This 0.9.0 release has the most contributors (30+) since napari 0.5.0 and all in barely a month since 0.8.0! 🤩 We are so grateful for our wonderful community of contributors and users, especially those that we met at SciPy, EuroPython, EuroSciPy, their sprints, and our own naPLari Hackathon. 👏

Speaking of annotation: if you've switched back and forth between annotating in 2D and checking your work in 3D, you know it can be disorienting! You can now sync the 2D and 3D cameras so that panning, zooming, and scrubbing around in 2D affects 3D view, and vice versa. Let us know if it helps you!

napari @napari.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 12/07/2026

Annotating blobs just got easier with auto-fill of labels when right-clicking! Right click, draw your shape, and the whole shape gets auto-filled. This should give much faster annotations for many workflows!

*Finally*, napari gets a built-in histogram! It's still a work in progress but already *very* cool if we do say so ourselves, with live update based on the canvas and progressive, background update when computing on large full data.

This marks a huge milestone towards long-term sustainability for napari and its plugin ecosystem — and we’re just getting started. Over the next few months we'll be updating the visual design, adding more searching and filtering options, re-enabling Zulip updates, and so much more!

napari @napari.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 23/07/2025

The plugin listing is updated four times a day, so you shouldn't have to wait long to see your new plugin🧩 . And (it goes without saying), it's open-source! If you notice any errors with your plugin's information, please open an issue on the GitHub repo (github.com/napari/hub-lite).

napari @napari.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 23/07/2025

The hub is now deployed statically via gh-pages, using data stored and served via npe2api🧑‍💻 🌐 . Not only is this a simpler and more lightweight implementation to maintain, but it's significantly faster too🔥!

napari @napari.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy · 23/07/2025

We’ve taken over development and maintenance, using the visual design of the original -- thank you to the CZI team for building and maintaining the hub over the last four years, and to Yunha Lee for creating the prototype of the new site.
