Known issue

• This release of the desktop app crashes on launch. Use 1.61.1 instead.

Changed

• Avoid re-computing messages in the User Scripts panel when global variables change
• Improved selection of thin scale_invariant LinePrimitive markers in the 3D panel

Fixed

• Fixed various parsing issues with FlatBuffers messages

Fixed

• Fixed the desktop app crashing on launch

Fixes

• Fixed layout migrations from the Image (Legacy) panel to the new Image panel
• When saving a user script, the new script is run on its inputs to produce updated output messages

Changed

• Improved Plot panel performance on large datasets
• Improved rendering performance of raw images in the Image and 3D panels by doing more processing in a background thread
• Improved Raw Messages panel rendering performance

We’ve removed the Image (Legacy) panel from this release – check out our docs for information on the new Image panel.

Changed

• Removed the Image (Legacy) panel
• Simplified error messages in the Problems sidebar to be more actionable
• Improved Raw Messages panel rendering performance

Fixed

• Fixed invalid message definitions when loading .db3 files containing foxglove_msgs

Added

• Added support for topic alias extensions, which programmatically alias data source topics to new topic names
• Display the time for a live data source connection in the top navigation
• Added support for setting style properties for GeoJSON objects in the Map panel
• Added support for displaying NavSatFix covariances as ellipses in the Map Panel

Changed

• Set the new navigation interface as the default
• Moved the "Topic" and "Schema" inputs into the Publish panel settings

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with advertising client channels when using the extension API’s context.advertise without specifying the datatypes over a Foxglove WebSocket connection
• Fixed a memory leak for long-running user scripts

Added

• Introduced a setting for the Plot panel to toggle lines between data points

Changed

• Moved the Plot panel’s “Download as CSV” feature from the toolbar to a context menu
• FlatBuffer messages will now appear with all schema-specified default values populated, even if they were not serialized explicitly in the binary data

Fixed

• Fixed the google.protobuf.Duration and google.protobuf.Timestamp generated type definitions in the User Scripts panel, so they match the way timestamps are represented in the rest of the app (i.e. {sec, nsec}, not {seconds, nanos})
• Fixed the precision of number input fields in the panel settings

We've added a new and improved Image panel that supports overlaying 3D markers on 2D images. The old "Image (Legacy)" panel is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Added

• Added the new Image panel

Changed

• Improved performance of the Plot panel on large datasets
• Improved error messages in the User Scripts panel for unsupported types
• Revised the panel extension API to allow passing a Time object, instead of a number, as an argument to the seekPlayback function
• Improved the User Scripts panel's recovery from input topic errors

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where built-in ROS datatypes were overwriting the data source’s included datatypes
• Fixed LinePrimitive rendering and selection issues in the 3D panel
• Fixed CDR serialization/deserialization of empty messages
• Fixed a bug with dynamic resizing of autocomplete options in the settings sidebar
• Fixed an issue where toggling the Plot panel legend opens the settings sidebar
• Fixed an issue with seeking precision in the Map panel
• Fixed message processing order in the User Scripts panel

Changed

• Added items for exploring sample data and opening the welcome dialog in the app menu

Fixed

• Fixed logic to detect hovered points in the Map panel
• Fixed player warning when changing a variable
• Fixed issue with image annotations not clearing when receiving an empty annotation in the Image panel
• Fixed missing dependency in @foxglove/studio npm package

Changed

• Adjusted message converter extensions API so that the converter function receives the full MessageEvent object as a second argument
• Avoid unnecessary advertisements of client channels when using the Foxglove WebSocket connection

Fixed

• Fixed issue with FlatBuffers data (via MCAP files or Foxglove WebSocket connection) being unable to parse tables including structs
• Fixed issue with editing the View section in the 3D panel settings
