Explore updates replaced legacy UI with a context-driven query params approach, swapped mode hook to use it, and persisted toolbar state in local storage to reduce setup time and improve consistency. Discovery and Search improvements refined chart options and filtering: hidden non-essential options, allowed integers in count, and recents-based release builder filter. Maintenance work removed unused traces indexing and migrated visuals to shared components; spans tracing refinements include exposing client/server sample rates and porting visualizations to a shared visualize. Quality/Platform: upgraded Sentry Python to 2.35.1; added basic tests for ourlogs across replays, events, and trace details; improved logs rendering with units, copy tweaks, and UI polish; reinforced EAP with top-events None handling and trace id accuracy. Overall impact: faster issue triage, more reliable dashboards, reduced maintenance overhead, and higher developer productivity across Logging, Explore, and Traces.

July 2025 highlights across getsentry/sentry and getsentry/snuba include a major Explore UI/UX overhaul, targeted stability fixes, and performance optimizations that deliver tangible business value.
