Version 2024.R1 is a maintenance release containing several fixes and customer-requested features:

.NET 8 support
The MindFusion.WinForms 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 add the controls manually or through Nuget package manager.

MindFusion.Diagramming

Drag-and-drop improvements

• DiagramView now displays a ghost image of nodes dragged from NodeListView. Set the DragIndicatorOpacity property to set the image opacity. Set DragIndicator to MouseCursor to revert to old behavior.
• Set DropAlignment to specify placement of dropped node relative to mouse pointer.

Miscellaneous

• Set the AutoDeleteLinks property to false to prevent deleting links along with a node they connect, and disconnect the links instead.
• Fixed in-place edit for NodeLabels outside of node's boundaries.
• Fixed repaint glitches of NodeLabels outside of node's boundaries.
• New LinkDensity partitioning method added to CompositeLayout, divides the graph depending on ratio of nodes to links in subgraphs.
• Fix for CellTextBrush not being serialized in JSON format.
• Fixed flickering of view borders when BorderWidth is greater than 1.
• Improved export of link texts by SvgExporter.
• Nodes rendered inside NodeListView better match its MeasureUnit.

MindFusion.Spreadsheet

• Formula bar preserves original text when evaluation is disabled.
• Set the ShowLeadingApostrophes property to stop hiding escaping leading apostrophe (used to treat remaining cell content as text).

MindFusion.Charting

• Fixed overflow error when drawing axis labels for large coordinates (moved from int to long type).
