v1.24.1

What's Changed

This update focuses on refining the stability of our extension ecosystem and optimizing data throughput for remote assets. By implementing lazy sequential iteration for MCAP files and tightening version checks for cached extensions, we've significantly reduced loading overhead. This release also includes critical UI polishing for data visualization and a comprehensive sweep of our CI/CD dependencies.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

Remote Data Loading: Optimized multi-MCAP remote loading by implementing lazy sequential iteration, reducing initial network overhead [#963].

UI Refinement: Updated styles for the field and node editors to improve visual consistency [#978].

Converter Logic: Forced converter re-calls when settings are changed to ensure data processing remains in sync with user configurations [#952].

🛠 Bug Fixes

Extension Security: Added a version check for extensions before loading from cache to prevent compatibility issues [#975].

Extension Catalog: Resolved an issue with the extension catalog refresh logic to ensure available updates are correctly displayed [#980].

State Transitions: Fixed overlapping data lines and labels on the State Transitions panel and adjusted Y-axis calculations for better data clarity [#981].

Code Cleanup: Removed duplicated functions and merged the latest stability fixes from the main branch into the release.

🔒 Security & Maintenance

Vulnerability Management: Fixed specific versioning for dompurify and tar to address security and compatibility concerns [#984].

CI/CD Pipeline: Upgraded several GitHub Actions to maintain a secure build environment, including docker/login-action (v4), docker/build-push-action (v7), and docker/setup-buildx-action (v4) [#977, #982, #983].

Dependency Management: Bumped svgo and performed a group update of npm and yarn dev-dependencies across the repository.

Thank you to all contributors for your continued efforts in improving Lichtblick.
