      <title>DevExtreme — June 2026 Roadmap (v26.1 - Angular, React, Vue, jQuery &amp; ASP.NET Core)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In this blog post, we&amp;#39;ll review the major features we expect to ship in our mid-year release (v26.1 - June 2026). These features apply to both DevExtreme JavaScript components (Angular, React, Vue, jQuery) and DevExtreme-based ASP.NET MVC/Core controls. To help us fine tune our release plans, please respond to the survey questions embedded within this post to share feedback. Alternatively, submit a support ticket via the &lt;a href="https://supportcenter.devexpress.com/ticket/create" target="_blank"&gt;DevExpress Support Center&lt;/a&gt;. We will be happy to follow up. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2026.1%20Roadmap/Roadmap.png" alt="DevExtreme v26.1 Roadmap" style="width:960px;height:500px;"&gt;
&lt;div class="Note"&gt;The information contained within this Roadmap details our current/projected development plans. Please note that this information is being shared for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and does not represent a binding commitment on the part of Developer Express Inc. This roadmap and the features/products listed within it are subject to change. You should not rely on or use this information to help make a purchase decision about Developer Express Inc products.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Roadmap Updates &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This roadmap will be regularly updated to reflect development progress. As we get closer to the release, we expect to add more items and modify the status of planned features. Look for the following labels next to each feature: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt; - Feature is scheduled but not yet in development. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt; - Under active development. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in Beta v26.1&lt;/span&gt; - Will be available in our v26.1 beta release. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v26.1&lt;/span&gt; - Fully implemented and available in v26.1. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;a name="grids-ai-assistant"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;DataGrid &amp;amp; TreeList — AI Assistant&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With our v26.1 release, we will extend the AI-powered capabilities of both the DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/DataGrid/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;DataGrid&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TreeList/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;TreeList&lt;/a&gt;. We plan to introduce a DevExtreme Chat-based AI assistant that will allow you to use natural language to interact with DataGrid/TreeList. The DataGrid/TreeList AI assistant will be able to complete the following actions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sort, filter, search, and group data.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resize, reorder, fix/unfix, and show/hide columns.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Change pagination settings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In our last release (v&lt;strong&gt;25.2&lt;/strong&gt;), we introduced a standalone &lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/subscriptions/whats-new/#js-speechtotext" target="_blank"&gt;Speech To Text&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;component&lt;/strong&gt;. By incorporating this component into our Chat component (planned for 26.1), you will be able to add Speech to Text to your next DevExtreme-powered AI Assistant as well. This will eliminate the need for manual configuration and improve accessibility when working with DataGrid/TreeList (by offering an additional interface when interacting with UI elements).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2026.1%20Roadmap/DataGrid-and-TreeList%20%E2%80%93%20AI%20Assistant@2x.png" style="width:780px;height:572px;" alt="DevExtreme DataGrid with the expected AI Assistant interface enabled. It is a Popup window on top of the grid that allows you to type in custom requests regarding grid&amp;#39;s data."&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This feature is particularly well suited for the following usage scenarios:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Large Datasets&lt;/strong&gt;: Use the power of AI to browse large data sets. Apply complex filter values with natural language.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Complex Grid Configurations&lt;/strong&gt;: Allow users to specify complex display preferences quickly. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accessibility-first Applications&lt;/strong&gt;: Allow users to interact with your application in a manner that is most appropriate for each specific situation: while at their desk, or on the go (when their hands are busy and they require voice commands to interact with your app). &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Replicable Configurations&lt;/strong&gt;: Apply the same prompt to recreate complex grid configurations across sessions. Reduce time spent on tedious layout adjustments.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;a name="grids-validation-message"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;DataGrid &amp;amp; TreeList — Persistent Validation Messages in Editors&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We expect to introduce new APIs that will allow validation messages to remain visible even when data editors lose focus (similar to the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxTextBox/Configuration/#validationMessageMode" target="_blank"&gt;validationMessageMode=&amp;#39;always&amp;#39;&lt;/a&gt; in components such as our &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TextBox/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;TextBox&lt;/a&gt;). These APIs will apply to all available editing modes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Chat Enhancements&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;a name="chat-stt"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Speech To Text&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We expect to integrate our new &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/SpeechToText/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;SpeechToText&lt;/a&gt; component into our &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Chat/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Chat&lt;/a&gt; component&amp;#39;s input area for faster, hands-free communication.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2026.1%20Roadmap/Chat%20-%20Speech%20to%20text@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Chat will display a &amp;quot;Start Dictation&amp;quot; button in its input field." style="width:780px;height:363px;"&gt;
&lt;a name="chat-streaming"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Message Streaming&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We expect to add support for message streaming within DevExtreme Chat. The Chat component will be able display responses progressively as data arrives rather than after the request is fully completed. This feature will improve perceived performance and the overall user experience for DevExtreme-powered AI assistants, chatbots, and long-running operations, making conversations feel more dynamic and responsive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="chat-tool-calling"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Tool Call Visualization&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will introduce the ability to display AI tool/function calls in the message body. Such tools/functions can be declared locally within the app or available via MCP servers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This visualization will increase clarity and transparency. Chat users will be able to see which tools were used, their order, and parameters alongside AI response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2026.1%20Roadmap/Chat%20-%20Tool%20Calling@2x.png" alt="Chat - Tool Calling" style="width:790px;height:782px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Scheduler Enhancements&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;a name="scheduler-snap-modes"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Appointment Snap Modes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Scheduler/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Scheduler&lt;/a&gt; will include a new appointment snap mechanism. The following modes will be available: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;always&lt;/strong&gt; - an appointment always stretches to cell borders.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;auto&lt;/strong&gt; - an appointment is stretched to cell border only if the distance from the cell border to the edge of an appointment is less than half of the cell width.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;never&lt;/strong&gt; - appointments are proportional to their duration.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2026.1%20Roadmap/Scheduler%20-%20SnapToCellsMode@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Scheduler Ui displaying 3 mentioned snap modes." style="width:780px;height:759px;"&gt;
