# napari 0.4.12

We're happy to announce the release of napari 0.4.12!
napari is a fast, interactive, multi-dimensional image viewer for Python.
It's designed for browsing, annotating, and analyzing large multi-dimensional
images. It's built on top of Qt (for the GUI), vispy (for performant GPU-based
rendering), and the scientific Python stack (numpy, scipy).


For more information, examples, and documentation, please visit our website:

## Highlights

This is a bug fix release with many minor improvements and bug fixes. The user
