 #### Improvements 🧹
 
 - `dagre` layouts that have a connection where one endpoint is a container is much improved. [#1011](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/1011)
-- `elk` layouts favor balance over straight edges. [#1028](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/1028)
+- `elk` layouts have less bends in the routes. [#1033](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/1033)
+- `elk` layouts center nodes better. [#1028](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/1028)
 - `elk` layouts have nicer margins between node boundaries and edges. [#1028](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/1028)
 - `sketch` draws connections with less roughness, which especially improves look of corner bends in ELK. [#1014](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/1014)
 - CSS in SVGs are diagram-specific, which means you can embed multiple D2 diagrams on a web page without fear of style conflicts. [#1016](https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/1016)
