Happy release day! We're excited to bring you a selection of new treats:

Added

• Native ROS 1 connection support! You can now connect directly to a running rosmaster, without needing to run the rosbridge_server WebSocket node (which is still fully supported).
• Better timestamp formatting in the 3D panel
• Hid the playback bar when connected to a live robot
• Moved Electron Developer Tools under View -> Advanced menu
• Added support for nav_msgs/Path
• Added telemetry (opt-out available in settings.json)

Changed

• Opening bags compressed with bz2 is at least 2x faster
• Improvements to keyboard shortcuts and undo/redo handling
• Always use dark mode if the OS supports it, to match our app theme
• Keep layout menu open after deleting a layout
• Renamed WebSocket to Rosbridge in the UI
• Lots more refactoring and improvements under the hood!

Fixed

• Many improvements to error handling around new connections
• Fixed bug when displaying unknown panels
• Fixed markers not being properly deselected
• Fixed table color inheritance

Removed

• Removed the 2D Plot panel. This had overlapping features with the existing Plot panel (not to mention a confusing name), and we plan to merge their features.

It's that time of the week again! Here's what we've been working on:

Added

• Layout management! No longer are you constrained to a single layout. You can now save multiple layouts for different purposes, and easily switch between them. You can also import/export layouts as json files to share with friends.
• New Welcome layout and panel, explaining how to get started with Foxglove.

Fixed

• Fixed various issues regarding missing tf frames, preventing prominent open source bags from loading in the 3D panel

Removed

• We removed the Note panel. We plan to investigate better ways of annotating layouts.

Just some small quality of life changes.

Changed

• macOS builds are now universal binaries

Fixed

• Windows automatic updates should now be working

Happy Monday! Here are some new features and tweaks for your enjoyment...

Added

• Windows builds are now available! Try them out and send us your feedback.
• Added file association support (double click to open .bag files in Foxglove)

Changed

• Improved Experimental Features dialog
• UX improvements to showing/hiding menus

Removed

• Removed vim support in Node Playground editor

Fixed

• Fixed incorrect rendering of special characters

Note: v0.1.3 was removed, as it contained a bug loading bag files. This has now been fixed. Sorry for the interruption!
