SocNetV v3.3 released! 🎉

We are excited to announce the release of SocNetV v3.3, the latest version of our cross-platform social network analysis and visualization software.

This release focuses on robustness and long-term maintainability, with major improvements under the hood — while also adding a useful new feature for researchers working with centrality and prestige.

🔍 What’s New in SocNetV v3.3?

🧱 Major internal refactor: Graph is now a façade SocNetV’s Graph has been refactored into a façade/coordinator, with functionality split into focused modules under src/graph/*.
This makes the codebase easier to extend and safer to evolve without breaking behavior.

📏 DistanceEngine stabilized + deterministic regression guardrails We extracted and stabilized DistanceEngine, and added:

  • deterministic “golden” regression outputs
  • performance benchmark guardrails to help keep refactors honest over time

🧪 New headless regression harness: socnetv-cli v3.3 introduces socnetv-cli, a modular regression harness designed to protect algorithmic correctness during refactors. It supports schema-versioned JSON outputs and committed baselines, with kernels for:

  • distance (v1)
  • reachability (v2)
  • walks matrix (v3)
  • prominence (v4)

🎯 New feature: filter vertices by centrality & prestige indices You can now filter vertices based on their centrality and prestige scores — a great way to focus analysis on the most important actors in your networks.

📥 Import / parsing fixes A lot of edge cases were fixed to make importing more reliable:

  • Pajek mixed files with overlapping *Arcs/*Edges blocks
  • UCINET/DL edge cases (line wrapping, diagonal handling)

🧮 Walks computation fixes Fixes in walksBetween() and walks-matrix parameters improve correctness and consistency of walk-based measures.

🛠 Build, packaging, and UI polish

  • cross-platform build & packaging fixes (Qt6/CMake, Debian packaging updates, openSUSE spec fixes, macOS arm64 linker fix)
  • UI polish for disabled widgets and checkbox/radio styling

We’d like to thank our contributors and users for reporting issues, suggesting features, and helping SocNetV improve with every release. 🙏
