On the face of it, it appears that graphviz.org is much newer.
But... is the graphviz.org dot.exe compatible with PlantUML?
To better clarify my question:
The latest plantuml version (plantuml-1.2024.7.jar) includes a June 2020 dot version:
java -jar plantuml-1.2024.7.jar -testdot
Dot version: dot - graphviz version 2.44.1 (20200629.0846)
Installation seems OK. File generation OK
The latest graphviz from graphviz.org (directing the GRAPHVIZ_DOT environment variable to it):
GRAPHVIZ_DOT=C:\Graphviz-12.1.2-win64\bin\dot.exe
appears to work with PlantUML despite including a September 2024 dot version:
java -jar plantuml-1.2024.7.jar -testdot
Dot version: dot - graphviz version 12.1.2 (20240928.0832)
Installation seems OK. File generation OK
If so, why aren't the latest plantuml jars including a more recent version of dot.exe?
Thank you
