Release Notes
-------------

There are a bunch of new features in the library itself, and 
other important changes in the life of the project. Thanks everyone
for sending code and reporting bugs!

### igraph @ github

igraph's development has moved from Launchpad to github. 
This has actually happened several month ago, but never 
announced officially. The place for reporting bugs is 
at https://github.com/igraph/igraph/issues.

### New homepage

igraph's homepage is now hosted at http://igraph.org, and it is 
brand new. We wanted to make it easier to use and modern.

### Better nightly downloads

You can download nightly builds from igraph at 
http://igraph.org/nightly. Source and binary R packages (for windows
and OSX), are all built.

==============
igraph 0.6.5-2
==============

Released May 16, 2013

Worked two CRAN check problems, and a gfortran bug (string bound
checking does not work if code is called from C and without string
length arguments at the "right" place).

Otherwise identical to 0.6.5-1.

==============
igraph 0.6.5-1
==============

Released February 27, 2013

Fixing an annoying bug, that broke two other packages on CRAN:

- Setting graph attributes failed sometimes, if the attributes were 
  lists or other complex objects.

============
igraph 0.6.5
============

Released February 24, 2013

This is a minor release, to fix some very annoying bugs in 0.6.4:

============
igraph 0.6.4
============

Released February 2, 2013

The version number is not a mistake, we jump to 0.6.4 from 0.6, 
for technical reasons. This version was actually never really
released, but some R packages of this version were uplodaded to 
CRAN, so we include this version in this NEW file.

==========
igraph 0.6
==========

Released June 11, 2012

See also the release notes at 
http://igraph.sf.net/relnotes-0.6.html

=====================
R: Major new features
=====================

- Vertices and edges are numbered from 1 instead of 0. 
  Note that this makes most of the old R igraph code incompatible
  with igraph 0.6. If you want to use your old code, please use 
  the igraph0 package. See more at http://igraph.sf.net/relnotes-0.6.html.
- The '[' and '[[' operators can now be used on igraph graphs, 
  for '[' the graph behaves as an adjacency matrix, for '[[' is 
  is treated as an adjacency list. It is also much simpler to
  manipulate the graph structure, i.e. add/remove edges and vertices, 
  with some new operators. See more at ?graph.structure.
- In all functions that take a vector or list of vertices or edges, 
  vertex/edge names can be given instead of the numeric ids.
- New package 'igraphdata', contains a number of data sets that can
  be used directly in igraph.
- Igraph now supports loading graphs from the Nexus online data
  repository, see nexus.get(), nexus.info(), nexus.list() and 
  nexus.search().
- All the community structure finding algorithm return a 'communities'
  object now, which has a bunch of useful operations, see 
  ?communities for details.
- Vertex and edge attributes are handled much better now. They 
  are kept whenever possible, and can be combined via a flexible API.
  See ?attribute.combination.
- R now prints igraph graphs to the screen in a more structured and 
  informative way. The output of summary() was also updated
  accordingly.

=====================
R: Other new features
=====================

- It is possible to mark vertex groups on plots, via
  shading. Communities and cohesive blocks are plotted using this by
  default.
- Some igraph demos are now available, see a list via 
  'demo(package="igraph")'.
- igraph now tries to select the optimal layout algorithm, when
  plotting a graph.
- Added a simple console, using Tcl/Tk. It contains a text area
  for status messages and also a status bar. See igraph.console().
- Reimplemented igraph options support, see igraph.options() and 
  getIgraphOpt().
- Igraph functions can now print status messages.

===========================
R: New or updated functions
===========================

Community detection
-------------------
- The multi-level modularity optimization community structure detection 
  algorithm by Blondel et al. was added, see multilevel.community().
- Distance between two community structures: compare.communities().
- Community structure via exact modularity optimization,
  optimal.community().
- Hierarchical random graphs and community finding, porting the code
  from Aaron Clauset. See hrg.game(), hrg.fit(), etc.
- Added the InfoMAP community finding method, thanks to Emmanuel
  Navarro for the code. See infomap.community().

Shortest paths
--------------
- Eccentricity (eccentricity()), and radius (radius()) calculations.
- Shortest path calculations with get.shortest.paths() can now 
  return the edges along the shortest paths.

  eigenvector centrality. See centralization.scores().
- Personalized Page-Rank scores, see page.rank().
- Subgraph centrality, subgraph.centrality().
- Authority (authority.score()) and hub (hub.score()) scores support 
  edge weights now.
- Support edge weights in betweenness and closeness calculations.
- bonpow(), Bonacich's power centrality and alpha.centrality(), 
  Alpha centrality calculations now use sparse matrices by default.
- Eigenvector centrality calculation, evcent() now works for 
  directed graphs.
- Betweenness calculation can now use arbitrarily large integers,
  this is required for some lattice-like graphs to avoid overflow.

Input/output and file formats
-----------------------------
- Support the DL file format in graph.read(). See 
  http://www.analytictech.com/networks/dataentry.htm.
- Support writing the LEDA file format in write.graph().

