Version 1.6.0 of the R package used version 0.9.9 of the C core. The changes in the 0.10 series of the C core are relevant for version 2.0.0 of the R package, but not all C core functions are exposed in the R interface. Changes to the implementation of some functions in the C core may be reflected in functions in the R package.

estimate_betweenness(), estimate_edge_betweenness(), estimate_closeness() (#852).The internal format of graph objects has changed in a mostly backward-compatible way, to prepare for upgrading the C core to 0.10. Details are described at https://github.com/igraph/rigraph/wiki/The-igraph-object-format. Accessing graph objects that have been created with an older igraph version give a clean error message with instructions (#832). The new format cannot be read by igraph 1.4.3 or older, the following error is raised when trying to do so:
This graph was created by an old(er) igraph version.
Call upgrade_graph() on it to use with the current igraph version
For now we convert it on the fly...
Error in is_directed(object) :
REAL() can only be applied to a 'numeric', not a 'NULL'
The only supported remedy is to upgrade the igraph package to version 1.5.0 or later.
graph_version() now returns an integer scalar (#832, #847), 4 as of igraph 1.5.0 (#835).
Vertex and edge sequences are converted to numeric vectors when used in attributes (#808).
New largest_component() returns the largest connected component (#786, @ngmaclaren).
make_graph() when simplify = ... is used with a non-formula (#834).Add more tests for graph_from_literal() (#826).
Reenable serialization test and tests for dyad_census(), stabilize tests (#809, #822, #823).
The documentation for the R package is now hosted at https://r.igraph.org/ (#780).
Update vignette("installation-troubleshooting").
Fix use of deprecated functions in examples, e.g., replace gsize() by ecount() (#827).
Fix typos in ?eigen_centrality docs (@JJ).
Add DOI to CITATION (#773).
Add data for old igraph versions as constructed objects, and tests (#838).
Ensure we're always using named indexes to access the internal data structure (#784).
Prepare migration to igraph/C 0.10 (#781).
Update generated interface (#765).
Remove igraph.eigen.default() and eigen_defaults, introduce internal eigen_defaults() as a function (#741).
Remove broken nexus*() functions (#705), and srand() (#701).
Update C core.
ARPACK-based calculations are now interruptible.
shortest_paths() and all_shortest_paths() no longer crash when an invalid from vertex is passed and weights are being used.
See diff for details.
Use true vertex names for printing vertex sets. If a vertex set captures a relationship between vertices (e.g., the father component of bfs()), the vertex set is printed as a named vector (#754).
Suggest restarting R session after fatal error (#745).
as_long_data_frame() now correctly processes vertex attributes and works with graphs without vertex attributes (#748).
as.hclust(hrg.fit(g)) works again (#721).
The documentation is now available at https://igraph.org/ (#743).
Reorganize function reference (#662).
Replace graph() with make_graph() in examples (#738).
Add docs for as.hclust.igraphHRG() (#733).
Merged man page of hub_score() and authority_score() (#698).
Refactor contributors listing (#647).
Improve "family" titles (#679).
Improve docs of ego/neighborhood functions.
Improve transitivity() docs.
Introduce cpp11 package to improve error handling in the long run (#720).
Avoid longjmp for error handling and interrupts (#751).
as.hclust.igraphHRG uses .Call() interface (#727).
console() now works again and provides a Tcl/Tk based UI where igraph can post status messages and progress info (#664).
Fix errors when printing long vertex names (#677, @ahmohamed).
Fix regression that broke builds on some systems (e.g., GCC version 5 or earlier), introduced in igraph 1.4.0 (#670, #671).
fit_hrg() does not crash any more when called with a graph that has less than three vertices.
Fix warning about yyget_leng() returning wrong type when using LTO (#676).
Don't mention C++11 or C++17 for best compatibility with both newest R and older compilers, while still requesting a C++ compiler for linking.
Don't ignore build/ when building the package because the vignette index is built there.
Skip plot test entirely on R-devel.
Avoid submodules for building igraph (#674).
Makevars cleanup (#671).
Add Zenodo configuration file.
tkplot() gained a palette argument and it is now using the same palette as plot() by default, for sake of consistency.plot.igraph() gained a loop.size argument that can be used to scale the common radius of the loop edges.cluster_leading_eigen().igraph_version() returned an invalid value in 1.3.4, this is now corrected.par(xpd=...) is now restored after plotting a graph.as.dendrogram.communities() for large dendrograms, thanks
to @pkharchenko (see PR #292).graph_from_incidence_matrix() that prevented the creation of directed graphs with mode="all" from dense or sparse matrices.dfs() accidentally returned zero-based root vertex indices in the result object; this is now fixed and the indices are now 1-based.as_graphnel() does not duplicate loop edges any more.as_graphnel() now checks that the input graph has no multi-edges. Multi-edges are not supported by the graphNEL class.convex_hull() now returns the vertices of the convex hull with 1-based indexing.rgl.*() function calls in the codebase were replaced with equivalent *3d() function calls in preparation for upcoming deprecations in rgl (see PR #619)plot.igraph() does not use the frame=... partial argument any more when calling plot.default(). The default NULL value of frame.plot is now also handled correctly.hub_score() and authority_score() considered self-loops only once on the diagonal of the adjacency matrix of undirected graphs, thus the result was not identical to that obtained by eigen_centrality() on loopy undirected graphs. This is now corrected.distances() no longer ignores the mode parameter when algorithm='johnson'.automorphisms() was renamed to count_automorphisms(); the old name is still available, but it is deprecated.main branch directly.pkgdown thanks to @maelle (see #645). This will eventually become the official homepage.Added:
mark.groups=... argument of plot.igraph() now accepts communities
objectsFixed:
Negative degree exponents are not allowed any more in sample_pa() and
sample_aging_pa().
Package updated to be compatible with Matrix 1.5.
Other:
Added:
sample_asym_pref() now returns the generated types of the vertices in the
vertex attributes named outtype and intype.Fixed:
layout_nicely() does not recurse infinitely any more if it is assigned to
the layout attribute of a graph
layout_nicely() now ignores edge weights when there are non-positive
edge weights. This is needed because igraph 1.3.3 started validating edge
weights in layout_with_fr() and layout_with_drl(), resulting in
errors when layout_nicely() was used on weighted graphs with negative
weights. Since layout_nicely() is the default layout algorithm for
plot(), most users were not even aware that they were using the FR or
DrL layouts behind the scenes. Now the policy is that layout_nicely()
attempts to get the job done without errors if possible, even if that means
that edge weights must be ignored. A warning is printed if this is the case.
Added:
reverse_edges() reverses specific or all edges in a graph.
Single-bracket indexing of V() and E() resolves attribute names in the
indexing expressions by default (for instance, E(g)[weight > x] matches
edges with a weight larger than a threshold). This can be problematic if the
attribute masks one of the variables in the local evaluation context.
We now have a pronoun called .env (similarly to rlang::.env) that
allows you to force attribute name lookup to the calling environment. For
sake of completeness, we also provide .data (similarly to rlang::.data)
to force attribute name lookup to the vertex / edge attributes only. These
pronouns are automatically injected into the environment where the indexing
expression is evaluated.
Deprecated:
V() or E() indexing start
with a dot since igraph 1.1.1; however, the old dotless names did not print
a deprecation warning so this may have gone unnoticed for years. We are
introducting a deprecation warning for nei(), innei(), outnei(),
