v2.3.0: Brush tool, WebHooks, and Social auth

[nmanovic]

In this release, we’ve introduced new features based on our vision and suggestions in the CVAT community, plus addressed more than 20+ reported bugs. Thank you for reaching out and providing us with valuable feedback. Here is the list of features we are shipping:

• Added the Brush tool to create pixel masks for disjoint objects with multiple parts: a house hiding behind trees, a car behind a pedestrian, or a pillar behind a traffic sign. Read more.

  

• Added Webhooks for Projects and Organizations. Configure them to handle application notifications about changes in a specific project or organization. Read more.

  

• Added sorting by Z-Order: farthest from the camera objects go on the top of the list. Now sorted objects have an additional indication on the objects sidebar.

  

• Enabled leveraging of NVIDIA GPU for YOLO v5 serverless function. Now you can annotate with YOLO faster.

• Added social accounts authentication. Now you can log in to CVAT using your social auth accounts:

  • For App CVAT: Google and GitHub.
  • For local version: Google, GitHub, and the possibility to configure Social Auth with Django services.

• Added email authentication. Now you can authenticate in CVAT with your email instead of login.

  

• Added Propagation backward to the Confirm Propagation widget, now propagation works both ways.
