🧳 Migration guide: http://rerun.io/docs/reference/migration/migration-0-17

✨ Overview & highlights

  • 🟦 Blueprint component override & defaults, and visualizer override for all views
    • Component defaults: Configure default component value for an entire view, used when no values are logged to the data store (using rr.log()).
    • Component overrides: Specify a value to use regardless of the data-store & default values and use specified value instead. Can be set per view per entity.
    • Visualizer overrides: Specify a visualizer to use for a given entity in a given view. Previously only available for scalar data in timeseries views, now available for all view kinds.
    • All three are available from the (fully revamped) UI and the Python blueprint APIs.
    • Everything that was editable per entity in a view now uses component overrides (e.g. camera plane distance, transform axis lengths, etc.)
    • Tip: Tooltips for each component in the UI include a link to the docs now!
  • 🕸️ Improved notebook & website embedding support
    • Now you can stream data from the notebook cell to the embedded viewer.
    • Much improved support for having multiple viewers on the same web page.
    • More configuration options have been added to control the visibility of the Menu bar, time controls, etc.
    • Note: Use pip install "rerun-sdk[notebook]" to include the better notebook support. This includes the new rerun-notebook package, which is used internally by [rerun-sdk].
  • 🧑‍🏫 New Examples
  • 🛠️ Improved the logging API with many new and updated archetypes and components (see migration guide)
  • 🖼️ TensorView is now fully configurable from blueprint code
  • 🎛️ Revamped selection panel UI
  • 🚚 Much work is being done under-the-hood to migrate our data-store to "chunks" (aka units of batched data). More on this in the next release!
    • SDKs are already using chunks to transport data to the viewer, performance characteristics may have changed but should be largely the same for the moment.

⚠️ Breaking changes

  • HalfSizes2D has been renamed to HalfSize2D
  • HalfSizes3D has been renamed to HalfSize3D
  • .rrd files from older versions won't load in Rerun 0.17
