GraphForge v0.2.1: Dataset Loading

GraphForge v0.2.1 added dataset loading infrastructure so users could start with real graphs instead of hand-building toy examples.

The release introduced cached loading for Stanford Network Analysis Project datasets, plus MERGE ON CREATE SET and MERGE ON MATCH SET.

What Shipped

  • GraphForge.from_dataset()
  • load_dataset(), list_datasets(), get_dataset_info(), and clear_cache()
  • Cached auto-downloads under ~/.graphforge/datasets/
  • SNAP datasets including Facebook, Enron, AstroPh, Google Web, and Twitter graphs
  • MERGE create/match property semantics
  • WITH variable passing fix in aggregation queries

Why We're Excited

Good graph tooling should make the first useful query easy. Dataset loading turned GraphForge into a faster workbench for experiments, tutorials, and benchmark-style analysis.
