The latest version of Gephi has been released, download it for Windows, Mac OS and Linux platforms. This release captitalizes the bugfixes and stability improvements we have done over the last few months. It also greatly improves the Mac OS X compatibility with the Gatekeeper and Retina Display support. Gephi should now starts right away when double-clicking on the App with a Gatekeeper-enabled computer. However if you have an older version of Gephi on your computer, you should uninstall it and remove the user directory, see the installation instructions.
This release is the first one based on our new Continuous Integration environment. This new system makes it easy for developers to create a new release and for beta-testers to test an early version. Users eventually get a software which has been tested much more heavily and by a larger population compared to previous releases.
Plugins need to be checked for compatibility. They will reappear on the Plugin Center in the coming days, as they are verified. Thanks for your patience.
Consult the release notes and the new Javadoc for more information.
