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

We have started aiming for a higher release cadence, with smaller, more frequent releases.

🧩 Blueprint improvements

Blueprints now give you more control over playback and visualization settings.
You can define playback speed and FPS directly in blueprints, and manage time and timeline behavior through them as well.
The Blueprint panel is now always resizable, and we've added support for customizing plot backgrounds.

🔍 Table filtering upgrades

Table filtering just got a lot more capable. You can now filter on timestamps, use new string operators like starts with, ends with, and does not contain, and combine these with improved numeric and boolean filtering.

⚠️ Breaking changes

🐍 Python API

The blocking argument for flush has been removed, use the new timeout_sec argument instead, for non-blocking calls, set timeout_sec=0.
Mostly you can just call .flush() with no arguments.

We also have started using named arguments (kw-args) for more of our functions, this will make it easier for us to evolve our APIs in the future, when adding new arguments, or renaming old ones.

cargo install rerun-cli now requires a system installation of protoc.

See the 🧳 Migration guide for more details.
