Highlights of recent SciQLop releases. Full details in the changelog and GitHub releases.

v0.12 — May–August 2026: the analysis release

  • Parameterized virtual products (knobs) — keyword arguments on your callback become interactive sliders, spinboxes, draggable threshold lines and time-range spans in the plot inspector.
  • Annotation layers — Python functions returning markers, spans or horizontal lines, rendered as overlays on your plots; register them with @register_layer, the vp cell magic** — define virtual products from a notebook cell with typed annotations and hot reload.
  • Fluent plot API, Speasy plot() backend, settings system, dark mode and theming.

Coming in v0.13

  • AI assistant — an agent chat dock with pluggable backends (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Albert) that can plot products, fetch and describe data, run notebook cells and inspect your workspace.
  • Smart product search — hybrid full-text + semantic ranking in the sidebar and the empty-panel search overlay.
  • Guided tours — in-app onboarding for first-time users.
  • Background jobs (%job magic), Windows per-user install without admin rights, HTTP proxy support.