inc(), from() and to() inside single-bracket indexing of vertex and
edge sequences and will remove the old variants soon.The C core is updated to 0.9.9, fixing a range of bugs.
Fixed:
communities objects is now reported correctly.layout_with_kk() would fail to produce reasonable results with the default initial
coordinates. This has been corrected, however, this function no longer produces
precisely the same output for a given graph as before. To restore the previous
behaviour, use layout_with_kk(g, coord=layout_in_circle(g)) in 2D or
layout_with_kk(g, dim=3, coord=layout_on_sphere(g)) in 3D.igraph.vs object with v[x, na_ok=T] now correctly handles the
na_ok argument in all cases; previous versions ignored it when x was
a single number.Other:
Fixed:
graph_from_adjacency_matrix() now works with sparse matrices even if the
cell values in the sparse matrix are unspecified.cluster_walktrap() when modularity=FALSE and membership=FALSE.cluster_walktrap() no longer accepts invalid weight vectors.cluster_walktrap() no longer returns a modularity vector of invalid length for
disconnected graphs. This also fixes some rare failures of this function on
weighted disconnected graphs.edge_attr() does not ignore its index=... argument any more.automorphisms(), automorphism_group() and canonical_permutation() now
allow all possible values supported by the C core in the sh argument.
Earlier versions supported only "fm".vertex.frame.width plotting parameter now allows zero and negative
values; these will simply remove the outline of the corresponding vertex.sh argument of the BLISS isomorphism algorithm in
isomorphic() was fixed; earlier versions incorrectly referred to sh1 and
sh2.dominator_tree() now conforms to its documentation with respect to the
dom component of the result: it contains the indices of the dominator
vertices for each vertex and -1 for the root of the dominator tree."power" algorithm of page_rank() have been removed from
the documentation, as this method is no longer available.The C core is updated to 0.9.7, fixing a range of bugs and introducing a number of new functions.
Added:
has_eulerian_path() and has_eulerian_cycle() decides whether there is an
Eulerian path or cycle in the graph.eulerian_path() and eulerian_cycle() returns the edges and vertices in an
Eulerian path or cycle in the graph.any_loop() checks whether a graph contains at least one loop edge.is_tree() checks whether a graph is a tree and also finds a possible rootto_prufer() converts a tree graph into its Prufer sequencemake_from_prufer() creates a tree graph from its Prufer sequencesample_tree() to sample labelled trees uniformly at randomsample_spanning_tree() to sample spanning trees of an undirected graph
uniformly at randomautomorphisms() and canonical_permutation() now supports vertex colorsrandom_edge_walk() to record the edges traversed during a random walkharmonic_centrality() calculates the harmonic centrality of vertices,
optionally with a cutoff on path lengthsmean_distance() now supports edge weights and it can also return the number
of unconnected vertex pairs when details=TRUE is passed as an argumentgreedy_vertex_coloring() finds vertex colorings based on a simple greedy
algorithm.bridges() finds the bridges (cut-edges) of a graphframe.width vertex attribute or the
vertex.frame.width keyword argument, thanks to @simoncarrignon .
See PR #500 for more details.automorphism_group() returns a possible (not necessarily minimal)
generating set of the automorphism group of a graph.global_efficiency() calculates the global efficiency of the graph.local_efficiency() calculates the local efficiency of each vertex in a graph.average_local_efficiency() calculates the average local efficiency across
the set of vertices in a graph.rewire(each_edge(...)) now supports rewiring only one endpoint of each edge.realize_degseq() generates graphs from degree sequences in a deterministic
manner. It is also available as make_(degseq(..., deterministic=TRUE)).clique_size_counts() counts cliques of different sizes without storing them all.feedback_arc_set() finds a minimum-weight feedback arc set in a graph, either
with an exact integer programming algorithm or with a linear-time approximation.make_bipartite_graph() now handles vertices with names.shortest_paths() now supports graphs with negative edge weights.min_cut() now supports s-t mincuts even if value.only=FALSE.as.matrix() now supports converting an igraph graph to an adjacency or edge
list matrix representation. See as.matrix.igraph() for more details. This
function was migrated from intergraph; thanks to Michal Bojanowski.Fixed:
is_connected() now returns FALSE for the null graphlength() on a graph now returns the number of vertices to make it
consistent with indexing the graph with [[.diameter() now corrently returns infinity for disconnected graphs when
unconnected=FALSE. Previous versions returned the number of vertices plus
one, which was clearly invalid for weighted graphs.mean_distance() now correctly treats the path length between disconnected
vertices as infinite when unconnected=FALSE. Previous versions used the
number of vertices plus one, adding a bias towards this number, even if the
graph was weighted and the number of vertices plus one was not a path length
that could safely have been considered as being longer than any "valid" path.layout_with_sugiyama() now handles the case of exactly one extra virtual
node correctly; fixes #85bfs() and dfs() callback functions now correctly receive 1-based vertex
indices and ranks; it used to be zero-based in earlier versionsbfs() or dfs() callback
does not crash R any moreprint() on a graph with a small max.lines value (smaller than the
number of lines needed to print the attribute list and the header) does not
raise an error any more; fixes #179as_adjacency_matrix(edges=TRUE, sparse=TRUE) now consistently returns the
last edge ID for each cell in the matrix instead of summing them.+ and - operators with a path() object consisting of two
vertices is now handled correctly; fixes #355topo_sort() now throws an error if the input graph is not acyclic instead
of returning an incorrect partial ordering.transitivity(mode="barrat") now
throw an error for multigraphs; the implementation does not work correctly
for multigraphs and earlier versions did not warn about this.Changed:
neimode argument of bfs() and dfs() was renamed to mode for sake
of consistency with other functions. The old argument name is deprecated and
will be removed in 1.4.0.bfs() and dfs() callback functions now correctly receive 1-based vertex
indices and ranks; it used to be zero-based in earlier versions. (This is
actually a bugfix so it's also mentioned in the "Fixed" section).closeness(), betweenness() and edge_betweenness() now all take a
cutoff argument on their own. estimate_closeness(), estimate_betweenness()
and estimate_edge_betweenness() became aliases, with identical signature.
They are not deprecated but their implementation might change in future
versions to provide proper estimation schemes instead of a simple cutoff-based
approximation. If you explicitly need cutoffs and you want your results to be
reproducible with future versions, use closeness(), betweenness() and
edge_betweenness() in your code with a cutoff argument.closeness() now only considers reachable vertices during the calculation;
in other words, closeness centrality is now calculated on a per-component
basis for disconnected graphs. Earlier versions considered all vertices.Deprecated:
cutoff=0 for closeness(), betweenness() and edge_betweenness()
is deprecated; if you want exact scores, use a negative cutoff. cutoff=0
will be interpreted literally from igraph 1.4.0.centr_degree_tmax() now prints a warning when it is invoked without an
explicit loops argument. loops will be mandatory from igraph 1.4.0.nexus_list(), nexus_info(), nexus_get() and nexus_search()
functions now return an error informing the user that the Nexus graph
repository has been taken offline (actually, several years ago). These
functions will be removed in 1.4.0.edges argument of as_adjacency_matrix() is deprecated; it will be
removed in igraph 1.4.0.Removed:
page_rank_old() function and the deprecated power method of
page_rank() were removed.Dec 27, 2021

