:rocket: Ultralytics v8.4.182: Stronger Label Checks and Clearer Linux Drive Reports

Ultralytics YOLO v8.4.182 catches invalid bounding boxes earlier and makes Linux system reports easier to read. This maintenance release focuses on dataset reliability and cleaner drive reporting.

:shield: Dataset Label Validation

The negative box dimension fix by @glenn-jocher strengthens label verification:

  • Rejects negative widths and heights, catching invalid boxes before they cause errors when validation plots attempt to draw them.
  • Preserves the existing coordinate tolerance and continues to allow zero-size boxes.
  • Refreshes dataset caches through a cache version bump, so existing datasets are automatically rescanned with the updated checks.

:penguin: Linux Drive Reporting

The Linux drive discovery improvement by @glenn-jocher updates SystemLogger to report each block device only once.

By selecting one mount per device, system reports avoid duplicate entries caused by bind mounts—making drive information clearer, especially on systems with multiple mounts of the same device.

:package: Try v8.4.182

Install this release with:

pip install --upgrade ultralytics==8.4.182