&lt;a name="scheduler-time-overlapping"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Handle Appointment Time Overlapping&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Managing appointment overlapping will be easier with our next release. We will add public APIs to obtain an array of appointments for a specific range. You will be able to implement the following scenarios using these APIs:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prevent Time Conflicts&lt;/strong&gt;: Notify users about a scheduling conflict. Restrict adding, editing, or moving appointments if the selected time slot is already occupied.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suggest Available Time Slots&lt;/strong&gt;: Automatically suggest the nearest available time when a selected slot is unavailable.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Handle Recurring Appointment Conflicts&lt;/strong&gt;: Detect and manage conflicts for individual occurrences within recurring appointments.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Execute Overlap Rules&lt;/strong&gt;: Apply different overlap rules depending on the appointment category.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enforce Buffer Time Between Appointments&lt;/strong&gt;: Require a configurable gap before and after appointments to avoid tight scheduling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;a name="scheduler-hide-days"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Hide Specific Days &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will be able to hide specific days in week and month views, for example, weekends or custom day sets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2026.1%20Roadmap/Scheduler%20-%20Hide%20day@2x.png" alt="Scheduler - Hide days" style="width:780px;height:551px;"&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;UI/UX and API Enhancements&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;a name="treeview-disabled-node-selection"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;TreeView — Prevent Selection for Disabled Nodes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With v26.1, you will be able to prevent &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxTreeView/Configuration/#selectNodesRecursive" target="_blank"&gt;recursive selection&lt;/a&gt; state changes for &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxTreeView/Node/#disabled" target="_blank"&gt;disabled TreeView nodes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2026.1%20Roadmap/TreeView%20-%20Provide%20a%20way%20to%20control%20ability%20to%20select%20nodes@2x.png" alt="TreeView - Provide a way to control ability to select nodes (disable nodes selection)" style="width:788px;height:546px;"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will also add the ability to expand/collapse disabled parent nodes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="date-formats"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Application-Wide Date Formats&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will introduce new APIs designed to specify a single date format for all DevExtreme components within your application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="globalization-locales"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Globalization — Separate Text and Date/Number Locales&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In v26.1, you will be able to specify different locales for application text values and dates/numbers. You will be able to change languages without affecting date/number formatting and vice-versa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="accessibility"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Accessibility&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We expect to improve accessibility for the following DevExtreme UI components: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/DataGrid/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;DataGrid&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TreeList/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;TreeList&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Scheduler/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Scheduler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Form/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Form&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Popup/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Popup&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Popover/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Popover&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Tooltip/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Tooltip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/RadioGroup/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;RadioGroup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will also improve color schema in our Material themes to comply with accessibility contrast requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Additionally, in v26.1, we expect to introduce screen reader support for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/aspnetcore/rich-text-editor/" target="_blank"&gt;Rich Text Editor for ASP.NET Core&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our long-term goal is to address all limitations identified in our DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/products/net/accessibility.xml#devexpress-accessible-ui" target="_blank"&gt;Accessibility Conformance Reports&lt;/a&gt; (ACRs).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="migration-away-from-common-js"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Migration Away from CommonJS&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of our ongoing modernization efforts, we will eliminate use of CommonJS. We plan to remove all CommonJS modules and imports in DevExtreme packages and source code. This change will optimize DevExtreme package size.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please share your thoughts on this transition in the survey below. Your feedback will help us identify potential migration challenges and make the transition as smooth as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="survey-common-js"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div data-survey-id="fa04a453-b6a8-499a-91df-eb8c52aa8991" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name="angular-22"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Angular 22&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;Angular&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The release of Angular 22 is &lt;a href="https://angular.dev/reference/releases" target="_blank"&gt;planned&lt;/a&gt; for May 2026. As part of our commitment to same-day support for new versions, DevExtreme v26.1 will offer full compatibility once Angular 22 is available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Angular&amp;#39;s &lt;a href="https://angular.dev/reference/releases#actively-supported-versions" target="_blank"&gt;official support schedule&lt;/a&gt;, Angular 19 will reach end-of-support in May 2026. With v26.1, we will also update our minimum supported Angular version to 20.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="net"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;ASP.NET Core&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;UI Template Kit Update&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;ASP.NET Core&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.devexpress.com/AspNetCore/405322/devextreme-based-controls/get-started/project-template-kit" target="_blank"&gt;DevExpress UI Template Kit&lt;/a&gt; includes application templates for ASP.NET Core. The templates help you start new projects quickly (templates address predefined application usage scenarios, which you can tailor to meet specific business requirements).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In our upcoming v26.1 release, ASP.NET Core application templates will be more flexible, with a built-in navigation area and a set of pre-configured views (with controls such as DataGrid).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="survey"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Your Feedback Matters&lt;/h2&gt;

      <title>DevExtreme — Year-End Roadmap v25.2 (React, Angular, Vue, jQuery &amp; ASP.NET Core)</title>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;UPDATE:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/subscriptions/whats-new/#devextreme" target="_blank" style="color:#115bc0;"&gt;What&amp;#39;s New in DevExtreme v25.2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this blog post, I’ll review major features we expect to ship in our year end release (v25.2 - December 2025). These features apply to both DevExtreme JavaScript/TypeScript&amp;nbsp;(React, &lt;span&gt;Angular,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Vue, jQuery) and DevExtreme-based ASP.NET Core/ASP.NET MVC5 Controls. To share feedback, please respond to the &lt;a href="#survey"&gt;survey questions&lt;/a&gt; embedded within this post or submit a support ticket via the &lt;a href="https://supportcenter.devexpress.com/ticket/create" target="_blank"&gt;DevExpress Support Center&lt;/a&gt;. We will be happy to follow up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/rm.png" alt="DevExtreme Roadmap v25.2" style="width:1560px;height:813px;"&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Live Roadmap Updates&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This roadmap will be regularly updated to reflect development progress. As we get closer to the release, we expect to add more items and modify the status of planned features. Look for the following labels next to every feature:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt; — Feature is scheduled but not yet in development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt; — Under active development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in Beta v25.2&lt;/span&gt; — Will be available in our v25.2 beta release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="completed"&gt;Coming in v25.2&lt;/span&gt; — Will be included in the final