- Fixed a bug in the collapse functionality of 
get_edges() (#362) 
- General upkeep and compatibility with ggplot2 v4.0.0
 
 
    
- Rolling back use of native pipe (#364 and #365)
 
 
    
- Fix a precision bug in circle pack layout (#345)
 
- 
GeomEdgeTile now uses edge_width instead of edge_size for the border 
- Fix a bug in 
geom_edge_parallel() when used with edge labels. Edges are now correctly offset, though label may still overlap (#227) 
- Fix a bug with auto layout on undirected trees (#247)
 
- Fix a bug in 
get_con() that would lead to wrong matching of additional data (#249) 
- Allow 
na.rm in geoms (#301) 
- If 
check_overlap = TRUE in geom_node_text() the rendering order is reversed so that the top nodes are rendered, not the bottom ones 
- Updated guides to the new ggplot2 interface. For 
guide_edge_direction(), this update adds the option to use labels instead of an arrow using the labels argument. 
- 
create_layout() now returns a modified tibble rather than a data.frame 
- The 
... in get_nodes(), get_edges(), and get_con() now accepts tidy evaluation. get_nodes() and get_con() will get evaluated on the node data in the original order (layouts may reorder nodes), and get_edges() will get evaluated on the edge data (#272) 
- The linear layout has gained a 
weight argument allowing you to set how much space each node occupy. Further, the layout now calculates statistics so that it can be used in conjunction with geom_node_tile() and geom_node_arc_bar()
 
- New layout added. Cactustree is a hierarchical layout optimised for hierarchical edge bundling by placing nodes as budding circles on the periphery of their parent (#226)

native now works as expected again (#254) 
- Fix a bug in 
get_con() that would require input to be sorted in the from vector (#258) 
 
    
    
- Remove reshape2 dependency
 
 
    
- Fix bug in ggraph that will surface with the next grid release
 
- Deprecate 
qgraph() in favour of autograph() to avoid name collision with qgraph::qgraph(). autograph() is now also a generic with a default method, so you can provide your own specific ggraph plot method for your network classes 
 
    
This release is a major release including many new features, bug fixes and some breaking changes.
Breaking changes
- 
Use tidygraph as the central data format. The results of this are several:
- All graph object supported by tidygraph are now supported on even footing in ggraph. All layouts are now available to any graph class
 
- 
BREAKING The 
"even" layout for dendrograms are no more, but can be obtained by using the "dendrogram" layout with height = NULL
 
- 
BREAKING All layouts uses NSE for arguments that refer to node and edge variables, instead of passing in strings that refer to the variable name.
 
- All examples and vignettes now uses tidygraph for graph manipulation resulting in much cleaner code.
 
- 
tree_apply has been removed in favour of using tidygraph::map_bfs_*
 
- 
geom_edge_elbow is no longer only available to dendrogram objects 
- tidygraph algorithms can now be used directly within ggraph functions. E.g. you can have 
sort.by = node_rank_hclust() in your specification of a linear layout, or aes(colour = group_infomap()) in node geoms 
This big change fixes #21, #72, #79, and #81. A vignette has been added to describe the integration in more detail
 
The curvature argument from geom_edge_arc() and geom_edge_hive() as well as the spread argument from geom_edge_fan() has been deprecated in favor of the new strength argument.
 
ggraph plots now gets constructed with grid and axes removed from the default theme.
 
 
New features
- Add equal-angle and equal-daylight unrooted tree layouts (#59)
 
- Interface with the graphlayouts package and make all its layouts available. The auto layout now uses the stress layout for standard graphs (sparse stress) for larger graphs.
 
- Added length argument to the dendrogram layout to allow the layout to be based on edge length rather than node heights (#124).
 
- Added 
geom_edge_parallel() for drawing multiedges as parallel lines (#191) 
- Added fabric layout to create biofabric plots. Also added 
geom_node_range() and geom_edge_span() for visualising such layouts (#47) 
- Added 
geom_edge_bend() for drawing soft elbows (#45) 
- Added 
geom_node_voronoi() for displaying nodes as voronoi tiles (#100) 
- Added 
qgraph() for quickly creating a standard network plot for explorative purpose (#94) 
- All non-straight line-based edge geoms now has a 
strength parameter that controls their deviation from a straight line. 0 will always give a straight line while 1 will be their natural look. Numbers outside this range may look weird (#97) 
- Added 
weight and mode arguments to get_con() that are passed on to the shortest path calculations (#89). 
- Add matrix layout and 
geom_edge_point() (#23) 
- Added 
geom_edge_tile() for use with matrix layouts (#141) 
- Manual layouts are now easier to specify. You can pass a matrix or data.frame to the layout parameter that will then be used. Also, if an 
x and y argument is present, the auto layout will choose the manual layout. (#91) 
- Custom layout functions are now much more flexible. And can either return a 
data.frame or an object coercible to a tbl_graph. In the latter case the node table will be used as layout and the graph will be attached. This allows direct use of the particles package as a layout engine as a side effect. (#88) 
 
Bug fixes

- Character aesthetics are no longer cast to factors in edge geoms (#131)
 
- Fix a bug where start capping was ignored if the previous edge had been completely removed by capping (#150)
 
- Fix offsetting bug in edge label drawing when some labels are empty strings and 
label_parse = TRUE (#159) 
- Fixed a bug resulting in the wrong mapping of additional values to connections (#122, #134)
 
- Fixed a bug when using 
facet_graph() with data from both tbl_df and data.frame 
- Added 
override.aes to guide_edge_direction()
 
- Fix bug with extracting edges from an empty graph (#76)
 
- Fixed bug causing shifts in edge aesthetics when one or more edges were completely clipped (#62, #115)
 
- Fixed bug when clipping completely orthogonal points that produced additional lines going to (0,0) (#70, #84, #103)