The C core is updated to 0.8.5, fixing a range of bugs and introducing a number of new functions.
Added:
Fixed:
make_lattice() correctly rounds length to the nearest integer while
printing a warning (#115).make_empty_graph(NULL) now prints an error instead of producing an
invalid graph (#404).make_graph(c()) now produces an empty graph instead of printing a
misleading error message (#431).types argument of functions related to bipartite graphs now prints
a warning when the types are coerced to booleans (#476).layout_with_sugiyama() returns a layout of type matrix even if there is
only one vertex in the graph (#408).Deprecated:
membership argument of modularity.matrix() is now deprecated as the
function never needed it anyway.modularity() now prints a warning when it is applied on a directed graph
because the implementation in igraph's C core does not support directed
graphs as of version 0.8.5. The warning will be turned into an error in
the next minor (1.3.0) version of the R interface; the error will be removed
later when the C core is updated to a version that supports modularity for
directed networks.transitivity() now prints a warning when its local variant (type="local")
is called on a directed graph or a graph with multiple edges beecause the
implementation in the C core of igraph does not work reliably in these cases
as of version 0.8.5. The warning will be turned into an error in the next
minor (1.3.0) version of the R interface; the error will be removed later
when the C core is updated to a version that supports transitivity for
networks with multiple edges.Misc:

