Release 9.0.0 Date December 15, 2008 Status   General Overview This release includes drawing fitting options that enable the drawing to more efficiently use the target drawing area. New node grouping constraints keep specified drawing elements together during a layout operation. Further, this release contains many additional layout, labeling, and routing refinements. New Layout Drawing Fitting optimizes use of the target drawing area Open and closed group constraints Documentation Additional tutorials Reference page of available resources Improvements Layout 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 Requirements Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2008 Dropped support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Issues None Release 8.0.0 Date May 1, 2007 Status   General Overview This release significantly improves overall product performance and introduces a new software licensing system. New System Software licensing server and administration client Improvements Layout Reduced edge crossings in the circular layout style Enhanced polyline routing in the hierarchical layout style Improved orthogonal routing performance in the hierarchical layout style Refined edge routing with connectors in the orthogonal layout style Improved performance in the orthogonal layout style Improved performance with large graphs in the symmetric layout style Reorganized constraints Enabled constraint sharing among different layout styles Improved routing performance Requirements Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 Added support for Microsoft Windows Vista Fixes None Issues None Release 7.0.0 Date June 28, 2005 Status   General Overview This release features enhanced circular and symmetric layout styles and several other layout style improvements. New Layout Option for placing labels over edges Improvements Layout Circular Layout Style Enhanced clustering Enhanced incremental layout Added flexible spacing control Hierarchical Layout Style Enhanced connector layout Integrated labeling during layout with orthogonal routing Orthogonal Layout Style Enhanced constraint-based layout Integrated labeling during orthogonal layout Improved drawing resolution Enhanced incremental layout Improved connector labeling Requirements No changes Fixes None Issues No changes
