What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

###### Changed

- In the CMake build system, whether GTK-dependent components are built or not
  can now be controlled by the `-DWITH_GTK={AUTO|ON|OFF}` option. #2714
- The CMake build system now includes man pages for the `circo`, `dot2gxl`,
  `fdp`, `gv2gml`, `gv2gxl`, `gvmap.sh`, `gxl2dot`, `neato`, `sfdp`, and `twopi`
  aliases. #1753, #2530
- In the CMake build system, whether Poppler-dependent components are built or
  not can now be controlled by the `-DWITH_POPPLER={AUTO|ON|OFF}` option. #2714
- The gvpr `-a` option is no longer limited to 100 arguments. It is limited now
  only by available memory.
- In the CMake build system, whether librsvg-dependent components are built or
  not can now be controlled by the `-DWITH_RSVG={AUTO|ON|OFF}` option. #2714
- In the CMake build system, whether libwebp-dependent components are built or
  not can now be controlled by the `-DWITH_WEBP={AUTO|ON|OFF}` option. #2714
- **Breaking**: The `CDT_VERSION` macro has been updated to reflect the last
  time an API-breaking change was made. This should have happened in Graphviz
  9.0.0 and then multiple other releases since then. #2722
- In the CMake build system, whether X11-dependent components are built or not
  can now be controlled by the `-DWITH_X={AUTO|ON|OFF}` option. #2714
- The graphviz_version.h header includes macros `GRAPHVIZ_VERSION_MAJOR`,
  `GRAPHVIZ_VERSION_MINOR`, `GRAPHVIZ_VERSION_PATCH` for compile-time
  discrimination based on the Graphviz version. #2716
- The CMake build system no longer allows overriding the Graphviz version with
  `-DVERSION=…`.
- **Breaking**: The `agcanonStr` function has been removed.

###### Fixed

- The CMake build system no longer installs an `sfdp` alias when SFDP is
  disabled (`-Dwith_sfdp=OFF`).
- The plugin version in pre-built Fedora and Rocky Linux packages has been
  corrected 6 → 8. This change should have happened in Graphviz 13.0.0.
- Empty HTML-like labels (`<>`) are once again processed successfully. This was
  a regression in Graphviz 13.0.0. #2727
- Some typos in the cgraph man page have been fixed.
