Changes required for updating to be compatible with Isaac Sim 5.0 and
Kit 107.3. Notable changes include:
- Python version updated to 3.11, which means we need special support
for rl-games since it does not include python 3.11 support out of the
box. Additionally, rl-games has not updated torch.load with weights_only
flag required since torch 2.6.
- Updates pytorch to 2.7 for Blackwell support. We now uninstall the
torch build that comes with isaac sim as part of the isaacsim.sh/bat
script and forces an install of torch 2.7 with torchvision
- Removal of deprecated flags in kit that no longer exist -
improve_path_friction and SETTING_BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY
- Some tests are still timing out / failing - there seems to be an issue
with the first load of assets that's causing checks like
`stage.ResolveIdentifierToEditTarget(usd_path)` and `is_prim_path_valid`
to take up to a minute.
