0.5.0

Release Notes

The first release with the 2D chart set, DAG rendering, and live feeds. Every
feature below reaches Python, Rust (Ratatui), Go (Bubble Tea), the C ABI, the
browser (WASM), and the CLI, with argument validation and error strings shared
so the frontends cannot drift.

Added

2D charts. Step, histogram, box, heatmap, and band traces join scatter,
line and bar, with grouped and stacked bar modes, error bars, per-point color,
size and marker shape, categorical axes, and a colorbar. Chart text is set in
Martian Mono.

Axis semantics. Chart and axis titles — the y title drawn rotated in the
left margin — plus explicit x/y ranges and log₁₀ scales. A range pins the
extent only, so zoom and pan still compose on top of it; a log axis ticks in
powers of ten and simply does not place values at or below zero.

DAG and pipeline rendering. Directed graphs as labelled boxes wired by
arrows, laid out by rank with a Sugiyama layout (cycle removal, longest-path
ranking, dummy nodes, barycenter sweeps, priority coordinate passes). Nodes
pick and hover, colors repaint live so a running pipeline shows its state, and
reachable lights everything a task waits on. A DOT subset reads straight in.

Live feeds. plotui --follow keeps reading rows after the first frame and
appends them in place, so pan, zoom and the range slider survive an update.
--window <N> and --last <span> keep the view on the newest data, drawn on
the range slider against the whole run; a drag hands the view over and f
takes it back.

Time series. A range-slider strip with draggable handles, an explicit x
window that autoscales y to what is inside it, and calendar axes from ISO-8601
or datetime x columns.

3D. Mesh3d triangle meshes with a marching-cubes utility, and a
force-directed 3D graph layout.

CLI. dag, step, hist, box, --title, --x-title, --y-title,
--x-range, --y-range, --log-x, --log-y, --follow, --window,
--last, --range-slider, and --out for exporting a frame or recording an
animation (.png, .mp4, .gif, .webm). New example scenes: pipeline,
aizawa, mandelbulb, lidar, protein.

Changed

• The website runs every demo on the real engine compiled to WASM, rather than
  on a reimplementation, and gained a 2D gallery and a DAG card.
• The Go bindings are built and tested in CI.

Fixed

• plotui.__version__ reported 0.3.0 against 0.4.x wheels. It now comes from
  the native module, which takes it from the crate, so there is one version in
  the build and nothing left to drift.
