0.21.0 - Graph view, 3D Grid & UI/UX improvements Latest
Latest

Rerun is an easy-to-use visualization toolbox for multimodal and temporal data.
Try it live at https://rerun.io/viewer.

📖 Release blogpost: https://rerun.io/blog/graphs

🧳 Migration guide: https://rerun.io/docs/reference/migration/migration-0-21

✨ Overview & highlights

Graph view

We've added two new logging primitives: GraphNodes and GraphEdges that can be used to visualize node-link diagrams. For this, we have implemented a new Graph View that uses force-based layouts to draw graphs.

This video demonstrates the main features of the new graph view:

graph_2_subtitles.mp4

You can also have a look at #7500 if you want to learn to more.

UX improvements

This video demonstrates the main UX improvements that went into this release:

0.21-ux-subs-convert.mp4

3D grid

The 3D view now offers an infinite 3D grid, enabled by default. Further controls and settings are available as usual through the blueprint API and/or the selection panel.

All the nitty gritty details in #8230 and #8234.

Undo/Redo support & many more UI/UX improvements

You can now undo/redo blueprint changes in the viewer!
Watch @emilk putting it to action and explains how it works:

undo-convert02.mp4

Other UX improvements

But that's not the only thing that improved in the viewer:

  • Breadcrumbs show up in the selection menu now

    image

  • Take screenshots of views from context menus

    image

  • Entities can now be dragged from Blueprint & Streams panel into views

    image

Index of code snippets

We now have a new index for all our code snippets.

You can use it to quickly find copy-pastable snippets of code for any Rerun feature you're interested in (API, Archetypes, Components, etc).
No special tools required -- all you need is a keyword of interest, and plain old text search.

It's still the early days so it is far from perfect, but we think it can already be quite helpful; feedback welcome.
Most of it is auto-generated, so it will never get out of sync!

⚠️ Breaking changes

  • Near clip plane for Spatial2D views now defaults to 0.1 in 3D scene units.
  • Blueprint: types and fields got renamed from .*space_view.*/.*SpaceView.* to .*view.*/.*View.*.
  • 3D transform arrow visualization show up less often by default.
  • DisconnectedSpace archetype/component is deprecated in favor of implicit invalid transforms (like zero scale or zero rotation matrix).
  • RotationAxisAngle with zero rotation axis is no longer treated as identity.

0.20.3 - Web viewer fix

Rerun is an easy-to-use visualization toolbox for multimodal and temporal data.
Try it live at https://rerun.io/viewer.

We introduced a Map view in 0.20, but did not enable its feature flag by default, which meant that all web viewer builds did not include it. This is now fixed, and the map view may be used in web viewer builds published by Rerun.

rerun_video_in_rerun.mp4

📖 Release blogpost: https://rerun.io/blog/dataframe

🧳 Migration guide: http://rerun.io/docs/reference/migration/migration-0-19

✨ Overview & highlights

This release introduces two powerful features: a dataframe API (and view), as well as video support.

☰ Dataframe API

We now have an API for querying the contents of an .rrd file. This integrates with popular packages such as Pandas, Polars, and DuckDB.

You can read more in the Dataframe API how-to guide.

We have also added a matching dataframe view inside the Rerun Viewer.
Read more here.

🎬 Video

Rerun now supports logging MP4 videos using the new AssetVideo archetype.
This can greatly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements.

While the web viewer supports a variety of codecs, the native viewer supports only the AV1 codec for the moment, but we plan to support H.264 in the near future as well.
Read more about our video supports (and its limits) in our video docs.

⚠️ Breaking changes

  • 🗾 Blueprint files (.rbl) from previous Rerun versions will no longer load automatically
  • 🐧 Linux: Rerun now requires glibc 2.17+
  • 🦀 Rust: The minimum supported Rust version is now 1.79
