Visual Layer v2.5.0 - August 10, 2025

This release introduces a new dark mode theme, significant performance improvements for data tables, and key bug fixes.

​
New Features

  • VIS-101: Dark Mode
    • A new system-wide dark mode theme is now available. This theme can be enabled in user settings to reduce eye strain and improve visual ergonomics in low-light conditions. The theme applies to all UI components, including the main interface, modals, and data tables.

​
Improvements

  • VIS-102: Table Rendering Performance
    • The primary data table component has been refactored to use virtualization. This change significantly improves UI performance when rendering large datasets, with tables containing over 10,000 rows now loading up to 50% faster.
  • VIS-105: API Key Generation Workflow
    • A “Copy to Clipboard” button has been added to the API key generation modal. This facilitates a more efficient and error-resistant workflow by eliminating the need for manual text selection and copying.

​
Fixes

  • VIS-103: Unresponsive Login Button in Safari
    • Resolved a CSS rendering issue where the login button was unresponsive in Safari browsers. The fix corrects the z-index stacking order, ensuring the button is always accessible.

We are excited to present the latest release of Visual Layer. This update introduces powerful new ways to search, explore, and manage visual datasets while streamlining the UI for speed and clarity.

​
New Features & Enhancements

We’ve overhauled the filtering experience for intuitive navigation, custom quality thresholds, and advanced query logic, making it easier to zoom in on what matters or explore freely at scale.

​
Improved UI Navigation

Filter menu organization and iconography have been updated including a unified slice & dice experience and clearer visual cues for advanced logic combinations.

​
Optimized Filter Logic

Visual Layer now provides logical query operators.We’ve refined the right panel to remove outdated filter controls. Now, you can build filters and review or edit. All applied filters are currently combined using AND logic. Slice and dice your dataset more precisely and seamlessly combine visual and metadata filters for high-volume review.Set flexible conditions per filter type, including:
  • IS, and IS ONE OF
  • IS NOT: Explicitly exclude values and easily remove irrelevant items from your analysis
  • CONTAINS and free-text search that dynamically adapts to your dataset and the current view context

​
Streamlined Insights

All your dataset insights are now accessible in one place through the redesigned right panel. Easily navigate between statistics, enrichment models, and quality issues without visual clutter. You can also toggle between # (absolute values) and % (relative values) to view data in the format that matters most to you.

​
Class Outlier Detection

Class outliers are a new issue type that help you detect subtle, high-impact inconsistencies in labeled datasets.Unlike mislabels and general outliers, class outliers highlight images that don’t fit the expected structure or semantics of a specific dataset. Class outliers often reflect edge cases, data drift, or content mismatches that can compromise model performance if left unreviewed.You can now:
  • View class outlier stats in the right panel
  • Adjust detection thresholds for both general and class-level outliers WIP
  • Filter by outliers or class outliers directly from the main filter menu

​
Better Documentation to Support You

We’ve upgraded our documentation to make it faster, clearer, and easier to navigate.You’ll notice:
  • Cleaner layouts that help you focus on what matters
  • Collapsible guides and tabs for scanning complex topics
  • Inline tips and examples to guide you through advanced use cases
  • Mobile-friendly design for quick answers on the go

​
Fixed Issues

We’ve cleaned up some bugs and made improvements to enhance your experience, including improved search results, fixes to filters and other similar issues.
