17 +Instead of naming this release //KIELER Pragmatics 0.12.0//, we decided to name it //KIELER Pragmatics 2014/05//. This way, people immediately see when this version was released. Also, since the plug-ins and features carry a timestamp, people can immediately see which release a particular plug-in or feature belongs to. All hail to clarity!

38 +The 2014/05 release of KIELER Pragmatics continues our efforts to redesign our core APIs, KIML and KLighD. **It includes a number of API-breaking changes, so beware of upgrading to this release if you currently do not have time to adapt your code accordingly.** You can find a list of solved tickets for this release at [[our issue tracking system>>url:http://rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10400&version=10700||shape="rect"]]. Release notes of older releases can be found at our [[doc:Release Notes]] page.

38 38  If you're wondering where components have gone that were traditionally a part of KIELER, you might not know yet that the KIELER was split into two separate projects, KIELER Pragmatics and KIELER Semantics, which release pretty much independently.

53 53  * [[KIELER Layout Algorithms>>doc:Layout Algorithms (KLay)]]
78 +** KLay Layered now makes sure that labels of compound node ports placed on the inside of the compound node are not overlapped by nodes inside the compound node.
79 +** KLay Layered now supports controlling the spacing between and around ports through the new layout options {{code language="none"}}LayoutOptions.PORT_SPACING{{/code}} and {{code language="none"}}LayoutOptions.ADDITIONAL_PORT_SPACING{{/code}}.
80 +** KLay Layered now understands LayoutOptions.NO_LAYOUT, which can be set to exclude particular graph elements from automatic layout.
81 +** KLay Layered now understands a new programmatic option for edge thickness.
82 +** When in hierarchical layout mode, KLay Layered now properly places edge labels of cross-hierarchy edges.
83 +** When in hierarchical layout mode, KLay Layered can now compact cross-hierarchy edges as it can compact regular edges ({{code language="none"}}Properties.MERGE_HIERARCHICAL_PORTS{{/code}}):
84 +[[image:attach:merge_hierarchy.png]]
54 54  * [[KGraph Text>>doc:KGraph Text (KGT)]]
86 +** The textual language for defining KGraphs now has a lot more defaults. Node and port labels are automatically extracted from the node's and port's ID. Nodes and ports also have a default size. This makes for shorter diagram descriptions.

61 -** In KLay Layered, the polyline edge router could produce results where edges overlapped nodes.
62 -** In KLay Layered, the polyline edge router could produce weird results when more than one edge leaves a given port.
