Layout
  • Improved support for multi-threaded applications
  • Reduced number of edge crossings for inter-drawing edges when laying out nested drawings
  • Refined options for minimum and maximum number of clusters for disconnected drawings with more than one component in the circular layout style
  • Enhanced incremental hierarchical layout style results
  • Reduced number of edge crossings in the hierarchical layout style
  • Reduced local edge crossings in the orthogonal layout style
  • Improved node placement when fixed connectors are present in both symmetric and orthogonal layout styles
  • Enhanced multiedge routing in both symmetric and circular layout styles
  • Increased labeling quality
Documentation
  • Enhanced Developer's Guide
