Hi all,
On the heels of v0.8.0, I’m pleased to announce the release of [LightGraphs](https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/LightGraphs.jl) v0.9.0. This version reduces the number of dependencies required to install LightGraphs from 29 to 7.
We accomplished this by moving most graph loading/saving methods into a separate package called [GraphIO](https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/GraphIO.jl). We’ve kept the LightGraphs native file format since it’s good to have a basic way to save and load graphs, but if you’re looking to use some other common format, please check out GraphIO.
In addition, thanks to @jgoldfar, we have a new cycle detection algorithm that’s been included in this release.
As usual, shout out to @jpfairbanks, @juliohm, and @tkelman for their assistance in getting this release ready.
Also special thanks to @mauro3 for some excellent work with [SimpleTraits](https://github.com/mauro3/SimpleTraits.jl).
Heads up: we will be tweaking dependency versions as the authors release new versions for Julia 0.6.
