Gephi's new version comes with a few long-awaited new features (and a complete rebuilt of the core):
Gephi 0.9 released today!
We're proud to announce the release of the next major version of Gephi! This 0.9.0 version has been more than three years in the making but today brings an exciting new life to this project, and the graph/network analytics community at large. You can download it here for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Gephi is the leading graph visualization software - known as the "Photoshop for networks" and is open-source and free. It has been downloaded more than a million times and is used by many scholars and data scientists around the world. This new release brings new features in the area of dynamic networks (i.e. network over time) and major compatibility and performance improvements.
Since the last release in 2013, users were facing compatibility issues with Java, which have been resolved with this release. Development had slow down three years ago but had never stopped. In fact, in March 2013 the time had come to think about what Gephi 1.0 would look like and realize it needed a new core. This was by far the most complex project the team had to overcome but developers had a long-term vision and know that future developments will now rely on a robust and extensible core, with world-class performances.
The world is increasingly complex and interconnected. Gephi's purpose is to unfold this complex relational data in a way anyone can understand them. It allows you to visualize graph data as a map and create the visualizations to support your narratives. State-of-the-art algorithms make readable layouts, highlighting communities or influential nodes. Visual tools tweak colors and shapes to reveal hidden patterns in the data, helping solving complex problems. More and more network-maps are pictured in online, offline press and other communication media. They spread from science to business, art and activism. People are increasingly exposed to them and learn how to read them. Gephi aims to accelerate this commoditization process by providing free and easy-to-use tools.
What's new in Gephi 0.9?
The list is too long! The complete changelog for this version can be found on GitHub's release page.
Next steps
There are a few immediate next steps coming up right after this release. Following-up on the recent plugin development announcement we'll get in touch with plugin developers and start migrating plugins to this version. There's more than 80 plugins to update!
Then, we'll identify and resolve new issues that appeared with this version. A future Gephi 0.9.1 release will come next year to address those.
A Gephi Toolkit release will also be made very soon so developers can update their application built on top of Gephi's modules. In the meantime, we're interested in users' feedback and want to hear from you on Twitter or Facebook. Issues can directly be reported on GitHub as well, where the developers are.
Finally, thanks to all contributors and the community for supporting this project!
