Version 6.0.2 adds various customer-requested features and fixes several bugs:

Preserve order in tree layout
The Balance property of TreeLayout can be set to Preserve to keep the original geometric order of child nodes when arranging them under their parent. This can be used to arrange tree branches in a specific order by first placing them in increasing horizontal or vertical positions. Another possibility is to apply TreeLayout from NodeModified handler to let users rearrange the tree branches by dragging and dropping a node.

Item rendering improvements
~ Effects such as GlassEffect and AeroEffect can now be applied to CompositeNode objects. To enable this, the IsOutline property of a BorderComponent or a ShapeComponent of the node must be enabled.
~ The last row in a TableNode will now be rendered clipped if it fits only partially inside the node, whereas in previous versions the row would not be rendered at all.
~ The HandlesStyle of a link can now be set to Invisible to stop rendering its selection handles, but still allow dragging control points.

Export improvements
~ The PaintControl event is now raised also when exporting ControlNode objects to PDF, SVG or WMF.
~ RenderOptions property added to PdfExporter, SvgExporter and WmfExporter allows controlling various aspects of exported diagrams.
~ Speed of PDF generation by PdfExporter greatly improved.

Selection improvements
~ DiagramView.Behavior can be set to SelectOnly to let users select existing items, but not modify them or draw new ones.
~ The SetsDirtyFlag property of the Selection class specified whether the Dirty flag should be set when selection changes.

Miscellaneous
~ The AllowAddChildren and AllowRemoveChildren properties of ContainerNode specify whether users are allowed to add or remove child nodes to / from the container.
~ The GetNearestBorderPoint method of DiagramNode can be used to find a point from the node's border closest to a specified point.
~ The ScrollZoneSize property of DiagramView can be used to specify the size of the area near the control edges that starts auto-scrolling.

Fixed bugs
~ Click events were doubled for ControlNode objects added from code.
~ A crash when using the OverLongestSegment link text style without setting diagram's BackBrush.
~ Controls hosted inside ControlNode objects did not hide when their Layer becomes invisible.
~ Ruler alignment guides did not set the Dirty flag.
~ ZTop and ZBottom methods did not work correctly with layers.
