📋 Copy & Paste Tabs Across Layouts​

You can now copy and paste entire tabs—including all their panels and configurations—across layouts using the system clipboard. Right-click any tab to access "Copy tab" or right-click the tab bar background for "Paste tab." This makes it easy to reuse complex tab setups across different layouts.

🗺️ OpenSeaMap Layers for Map Panel​

The Map panel now supports additional overlay layers for nautical charts. Add Sea Marks, Shaded Relief (bathymetry), or Isobaths (depth contours) on top of your base map layer. Each layer can be toggled, reordered, and have its opacity adjusted independently.

📊 Bar Style for Gauge Panel​

The Gauge panel now supports a "bar" style in addition to the existing dial style. Choose the visualization that best fits your data—use the dial for traditional gauge readouts or the bar for linear progress indicators.

🎯 Drag & Drop from Settings Sidebar​

Topics and message paths can now be dragged from a panel's settings sidebar onto other panels. This makes it easy to quickly inspect topics in Raw Messages, add series to a Plot, or duplicate series from one panel to another.

🗓️ Introducing Event Types​

Event Types extend Events with structured schemas for timeline annotations. Instead of free-form key/value metadata, you can define custom properties that standardize how your team captures information during playback.

Define your schema in Settings: Create Event Types with custom properties (text, number, boolean, etc.) and mark properties as required to ensure critical fields are always filled in. You can also see which types and properties are actively in use across your recordings.

Improved visualization experience: Events on the playback bar are now colored by their Event Type, and filtering dims non-matching events, so you always know what exists. Edit events in a dedicated sidebar with inline validation, or drag to resize directly on the timeline. Events can have zero duration (instant markers) or span a time range.

API support: A full REST API is available for managing Event Types and querying typed events. Query events by metadata, typed properties, or both, and create or update typed events programmatically with property validation.

curl -X POST https://api.foxglove.dev/v1/event-types \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOXGLOVE_API_KEY" \
  -d '{ "name": "Hardware Fault", "colorName": "red" }'

📐 Plane Projection for Camera Topics​

You can now project camera images onto a reference plane in the 3D panel. This is especially useful for ground-plane projection, giving you a top-down view of camera data overlaid on your 3D scene. Select a projection frame from available transforms to map the camera output onto that plane.

🧱 Scrolling Stack Panel Layouts​

The new Stack panel lets you combine multiple panels into a single scrolling vertical layout, making it easier to build focused dashboards without sacrificing screen space. You can stack panels that share similar data or workflows and still keep each panel’s controls and configuration.

This is especially useful when you want to compare many related visualizations in vertical alignment.

🧊 Linked Voxel Selection Across 3D Panels​

Voxel selections in the 3D panel are now synchronized across multiple 3D panels that show the same voxel grids. When you click on a voxel in one panel using the object inspector, the corresponding voxel is highlighted in other linked 3D views.

This makes it easier to inspect the same region of space from multiple viewpoints or with different visualization settings.

🔗 Open Multiple Remote Files with Shareable Links​

Shareable links now support opening multiple remote .bag or .mcap files at once. Simply include multiple ds.url parameters in your link to load several files into a single session.

This makes it easier to share links that combine related recordings without requiring users to open each file separately.

This release fixes a bug where the Foxglove app would fail to visualize data hosted on Foxglove Data Platform with this error:

Failed to initialize source
both "connectorUrl" and "manifestUrl" are required

🎯 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.

🖼️ 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.

🐍 Python Notebook Integration​

You can now visualize data in any Jupyter-like notebook environment using the new notebook integration. Install the package with pip install "foxglove-sdk[notebook]", then use foxglove.init_notebook_buffer() to create a buffer for collecting and displaying data in an interactive Foxglove viewer within your notebook.

The integration supports:

• Streaming data visualization in Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, Google Colab, and VS Code
• Real-time updates using refresh() to update viewer data
• Local layout management for customized visualizations

Learn more in the Jupyter notebook documentation.

🔎 Recording Metadata Search API​

The optional metadataQuery parameter is now available in the Recordings List API. You can filter recordings by metadata using key-value search syntax:

• temperature:high — find recordings with sensor metadata where temperature is high
• status:* location:lab — find recordings with any status AND location lab
• *:error — find any key with "error" value
• warehouseName:"leaping llama" — use quotes for values with spaces

🔗 Iframe Embedding​

Embed Foxglove in your application or website using our TypeScript or React SDKs. The embedding capability enables multi-modal data visualization and debugging within your application.

The embedding SDK supports:

• Multiple data sources: load from local files, recordings, and live connections
• Local layout persistence: embed layouts now persist in IndexedDB, allowing users to make layout changes that are saved automatically
• Programmatic control: switch between layouts, revert changes, export layouts, and manage multiple layouts with the selectLayout API
• Extension support: install custom extensions programmatically (Enterprise only)

Learn more in the embedding documentation.

📜 Custom User Script Utilities​

Extension authors can now register custom utilities that user scripts can import and use. Create reusable functions in your extensions to share complex data processing logic across multiple user scripts.

This feature lets you:

• Register TypeScript utilities in extensions using registerUserScriptUtility
• Import and use utilities in user scripts like standard modules
• Keep utilities self-contained with their own source code and types
• View utility source code in the User Script panel's "Utilities" tab

Utilities are great for implementing domain-specific algorithms, helper functions, and reusable transformations that users might need across different scripts.
