The new version adds the following customer-requested features:
*** Export/import improvements ***
- Now the VisioImporter component can import UML Activity diagrams from Visio files.
- The ExportTablesAsGroups property added to VisioExporter lets you get better results when exporting Table nodes. If that property is enabled, the VisioExporter creates a rectangular shape for each cell, and group the cells of each table into a Visio compound shape corresponding to the table.
*** Arrow improvements ***
- Arrows comprising straight segments, i.e. ones whose Style is set to Polyline or Cascading, can use arcs to join their adjacent segments. To enable that feature, set RoundedArrows to true. Use RoundedArrowsRadius to set the radius of the joining arcs.
- If ArrowCrossings is set to Arcs and an arrow should jump over several other arrows at a short distance, there is a single long arc displayed over the arrows instead of several adjacent short arcs.
*** Miscellaneous ***
- The ToolTipDelay property lets you set how much time should pass before a tool-tip appears.
- FitSizeToText lets you preserve the original width or height of a box.
- Now the SerializeTag event lets you use a .NET XmlWriter instance to represent Tag data using embedded XML elements. To enable that, set the CustomTagSerialization member of XmlWriter.Options to true. When loading a diagram, enable the CustomTagSerialization property of XmlReader.Options to get a .NET XmlReader instance in the DeserializeTag event that lets you load the Tag data.
- AllowIncomingArrows and AllowOutgoingArrows properties added to the Node class.
- The LayeredLayout algorithm has been improved. Now it produces better results for less time.
- Hit-testing speed improved.
- Table drawing speed improved.
