Did I miss that Graphviz was released in a version 3? Can I just say “wow”? You guys put in so much effort in re-vitalising Graphviz! I think this would have been worth a proper announcement!

Well done!

Thank you!

Haha. Big thanks to Matthew and Magnus for pushing this through.

Version 3 isn’t really a fanfare release with heaps of new features, it’s just a few breaking API changes 🙂 but it does feel good to be on a regular release train.

It’s about the development system that is healthy again. Being in a good shape is so much more relevant than a single fancy feature. Those will come if the system is functioning.

Celebration!
