🧳 Migration guide: https://rerun.io/docs/reference/migration/migration-0-22

✨ Overview & highlights

Viewer

  • 🔎 Added entity filtering/searching
  • 🔔 Recent notifications show now in a dedicated panel
  • 🖱️ Entity ranges can now be selected with shift + click
  • ❓ Improved panel help
  • 🖼️ Crisper UI rendering
  • 🧊 Faster 3D transforms

APIs

The API & related under-the-hood changes pave the way for better support for multiple archetypes on the same entity and components with generic types in future releases.
Stay tuned!

⚠️ Breaking changes

Passing raw batches of components is no longer supported. Instead, use the partial update APIs (or in rare cases, explicitly serialize the components).

Check the 🧳 Migration guide for before/after snippets for all languages for this and other smaller breaking changes.
