 # Rerun changelog
 
-## Unreleased
+## [0.25.0](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/compare/0.24.1...0.25.0) - 2025-09-16 - Syntax highlighting, table filtering, transparent objects
 
-#### Deprecations
+-   📖 [Release blogpost](https://rerun.io/blog/release-0.25)
+-   🧳 [Migration guide](https://rerun.io/docs/reference/migration/migration-0-25)
 
-- Python 3.9 has been deprecated and will be removed in 0.26.
+### ✨ Overview & highlights
+
+#### Syntax highlighting
+
+Our data frames and selection panel now feature prettier colors based on data types.
+
+![syntax highlight](https://static.rerun.io/syntax_highlight/8ee40cdb412715ca485fcec277d9d086d40177ef/full.png)
+
+#### Table filtering
+
+We are busy working on a powerful filtering feature for our arrow dataframe widget used for tables (sent with `ViewerClient.send_table()`) as well as the Rerun server browser (entry list, partition list, and remote tables). This release introduces support for filtering boolean, integer, floating point, and string columns, with more coming in future releases. (Note that the text log views and dataframe views are using a different widget which does not support filtering.)

+
+#### Transparent objects
+
+We finally support transparency for meshes & various shapes (boxes, ellipsoids, etc.)!
+
+https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5a78cf2c-1e11-4f5f-a8a4-4e5d503f4cd9
+
+Source of transparency ("alpha") is a bit limited for now:
+* color component on all of `Boxes3D`, `Ellipsoids3D`, `Capsules3D` & `Cylinders3D`
+* `Mesh3D`'s albedo factor
+* `Asset3D` albedo color (depends on the underlying model format)
+
+Naturally, there's still a lot of places missing where we'd like to add transparency support!
+
+#### Experimental MCAP support
+
+Rerun has experimental, partial support for importing data from MCAP files. We support a subset of ROS2/CDR and Protocol Buffers messages. Development is ongoing, feel free to share your use cases!
+
+### ⚠️ Breaking changes
+
+We removed the `--serve`, `--drop-at-latency` and `-o` CLI arguments, deprecated Python 3.9 and changed `archetype` specification in `AnyValues`.
+
+See the
+🧳 [Migration guide](https://rerun.io/docs/reference/migration/migration-0-25) for more details.
