C/igraph 0.9.7, the seventh bugfix release of the 0.9 series, has arrived.

The source can be obtained from the GitHub releases page.

This release includes bug fixes, build system tweaks and minor (performance and non-performance-related) improvements. Read on for more details.

Changed

• igraph_get_all_shortest_paths_dijsktra() now uses tolerances when comparing path lengths, and is thus robust to numerical roundoff errors.
• igraph_vector_*_swap and igraph_matrix_swap now take O(1) instead of O(n) and accept all sizes.

Fixed

• NCOL and LGL format writers no longer accept “name” and “weight” attributes of invalid types.
• The LGL writer could not access numerical weight attributes, potentially leading to crashes.
• External PLFIT libraries and their headers are now detected at their standard installation location.
• igraph_vector_init() no longer accepts negative vector sizes.
• igraph_assortativity_nominal() crashed on the null graph.
• Label propagation now ensures that all labels are dominant.
• Fixed incorrect partition results for walktrap algorithm (issue #1927)
• Negative values returned by igraph_rng_get_integer() and RNG_INTEGER() were incorrect, one larger than they should have been.
• igraph_community_walktrap() now checks its steps input argument.
• The first modularity value reported by igraph_community_walktrap() was incorrect (it was always zero). This is now fixed.
• igraph_correlated_game() would return incorrect results, or exhaust the memory, for most input graphs that were not generated with igraph_erdos_renyi_game_gnp().

Other

• The C attribute handler now verifies attribute types when retrieving attributes.
• Documentation improvements
