This release is identical to 0.14.0 and merely fixes an issue in the build artifacts for C++: 0.14.0 only contained binaries for Linux x64, this release has the full set for Linux x64, Windows x64, Mac x64 & Mac Arm64.

📈 Limits for number of points & lines per space view lifted.
🖱️ Added context menu (right-click) actions for items on the Blueprint panel. (Only getting started on this, more actions in future releases!)
🚀 Speed improvements for scenes with many transforms and large point clouds.
🔺 Built-in STL mesh support.
🎥 First-person camera.
🐛 Fixes regressions in Space View spawn heuristics from 0.13, and many more bugfixes.

0.13.0 - Fast time series, improved layout editing & UI overrides - 2024-02-12

✨ Overview & highlights

This release focuses on scalar time series -- both from a performance and UI perspectives. Check out our associated blog post for more information.

📈 Rerun can now visualize many time series in the kHz range in real-time:
- The new query cache optimizes data access, improving query performance by 20-50x
- Sub-pixel aggregation prevents unnecessary overdraw when rendering plots, improving rendering time by 30-120x
- Points, lines, arrows and boxes all benefit from query caching too to a lesser extent, yielding 2-5x performance improvements
🖼 UI overrides:
- The new Scalar, SeriesLine & SeriesPoint archetypes allow for customizing plots both at logging and visualization time
- Customize marker shapes, marker sizes, etc from code or directly through the UI
- Specify axis labels, lock axes, etc from code or directly through the UI
🌁 Viewer:
- The number of compute threads can now be controlled using the --threads/-j flag
- Added support YUY2-encoded images (thanks @oxkitsune!)
- Space views can now be drag-and-dropped directly from the blueprint tree
- Scenes with 100+ entities are now up to 5x faster.
🚚 New Space View and Container creation workflow:
- When selected, containers have a children list in the Selection Panel, where new Space Views and Containers may be added.
- New modal dialog to add Space Views and Containers.
- The same dialog is also available from the + button of the Blueprint tree UI.
- The Space View's origin can now be edited in the Selection Panel.
- The container hierarchy can now be cleaned up with the new Simplify Hierarchy button in the Selection Panel for containers.
🦀 The Rust SDK now exposes an optional integration with the mint crate
🕸️ The web UI SDK now supports loading multiple .rrd URLs
🔺 The web viewer now renders using WebGPU by default (when available), leading to lower memory usage on Chrome. You can override this behavior using ?renderer=webgl/?renderer=webgpu url parameter, or restart with WebGL/WebGPU respectively from the options menu.

As well as a lot of miscellaneous bug fixes and usability improvements: see details below.

Check out our migration guide.
