This release brings massive improvements in performance. Screenshot from our internal benchmarks on a batch of tests, comparing this release vs the last:
As a result of this, TALA by default now executes 3 runs in parallel with different seeds, and picking the best one for you. This should produce better results at a much higher rate!
This release requires D2 0.2.6
Features 🚀
- You can now pass in multiple seeds, and TALA will race multiple layout runs with
different seeds, choosing the best outcome. See the TALA Manual for more.
Improvements 🧹
- Improves subgraph compaction giving space for better edges
- Improved edge routing for clustered nodes
- Significantly speeds up edge routing with many edges
- Significant performance improvements
- Uses up to 56% less memory for layouts with
sql_tables
Bugfixes ⛑️
- Fixes a rare condition that allowed nodes with self loops to escape their containers
- Fixes edge from container going through descendants
- Fixes a bug that could cause some asymmetrical edge routing
- Fixes container shapes sometimes not having enough padding to fit icons
- Fixes the alignment of nodes connected to sequence steps
- Fixes the placement of clustered nodes connected to sequences
Breaking Changes
tala-seedchanged totala-seeds. You can still continue to pass in a single number,
same as before. But the name change is reflective that it can now take in multiple
seeds.
