v0.4.17

ruviz v0.4.17

Released: 2026-05-24

Highlights

• Large line and scatter rendering paths are faster while preserving the reference-quality public PNG/SVG output contract.
• Benchmark comparison tooling now catches incomplete candidate payloads and reports output-target differences explicitly.
• New high-level plot APIs and render paths cover area, stem, boxen, step, and quiver use cases more consistently.
• Backend resolution now keeps explicit user choices predictable while avoiding DataShader placement errors on non-linear axes.

Version Alignment

This release keeps the published workspace packages aligned on one version:

• ruviz 0.4.17
• ruviz-web 0.4.17
• ruviz-gpui 0.4.17
• npm ruviz 0.4.17
• PyPI ruviz 0.4.17

Fixes And Maintenance

• Fixed area and stem rendering so filled geometry and stems are visible in public outputs and their bounds include baselines.
• Fixed horizontal boxen bounds, SVG boxen drawing, empty boxen input errors, and boxen SVG color handling.
• Fixed quiver validation, bounds, styling, DPI-scaled SVG strokes, PNG/SVG axis-scale mapping, and diagnostic preservation.
• Fixed annotation rendering on log and symlog PNG axes.
• Fixed explicit DataShader behavior so it does not silently misplace scatter density images on non-linear axes.
• Fixed benchmark comparison scripts to fail on missing candidate rows and compare outputTarget explicitly.

Quality And Validation

This release builds on green CI for PR #73 and the post-merge main CI run, plus targeted local checks during release prep:

• cargo check --all-targets
• cargo test --test nonbreaking_plot_api_test -- --test-threads=1
• python3 -m py_compile benchmarks/plotting/compare.py
• git diff --check
