After much prodding and poking by end-users for the past few months, I'm finally able to announce a GHC-7.6.1 compatible release of my Haskell bindings to the Graphviz graph visualisation toolkit: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/graphviz-2999.15.0.0 (It took me so long to release a version that allowed bytestring-0.10.* as I was waiting for upstream to get back to me about an inconsistency I found; in the end I decided to just try and cope with how it seems to work.) The list of changes since the last release are: * The repository is now hosted at http://hub.darcs.net/ivanm/graphviz, and using the bug-tracker there. * Updates to various `Attribute` definitions: - The list of available shapes has been expanded to take into account the new synthetic biology shapes. - The `Size` and `FontNames` attributes now have specified data types. - The optional start and end points for `Spline`s were previously the wrong way round; this has now been fixed. - Explicitly only print 2-dimensional `Point` values for `Rect` and `DPoint` (previously only 2-dimensional values where parsed, but it was possible to print a 3-dimensional value). - HTML-like labels previously disallowed empty textual label components when parsing; spotted by Daniel Hummel. * `GraphvizParams` now lets you specify whether a "cluster" is actually a cluster or a sub-graph. Requested by Gabor Greif. * Fixed an error where printing edges whose attributes contained a `ColorScheme` attribute, that attribute would stay in the state and the old color scheme would override the _parent's_ state. * Previously, some malformed attributes were accepted when being parsed as they silently became parsed as an `UnknownAttribute`. Now, attributes where the attribute name and the equal sign are successfully parsed **but** the value of the attribute is _not_ successfully parse will throw an unrecoverable error. **Note**: this does mean that some Dot graphs that are accepted by Graphviz (as they separate tokenizing from parsing; as such something like `"0.1"` is successfully accepted as an integer, specifically `0`) are no longer accepted when parsing them in. * Miscellaneous parsing improvements: - Whilst not specified anywhere, Graphviz seems to treat empty quotes as values for attributes expecting a number as their default; as such, this is now taken into account when parsing. - `DPoint` values can now parse an optional `+` prefix. - Whitespaces after commas in HSV colors are now accepted. * Error messages from parsing are improved to help you track down where the parsing error occurred (in that it's easier to find which attribute failed to parse, etc.). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
