This new version marks a major step and brings an extensively improved and streamlined API. Throughout the API there are more concise function names now and optional, default, and rest parameters can be used; there is support for "option"/object parameters in many places. ECMAScript 6 features like Promises and iterables are supported and also ECMAScript 6 and TypeScript class declarations.
The class and interface hierarchies have been simplified as well as the implementations for components, built-in styles, and input modes; working with nested/grouped graphs and configuration of layout algorithms has also been simplified.

yWorks makes available the first version of yEd Live, the browser version of the powerful yEd desktop graph and diagram editor application.

This version features new import support for the GraphML variants of our commercial yFiles diagramming libraries and new options in the Hierarchical layout algorithm to handle edges and edge labels.

The new version introduces improved support in the Hierarchic layout algorithm to maintain a user's mental map when collapsing and expanding group nodes in a diagram.

yWorks releases yFiles for Java 3.0, the next-generation yFiles diagramming library for the Java Swing GUI toolkit.

New in this version is support for a new edge routing style in the Circular and Radial layout algorithm as well as Balloon and all Directed Tree layout algorithms where edge paths are bundled to prevent visual clutter.

The new version (Java Server Bundle and Client Layout Extension) brings a new layout algorithm for radial layout that places nodes in a concentrical fashion, and the new series-parallel layout algorithm that is designed to handle two-terminal graphs.
The Balloon style tree layout algorithm brings new placement options and new integrated node labeling support. The tree layout algorithm provides new multi-parent support to handle local non-tree structures, and the hierarchical layout style brings new grid placement support for nodes and edges.
Also new is functionality to abort lengthy calculations of automatic layout algorithms.

This version is based on Dojo 1.10.4 and uses yFiles for Java 2.12, which adds new automatic layout algorithms on the server: a new layout algorithm for radial layout that places nodes in a concentrical fashion, and the new series-parallel layout algorithm that is designed to handle two-terminal graphs.
The Balloon style tree layout algorithm brings new placement options and new integrated node labeling support. The tree layout algorithm provides new multi-parent support to handle local non-tree structures, and the hierarchical layout style brings new grid placement support for nodes and edges.
Also new is functionality to abort lengthy calculations of automatic layout algorithms.

The new version brings improved browser event propagation behavior and enhanced customization support thereof, and many improvements to make editing diagrams even easier: new duplicate action, enhanced copy/paste behavior, enhanced label snapping and label editing support.
The yFiles modules's file format now follows the Universal Module Definition (UMD) pattern to easily enable a variety of different script loading schemes.

The new version supports yFiles for Java 2.12, it uses an updated FreeHEP library and generates PDF documents with reduced file sizes.
