G.V() 2.16.27 Release Notes

Hello hello! I’m excited to announce the latest release of G.V(), 2.16.27, packed full of user experience/quality of life improvements for the software as well as some extra goodies. 

Free trials are now up to a month!

So far, to allow users to trial G.V() Pro, we’ve been offering a 2 weeks trial which should give most people enough time to play with all of its features. We’ve also been offering users the option to get in touch with us directly to get an extension of typically 2 more weeks. We recognise that not everyone wants to have to ask and more importantly that sometimes during the trial things can get hectic and take the focus away from using our software.
For that reason, we’ve introduced a trial extension feature directly within G.V() – once your trial expires, you’ll be offered to extend it immediately in just one click. The best part is, you don’t even have to ask us anymore! If you aren’t on 2.16.27 yet, simply update G.V() and you’ll be offered the option to get your extensions as shown below:
 
 
We hope that this will take the stress of making the best of those 2 weeks out and give you more flexibility as well. You can also still sign up for a new trial every 3 months.
 

The Query Editor is getting a makeover

From its first release, G.V() used a popular text editor, CodeMirror, to provide its query editing features and various output displays (JSON, Console, Query Profile, etc). We recognise that a familiar user interface is essential to give users a better experience and so for that reason we’ve migrated all CodeMirror components to Monaco, Visual Studio Code’s own text editor. Aside from the sharp look and feel of VSCode, this change brings a whole host of new features and improvements:

  •  All default VSCode keyboard shortcuts are now available to use (indent, comment, find & replace, etc)
  • Considerable performance improvements particularly on large JSON displays
  • Minimaps are now available on large text contents
  • JSON formatting and folding of objects/lists is more intuitive to use
  • With Monaco’s extensive highlighting and widget features, we can now insert more useful content into the text editor

To demonstrate these new capabilities, we’ve got you another animation, as usual!

Everything else

 Aside from the above, we’ve also got a handful of small bug fixes and minor user experience improvements. One notable change is that we’ve now renamed the Graph (Advanced) View to just Graph View, and renamed the older graph view to just Graph (Legacy). As we continue to bring improvements and feature parity to our SigmaJS graph visualisation, the CytoscapeJS version (the legacy view) will eventually be fully replaced.

For a full list of changes, see the changelog below:

What else is cooking?

As previously mentioned we’ve got some big features in the works, and we’re looking at an announcement in July. Meanwhile, we’ll soon be introducing a new advanced custom authentication options allowing to you to generate credentials and authentication headers based on an external process. This is too support scenarios where your database access is protected in more complex ways, for instance with Google Cloud Identity-Aware proxy.
