Tom Sawyer Perspectives, Web Edition

Releases

Release 13.4.0

DateDecember 10, 2025
StatusGeneral

Overview

Tom Sawyer Perspectives 13.4.0 significantly enhances knowledge graph accessibility and developer efficiency. We are making complex data exploration intuitive for everyone by introducing Natural Language Queries, which translate conversational input directly into Cypher and Gremlin queries. Furthermore, our Pattern Matching Query Builder now supports RDF without the need to know the SPARQL query language.

The Perspectives 13.4.0 release improves application delivery and performance. We have upgraded our React, MUI Material UI, and MUI X software to deliver a next-generation, high-performance React UI that offers a 20–25% gain in rendering speed and responsiveness. Together, these architectural and deployment enhancements accelerate time-to-market while ensuring exceptional end-user experience.

The drawing view now includes in-place text editing capability for text fields in the Modern web client framework. Combined with precision layout improvements, this release produces even clearer and more insightful visualizations.

Perspectives has been upgraded to Spring Framework 6.2.12 and Spring Boot 3.5.6. Also, many third-party libraries have been updated to eliminate potential vulnerabilities. Perspectives now supports the OpenAI ChatGPT Atlas and Perplexity Comet AI browsers.
