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

✨ Overview & highlights

Syntax highlighting

Our data frames and selection panel now feature prettier colors based on data types.

Table filtering

We are busy working on a powerful filtering feature for our arrow dataframe widget used for tables (sent with ViewerClient.send_table()) as well as the Rerun server browser (entry list, partition list, and remote tables). This release introduces support for filtering boolean, integer, floating point, and string columns, with more coming in future releases. (Note that the text log views and dataframe views are using a different widget which does not support filtering.)

Transparent objects

We finally support transparency for meshes & various shapes (boxes, ellipsoids, etc.)!

transparency.mp4

Source of transparency ("alpha") is a bit limited for now:

  • color component on all of Boxes3D, Ellipsoids3D, Capsules3D & Cylinders3D
  • Mesh3D's albedo factor
  • Asset3D albedo color (depends on the underlying model format)

Naturally, there's still a lot of places missing where we'd like to add transparency support!

Experimental MCAP support

Rerun has experimental, partial support for importing data from MCAP files. We support a subset of ROS2/CDR and Protocol Buffers messages. Development is ongoing, feel free to share your use cases!

⚠️ Breaking changes

We removed the --serve, --drop-at-latency and -o CLI arguments, deprecated Python 3.9 and changed archetype specification in AnyValues.

We also removed flush_timeout_sec parameter to out connect functions. Instead you can specify a maximum wait time in the calls to flush, but usually this isn't needed, as the new blocking behavior is also much smarter.

See the
🧳 Migration guide for more details.
