Tom Sawyer Perspectives, Java Edition

Release 8.2.2

DateNovember 15, 2018
StatusGeneral

Overview

This release features added data integration support for JanusGraph and Stardog, as well as continued improvements to product quality and performance, with improved support for large graphs. In Graph and Data Visualization, the XML integrator updates data up to three times faster and commits data up to 100 times faster for large graphs. In web applications, rendering performance is up to twice as fast for large graphs, hit-testing is twice as fast, and the deletion speed of model elements is greatly improved for large models. It is now possible to resize columns within a table view in web applications. Additionally, there is improved labeling in symmetric layout.
