ACAP version 12.0 is released and is compatible with AXIS OS 12.0. No, you didn't read that wrong, ACAP versioning is now aligned with AXIS OS!

New additions:

• Version alignment: ACAP release versions and ACAP Native SDK versions now align with AXIS OS major and minor versioning. This change simplifies understanding AXIS OS compatibility.
• Base container image: the ACAP Native SDK base container image has been updated to Ubuntu 24.04.

Security updates:

• Root-privileged access: removed in AXIS OS 12.0. For details, see the announcement on axis.com.
• Application signing: signing of ACAP applications is required by default starting with AXIS OS 12.0. This can still be disabled for now but will become mandatory in a future major release.

ACAP Computer Vision:

• Refactoring and renaming: the ACAP Computer Vision SDK is now the ACAP Computer Vision solution. Utility libraries and scripts have been moved to ACAP Runtime. See the acap-computer-vision-sdk-examples repository for usage.
• Deprecation notice: the ACAP Computer Vision solution is deprecated. New Axis products on AXIS OS 12.x will not have container support. Existing products with container support will be supported until the end of 2031, aligning with the end of AXIS OS 2026 LTS. The recommended approach for developing analytics, computer vision, and machine learning applications on Axis devices is using the ACAP Native SDK. See the acap-native-sdk-examples repository for details.
