Downloads

Fixed

• Fixed value layout flashing when hovering on the Raw Messages panel
• Fixed settings issues for URDFs from the /robot_description parameter and/or topic in the 3D panel

Downloads

Added

• Added a Spotlight plugin for MCAP files to the macOS desktop app, allowing MCAP files' topics, schemas, attachments, and metadata to be searchable via Finder and Spotlight

Changed

• Made deprecation banner for the 3D (Legacy) panel impossible to dismiss
• Replaced the packed "RGB"/"RGBA" color modes with a new “RGBA (separate fields)” mode for foxglove.PointCloud and foxglove.Grid topics in the 3D panel
• Removed the "RGB Byte Order" setting for ROS sensor_msgs/PointCloud2 topics in the 3D panel, and made the byte order compatible with RViz; renamed the color modes to “BGR”/“BGRA” to accurately reflect the actual byte order
• Make message handling in the Map panel more robust

Fixed

• Changed the Data source dialog’s behavior to immediately close after user clicks “Open” on a Velodyne LIDAR connection
• Enabled loading PointCloud2 messages with fields whose count is unsupported (i.e. ≠ 1) by hiding those fields

Downloads

Added

• Added a thumbnail image for the Parameters panel in the panel list

Changed

• Improved handling of the zoom state in the Plot and State Transitions panels
• Enabled faster preloading of large datasets when reading from Foxglove and local / remote file sources
• Improved performance for displaying foxglove.Grid messages in the 3D panel
• Improved handling of TF frame names in ROS 1 data stored in Foxglove
