Full Changelog: 0.11.4...0.11.5

Added

• Added Graph.Prufer() to construct a graph from a Prüfer sequence.

• Added Graph.Bipartite_Degree_Sequence() to construct a bipartite graph from a bidegree sequence.

Fixed

• Fixed import of graph-tool graphs for vertex properties where each property has a vector value.

• Graph.Adjacency() now accepts Matrix instances and other sequences as an input, it is not limited to lists-of-lists-of-ints any more.

Added

• Added Graph.__invalidate_cache() for debugging and benchmarking purposes.

Changed

• The C core of igraph was updated to version 0.10.8.

Fixed

• Removed incorrectly added loops=... argument of Graph.is_bigraphical().
• Fixed a bug in the Matplotlib graph drawing backend that filled the interior of undirected curved edges.

Added

• python-igraph is now tested in Python 3.12.

• Added weights=... keyword argument to Graph.layout_kamada_kawai().

Changed

• The matplotlib plotting infrastructure underwent major surgery and is now able to show consistent vertex and edge drawings at any level of zoom, including with animations, and for any aspect ratio.
• As a consequence of the restructuring at the previous point, vertex sizes are now specified in figure points and are not affected by axis limits or zoom. With the current conventions, vertex_size=25 is a reasonable size for igraph.plot.
• As another consequence of the above, vertex labels now support offsets from the vertex center, in figure point units.
• As another consequence of the above, self loops are now looking better and their size can be controlled using the edge_loop_size argument in igraph.plot.
• As another consequence of the above, if using the matplotlib backend when plotting a graph, igraph.plot now does not return the Axes anymore. Instead, it returns a container artist called GraphArtist, which contains as children the elements of the graph plot: a VertexCollection for the vertices, and EdgeCollection for the edges, and so on. These objects can be used to modify the plot after the initial rendering, e.g. inside a Jupyter notebook, to fine tune the appearance of the plot. While documentation on specific graphic elements is still scant, more descriptive examples will follow in the future.

Fixed

• Fixed drawing order of vertices in the Plotly backend (#691).

• Fixed plotting of null graphs with the Matplotlib backend.

Removed

• Dropped support for Python 3.7 as it has reached its end of life.

Yes, the version number is correct - igraph 0.10.7 has never made it to PyPI. It is tagged in the repository, but it has never been released officially. The changelog below lists the changes between igraph 0.10.6 and 0.10.8.

Added

• Added is_bigraphical() to test whether a pair of integer sequences can be the degree sequence of some bipartite graph.

• Added weights=... keyword argument to Graph.radius() and Graph.eccentricity().

• Graph.distances(), Graph.get_shortest_path() and Graph.get_shortest_paths() now allow the user to select the algorithm to be used explicitly.

Changed

• The C core of igraph was updated to version 0.10.7.

• Graph.distances() now uses Dijkstra's algorithm when there are zero weights but no negative weights. Earlier versions switched to Bellman-Ford or Johnson in the presence of zero weights unnecessarily.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in EdgeSeq.select(_incident=...) for undirected graphs.

• Fixed a memory leak in Graph.distances() when attempting to use Johnson's algorithm with mode != "out"

Changed

• The C core of igraph was updated to version 0.10.6.

• Graph.Incidence() is now deprecated in favour of Graph.Biadjacency() as it constructs a bipartite graph from a bipartite adjacency matrix. (The previous name was a mistake). Future versions might re-introduce Graph.Incidence() to construct a graph from its incidence matrix.

• Graph.get_incidence() is now deprecated in favour of Graph.get_biadjacency() as it returns the bipartite adjacency matrix of a graph and not its incidence matrix. (The previous name was a mistake). Future versions might re-introduce Graph.get_incidence() to return the incidence matrix of a graph.

• Reverted the change in 0.10.5 that prevented adding vertices with integers as vertex names. Now we show a deprecation warning instead, and the addition of vertices with integer names will be prevented from version 0.11.0 only.

Fixed

• Fixed a minor memory leak in Graph.decompose().

• The default vertex size of the Plotly backend was fixed so the vertices are now visible by default without specifying an explicit size for them.