v25.2 release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;p class="tags"&gt;&lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt; — Fully implemented and available in v25.2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;AI-Powered Extensions&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;a name="new-speechtotext-component"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;New SpeechToText Component&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our next major update (v25.2) will include a new SpeechToText component. This component will convert speech to text in real-time using &lt;a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechRecognition" target="_blank"&gt;Web Speech APIs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.devexpress.com/subscriptions/i/25.2/speech-to-text.gif" alt="New SpeechToText component in action"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SpeechToText will enhance accessibility of DevExtreme-powered applications, improve user-efficiency, and support new interaction scenarios (such as hands-free voice input). You will be able to use it for:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chats or any prompt-based interface&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Search components&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Populating app forms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SpeechToText will support multiple languages and listening states. You will also be able to customize the component button (icon, text, and styling mode).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="datagrid-treelist-ai-column"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;DataGrid/TreeList – AI Column&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With v25.2, DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/DataGrid/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;DataGrid&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TreeList/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;TreeList&lt;/a&gt; will be able to display AI-generated columns. DataGrid/TreeList will populate the AI column with auto-generated data based on  component data and a custom prompt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/AI%20Column@2x%20(1).png" alt="DevExtreme DataGrid with an AI column" style="width:1560px;height:848px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Potential usage scenarios include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data Enrichment.&lt;/strong&gt; Add missing contextual information without modifying the underlying dataset.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Categorization/Tagging. &lt;/strong&gt;Assign categories or tags based on row information.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prediction &amp;amp; Estimation. &lt;/strong&gt;Generate estimated delivery times, sale insights, or performance ratings (based on AI model).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;a name="form-ai-smart-paste"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Form – AI Smart Paste&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will integrate AI-powered Smart Paste to DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Form/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Form&lt;/a&gt; and enhance traditional copy-paste workflows. When a user copies unstructured text (from spreadsheets, documents, emails, web pages, etc.) and activates &lt;strong&gt;Smart Paste&lt;/strong&gt;, AI will analyze clipboard content and populate each form field with relevant data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.devexpress.com/subscriptions/i/25.2/js-smart-paste.gif" alt="DevExtreme Form - Smart Paste feature"&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Chat-Related Enhancements&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;a name="file-attachments"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;File Attachments&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With v25.2, users will be able to attach files when sending messages through DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Chat/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Chat&lt;/a&gt;. This feature will be of value for solutions that incorporate support conversations, team collaboration, and peer-to-peer communications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/File%20Attachments@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Chat with files attached" class="small" style="width:1560px;height:640px;"&gt;

&lt;a name="speech-to-text"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Speech to Text&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Posponed to v26.1&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We plan to integrate our new SpeechToText component into Chat for faster, hands-free communication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/chat-speech-to-text@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Chat showcasing the speech-to-text feature in a dialog" style="width:1560px;height:720px;"&gt;

&lt;a name="empty-view-template"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Empty View Template&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With v25.2, you will be able to customize the Chat&amp;#39;s empty view using our template engine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/empty-view@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Chat with customized empty view. Includes bubbles with prompt messages for AI assistant" style="width:1560px;height:1080px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Usage scenarios include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Onboarding &amp;amp; First-Time User Guidance. &lt;/strong&gt;Display messages or tips to help new users start a conversation. You can also include UI elements that suggest prompts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preliminary Information. &lt;/strong&gt;Display&amp;nbsp;important information before a conversation begins, such as usage instructions or data processing disclaimers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Context-Aware Messaging. &lt;/strong&gt;Display dynamic content based on user context (for example, “Ask me anything about your current order”) for a more personalized experience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Branded Experience. &lt;/strong&gt;Add brand visuals, mascots, or tone to engage users.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;a name="datagrid-treelist-taxbox-columns"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;DataGrid/TreeList – TagBox Columns&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Postponed&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In v25.2, we will add a built-in &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TagBox/Getting_Started_with_TagBox/" target="_blank"&gt;TagBox&lt;/a&gt; column to both the DevExtreme DataGrid and TreeList components. These columns allow users to select multiple values when editing cell content or specify multiple search criteria within the Filter Row.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/TreeList%20%E2%80%93%20TagBox%20Columns@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme TreeList component with a TagBox column - multiple choice enabled"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This feature enhances usability when working with multiple categories/related entities (such as tags, status info, or addresses).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="scheduler-appointment-form-redesign"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Scheduler – Appointment Form Redesign&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In v25.2, we will redesign the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Scheduler/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Scheduler&lt;/a&gt; appointment edit form based on modern UI/UX standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/Scheduler%20-%20Edit%20Appointment%20Form@2x.png" alt="Scheduler&amp;#39;s new appointment form"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The updated form will be fully responsive (across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices). We will also improve accessibility to align with current compliance standards.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;UI/UX and API Enhancements&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;a name="collection-components-performance-optimizations"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Collection Components – Performance Optimizations&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Accordion/Getting_Started_with_Accordion/" target="_blank"&gt;Accordion&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Tabs/Getting_Started_with_Tabs/" target="_blank"&gt;Tabs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TabPanel/Getting_Started_with_TabPanel/" target="_blank"&gt;TabPanel&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/List/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;List&lt;/a&gt; components re-render all items after each reordering operation. With v25.2, if &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxAccordion/Configuration/#repaintChangesOnly" target="_blank"&gt;repaintChangesOnly&lt;/a&gt; is enabled, re-rendering will be limited to affected items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This change will increase rendering speed and reduce DOM updates, especially in large collections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="drop-down-editors-fieldtemplate-redesign"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Drop-Down Editors – fieldTemplate Redesign&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/SelectBox/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;SelectBox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TagBox/Getting_Started_with_TagBox/" target="_blank"&gt;TagBox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/ColorBox/Getting_Started_with_ColorBox/" target="_blank"&gt;ColorBox&lt;/a&gt;, and  &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/DropDownBox/Getting_Started_with_DropDownBox/" target="_blank"&gt;DropDownBox&lt;/a&gt;, we expect to replace &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSelectBox/Configuration/#fieldTemplate" target="_blank"&gt;fieldTemplate&lt;/a&gt; with two new template options: before and after. These options will allow you to insert custom markup before/after the input field without recreating input logic (no need to define full TextBox component configuration). The &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;fieldTemplate&lt;/code&gt; option will be deprecated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/Dropdown@2x.png" alt=""&gt;

