Tom Sawyer Perspectives, Web Edition

Releases

Release 14.0.0

DateNovember 4, 2026
StatusGeneral

Overview

Tom Sawyer Perspectives 14.0.0 gives organizations greater flexibility in how they deploy graph and data visualization applications while making those applications more accessible to users around the world. New product tiers provide a choice of features while building applications and presents new pricing flexibility to accommodate software companies of different sizes and maturity levels. The new internationalization feature allows teams to localize applications to support multiple languages within a single application. In the drawing view, text fitting for nodes, labels, and connectors has been improved to remove unnecessary white space. When using the Go to Child action, you can now visualize intergraph edge segments within the child graph. Additional drawing view improvements include the ability to use arrow keys to pan and improved animation when expanding child drawings. Graph layout enhancements include improved layout of disconnected nodes to more closely maintain the required aspect ratio, improved layout of disconnected nodes when using swimlanes, and improved shape clipping in bundle layout. Together, these enhancements make it easier to tailor, deploy, and use graph visualization applications across a broader range of requirements.

Perspectives now supports Java 25 and has been upgraded to Spring Framework 7.0.9 and Spring Boot 4.1.1. Additionally, many third-party libraries have been updated to address potential security vulnerabilities.

Fixes

Views

  • Fixed incorrect execution of toolbar actions with identical names but different parameters across view types, ensuring each action runs its configured behavior without requiring unique text values
  • Drawing
    • Fixed issue in which edges overlapped nodes in drawings with hierarchical layout and swimlanes
    • Fixed issue in which ordering of disconnected nodes swapped positions upon the expansion of an unrelated nested drawing
    • Fixed issue in which the layout style of child graphs was updated upon a filter change
    • Fixed issue in which the layout progress bar sometimes rendered twice
  • Map
    • Updated Google Maps authentication to use API keys instead of Google Client IDs in Google Map view, see the Upgrade Guide for more details
  • REST
    • Fixed issue in which the Open REST View toolbar button in the Tom Sawyer Perspectives Web Previewer loaded an incorrect URL
  • Table
    • Fixed issue in which selection did not show after applying interactive sorting by attribute
  • Timeline
    • Fixed issue in the Modern view where repeated use of Zoom Fit prevented additional nodes from appearing when expanding the Timeline range

Issues

  • The Modern web client framework supports only one open invokable view dialog per application at a time.
  • If you use custom containers for your views, the initial view visibility state should be set manually in your application’s code.
  • You may see a warning of "Unknown Publisher" while using the uninstaller on Windows 11.
