This is really a two-for-one release, as alpha-0.2.2 was a stealth fizzle due to build problems (now solved). We now support 8 linux platforms, and both Intel and PowerPC Mac OS X 10.4+. There are subtantially fewer dynamic library dependencies. We’re confident we can build for pretty much any flavour of linux now, so if you can’t get one of the versions to work, let us know (support@ubietylab.net).

Lots of new features since the last (announced) release: a nifty Python API that will be fun to play with (see the Quick Start), XMLRPC client callbacks when a vertex is double-clicked, arrows, autozoom, fullscreen mode, oriented edges, toggling labels, better documentation and lots of new examples. It’s faster and more stable.  And there’s a nice Ruby API contributed by mootoh.
