Foxglove 2.20.0

↔️ Expand or trim the visualized time-range​

You can now expand or trim the range of data visualized in Foxglove. Click the "adjust playback range" button in the lower left of the screen when replaying a recording or time-range of data.

Adjust range button

With these updates you can:

  • Drag the handles on the playback bar for quick adjustments
  • Enter specific times into the dialog for precise adjustments
  • Copy a link to share the updated time-range selection with your team

🔎 Improved topic search and exploration​

When searching through the topics sidebar, you can now use search to narrow down to a topic and then expand it to view the fields that exist in that topic's message schema.

🚅 Better, faster Log panel​

The Log panel has been rewritten for improved performance. The new panel shows indicators in the scrollbar to make it easier to find warning & error messages.

📋 Copy links to recordings​

You can now copy links to recordings directly from the recording details page. This lets you easily copy links from the desktop app to share notable recordings with colleagues.
