Graph for Scala 2.9.0?

2.9.0-RC1 will be out next week according to the latest I've heard. It
doesn't seem like the time to be adding new features.

Best,
Ismael

As a tech writer/doc guy who's skimmed the user's manual--it's really, really nice! Concise without being terse, plenty of meaningful and easily understood examples, really good use of text styles and formatting to guide the eye in meaningful ways. I've often been saddened in the past at seeing really good libraries or tools that fail to gain traction because the designers don't realize the need for good docs. It's great to see that this is not a problem with Graph.
So, time for me to give a more detailed look at the manual to see if Graph is suitable for something I'm working on right now. I just wanted to give "two thumbs up" for what I've seen so far.
Cheers,Ken

(Sorry, I've found no way on Assembla to upload a site.)

Thanks for the contribution, Peter. It looks really good. It was too late to include in 2.9 as we feature froze a while ago. We plan next to build some kind of extended core library around the distribution and I think your package would make a great addition to that.

Cheers

Hello Martin,

thank you for taking a look at Graph. Yes, it is a too late for 2.9.0
now, but this has the great advantage that Graph will be further
enhanced in the meantime. There is really so much I'd like to add...
Sorry if it's just a foundation at the moment, not a full-featured
library.

Is this planned “extended core library” due to have an independent
release cycle or will it be bound to the next Scala release such as
2.9.1?

Cheers
Peter

Not exactly sure yet, but for the moment it looks like independent release cycle.

Ho, an extended core library, that would be great.
It could mean that only a small core will be in Scala core library
(language construction, collections, etc), and other things (like actors
and swing ?) would go in that extended library ? And so, we could hope
for a smaller, quicker to load Scala core lib in a near future, in place
of one likely to increase in size (along with features) ? That would be
really nice.

I'm a fan of this plan. Shuffling things that are used by some but not all apps and which legitimately may have dev cycles that don't mesh so well with the core into a constellation of extended core modules would be great - lets us avoid the mess Java got into with the "is it in the javax namespace or not or partly? or perhaps not at the verison I need it?" spaghetti pot-luck.