Plotting and layouts
--------------------
- Star layout: layout.star().
- Layout based on multidimensional scaling, layout.mds().
- New layouts layout.grid() and layout.grid.3d().
- Sugiyama layout algorithm for layered directed acyclic graphs, 
  layout.sugiyama().

Graph generators
----------------

  now create graphs without loop edges.

Others
------

  functions (graph.isomorphic.vf2(), graph.count.isomorphisms.vf2(), 
  graph.get.isomorphisms.vf2(), graph.subisomorphic.vf2(), 
  graph.count.subisomorphisms.vf2(), graph.get.subisomorphisms.vf2()).
- Assortativity coefficient, assortativity(), assortativity.nominal()
  and assortativity.degree().
- Vertex operators that work by vertex names: 
  graph.intersection.by.name(), graph.union.by.name(), 
  graph.difference.by.name(). Thanks to Magnus Torfason for 
  contributing his code!
- Function to calculate a non-induced subraph: subgraph.edges().
- More comprehensive maximum flow and minimum cut calculation, 
  see functions graph.maxflow(), graph.mincut(), stCuts(), stMincuts().

New in the R interface
----------------------

- A new layout generator called DrL.
- Uniform sampling of random connected undirected graphs with a 
  given degree sequence.

New in the R interface
----------------------

- The 'rescale', 'asp' and 'frame' graphical parameters were added
- Create graphs from a formula notation (graph.formula)
- Handle graph attributes properly
- Calculate the actual minimum cut for undirected graphs
- Adjacency lists, get.adjlist and get.adjedgelist added
- Eigenvector centrality computation is much faster now

- Weighted page rank calculation
- Functions for estimating closeness, betweenness, edge betweenness by 
  introducing a cutoff for path lengths (closeness.estimate,
  betweenness.estimate, edge.betweenness.estimate)

- Betweenness and closeness calculations are speeded up
- read.graph can handle all possible line terminators now (\r, \n, \r\n, \n\r)
- Error handling was rewritten for walktrap community detection,
  the calculation can be interrupted now
- The maxflow/mincut functions allow to supply NULL pointer for edge
  capacities, implying unit capacities for all edges

Bugs corrected in the R interface
---------------------------------

- Fixed a bug in cohesive.blocks, cohesive blocks were sometimes not
  calculated correctly

=========
igraph 0.4.5
=========

Released January 1, 2008

New:
- Cohesive block finding in the R interface, thanks to Peter McMahan
  for contributing his code. See James Moody and Douglas R. White,
  2003, in Structural Cohesion and Embeddedness: A Hierarchical
  Conception of Social Groups American Sociological Review 68(1):1-25 
- Biconnected components and articulation points.
- R interface: better printing of attributes.
- R interface: graph attributes can be used via '$'.

Bug fixed:
- Erdos-Renyi random graph generators rewritten.

=========
igraph 0.4.4
=========

Released October 3, 2007

This release should work seemlessly with the new R 2.6.0 version.
Some other bugs were also fixed:
- A bug was fixed in the Erdos-Renyi graph generator, which sometimes
  added an extra vertex.

=========
igraph 0.4.3
=========

Released August 13, 2007

The next one in the sequence of bugfix releases. Thanks to many people
sending bug reports. Here are the changes:
- Some memory leaks removed when using attributes from R or Python.
- GraphML parser: entities and character data in multiple chunks are
  now handled correctly. 
- A bug corrected in edge betweenness community structure detection,
  it failed if called many times from the same program/session.
- Edge betweeness community structure: handle unconnected graphs properly.
- Fixed bug related to fast greedy community detection in unconnected graphs.
- Use a different kind of parser (Push) for reading GraphML
  files. This is almost invisible for users but fixed a
  nondeterministic bug when reading in GraphML files.
- R interface: plot now handles properly if called with a vector as
  the edge.width argument for directed graphs.
- R interface: bug (typo) corrected for walktrap.community and
  weighted graphs. 

=========
igraph 0.4.2
=========

Released June 7, 2007

This is another bugfix release, as there was a serious bug in the 
R package of the previous version: it could not read and write graphs
to files in any format under MS Windows.

Some other bits added: 
- circular Reingold-Tilford layout generator for trees
- corrected a bug, Pajek files are written properly under MS Windows now.
- arrow.size graphical edge parameter added in the R interface.

=========

=========

Released May 21, 2007

The major new additions in this release is a bunch of community
detection algorithms and support for the GML file format. Here 
is the complete list of changes:

  of colors and fonts, make sure you read ?igraph.plotting
- new plotting parameter for edges: arrow.mode
- a bug corrected when playing a nonlinear barabasi.game
- better looking plotting in 3d using rglplot: edges are 3d too
- rglplot layout is allowed to be two dimensional now

This is a new major release, it contains many new things:

Changes in the R interface
--------------------------

better.

=========
igraph 0.1
=========

Released Jan 30, 2006

After about a year of development this is the first "official" release 
of the igraph library. This release should be considered as beta 
software, but it should be useful in general. Please send your 
questions and comments.
