- Added optional support for the unified 2027 coordinate system (disabled by default)
- This new coordinate system uses a center-field origin facing away from the red alliance, and is consistent across FRC and FTC. The default coordinate system remains unchanged to ease the transition when porting existing FRC code, but this can be changed in the preferences menu.

- Fixed handling of default values and empty arrays in Protobuf messages
Most users should use the "NetworkTables" or "NetworkTables (AdvantageKit)" live modes to connect directly to robot code, where these features are supported. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
There is currently no 2027 alpha release for URCL. We will have more details to share about logging options in 2027 and beyond at a later date.
Fixed by v27.0.0-alpha-5
Systemcore and the 2027 alpha of WPILib use a new format for joystick POV values that is not currently compatible with AdvantageScope, causing the joystick visualization to display inaccurate data. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
Fixed by v27.0.0-alpha-5
The menu bar in AdvantageScope Lite displays keyboard shortcut information, but these shortcuts may function inconsistently depending on the OS and browser. This issue is being investigated and will be fixed in a future release (see Mechanical-Advantage/AdvantageScope#390).
Fixed by v27.0.0-alpha-2
By default, log files from Systemcore currently use epoch timestamps that are not properly handled by AdvantageScope. This causes the timeline to be very zoomed out when opening log files, so significant zooming is required to access data. There are also various visual artifacts throughout the UI. This issue will be fixed in future releases of AdvantageScope and WPILib (see wpilibsuite/allwpilib#8041).
