As you may already know, our most recent update includes column sizing support for the React Grid and scrolling enhancements for our Virtual Table plugin.

The new Animation plugin for the React Chart enables update transition animations. Once you add the plugin to your chart configuration, animations are automatically shown on data updates.

You can now update parts of DevExtreme Data Forms efficiently, without affecting unchanged elements. New rendering logic helps you optimize use cases where you dynamically add, remove, show and hide items at runtime.

You can now use an async validation rule to execute field validation logic on a server. Implement the function validationCallback to return a Promise (or the jQuery equivalent).

We added new functionality to the DevExtreme Floating Action Button: dxSpeedDialAction now supports label, visible and index options. The direction option is available for the floatingActionButtonConfig.

2020 is right around the corner and we need your help to both shape and define next year’s roadmap and want to hear from you. Please take a moment to review the features below and cast your vote for the capabilities you consider most important for your development needs.

The recent blog post DevExtreme DataGrid and TreeList - Reordering Records/Nodes and More described the new drag & drop features we integrated in the Data Grid and Tree List widgets. This functionality is based on the new Draggable and Sortable components, which you can also use to implement drag & drop for your own application.

DevExtreme Visualization widgets now support custom templates for Chart Annotations, Legend items, Tooltip content and the center region of Pie and Donut charts. The template system is the same that other DevExtreme widgets use, but custom templates for the Visualization widgets should use SVG markup instead of HTML. Note that Tooltip content is an exception and should be rendered using HTML.

The DevExtreme File Manager widget now supports customization of the built-in toolbar and context menu. You can populate the item collections with standard and user-defined command items, and configure settings to change their appearance and behavior.

Good news about the React Scheduler: we published the first release.

DevExtreme now includes the Draggable and Sortable widgets as a shared drag & drop API. They standardize drag & drop functionality for other widgets in the DevExtreme suite and provide common customization options.