This is a new major version of igraph, and then why not call it 1.0.0. This does not mean that it is ready, it'll never be ready.
The biggest changes in the release are
make_() and make_graph() functions to
create graphs.make_graph() function to create graphs.layout_() (not the underscore!) function
to create graph layouts, see also add_layout_().upgrade_graph() on graphs created with previous igraph
versions.[[ operator now,

smallest distance to consider.all_simple_paths() function to list all simple paths in a graph.triangles() lists all triangles in a graph.local_scan() function calculates scan statistics.embed_adjacency_matrix() and embed_laplacian_matrix().*, the same graph multiple times. Can be also
used as rep().random_walk()adjacent_vertices() and incident_edges() functions,

There are a bunch of new features in the library itself, and other important changes in the life of the project. Thanks everyone for sending code and reporting bugs!
igraph's development has moved from Launchpad to github. This has actually happened several month ago, but never announced officially. The place for reporting bugs is at https://github.com/igraph/igraph/issues.
igraph's homepage is now hosted at http://igraph.org, and it is brand new. We wanted to make it easier to use and modern.
You can download nightly builds from igraph at http://igraph.org/nightly. Source and binary R packages (for windows and OSX), are all built.

Added k.regular.game().
Use vertex names to plot if no labels are specified in the function call or as vertex attributes. Fixes issue #1085431.
power.law.fit() can now use a C implementation.
Fixed a bug in barabasi.game() when out.seq was an empty vector.

This is a bug-fix release. Bugs fixed:
Released Aug 18, 2006
Release time at last! There are many new things in igraph 0.2, the most important ones:
New things specifically in the R package:
Although this release was somewhat tested on Linux, MS Windows, Mac OSX, Solaris 8 and FreeBSD, no heavy testing was done, so it might contain bugs, and we kindly ask you to send bug reports to make igraph better.
Released Jan 30, 2006
After about a year of development this is the first "official" release of the igraph library. This release should be considered as beta software, but it should be useful in general. Please send your questions and comments.