&lt;a name="loadindicator-new-animation-type"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;LoadIndicator – New Animation Type&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With our next release, the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/LoadIndicator/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;LoadIndicator&lt;/a&gt; component will support sparkle animation. The new &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;animationType&lt;/code&gt; option will allow you to switch between circle and sparkle animation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.devexpress.com/subscriptions/i/25.2/loading.gif" alt="DevExtreme LoadIndicator - Circle and Sparkle animations"&gt;

&lt;a name="calendar-today-button-text"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Calendar – Today Button Text&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will be able to specify custom text for the Today button.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/Custom%20Text@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Calendar - Today button custom text" style="width:1560px;height:930px;"&gt;

&lt;a name="tabpanel-new-keyexpr-property"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;TabPanel – New keyExpr Property&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will introduce a &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;keyExpr&lt;/code&gt; property for the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/TabPanel/Getting_Started_with_TabPanel/" target="_blank"&gt;TabPanel&lt;/a&gt; component to simplify access to data items.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="font-stack-update"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Font Stack Update&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DevExtreme default font stack will be updated to better align with the native typography of modern operating systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With v25.2, DevExtreme-powered applications will automatically use system fonts as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SE Pro on macOS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Roboto on Android&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ubuntu on Linux&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Segoe UI on Windows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This change ensures consistent appearance across platforms, enhances text rendering, and improves performance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="accessibility"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Accessibility&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We expect to improve accessibility for the following DevExtreme UI components:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Popup/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Popup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/HtmlEditor/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;HTML Editor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Scheduler/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Scheduler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our long-term goal is to address all limitations identified in our DevExtreme Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Long-Term Initiatives&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our roadmap lists key features planned for v25.2. Some ongoing initiatives will require more than one release to complete, as we undertake major architectural modifications and extended testing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will share progress on our long-term efforts throughout our v25.2 release cycle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notable initiatives include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="devexpress-mcp-server-for-ai-powered-documentation-access"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;DevExpress MCP Server for AI-Powered Documentation Access&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="https://docs.devexpress.com/GeneralInformation/405551/help-resources/dev-express-documentation-mcp-server-configure-an-ai-powered-assistant"&gt;Available in Preview&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will introduce an MCP server that connects GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other AI tools directly to our online help system. The server will provide instant access to over 300,000 help topics via natural language queries within your IDE. This will allow you and AI coding agents (such as Claude Code) to access up-to-date DevExpress documentation directly within the AI assistant&amp;#39;s context.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/winforms/20251008-Win-Roadmap-252/dx-mcp-docs-assistant.png" alt="MCP Server for AI-Powered Documentation Access" style="width:862px;height:391px;"&gt;

&lt;a name="ai-powered-migration"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3 id=""&gt;AI-Powered Migration&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;React&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;Angular&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;Vue&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;jQuery&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="development"&gt;In Development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To simplify version upgrades, we will introduce an MCP service that will list changes in each release and update applications accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will begin implementing MCP in v25.2. Once ready, it will help you with the following tasks:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resolve breaking changes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Transition to&amp;nbsp;new APIs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remove deprecated APIs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apply strict type checking from new types&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Identify and address emerging issues&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;a name="survey-migration"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div data-survey-id="76ebc4ce-570e-49d7-a3ed-b890407eff6b" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a name="design-system-and-figma-ui-kit"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Design System and Figma UI Kit&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Platforms&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="not-started"&gt;Planned&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are developing a unified design system (a common set of CSS variables for all components) to ensure visual consistency for all DevExpress products and platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this release cycle (v25.2), we will integrate the design system into DevExtreme. The system will introduce style management/customization flexibility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We plan to implement a new Fluent 2.0 theme, based on design tokens and unified CSS variables. All current DevExtreme themes will remain the same (no breaking changes). We expect to introduce additional themes in future release cycles (once design system integration is complete). Needless to say, we will ensure a smooth transition to new themes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will also create a Figma-based UI Kit and gradually include all DevExtreme components within it. The first version of the UI Kit will ship in our v25.2 release cycle, followed by updates in later versions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/Figma@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme UI Kit Fluent theme"&gt;

&lt;a name="survey-design"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div data-survey-id="5cbc5718-f562-4db3-a7fa-d83a9b1d4721" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a name="angular-21"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Angular 21&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;Angular&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The release of Angular 21 is &lt;a href="https://angular.dev/reference/releases" target="_blank"&gt;planned&lt;/a&gt; for November 2025. As part of our commitment to same-day support for new versions, DevExtreme v25.2 will offer full compatibility with Angular 21.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Angular’s &lt;a href="https://angular.dev/reference/releases#actively-supported-versions" target="_blank"&gt;official support schedule&lt;/a&gt;, Angular 18 will reach end-of-support on November 21, 2025. With v25.2, we will also update our minimum supported Angular version to 19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="net"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;.NET&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;.NET 10 Support&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;ASP.NET Core&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have started testing DevExtreme ASP.NET Core controls against .NET 10 previews. We expect to support .NET 10 across our DevExtreme component libraries in v25.2.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;ASP.NET Core UI Template Gallery&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;ASP.NET Core&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
