1 giraffe, 2 giraffe, GO!
I am beyond excited to finally be able to announce a new version of ggraph. This release, like the ggforce 0.3.0 release, has been many years in the making, laying dormant for long periods first waiting for ggplot2 to get updated and then waiting for me to have time to finally finish it off.
