0.8.0

Details

This is mainly a bugfix release. See GitHub for the full list of resolved issues.

#672, #674, #675, #677: Build systems is simplified.
#690, #691: Improved documentation of position and layer choice constrains.
#695, #698: Support node micro layout with further layout algorithms.
#688, #711: Better documentation for content alignment.
#722: Migrated to new build server.
#717: Model order: Property to weight model order node or port violations against edge crossings during crossing minimization. This also renames considerModelOrder to considerModelOrder.strategy.
#759: Model order: Added cycle breaker that enforces model order (but not against layerConstraints).
#815: Model order: Added option to enforce node order that existed before crossing minimization. This is to be used together with considerModelOrder.strategy :NODES_AND_EDGES
#816: Model order: Added property for nodes to signal that these should not get a model order and should be handled as dummy nodes.
#676, #789: ServiceLoader can now be used with different class loaders.
#795: Added a crossing minimizer that does nothing instead of crossing minimization. This is to be used together to enforce the model order.
#804: Added fixed graph size support for the layered algorithm.
#780, #802: Added option to generate position and layer ids.
#335, #803: Added spacing documentation overview page to the website.
#819, #822, #823: Added option to order components with external ports not by their port connections but truly by model order.

#717: Renamed considerModelOrder to considerModelOrder.strategy.
#697: Changed default node label stacking direction for UNDEFINED direction from horizontal to vertical.
#757, #761, #720, #730: Bump guava version and remove upper bound.
#774: Update Eclipse download URL from http://build.eclipse.org/modeling/elk/updates to https://download.eclipse.org/elk/updates.
#651, #790: Report invalid hierarchical crossing minimization instead of fixing it.
#791, #714: Hierarchical edge orientation now uses the same in/out degree mechanism as the non-hierarchical layered algorithm.
#766, #801, Hierarchical port dummies are considered to take no size, same as other port dummies.
#788: Individual spacings for vertical and horizontal label port spacing. spacing.portLabel is split into spacing.labelPortHorizontal and spacing.labelPortVertical.
#817, #818: Separate connected components are no longer implicitly ordered my minimal model order of the component if a model order strategy is set but require a separate option.

#679: Prevent repeated registration of layout options during PlainJavaInitialization.

#706: Workaround for broken eclipse.urischeme dependency. Should be removed in next release once Eclipse dependencies are updated.
#718, #721, #727, #728: Various fixes for the website.
#684, #729: Adjusted melk file to show that a padding has to be applied to nodes.
#756: Model order is also set for hierarchical graphs.
#781, #782: Clone mutable values instead of potentially sharing the same instance over multiple elements.
#784: Backward edges are correctly handled for considerModelOrder.
#775, #776: Improved edge containment for JSON graphs.
#744, #793: Radial layout now correctly calculates the radii im one radius is changed since nodes should not overlap.
#754, #792: Dummy ports in hierarchical layered graphs get a default position of 0,0 to prevent an NPE.
#796: Graphviz no longer calls eclipse.ui if no platform is running.