        &lt;span class="completed"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/DevExpress/devextreme-asp-ui-template-gallery"&gt;Available in the GitHub repository&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We introduced the UI Template Gallery for DevExtreme in our &lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/subscriptions/new-2022-1.xml#angular" target="_blank"&gt;v22.1 release&lt;/a&gt; cycle. In subsequent versions, we expanded the gallery to include templates for &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/React/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/" target="_blank"&gt;React&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Angular/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/" target="_blank"&gt;Angular&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Vue/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/" target="_blank"&gt;Vue&lt;/a&gt;. This gallery showcases common application usage scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response to customer requests, v25.2 will include a UI Template Gallery for ASP.NET Core.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.2%20Roadmap/ASP%20Template@2x.png" alt="ASP.NET Core UI Template Gallery" style="width:1560px;height:1004px;"&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;ASP.NET Core Source Builder&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;ASP.NET Core&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;span class="completed"&gt;Released in v25.2&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In v24.2, DevExpress Source Builder &lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/subscriptions/new-2024-2.xml#devexpress-source-builder" target="_blank"&gt;was introduced&lt;/a&gt; as part of the DevExpress Unified Installer. This tool rebuilds source code for .NET Core product libraries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With v25.2, our Source Builder will support DevExtreme ASP.NET Core.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Changes and Future Plans: New Angular Configuration Components</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/20250617-devextreme-new-angular-components/facebook.png" alt="DevExtreme Angular New Configuration Components v24.2+"&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;ve worked with the DevExtreme Angular components in the past, you likely encountered configuration components — those with &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxo-&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-&lt;/code&gt; prefixes. These helper components simplify widget setup, align with Angular architectural principles, and enhance readability. They are especially useful for nested options — for example, configuring paging options for &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dx-data-grid&lt;/code&gt; using the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxo-pager&lt;/code&gt; component.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-html"&gt;&amp;lt;dx-data-grid  [dataSource]=&amp;quot;dataSource&amp;quot;&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;dxo-pager 
        [visible]=&amp;quot;true&amp;quot; 
        [showPageSizeSelector]=&amp;quot;true&amp;quot; &amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;/dxo-pager&amp;gt; 
&amp;lt;/ dx-data-grid&amp;gt; &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    They are also useful for setting up collection elements, such as defining toolbar items in &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dx-toolbar&lt;/code&gt; using its child components like &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-item&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-html"&gt;&amp;lt;dx-toolbar&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;dxi-item location=&amp;quot;before&amp;quot; widget=&amp;quot;dxButton&amp;quot; &amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;/dxi-item&amp;gt; 
&amp;lt;/dx-toolbar&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Let&amp;#39;s take a closer look at how the legacy Angular configuration components work, focusing on &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-item&lt;/code&gt; as an example. This component is &amp;quot;universal&amp;quot;. It is used not just within &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dx-toolbar&lt;/code&gt;, but also in many other DevExtreme components (such as Form and List). 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    While this approach offers consistency (the same component can be used in multiple places), it does have drawbacks. &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-item&lt;/code&gt; requires entirely different sets of options depending on the parent component, complicating precise typing. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The following screenshot illustrates how an IDE presents the same general property list for &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-item&lt;/code&gt; in two different contexts. For instance, the expected properties for a &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Angular/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxForm/Item_Types/GroupItem/" target="_blank"&gt;form’s group item&lt;/a&gt; differs significantly from those used in a &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Angular/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxGantt/Configuration/contextMenu/items/" target="_blank"&gt;Gantt chart’s context menu item&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/20250617-devextreme-new-angular-components/ide-comparison.png" alt="A side-by-side comparison of IDE tooltips for &amp;lt;dxi-item&amp;gt; used in two different components — one showing suggestions relevant to a Form’s group item, and the other showing suggestions for a Gantt chart’s context menu item" style="width:2880px;height:960px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    One of our main priorities is delivering full and robust &lt;b&gt;TypeScript support&lt;/b&gt;. We&amp;#39;re committed to ensuring that all DevExtreme components are strictly typed and follow modern TypeScript practices. This approach improves code completion in IDEs, allows early error detection, and increases confidence during refactoring. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    As you might expect, enforcing strict typing in configuration components has proven to be a complex challenge. Adjusting typings for existing &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxo-&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-&lt;/code&gt; components can affect many projects, potentially requiring significant changes after an upgrade to a new version of DevExtreme. Furthermore, the generic nature of our current configuration architecture makes it difficult to achieve the desired level of type precision. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    New Configuration Components: What&amp;#39;s Changed and Why It Matters
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    With DevExtreme v24.2, we introduced a &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Angular/New/24_2/#new-configuration-components" target="_blank"&gt;new set of configuration components&lt;/a&gt; (built from the ground up). New components are strictly typed, can be seamlessly integrated into Angular applications, and were designed to improve the overall developer experience. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Each UI component ships with its own dedicated set of configuration components. This marks a major step forward in predictability and type safety. Here&amp;#39;s what&amp;#39;s changed and how it benefits you: 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Clearer and More Context-Aware Configuration Components
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Configuration component names now include their parent component&amp;#39;s name. This improves code readability, prevents naming collisions, and makes templates more self-explanatory. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    For example, &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-item&lt;/code&gt; is now: 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-toolbar-item&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dx-toolbar&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-form-item&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dx-form&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-context-menu-item&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dx-context-menu&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    This naming convention helps IDEs recognize component context and gives developers a clearer view of the structure, making complex configurations easier to navigate and maintain. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Strict Typing and a Better Developer Experience
