The latest version of Gephi has been released today, download it for Windows, Mac OS and Linux platforms. Focus has again been made on stability with more than 80 bug fixes, and performance improvements. Thanks to users who reported bugs, that always makes the difference.
The team will now focus on the Google Summer of Code. Have a look at the exciting projects developed this summer. We are also willing to help as much as possible plug-ins developers to get things done and improve documentation.
Because it’s a major release, changes are not deployed through the AutoUpdate, you need to download and install the new version. Plug-ins also need to be checked for compatibility. They will reappear on the Plugin Center in the coming days, as they are verified.
Consult the release notes and the new Javadoc for more information.
