What is New in 2022 Vol 2

General NOV Improvements

Support for Blazor / WebAssembly

NOV has full support for Blazor / WebAssembly. The entire functionality of NOV can be used on the client-side through C# or JavaScript.

Support hardware acceleration in WPF

The WPF rendering has been significantly improved and NOV can render directly to a DirectX image using hardware-accelerated rendering, which dramatically improves the rendering performance of the applications using NOV.

Localization Improvements

Additional strings are added to the localization dictionary and platform-specific localization features are provided on selected platforms. See the Platform Specific Localization Features topic for more information.

Diagram Improvements

Family Tree Shapes Settings

The family tree diagram extension now provides 2 settings for family tree shapes: date format (show dates as 4-digit years or in day/month/year format) and whether to show photos or not.

Text Improvements

Support for Column Breaks inside paragraphs.

The Rich Text Editor now supports column breaks inside paragraphs, as regular text inlines. This allows you to have many column breaks per section.

Character and Word Spacing

The control supports controllable character and word spacing which can be applied to blocks, and individual inlines. This allows you to have better control over text layout similar to the one found in professional desktop publishing systems.

Schedule Improvements

Fixed Time Indicators Added

Besides a current time indicator, the Schedule component can now show fixed time indicators with various styles. See the Schedule Time Indicators topic for more information.