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    New configuration components now include only the properties that are relevant to their specific parent component. This eliminates instances wherein the IDE suggests a long, generic list of unrelated options. For example, &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;dxi-data-grid-column&lt;/code&gt; reveals only properties applicable to DataGrid columns. As a result, IDE suggestions are now far more accurate and useful: 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/20250617-devextreme-new-angular-components/new-components.png" alt="Old and new components side-by-side"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Most new configuration properties are &lt;b&gt;strictly typed, and others will be typed in the future&lt;/b&gt;. This means that any misuse of a component&amp;#39;s API will be caught during compilation (long before it can cause issues at runtime).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/20250617-devextreme-new-angular-components/strictly-typed.png" alt="Compiling apps with old and new configuration components: the new ones throw TS error" style="width:2800px;height:1100px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    What&amp;#39;s Next: Full adoption of the new configuration components
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    New configuration components have significant advantages over the old architecture: they are robust, modern, error-resistant, and better aligned with TypeScript&amp;#39;s type system. We are planning a phased transition of our entire DevExtreme Angular ecosystem to this new configuration model. To ensure a smooth and predictable migration for users, please consider the following timeline/key milestones: 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
    DevExtreme v25.1 Release 
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We will start updating all demo examples and help topics to use our new model.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We officially recommend that all new Angular applications adopt our new configuration model from the start.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;All features introduced in the v25.1 release require new configuration components.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
    DevExtreme v25.2 Release 
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Using legacy configuration components will trigger &lt;b&gt;deprecation warnings&lt;/b&gt;, indicating that these components are obsolete. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The legacy configuration system will no longer be updated with new features. As a result, any new functionality introduced in 25.2 and future releases will &lt;b&gt;require&lt;/b&gt; the use of new configuration components.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We will provide documentation, migration guidelines, and helper tools to make the transition to our new architecture as smooth as possible.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
    DevExtreme v26.1 Release 
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    We will continue to &lt;b&gt;support those users migrating to our new configuration components&lt;/b&gt;. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has the resources and guidance needed to complete the transition smoothly. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
    DevExtreme v26.2 Release 
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;b&gt;All legacy configuration components will be removed&lt;/b&gt; from our codebase. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Again, our goal is to make the transition as clear, manageable, and secure as possible. We will provide plenty of time, tools, and guidance to support this change. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    We believe that strict typing is not just a trend — it&amp;#39;s essential for scalable, predictable, and safe development. As always, we welcome your thoughts, comments, and suggestions:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-survey-id="2e9669b5-2861-407f-8ee9-44745a8b6d27" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>DevExtreme JavaScript Chat Meets DevExpress BI Dashboard — AI-powered Data Analysis</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In this post, I&amp;#39;ll describe how you can leverage the capabilities of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/jQuery/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Chat/Overview/MaterialBlueLight/" target="_blank" title="JavaScript/jQuery Chat - Overview"&gt;DevExpress JavaScript Chat (dxChat)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/jQuery/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Chat/Overview/MaterialBlueLight/" target="_blank" title="JavaScript/jQuery Chat - Overview"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;component and incorporate an AI Assistant within the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/products/net/dashboard/" target="_blank" title="DevExpress BI Dashboard"&gt;DevExpress BI Dashboard&lt;/a&gt;. As you&amp;#39;ll see below, the&lt;code&gt;dxChat&lt;/code&gt; component is connected to &lt;strong&gt;Open&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AI &lt;/strong&gt;hosted in Microsoft Azure and uses the &lt;a href="https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/overview" target="_blank" title="Assistants API"&gt;Assistants API&lt;/a&gt; for data analysis purposes&amp;nbsp;(users can analyze&amp;nbsp;dashboard data conversationally).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;How It Works&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the DevExpress BI Dashboard loads (or whenever data changes), it automatically exports aggregated data to a temporary data snapshot. Behind the scenes, the AI Assistant processes Dashboard exports (triggered by each data update), sends updated files to the OpenAI Assistant, and generates real-time responses to user queries based on Dashboard data. The implementation follows the &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;bring your own key&amp;quot; principle&lt;/strong&gt;, requiring an active &lt;strong&gt;OpenAI&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Azure OpenAI subscription&lt;/strong&gt; to access the AI service.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Implementation Details:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Custom Dashboard Item&lt;/strong&gt;: The AI assistant is implemented as a &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://docs.devexpress.com/Dashboard/117546/web-dashboard/advanced-customization/create-a-custom-item" title="Create a Custom Item for the Web Dashboard"&gt;custom web Dashboard item&lt;/a&gt; using the &lt;code&gt;dxChat&lt;/code&gt; widget. You can add it from the toolbox, like any other Dashboard item.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Context-Aware Responses&lt;/strong&gt;: The AI Assistant reviews/analyzes displayed data. Changes to Dashboard parameters, filters, or data sources automatically refresh the Assistant context.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dynamic Data Interaction&lt;/strong&gt;: Click “Select Widget” in the chat header to narrow the Assistant’s focus to a single Dashboard element.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/analytics/25.1/AI/bi-dashboard-ai-assistant.png" alt="AI Assistant in DevExpress Web Dashboard" style="width:3032px;height:1568px;"&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Review our GitHub Example&lt;/h2&gt;

Here&amp;#39;s a look at new features/capabilities included in our Early Access Preview (EAP) build (the EAP is available to active DevExpress Universal or DXperience subscribers). As always, if you discover issues with our EAP build, please submit a support ticket at the &lt;a href="https://supportcenter.devexpress.com/ticket/create" target="_blank"&gt;DevExpress Support Center&lt;/a&gt; or use the embedded survey to submit direct feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20EAP/EAP%20-%20social.png" alt="DevExtreme v25.1 Early Access Preview for Angular, React, Vue, jQuery, and ASP.NET Core" style="width:3840px;height:1960px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Installation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you own an active &lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/buy/net/" target="_blank"&gt;Universal or DXperience&lt;/a&gt; subscription, you can download our EAP build via the DevExpress &lt;a href="https://www.devexpress.com/ClientCenter/DownloadManager/" target="_blank"&gt;DownloadManager&lt;/a&gt; or appropriate &lt;a href="https://nuget.devexpress.com/packages" target="_blank"&gt;NuGet packages&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To begin using the DevExtreme v25.1 EAP build, simply install target framework related NPM packages (marked with the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;25.1-next&lt;/code&gt; tag). Use one of the following commands to proceed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-cmdline"&gt;npm install devextreme@25.1-next --save-exact 

npm install devextreme-angular@25.1-next --save-exact // Angular installation

npm install devextreme-react@25.1-next --save-exact // React installation

npm install devextreme-vue@25.1-next --save-exact // Vue installation&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;div class="Note"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Early Access and CTP builds are provided solely for early testing purposes and are not ready for production use. This build can be installed side by side with other major versions of DevExpress products. Please backup your project and other important data before installing Early Access and CTP builds.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
        Early Access Preview build is considered pre-release software, and you will see a &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/Common/Utils/Errors_and_Warnings/#W0022" target="_blank"&gt;W0022&lt;/a&gt; error in your browser console. 
