General NOV Improvements

NOV has a native build for .NET 9.0, in addition to the supported builds for .NET Framework 4.7.2+ and .NET 8.0.

The new version NOV Chart for .NET adds the following new features and improvements:

Fast Bar, Fast Line, and Fast Point Series - the new set of fast series in the control enables real-time data visualization of very large data sets to the tune of millions of data points. This is achieved by extensively using the GPU for many of the computations. All three new series support 2D and 3D visualization modes, as well as the option to display per data point color information. This makes the control suitable for demanding real-time, scientific, medical, and other applications.
Improved data labeling - all series in the control, feature an optimized performance for the automatic data positioning and layout.
Improved axis dock anchors - axis dock anchors now can automatically switch the dock side if this will enhance the axis visibility to the user.
Improved data zoom tool – the data zoom tool can zoom in / out on the current mouse position using the mouse wheel.
Palette Editor - the chart features a new editor for chart palettes, that allows the user to select and edit palette colors.

The new version of NOV Diagram for .NET includes the following new features:

Support for Visio Layers - Import and export of Visio layers from Visio Drawings (VSDX, VSD) and Stencils (VSSX, VSS).
New Calendar Shapes Library - the new calendar shapes make it easy to embed calendars and schedules in your diagrams. They feature shapes for all common date time units (month shape, year shape).
Property Editors - DIP property editors use the unit of the page's logical length.
Page Navigator - improved customization of buttons and page context menu.

The new version NOV Rich Text for .NET adds the following new features:

Text Frames - support for importing and exporting of frames in both RTF and DOCX formats.
Controllable Measurement units for Page Sizes, Indents, and others - DIP property editors use an NApplication-based unit (by default based on the current culture). This allows you to easily switch the UI of the control to use imperial (inch, dip) or metric (cm, mm) units in the UI of the control, allowing for easier localization of the control. By default the control will display units from the user's currently selected culture.

The new version of NOV includes the following new features and improvements:

New Alert NOV widget - The alert widget is a special label, which can quickly be styled via its Style and Type properties and lets developers quickly show messages, warnings and errors in their applications.
Integration with Google Drive and DropBox cloud storage.
New Editor for NColor DOM arrays - this editor allows the editing of arrays of colors, when they are exposed but the public API of any NOV control.
