Infomap v2.10
Per-level module counts in JSON output, idiomatic R package with SWIG bindings, library-safe no-output mode (changelog).
May 5, 2026
Infomap is now on R-universe
After many requests, Infomap is now available as an idiomatic R package with
SWIG bindings. Install it from R-universe
and run multilevel community detection directly from R — including a
high-level cluster_infomap() helper that takes an edge list and returns
modules, codelength, and a tidy node table. This brings the same algorithm
and feature set as the Python API to the R community.

Infomap v2.9
Enhanced CLI summary output, codelength correction for higher-order solutions, NetworkX multilayer graph state ID handling (changelog).