    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This EAP may not include all features/products we expect to ship in our v25.1 release cycle. As its name implies, the EAP offers an early preview of what we expect to ship in two months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name="stepper"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;New Stepper Component&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Frameworks&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Early Access Preview includes a new Stepper UI component. DevExtreme Stepper displays progress as users move through a sequence. It&amp;#39;s ideal for multi-step processes, such as populating&amp;nbsp;forms, onboarding, or app&amp;nbsp;wizards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20EAP/stepper.gif" alt="DevExtreme Stepper" style="width:1283px;height:347px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DevExtreme Stepper supports the following capabilities/options:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;DataSource integration&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Horizontal or vertical layout&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Navigation modes (step through sequentially or skip)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pre-selected steps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Custom icons or text for step indicators&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Step titles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Visual step validation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optional and disabled steps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keyboard navigation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Internationalization (right-to-left)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can specify whether Stepper is horizontal or vertical using the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;orientation&lt;/code&gt; property. Change navigation mode to linear or non-linear using the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;linear&lt;/code&gt; property. Preselect an item by index using the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;selectedIndex&lt;/code&gt; option. The &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;selectOnFocus&lt;/code&gt; option determines if items are selected automatically when focused via the keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20EAP/Stepper%20-%20Orientation@2x.png" alt="Stepper orientation modes: vertical and horizontal" style="width:1640px;height:792px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can customize each step using the following settings:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;icon&lt;/code&gt;: sets an icon inside the step indicator.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;text&lt;/code&gt;: incorporates text within the step indicator.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;title&lt;/code&gt;: places a caption next to the step.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;isValid&lt;/code&gt;: visually indicates validation state.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;optional&lt;/code&gt;: visually marks as optional.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;disabled&lt;/code&gt;: disables the step.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;hint&lt;/code&gt;: adds an in-browser hint.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="Note"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Example: &lt;a href="https://codepen.io/EugeniyKiyashko/pen/jEOzBQG" target="_blank"&gt;jQuery&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If using&amp;nbsp;Angular to evaluate/test our EAP, we recommend the use of our &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Angular/New/24_2/#new-configuration-components" target="_blank"&gt;new configuration components&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-html"&gt;&amp;lt;dx-stepper&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;dxi-stepper-item text=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/dxi-stepper-item&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;dxi-stepper-item text=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot; [optional]=&amp;quot;true&amp;quot; &amp;gt;&amp;lt;/dxi-stepper-item&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;dxi-stepper-item icon=&amp;quot;gift&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/dxi-stepper-item&amp;gt; 
&amp;lt;/dx-stepper&amp;gt; &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;div data-survey-id="b8353e57-24b9-41d7-8b30-c651a781f09f" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name="scheduler-toolbar"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Scheduler – Toolbar Customization&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;Angular, React, jQuery, Vue&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This EAP introduces a customizable toolbar to the DevExtreme Scheduler (available for Angular, React, jQuery, and Vue). This new capability can be used to add&amp;nbsp;custom items like a Today button, a new appointment button, or a custom resource selector to our built-in toolbar. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20EAP/Scheduler%20-%20Toolbar%20Customization@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Scheduler with customized toolbar" style="width:2120px;height:1170px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Specify the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;toolbar&lt;/code&gt; property to include desired items. You can set the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;location&lt;/code&gt; for each item (much like our standalone &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/jQuery/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Toolbar/Getting_Started_with_Toolbar/" target="_blank"&gt;Toolbar&lt;/a&gt;). For DevExtreme components, specify associated&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;options&lt;/code&gt;. To introduce unique elements, use a custom &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;template&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-js" data-line="5, 19, 21"&gt;$(&amp;#39;#scheduler&amp;#39;).dxScheduler({ 
    // ... 
