Xebece 1.0.3 released
I finally did a new minor release. This features a new german documentation for Xebece written by Simon Schwarz and a documentation update in the english manual written by Dag Rune Sneeggen. Also included are some smaller bugfixes and (for the first time) the complete sourcecode for the program. Since the improvements go into the development branch (the upcoming 1.1 or 2.0), there are no new features in the program itself.

Still alive!
After some time of inactivity I finally find some time to resume the development of Xebece. Simon Schwarz has entered some fine ideas into the Wiki, some of which will be implemented in the next release. Simon has also contributed a good german manual. Thanks Simon.

Xebece 1.0.2 released
This is the promised bugfix release. The fonts and fontsize menus have been fixed. The PNG export is no longer broken. The beginning of a manual has been added. The edit menu now aligns with the node context menu which is especially handy for MacOS users who have only 1-button mice.

Progress report
I have started some fine improvements for the upcoming 2.0 release:
1. I started to rewrite the GUI using the SWT library instead of Swing. This will improve the appearance, responsivness and OS integration greatly. As a bonus this will allow Xebece to be run with free Java runtimes and not depend on Sun's proprietary implementation.
2. As a sideeffect of 1 I have started to rewrite the layout engine (which was Prefuse until now) -- also for SWT. Again, this will improve performance and responsivness.
A working prototype for both is already in place. I hope to finish these rewritings soon. 2.0 will be great! :-)
In the meantime I have fixed some usability bugs in the stable (1.0) branch and a manual for Xebece has been started (see Wiki). Expect a stable update soon.

Xebece 1.0.1 released
Xebece 1.0.1 has been released today. This is primarily a bugfix release. Besides some minor bugs this release fixes the move/drag functionality, which was much too fast in 1.0.0. In addition to that this release has improved examples that better show the capabilities of Xebece, have a look in doc/examples.
