Changelog

Primary Site v0.0.87

December 2, 2025

Added

The indexer now supports indexing multiple buckets.

Performance

The query server streams back files faster for index-in-place sites using MCAP.

🎯 Configurable Fixed Frame for 3D Panels

You can now choose a fixed frame for 3D panels instead of always using the TF root. The fixed frame dropdown controls the coordinate system used for rendering and accumulation, giving you more control over how your 3D data is visualized.

This is particularly useful when working with complex TF trees where you want to use a specific frame as your world reference.

📊 Depth Images as Point Clouds

The 3D panel now supports rendering uncompressed depth images as point clouds. This enables visualization of depth camera data directly in 3D space, with configurable depth scale and point size settings.

Depth scale defaults to 0.001 for 8-bit and 16-bit images, and 1.0 for 32-bit images. You can customize this value to match your camera system's depth scale configuration.

📐 @norm Math Modifier for Vector Fields

A new @norm math modifier lets you plot the norm (magnitude) of 2D or 3D vectors directly using message path syntax. For example, you can use /imu.linear_acceleration.@norm to plot the magnitude of a linear acceleration vector over time.

This eliminates the need to create a user script just to compute vector magnitudes, making it easier to visualize overall vector behavior in your plots.

🔗 Create Visualization Links Using Event IDs

Share links can now include the ds.eventId parameter when using the foxglove-stream data source. This allows you to create shareable URLs that directly stream data for a specific event without needing to manually specify device ID and time range.

New & Improved

3D panel now shows voxel details in the object inspector when clicking on VoxelGrid objects
Image panel now displays RGB values in the tooltip for RGB and BGR images
Image panel now includes an option to display raw (distorted) images even when camera calibration is available, useful for wide field of view cameras such as fisheye
Improved styling and selection behavior in the event sidebar, including scroll-into-view on selection
Shared query field for searching both typed properties and untyped metadata in device events
Added event ID filter to device events page for searching specific events by ID
Added action buttons to copy and plot vector norm values from the Raw Messages panel
Topic message converters can now access and watch global variables from your layout
Embed API now supports organization extensions in hosted embed instances
Image panel shows a visual indicator when video decoding falls behind playback
Table panel now preserves the selected page index during playback
Simplified loading states across device, event, and settings tables with unified spinner

Fixes

Fixed jerkiness in label size slider by removing precision constraint
Restored refresh hotkey functionality on desktop
Fixed issue with state charts and user scripts on live data sources
Fixed handling of flatbuffer messages in AudioPanel waveform renderer
GeoJSON tooltips in the Map panel now follow the mouse cursor for better visibility
Fixed support for empty string frame IDs in the 3D panel

Foxglove 2.40.0

November 17, 2025

🖼️ Synced Pixel Cursor Across Image Panels

Hovering on a pixel in the Image panel now shows the pixel value across all Image panels displaying images sharing the same frame_id and dimensions.

🔗 Improvements to Embedding Foxglove

The embed API now includes several enhancements:

getLayout method: The API now includes a method to export the current layout from the embed. This enables programmatic access to layout data for sharing and other use cases.

For the React package, a ref is available to access this functionality:
```
const viewerRef = useRef<FoxgloveViewer>(null);
const layout = await viewerRef.current?.getLayout();
```
Recordings by Device: You can now select a recording data source by deviceName or deviceId with optional start and end time parameters. This enables more flexible data source selection in embedded Foxglove instances.

📋 Event Details Page

You can now view details of individual events on a dedicated page. This page provides a way to link to a specific event. All actions from the event list page are available, including visualize, view recordings, download, and delete.

🐟 Fisheye62 Distortion Model

Added support for the Fisheye62 distortion model, a distortion model that adds tangential distortion parameters (p₀, p₁) to the Kannala–Brandt distortion model, along with an optional critical angle (θ_crit). This model is compatible with SymForce and Project Aria Fisheye62 calibrations. If θ_crit is not provided, it is calculated automatically from the radial coefficients.

New & Improved

The pointClouds.ts User Scripts utility now supports int8, uint32, and float64 for ROS PointCloud2 messages
Topic converter extension topics can now be used as input topics for user scripts
Problems tab badge count now includes player and session problems
Added copy and plot buttons for timestamp structs in the Raw Messages panel
Improved error messaging when an advertised channel uses an unknown schema
The Raw Messages panel now displays a degree symbol next to rpy values for quaternion fields

Fixes

Fixed 5s delay when unmounting extension panels
Fixed the ability to select Grid and VoxelGrid objects in the 3D panel when using the inspector
Fixed live subscriptions on topic aliases for state transition charts
Fixed an issue with keyframe lookback on aliased image topics
Fixed GridMap and Grid disappearing in the 3D panel when viewed from certain angles
Fixed Grid gradient coloring using auto for min and max values
Fixed an issue where if a series in an index-based plot contained all NaN values, other series would not display
Restored @derivative and @delta modifiers for filtered paths
Fixed crashes and freezes when loading invalid or empty VoxelGrid messages
Fixed cursor moving while typing in metadata search input
Fixed error when message-path plots point to series with no data
Fixed plots reloading data when a series before them is deleted
Fixed the playback bar buttons being enabled after the "Create Event" modal closes
Fixed seek-on-click behavior for events in sidebar

Primary Site v0.0.84

November 6, 2025

This primary site release adds an optional feature that will send health metrics to Foxglove.

These metrics are all Prometheus metrics generated by the Foxglove services in the chart (query-server, inbox-listener or indexer, and site-controller) as well as the new kube-state-metrics component that monitors the pods and deployments in your cluster's Foxglove namespace.

This feature can be disabled by setting the following in your values.yaml:

globals:
  publishSiteMetrics: false

Added

Added new deployment for kube-state-metrics. This will monitor the Foxglove namespace and produce metrics about the health of pods.

It can be disabled by updating your values.yaml file:
```
kubeStateMetrics:
  enabled: false
```
The site-controller will now gather health metrics from the Foxglove namespace and send them to Foxglove. These metrics will be used to monitor the health of your deployment.

It can be disabled by updating your values.yaml file:
```
globals:
  publishSiteMetrics: false
```
