Social Networks Visualizer
Social Networks Visualizer (SocNetV) is a flexible and user-friendly tool for the analysis and visualization of Social Networks. It lets you construct mathematical graphs with a few clicks on a virtual canvas, load networks of various formats (GraphViz, GraphML, Adjacency, Pajek, UCINET, etc), or create a network by crawling all links in a Web page. The application can compute basic network properties, such as density, diameter, and distances (shortest path lengths), as well as more advanced structural statistics, such as node and network centralities (i.e. closeness, betweenness, graph), clustering coefficient, etc.

Changes: This is the first Web crawler implementation. Use Shift+C to test it. It oesn't support frames yet. Multiple nodes can be selected with the mouse. Press and hold the left mouse button somewhere on the canvas, then move the mouse to test it. Bug #379204, which was crashing SocNetV when creating small worlds above 201 nodes, has been fixed. Bug #381096 (crashing SocNetV in Edge Filtering when an edge was reciprocal) has been fixed. Bug #381094 (weight changes not recorded correctly in symmetric edges) has been fixed. Random Layout is back. Speed improvements in the FindNode method.

Changes: GraphML is now the native load/save format (partial support for yFiles). New filter edges by their weights functionality. The background can be a custom image (via menu View > Background Image). A new rounded rectangle shape for nodes. Nodenumbers can be displayed inside nodes again. Sorry, labels are too difficult to show inside nodes. There is a fresh application icon set in shades of gold and gray. There is a new version naming scheme: main versions are 0.x, and bugfixes are 0.x.y. Project admin, code, bug tracking, etc. have moved to Launchpad/Bazaar. Report bugs to Launchpad.

Changes: This release fixes a serious and long-standing bug in the DistanceMatrix Breadth-First Search method, affecting centralities and layout. It officially adds DL (Data Language) file format support. This is UCINET's FULMATRIX mode.

Changes: 'Small World' random network creation (Watts and Strogatz model). Clustering Coefficient calculation. Average Graph Distance (shortest path length) calculation. Nodes can be linked to themselves with nice Bezier curves. Negative and decimal edge weights are now fully supported. Dashed lines are nicely used to signify negative edge weights. You can export the current network to PDF with one click. Number and label colors are editable. A number and label font size problem, PNG and BMP export regression, and a printing regression are fixed. There is a new program logo and icon.

Changes: A redesigned GUI with tabs. Weight numbers can be displayed over links. DL network format initial support. GraphML loading. Floating point edge weights are now supported. The correct new node number is shown instead of %i. Zoom while rotate works. BFS no longer crashes. SocNetV is more reliable. The shortcut of OutDegree has been changed to Ctrl+1.
