# v0.0.80rc1 - Workspace Multi-Path & Provider Pattern

This release candidate introduces a powerful new **Workspace** system for multi-path file serving, new **Provider** patterns for high-performance instanced rendering, and new visualization components.

<a id="new-features" />

## New Features

### Multi-Path Workspace System

The `workspace` parameter now accepts multiple paths and supports programmatic file serving:

```python
from vuer import Vuer, Workspace

# Single path (unchanged)
vuer = Vuer(workspace="./data")

# Multiple paths - files resolved in order
vuer = Vuer(workspace=["./local_data", "./shared_assets", "/mnt/datasets"])

# Workspace object with mounts
workspace = Workspace(["./data"])
workspace.mount("/api/config", lambda req: {"status": "ok"})
vuer = Vuer(workspace=workspace)
```

**Key Changes:**

- `static_root` is deprecated → use `workspace`
- `/static` endpoint renamed → `/workspace`
- `vuer.static_prefix` → `vuer.workspace_prefix`
- `vuer.localhost_prefix` now points to `/workspace`

### New Blob Class for In-Memory Data

```python
from vuer import Blob

# Serve in-memory data with explicit content-type
blob = Blob(data=my_bytes, content_type="image/png")
```

### DepthPointCloud Component

Generate point clouds directly from depth images with colormap support:

```python
from vuer.schemas import DepthPointCloud

sess.upsert @ DepthPointCloud(
    key="depth-pc",
    depth=vuer.localhost_prefix / "depth.png",
    cmap="viridis",      # turbo, viridis, inferno, jet
    colorMode="worldY",  # depth, camZ, camDist, localY, worldY
    fov=58,              # RealSense D435 default
)
```

### DepthPointCloudProvider for High Performance

Render thousands of depth point clouds at 120fps with frustum culling and LoD:

```python
from vuer.schemas import DepthPointCloud, DepthPointCloudProvider

sess.upsert @ DepthPointCloudProvider(
    DepthPointCloud(key="pc-0", depth="depth_0.png", position=[0, 0, 0]),
    DepthPointCloud(key="pc-1", depth="depth_1.png", position=[2, 0, 0]),
    key="provider",
    frustumCulling=True,
)
```

### BoundingBox Component

Render 3D bounding boxes with customizable edges and walls:

```python
from vuer.schemas import BoundingBox

sess.upsert @ BoundingBox(
    key="bbox",
    color="red",
    size=[2, 1, 3],
    edgeOpacity=0.9,
    wallOpacity=0.08,
)
```

### BoundingBoxProvider for Instanced Rendering

Render tens of thousands of bounding boxes efficiently:

```python
from vuer.schemas import BoundingBox, BoundingBoxProvider

sess.upsert @ BoundingBoxProvider(
    key="provider",
    maxInstances=10000,
    children=[
        BoundingBox(key=f"box-{i}", color="green", position=[i*2, 0, 0])
        for i in range(1000)
    ]
)
```
