Overview & Highlights

🌊 C++ SDK improvements
- Reference docs are live!
- 2x-5x faster logging
- CMake install support and other CMake setup improvements
- Support for custom components & archetypes
- Zero copy logging for images, various API improvements
📈 Visual History -> Visual Time Range
- Time series plots can now limit its query to a range
- Much more powerful UI, allowing query ranges relative to time cursor
🕸️ The viewer can now be easily embedded in your web apps via our npm package
🐍 ⚠️ Legacy Python API now removed, check the migration guide if you're not using rr.log yet
🦀 The new StoreSubscriber trait allows to be notified of all changes in the datastore. This can be used to build custom indices and trigger systems, and serves as a foundation for upcoming performance improvements. Check out our example for more information.
