Tom Sawyer Perspectives, Java Edition

Release 13.1.0

Overview

This release features usability and performance improvements for the Modern React-based web client framework for table, tree, and inspector views, toolbars, dialogs, context menus, as well as the Web Previewer. Improved documentation for web components and REST endpoints APIs and exposed REST services in Swagger User Interfaces make it easier to access server side components and commands during development. The Load Neighbors feature supports the ability to ungroup selected nodes in order to return more specific graph pattern results. Performance of connected component packing in the drawing view is significantly improved. Also, the Launch Center now includes a button to access the tutorials and demos on our YouTube channel.

In addition, Perspectives is now available on AWS Marketplace, simplifying the process for developers to create and deploy robust graph analytics applications on the cloud.

Perspectives has been upgraded to Spring Framework 6.1.7. Also, many third-party libraries have been updated to eliminate potential vulnerabilities.
