Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (2025-09) for rerun-io/rerun: Delivered a feature-rich Arrow data explorer UI with a tree view and syntax highlighting, integrated with configurable DisplayOptions. Overhauled the syntax highlighting subsystem with a unified builder, explicit highlight control by callers, shorter names in displays, and macro-based generation for consistent append/with methods. Resolved UI reliability issues: columns menu no longer closes on internal clicks, menu buttons are always visible, space-origin editor focus remains stable, and copied numbers are plain text to avoid parsing issues. Modernized UI interactions by replacing the custom filter layout with egui Atoms, consolidating media UI components, and unifying button handling across LabelContent, PropertyContent, and SectionHeader. Strengthened stability and compatibility by upgrading core dependencies (egui and wgpu) to improve stability and reduce build/conflict issues.
