<section id="preview2">
<h2>1.0.preview2<a class="headerlink" href="#preview2" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<section id="api-command-line-parameter-changes">
<h3>API + Command Line Parameter Changes<a class="headerlink" href="#api-command-line-parameter-changes" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Command line arguments for simulation API and device selection have changed, and are now aligned between the RL examples and general programming examples:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--physx_gpu</span></code> command line option has been removed.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--sim_device</span></code> is used to specify a device for simulation. It can take either <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cpu</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cuda:n</span></code> as options.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--pipeline</span></code> is used to explicitly choose either the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cpu</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gpu</span></code> tensor pipeline API.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>Command line arguments for setting the experiment name were improved and extended:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--experiment</span></code> command line option replaced <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--experiment_name</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--metadata</span></code> flag was added. When used with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--experiment</span> <span class="pre"><experiment</span> <span class="pre">name></span></code> additional information about the physics engine, sim device, pipeline and domain randomization is added to the experiment name.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>Refactored the API for applying rigid body forces:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The new body force API allows applying torques and using different coordinate spaces for force, torque, and position vectors.</p></li>
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apply_body_force</span></code> function was replaced by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apply_body_forces</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apply_body_force_at_pos</span></code> (see API docs).</p></li>
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apply_rigid_body_force_tensor</span></code> function was replaced by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apply_rigid_body_force_tensors</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apply_rigid_body_force_at_pos_tensors</span></code> (see tensor API docs).</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>Simulation determinism has been improved:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>A <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--seed</span></code> parameter can be set in RL examples to specify what random seed to use. Explicitly setting a seed should produce deterministic results between runs.</p></li>
<li><p>By default, the seed is set to <em>-1</em>, which will generate a random seed for each run.</p></li>
<li><p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--torch_deterministic</span></code> parameter can now be set to force additional determinism in PyTorch operations, at the expense of performance.</p></li>
<li><p>For more details, please refer to the Reproducibility section on the Reinforcement Learning Examples page.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>The base RL task class has been updated to prepare for future multi-gpu training support:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Any user environment inherited from the RL base task class should be updated as well</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>Asset root and file paths can now be read in from cfg files.</p></li>
<li><p>The method <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">attach_camera_to_body</span></code> now takes named enums instead of an integer argument for the camera attachment mode.</p></li>
<li><p>Contents in docker image are now placed under <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/opt</span></code> instead of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/workspace</span></code>.</p></li>
</ul>

<h2>Known Issues and Limitations<a class="headerlink" href="#known-issues-and-limitations" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Most of the rigid body tensor API is only available with PhysX.</p></li>
<li><p>Soft body support is currently only available with FleX.</p></li>
<li><p>Missing tensor API for setting all rigid body states: root and DOF state tensors can be used instead.</p></li>
<li><p>Missing API for configuring properties of spatial tendons.</p></li>
<li><p>When using the GPU pipeline, DOF states don’t refresh in the viewer.</p></li>
