DevExtreme Blogs

We are just two months away from our next major update, v19.1. As with all the other teams, we, the ASP.NET Team, will be posting about the new features that are coming up, sharing our progress, and letting you test major new functionality before we wrap up another development cycle. Although I'll soon be posting about the new features in our existing ASP.NET toolset, in this particular post I thought I'd start with a brand new control, the DevExpress Web Diagram control.

In December 2018, we asked for your input on our development plans for 2019. We'd like to thank you for your invaluable feedback because it has certainly helped us form the DevExtreme 2019 Roadmap.

Maybe you already noticed the beta-versions alert in our DevExtreme ThemeBuilder. We have been working very hard on an improved version which makes it even more simple to create a very slick custom theme for your DevExtreme client-side app.
Whether your app is built with Angular, React, Vue, ASP.NET MVC and .NET Core or even jQuery, you can apply your theme on all of those technologies.

With version v1.10.0 of the DevExtreme Reactive components we published a Beta version of the React Chart.

Our Native React product family has a new member: a scheduler component. We released it as a CTP version with v1.10.3 of the DevExtreme Reactive components. An overview of the new component can be found here.

Great news - the DevExtreme Vue Components are now available as RTM! We have tested and finalized the functionality of our excellent Vue Components. Our support people are happy to help you with any issues you encounter and give you the help you need to use DevExtreme widgets in your Vue apps.

You can now create and use multiple DevExtreme color schemes within the same application. For instance, you can implement a dark navigation sidebar with a light content area. This feature is available in the both ThemeBuilder UI and CLI tools.

Please listen up, all you data analysts: DevExtreme now supports a Sankey diagram. This diagram displays relationships between nodes, which are technically called links. From the perspective of the data, this is often about flow, for instance of goods or services – but any type of relation between groups of subjects can be visualized by a Sankey diagram.

Customization of the DevExtreme Filter Builder has become more flexible with our v18.2 release. Based on customer requests, we added two new options that enable you to restrict the complexity of filters created by users.

Good news for React users: in our v18.2 release we include the RTM version of our DevExtreme widgets for React! Since the pre-release that came with v18.1 we have worked to test and finalize the functionality. Our support people are happy to help you with any issues you encounter and give you the help you need to use DevExtreme widgets in your React apps.

We have good news for those of you who need to update data in DevExtreme Charts dynamically. Before v18.2, live data updates reset zoom and pan parameters. With our new Visual Range support, real-time updates can be applied correctly and efficiently while the user interacts with the chart.
