* The 'Find...' command and the 'Select Elements' tool now additionally support text matching using the full power of regular expressions.
Improvements
* Improved and corrected import support for the GraphML file format variants of our commercial yFiles diagramming libraries yFiles for Java (3.x version series), yFiles for JavaFX (2.x version series), and yFiles for HTML (1.x version series).
* The 'Apply' and 'Apply Type' commands from the Palette's context menu now also support converting normal nodes to open/closed group nodes and vice versa. [Q&A 10269]
* The JREs that are installed by the Windows, Mac, and Linux installers have been updated to Java 1.8.0_121.
Bugfixes
* Addressed a problem in the Excel import where importing spreadsheets with blanks/whitespace in sheet names failed. [Q&A 10230]
* Many bugfixes, great and small.
yEd 3.16.2.1
Bugfixes
* Addressed an exception that happened on Windows and Mac OS X when trying to copy to the system clipboard.
yEd 3.16.2
Improvements
* The UML class node representation now uses the same font for the attribute, method, etc. entries as is set for the class name.
Bugfixes
* The properties views now also list the additional shape node representations (stars, fat arrows, etc.) and allow changing their properties.
* Many bugfixes, great and small.
yEd 3.16.1
New Features
* The Organic layout algorithm is able to automatically recognize regular substructures in a diagram and arrange them in an optimized manner depending on the kind of substructure. Four different kinds of substructures can be recognized: chains, stars, circles, and parallel substructures.
Improvements
* The JREs that are installed by the Windows, Mac, and Linux installers have been updated to Java 1.8.0_102.
Bugfixes
* Fixed a bug where self-loops in a diagram could cause the One-Click Layout to fail.
* Many bugfixes, great and small.
yEd 3.16
General
This yEd version requires a Java 8 Runtime Environment (JRE) to run on, which isn't available for older operating systems (see also the Java 8 system requirements). Thus, yEd needs at least Windows Vista or Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) to run.
New Features
* Added import support for the GraphML file format variants of our commercial yFiles diagramming libraries yFiles for Java 3.x, yFiles for JavaFX, yFiles.NET, yFiles WPF, and yFiles for HTML. With the yFiles for HTML format in particular, import of GraphML files written by the yEd Live web application is also supported.
* As a new option, the Hierarchical layout algorithm can take the thickness of an edge into account when calculating a layout for a diagram. Diagrams with thick edges in them can become wider and taller.
* As a new option, the Hierarchical layout algorithm can interpret edge direction according to the arrowhead.
* The integrated labeling in the Hierarchical layout algorithm places edge labels that specify a preferred placement at their source node or at their target node directly beside that node.
* Applying the Label Placement algorithm is now animated. Also, its execution can be canceled if it takes too long.
Improvements
* Additional sample node representations for nodes and group nodes in the 'Shape Nodes' and 'Group Nodes' palette section.
* The JREs that are installed by the Windows, Mac, and Linux installers have been updated to Java 1.8.0_92.
Bugfixes
* Many bugfixes, great and small.
New Features
The Circular and Radial layout algorithm as well as Balloon and all Directed
Tree layout algorithms support a new edge routing style where edge paths are
bundled to prevent visual clutter.
Bugfixes
Disabled menu interaction on Mac OS X during layout runs to prevent
accidental graph structure modifications.
Many bugfixes, great and small.
yEd is a powerful desktop application that can be used to quickly
and effectively generate high-quality diagrams. Create diagrams
manually, or import your external data for analysis. Its automatic
layout algorithms arrange even large data sets with just the press
of a button.
