Hello all,

It’s been a while since we first [introduced Foxglove Studio](http://discourse.ros.org/t/foxglove-studio-visualization-and-debugging-for-ros/19627) (foxglove.dev), our open source tool for comprehensive robotics data visualization and debugging.

We recently released v0.10.2, with some exciting new features to help accelerate your ROS dev workflows:

- **Improved app initialization performance**
- **Streamlined UI** – Integrated workspace controls into one convenient sidebar UI – use to configure app preferences, perform layout actions, and set variables.
- **ROS 1 Publishing** – Bundled ROS 1 common data types & added support for publishing via the native ROS connection.
- **Common ROS datatypes** – Added & exposed built-in definitions for common ROS datatypes.
- **@foxglove/rosmsg** – Added a package specifically for ROS message parsing.
- **Image panel improvements** – Optimized camera tuning capabilities & added custom zoom levels, more image encodings, and marker array support for overlaid markers.

We also have some exciting work in progress to support several widely requested features: **shared team layouts** , **user-contributed extensions** (e.g. custom panels for your project-specific needs), and **ROS 2 support**.

You can **download the app** at [foxglove.dev/download](https://foxglove.dev/download), and check out our [full release notes](https://github.com/foxglove/studio/releases) and [documentation](https://foxglove.dev/docs) for more details!

As always, **feedback is always welcome** – reach us with feature requests and questions here in this thread, or on [Slack](https://foxglove.dev/join-slack), [GitHub](https://github.com/foxglove/studio), and [Twitter](https://twitter.com/foxglovedev).

ROS2 is what I’m looking forward to! ETA for this feature?

We have a large but early stage project so we can give valuable feedback as y’all develop this.

Thanks,  
Kyle
