• Added the ToolWindowContainer.TitleBarMinHeight property that sets the title bar's minimum height.

Editors

• Added the AutoCompleteBox.SelectedItemChanged event.
• Added the AutoCompleteBox.InputMode property, which determines control usage behavior.
• Added a HasText property to the BrushEditBox and ColorEditBox controls, allowing the text portion of the edit box to be hidden for swatch-only display.
• Improved DateEditBox and TimeEditBox to accept delimiter-less input for several additional custom formats.
• Updated numeric edit boxes to support large incremental changes when holding Shift while pressing Up/Down or rotating the mouse wheel.

Grids

• Added the PropertyGrid.RequestRefresh method that can request that the property grid refreshes its contents.
• Added the PropertyDescriptorPropertyModel.PropertyDescriptor property.
• Updated PropertyDescriptorPropertyModel to watch for changes to non-value PropertyDescriptor properties like DisplayName when the descriptor implements INotifyPropertyChanged.

SyntaxEditor

• Added a new background that renders the search range when the search overlay pane is in Selection scope mode.
• Added the SyntaxEditor.HasSearchOverlayPaneKeyBindings property, which can be set to false when using external search UI to prevent access to the built-in search overlay pane.
• Added the ICompletionItemCollection.CreateBatch and AddRange methods, which when used to add completion items can dramatically improve item-adding performance. Updated all premium add-on completion providers to use the new methods.

• Updated several static members on HtmlContentProvider to be methods that take a IHighlightingStyleRegistry parameter, thereby allowing the content provider to do highlighting style lookups in the same registry used by a target view.
• Updated the search overlay pane when opened to not auto-search for tabs that may surround a zero-length selection.
• Updated the search views to allow Ctrl+Enter to execute a Find All search operation when the Find textbox has focus and IsFindAllButtonVisible is true.
• Updated mouse wheel scrolling to still work when the related scrollbar is hidden. It is recommended to set SyntaxEditor.CanScrollPastDocumentEnd to false when hiding the vertical scrollbar.
