We have released the new version of the Java Diagram library. Here is a brief summary of the new features:

Fluent API

Builder classes in com.mindfusion.diagramming.builders package add support for fluent programming style. Static with and instance init methods in DiagramItem, DiagramItemStyle and Layout -derived classes return a builder instance that can be used to set up respective new or existing objects.

DiagramLink improvements

• The component no longer keeps a separate segmentCount field, removing a common source of errors. The SegmentCount property now calculates its value from ControlPoints elements. The updateFromPoints(updateGroups, updateSegments) overload has been removed too.
• SegmentCount setter no longer refuses changing number of segments if auto-routing is enabled or the link is a self-loop.
• The new Spline element of LinkShape enumeration draws links as interpolating splines that pass through all of their control points:

Enum types

Old-style enumeration classes with static finals have been replaced by enum types, improving type checking and auto-completion support. This change will not affect your code if only passing enum members to methods from the API. If storing them in fields on the other hand, you must change the field type from int to respective enum type.

Several bug fixes
We have fixed a setLicenseKey problem and a bug with the SvgExporter.
