The latest release of JUNG (Java Universal Network/Graph Framework)--
a free open-source Java library for network representation,
visualization, and analysis--includes many new features and changes,
such as:

* visualization architecture improvements
   - transformations: view and model scaling (zooming), panning,
rotating, shearing, hyperbolic projections, etc.
   - support for visualizing vertices as icons
   - static, chainable, and read/writeable layouts
* improved support for hypergraphs
   - new native implementations
   - increased algorithm compatibility
* new algorithms
   - Burt's structural holes measures
   - triadic census
   - barycenter (sum of shortest-path distances)
* new "pluggable" user data repository architecture
* a number of bug fixes and increases in efficiency

As always, details are in the release notes ( http://
jung.sourceforge.net/doc/ReleaseNotes.html ).

The JUNG website has also been updated, and now includes a guide to
using the JUNG visualization classes ( http://jung.sourceforge.net/
doc/JUNGVisualizationGuide.html ) , as well as several new sample
applets ( http://jung.sourceforge.net/applet/ ).

We hope that you enjoy the new capabilities, and that you'll continue
to let us know what features you'd like to see next.
