# Description

Some environment tests were hitting memory constraints when run with 32
environments, we limit these to only single env tests now. Additionally,
there were reports of torchvision and torch version mismatch, we now
include both in the installation commands.

# Description

To support creation of managers before the simulation starts playing (as
needed by the event manager for USD randomizations), the MR in #2040
added a callback to resolve scene entities at runtime. However, certain
class-based manager terms can also not be initialized if the simulation
is not playing. Those terms may often rely on parameters that are only
available once simulation plays (for instance, joint position limits).

This MR moves the initializations of class-based manager terms to the
callback too.

Fixes #2136

# Description

Certain scene-level randomizations (such as randomizing the scale) must
happen before the simulation starts playing. To this end, the MR adds a
new event mode called "prestartup," which gets called right after the
scene design is complete and before the simulation is played.

Since the scene entities cannot be resolved before the simulation starts
playing (as we currently rely on PhysX to provide us with the joint/body
ordering), the MR adds a callback to resolve the scene entity
configurations separately once the simulation plays.

This MR replaces the prior implementation in #1165

# Description

Currently, the actions from the policy are directly applied to the
environment and also often fed back to the policy using the last action
as observation.

Doing this can lead to instability during training since applying a
large action can introduce a negative feedback loop.
More specifically, applying a very large action leads to a large
last_action observations, which often results in a large error in the
critic, which can lead to even larger actions being sampled in the
future.

This PR aims to fix this for RSL-RL library, by clipping the actions to
(large) hard limits before applying them to the environment. This
prohibits the actions from growing continuously and greatly improves
training stability.

Fixes #984, #1732, #1999

# Description

Sometimes users want to import a USD file which doesn't have any
collider meshes. This MR allows having such USD files in the terrain
importer for visualization purposes.

Additionally, the MR removes the storage of warp and tri-mesh based
meshes inside the class. These are stored into the USD and are read
directly from there whenever needed. Their intended use-case for having
them inside the terrain class is not needed.

# Description

There was a lot of code duplication happening inside the `Articulation`
class. This MR takes a step towards untangling some of the confusion
that gets caused by default and non-default data attributes inside the
class.

The MR includes the following changes:

* Removes operations where we set the data to "torch.zeros" and in the
next function assign them the value from PhysX. This made the code
bulkier and complex for no reason.
* Adds docstring clarifications to make it clear what is what. The
default values are now whatever the user configures from their
configuration of the articulation class.
* Updates the `soft_joint_pos_limits` when the user writes the joint pos
limits to the simulator.
* Renames parameters for a consistent nomenclature:
* ``joint_velocity_limits`` → ``joint_vel_limits`` (to match attribute
``joint_vel`` and ``joint_vel_limits``)
* ``joint_limits`` → ``joint_pos_limits`` (to match attribute
``joint_pos`` and ``soft_joint_pos_limits``)
  * ``default_joint_limits`` → ``default_joint_pos_limits``
* ``write_joint_limits_to_sim`` → ``write_joint_position_limit_to_sim``
  * ``joint_friction`` → ``joint_friction_coeff``
  * ``default_joint_friction`` → ``default_joint_friction_coeff``
* ``write_joint_friction_to_sim`` →
``write_joint_friction_coefficient_to_sim``
  * ``fixed_tendon_limit`` → ``fixed_tendon_pos_limits``
  * ``default_fixed_tendon_limit`` → ``default_fixed_tendon_pos_limits``
  * ``set_fixed_tendon_limit`` → ``set_fixed_tendon_position_limit``

Fixes #1583, #1904

# Description

The RayCasterCamera test checks that the vertical aperture should match
the value specified in the config. However, the config's vertical
aperture is not set. This PR updates the test to check against the
default computed vertical aperture value instead.

# Description

In the Isaac Sim 4.5 release, ``TiledCamera`` produces incorrect
semantic and instance segmentation outputs when using instanceable
assets. With scene instancing enabled, only the first tile generates
correct outputs while other tiles produces blank data. This change
introduces a workaround for the issue by disabling instancing on the
assets when semantic segmentation and instance segmentation data is
required from ``TiledCamera``. This workaround introduces a small
slowdown in performance, but it's not significant when running with
smaller scenes, which is normally the case when using rendering.

Fixes #1946

# Description

This is a documentation only change that adds instructions for updating
pytorch to the nightly build when running with 50 series GPUs to avoid
CUDA issues. In addition, we added the v2.0.1 release notes and an extra
note for the v2.0.0 release for a breaking change in the semantic and
instance segmentation outputs when using tiled cameras.

# Description

In the Camera class, we assumed that the default device for the torch
tensor is CPU when we allocate the `rot` buffer during init. This isn't
always the case if the user overwrites the torch device beforehand. This
fix explicitly sets the tensor device to CPU on allocation.

# Description

Previously in the Articulation class, there was a single method for
setting joint state. However, it is desirable at times to only set joint
position or velocity. For instance, for randomization events that pushes
a joint by adding a random velocity to it.

This MR separates the `write_joint_state_to_sim` into separate setters
for joint positions and joint velocities. This goes inline with the
method to set root pose, root velocity or the root state.
