🗃️ Direct file access​

If you have a self-managed Primary Site, you can now get the path of MCAP files in your data lake using the /lake-files endpoint. This allows you to directly access your Foxglove data for things like custom analysis, machine learning, post-processing, resimulation, and more.

You can query the /lake-files endpoint for the data associated with a device using deviceId or deviceName and a time range. Alternatively you can request the indexed data associated with a recording using recordingId or recordingKey. In either case, you'll get a list of MCAP files in object storage that you can directly access using your prefered AWS, GCP, or Azure SDKs and tools.

This release contains support for downloading and retrying quarantined files.

New & Improved

• Added: support for downloading quarantined pending imports. This feature will be enabled through the UI in the near future.

• Note: For this to work, deployers will need to double-check permissions on their inbox bucket to make sure that their stream service has access to read from them.

• Added: support for retrying quarantined pending imports. This feature will be enabled through the UI in the near future.

  Fixes

• Fixed: if the garbage collector cannot delete a temp file, it will log an error instead of aborting.

• Fixed: the request ID tag in inbox listener logs now matches the request ID in the foxglove API for pending imports.

• Fixed: various corrupt BAG and MCAP errors will now result in the file being quarantined immediately rather than retrying 3 times.

🕥 Quickly switch timezones​

You can now quickly update the timezone being used to display data from the navigation at the top of the app.

📏 Maps have scales​

• Improved the layout and usability of "Selected object" pop-up in 3D and Image panel

Performance

• Minor Plot panel performance improvements

Fixes

• The "Selected object" pop-up no longer disappears from the Image panel when mousing away
• Users should no longer experience problems where layouts fail to save because of a Conflict error
• Resolved playback problems with schemaless MCAP files
• The cursor now correctly repositions after auto-closing curly braces in message path editors

👓 Easily view webhook IDs​

Webhook IDs are now displayed in the Webhooks page, viewable by organization Admins, making it easier to manage and debug your webhooks. Webooks are available on the Team and Enterrpise plans. Read the webhook docs to learn more.

🪴 Expanded message converter support​

The Diagnostics Summary and Detail panels now support message converters, so these panels can be used when your data source does not use the standard ROS DiagnosticArray message type.

New & Improved

• Hovering over a topic in the sidebar now shows the full topic name
• The Insights page for organization Admins now allows you to adjust the time range for the data displayed (docs)
• OMG IDL union message discriminators no longer require a specific or default case defined; When there is no specified or default case it will only show the discriminator value in the message

Performance

• Improved playback performance and reduced memory consumption when using multiple 3D or Image panels
• Improved rendering speed of point clouds in the 3D panel in some cases
• Improved user script performance for some usage patterns
• Reduced video delay by dropping old frames when new frames are coming in faster than they can be rendered

Fixes

• Fixed a bug with URL state on the /view page when changing data sources
• Fixed a bug where latched static transforms were not being received by new panels

API

• Added a topic query parameter to the GET /v1/recordings endpoint to filter on the presence of a given topic
• The importId parameter is deprecated for the /v1/data/stream and /v1/data/topics endpoints; use recordingId or key instead

🚀 Better video rendering performance​

Linux and Windows users will now see a roughly 5x improvement in rendering performance of CompressedVideo topics in the Image panel. Specific performance gains will always depend on the particulars of your workload.

🗺️ An improved Map panel​

We've fully reworked the Map panel to improve its rendering efficiency, and in the process, we added several new features:

• GeoJSON "points" are now displayed as a dot on the map rather than the marker icon, and points follow the layer color
• GPS points now have a "Point style" option to choose whether they are displayed as dots or pin markers
• A new "History mode" option allows you to choose whether all points are displayed, only the most recent point is displayed, or only past points are displayed
• When viewing live data, the Map panel can be configured to preserve historic GPS points to show the device's path

New & Improved

• Table column sizes now persist between page loads
• The Timeline view now includes the day of week in the 4-hour, day, and week views
• Added support for clearing problems through Foxglove WebSocket

Fixes

• Fixed an issue causing incorrect message counts in the topic sidebar when filtering
• MCAP files with two channel schemas that differ in only whitespace will no longer show an error about inconsistent datatypes
• Fixed an issue where you had to refresh the app after reverting layout changes for the layout to update
• Fixed an issue causing values to not wrap to the next line properly in the Raw messages panel
• Fixed a problem causing ROS marker points to disappear when using the orthographic view in the 3D panel
• Fixed an issue where Services were not callable over a rosbridge connection
• Extension README and changelog files now support relative links to other files in the source repo
• Events can now be viewed and created when streaming Foxglove data by device name and recording key

🤝 All of your settings in one place​

We've consolidated all settings in one place to make configuring Foxglove easier. Navigate to the Settings page, where you can manage your user settings like color scheme, install local extensions, and browse available public extensions. Organization admins can manage organization settings like billing, custom properties, and API keys.
