We have released MindFusion.WPF Pack 2024.R1. It adds following new features and improvements:

.NET 8 support

The MindFusion.WPF Pack distribution now includes assemblies and sample projects for .NET 8. Locally installed assemblies do not appear automatically in Visual Studio toolbox at this time; you can either add references manually or through Nuget package manager.
