This release brings massive improvements in performance. Screenshot from our internal benchmarks on a batch of tests, comparing this release vs the last:

As a result of this, TALA by default now executes 3 runs in parallel with different seeds, and picking the best one for you. This should produce better results at a much higher rate!

Features 🚀

  • You can now pass in multiple seeds, and TALA will race multiple layout runs with different seeds, choosing the best outcome. See the TALA Manual for more.

Improvements 🧹

  • Improves subgraph compaction giving space for better edges
  • Improved edge routing for clustered nodes
  • Significantly speeds up edge routing with many edges
  • Significant performance improvements
  • Uses up to 56% less memory for layouts with sql_tables

Bugfixes ⛑️

  • Fixes a rare condition that allowed nodes with self loops to escape their containers
  • Fixes edge from container going through descendants
  • Fixes a bug that could cause some asymmetrical edge routing
  • Fixes container shapes sometimes not having enough padding to fit icons
  • Fixes the alignment of nodes connected to sequence steps
  • Fixes the placement of clustered nodes connected to sequences

Breaking Changes

  • tala-seed changed to tala-seeds. You can still continue to pass in a single number, same as before. But the name change is reflective that it can now take in multiple seeds.
