Released: Sep 5, 2025

Updates in 2025 Volume 3 (31.1.17)

Features

  • Charts
    • No data template - When the data source is completely unavailable, users can now display custom HTML content, such as images or messages, to represent the absence of data in a chart visually.
  • Chat UI
    • Tagging users in messages - The Chat UI now supports mentioning users within chat messages. Users can tag specific individuals during conversations using the @ symbol trigger with a suggestion pop-up displayed for selection.
  • Diagram
    • Preserving connector segment changes - Ensured that any manual adjustments to connector segments are preserved when the source or target nodes are moved. Additionally, these changes are now fully integrated with the undo/redo stack, allowing users to seamlessly revert or reapply connector segment modifications. This improves precision while editing complex workflows or custom layouts.
    • Render HTML/SVG template nodes in symbol palette - Users can now define and render custom nodes using an HTML or SVG template directly within the symbol palette. It enables rich visual representations, including styled shapes, icons, or interactive elements.
    • Disable the tooltip in symbol palettes - Users can now disable tooltip for shapes and connectors displayed in the symbol palette. It provides a cleaner UI experience, especially when tooltips are unnecessary or may interfere with user interactions.
  • Gantt Chart
    • Optimized task loading and scrolling performance - Task loading with predecessor validation has been optimized, resulting in up to 3X faster load times. Scrolling performance has also been significantly improved, providing a smoother and more responsive experience when working with large datasets.
  • DataGrid
    • Built-in row and column spanning - The DataGrid now supports the automatic merging of adjacent cells with identical values, both vertically and horizontally. When the same value appears in consecutive rows or columns, those cells are combined to create a more streamlined and readable layout. This enhancement improves data clarity and presentation.
  • Kanban Board
    • Column rearrangement - The drag-and-drop functionality now allows users to easily rearrange columns within the board, enhancing board customization and workflow flexibility.
  • Pivot Table
    • Hierarchical field list in server-side engine - The field list's TreeView can now be rendered with a hierarchical (folder-like) structure when using the server-side engine. This enhancement aligns the behavior of the server-side Pivot Table with the client-side implementation, offering a more consistent and intuitive user experience across platforms.
  • Query Builder
    • Performance improvements - The Query Builder component has received performance enhancements across multiple rendering and interaction scenarios. These optimizations reduce loading times for large datasets and complex configurations, benefiting developers building applications with extensive filtering requirements. For example, rendering 1,000 lock groups or rules is now 24.94x faster, enabling smoother query construction in data-intensive applications.
  • Rich Text Editor
    • Checklist - Users can now create checklists (to-do lists) directly within the Rich Text Editor. Users can easily add interactive checkbox items to their content, enabling task tracking and action item management within documents.
    • Quick insert for table rows and columns - Added the ability for users to insert rows and columns into a table quickly. When hovering the mouse near the table edges, a "+" icon appears, enabling users to add rows or columns with a single click.
    • Enhance table properties - Added support for users to customize the table border width and color. Users can easily adjust the thickness and appearance of table borders to match their document styling needs.
    • Source code view restructured - Improved alignment and formatting in the Rich Text Editor's source code view. By applying consistent indentation and structure, it enhances the readability of the underlying HTML content, making it easier for users to review and edit code directly within the editor.
    • Drag and drop media files - Enhanced media handling by allowing users to directly drag and drop video and audio files into the editor. It streamlines the content creation process, making it easier to insert multimedia without navigating through upload dialogs.
  • Stock Chart
    • No data template - When the data source is completely unavailable, users can now display custom HTML content, such as images or messages, to represent the absence of data in a stock chart visually.
  • TreeGrid
    • Customize empty record message - The TreeGrid now supports customizing the content displayed when no records are available. Instead of the default message, alternative text or an image can be shown to better align with the interface.
    • Column chooser layout customization - The layout of the column chooser can now be modified, including its header, content area, and footer. This allows for a more consistent and visually aligned experience across your TreeGrid component.
