Licensing

yExport license terms have been updated to match the current yFiles for Java graph visualization library license terms.

Bugfixes

Bugfixes

• Fixed value of Class-Path attribute in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of yexport.jar.

yExport 1.1 - Changes Since 1.0

Minor Features Added

• EPSOutputHandler: replaced boolean property fontEmbeddingEnabled with enum property textRenderingPolicy to support regular text, text with embedded fonts, and vectorized text.
• PDFOutputHandler: replaced boolean property fontEmbeddingEnabled with enum property textRenderingPolicy to support regular text, text with embedded fonts, and vectorized text.
• SWFOutputHandler: added getter/setter for SWF version. Currently, SWF file format versions 7 and 8 are supported.
  Note: The main difference between versions 7 and 8 is the security policy applied to embedded links. Version 8 of the SWF file format allows embedded links to either local or external/network resources, but not both.
• SWFOutputHandler: added support for hyperlinks.
  Note: Currently, only local links are supported for SWF version 8 files, i.e. embedded external (or network) links are blocked by Flash player implementations.

Incompatible API Changes

• OutputHandler: removed obsolete constants
  • KEY_TEXT_RENDERING,
  • VALUE_TEXT_RENDER_DEFAULT,
  • VALUE_TEXT_RENDER_DEFAULT,
  • VALUE_TEXT_RENDER_QUALITY, and
  • VALUE_TEXT_RENDER_SPEED
• EPSOutputHandler: replaced boolean property fontEmbeddingEnabled with byte property textRenderingPolicy.
• PDFOutputHandler: replaced boolean property fontEmbeddingEnabled with byte property textRenderingPolicy.