    toolbar: { 
        items: [ 
            // DevExtreme components: dxButton 
            { 
                location: &amp;#39;before&amp;#39;, 
                locateInMenu: &amp;#39;auto&amp;#39;, 
                widget: &amp;#39;dxButton&amp;#39;, 
                options: { 
                    text: &amp;#39;Today&amp;#39;, 
                    stylingMode: &amp;#39;outlined&amp;#39;, 
                    type: &amp;#39;normal&amp;#39;, 
                    onClick() { 
                        scheduler.option(&amp;#39;currentDate&amp;#39;, new Date()); 
                    }, 
                }, 
            }, 
            // Predefined toolbar&amp;#39;s elements 
            &amp;#39;dateNavigator&amp;#39;, 
            // Custom element 
            { 
                template: &amp;#39;&amp;lt;div&amp;gt;Custom Item&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;#39;, 
            }, 
        ] 
    } 
}); &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;Predefined items include &amp;quot;dateNavigator&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;viewSwitcher&amp;quot;. If you do not specify the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;toolbar&lt;/code&gt; explicitly, the default toolbar with these two items is displayed on-screen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also switch button order&amp;nbsp;used in the “dateNavigator” and decide which buttons to display on-screen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;toolbar: { 
    items: [ 
        { 
           location: &amp;#39;before&amp;#39;, 
           name: &amp;#39;dateNavigator&amp;#39;,   
           options: { 
               items: [&amp;#39;dateInterval&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;prev&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;next&amp;#39;],   
           }, 
        }, 
    ] 
} &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;The example below also demonstrates use of DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Button/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Button&lt;/a&gt; (switch to Today) and &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/SelectBox/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;SelectBox&lt;/a&gt; (choose resources) in the toolbar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="Note"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Example: &lt;a href="https://codepen.io/Ember2890/pen/MYWVooa" target="_blank"&gt;jQuery&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If using Angular to test our EAP, you must&amp;nbsp;use our &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Angular/New/24_2/#new-configuration-components" target="_blank"&gt;new configuration components&lt;/a&gt; when working with toolbar items:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-html" data-line="2"&gt;&amp;lt;dxo-scheduler-toolbar&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item  
        name=&amp;quot;dateNavigator&amp;quot;  
        location=&amp;quot;before&amp;quot;  
        [options]=&amp;quot;{items: [&amp;#39;dateInterval&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;prev&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;next&amp;#39;]}&amp;quot;&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;/dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item&amp;gt; 
&amp;lt;/dxo-scheduler-toolbar&amp;gt; &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;div data-survey-id="39aa8afc-4f64-481a-a2a9-6a8b2aef2f9f" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a name="map-routes"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Map – Custom Route Modes&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;All Frameworks&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this EAP, DevExtreme Map allows you to set custom route options for various transportation types.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Azure map &amp;#39;car&amp;#39; route mode:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/custom%20routes-default@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Map: Azure map car route mode" style="width:1200px;height:660px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Azure map &amp;#39;truck&amp;#39; route mode:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/custom%20routes-truck@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Map: Azure map truck route mode" style="width:1200px;height:660px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that each Map provider (&lt;a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/route/get-route-directions?view=rest-maps-1.0&amp;amp;viewFallbackFrom=rest-maps-2024-04-01&amp;amp;tabs=HTTP#travelmode" target="_blank"&gt;Azure&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions#TravelModes" target="_blank"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/v8-web-control/modules/directions-module/routemode-enumeration" target="_blank"&gt;Bing&lt;/a&gt;) has its own set of route modes. Pass a string with the desired route name to the &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;routes[].mode&lt;/code&gt; property to test this feature. For instance, you can switch default &amp;#39;car&amp;#39; route type in Azure maps to a custom route mode like &amp;#39;bicycle&amp;#39; or &amp;#39;truck&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-survey-id="8f0a04dc-1ec7-4d30-8144-7a4db6c4ae60" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a name="react-vite"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Create React Applications with Vite&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;React&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Previously, DevExtreme CLI used &lt;a href="https://create-react-app.dev/" target="_blank"&gt;create-react-app&lt;/a&gt; (CRA) as a build tool for React applications. In February 2025, CRA was &lt;a href="https://react.dev/blog/2025/02/14/sunsetting-create-react-app" target="_blank"&gt;deprecated&lt;/a&gt;. With this EAP, we switched from CRA to &lt;a href="https://vite.dev/" target="_blank"&gt;Vite&lt;/a&gt; when creating DevExtreme React applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When creating a new app, DevExtreme CLI now allows you to choose between JS transpilers: &lt;a href="https://babeljs.io/" target="_blank"&gt;Babel&lt;/a&gt; (used previously as the default) and &lt;a href="https://swc.rs/" target="_blank"&gt;SWC&lt;/a&gt;. To test this capability, select transpiler type in a terminal:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20EAP/command-line.png" alt="DevExtreme CLI: a &amp;quot;Specify desired transpiler type&amp;quot; prompt in the command line" style="width:1400px;height:400px;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or you can add a &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;--transpiler=swc&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code class="language-js"&gt;--transpiler=babel&lt;/code&gt; argument to the first command:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-cmdline"&gt;npx devextreme-cli@1.11.0-alpha.0 new react-app app-name --transpiler=swc 

or 

npx devextreme-cli@1.11.0-alpha.0 new react-app app-name --transpiler=babel &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;After creating a project, run the following commands:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-cmdline"&gt;cd app-name  
npm run dev &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to Vite, we plan to add an option for &lt;a href="https://nextjs.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Next.js&lt;/a&gt; build in our official v25.1 release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-survey-id="0216573a-01d0-449e-a96b-6974ce221803" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>What's coming in v25.1 </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;As we look ahead to the DevExpress v25.1 release anticipated early&amp;nbsp;June, there is a lot to get excited about across our product line-up. From UI enhancements and performance boosts to serious AI integration and accessibility upgrades, the focus this cycle is clear: smarter, faster, and more inclusive development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;WinForms&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WinForms gets a major boost in v25.1 with features that elevate productivity and polish. The new RoundedSkinPanel component as well as existing Ribbon control adjustments will make it easier for developers to replicate modern Microsoft Fluent 2 UI like Outlook or Teams. Accessibility improvements have been made across the board, especially in Report Viewers and Dashboards, ensuring better screen reader and keyboard navigation support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Template Kit for .NET 8+ gets new Project Templates for WinForms and WPF to build secure frontends with a built–in login form and a Middle-Tier Security server for the backend. The new Application Builder project template helps you integrate multiple views or forms (aka Item Templates) in a single go, making app scaffolding much quicker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the AI front, semantic search lands in the Data Grid, allowing users to query data using natural language. Reporting tools are now more intelligent with automatic localization, natural language to SQL conversion, and AI-powered error suggestions through the Report Design Analyzer. The PDF Viewer also joins the AI party with summarization and translation features to boost document usability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a detailed look at what&amp;#39;s new for WinForms check out the &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/winforms/archive/2025/02/18/winforms%20june%202025%20roadmap%20v25%201%20.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;team blog&lt;/a&gt;, if you want to check out some of the features the EAP is now available, &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/winforms/archive/2025/04/02/winforms%20early%20access%20preview%20v25%201.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;details can be found here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;WPF&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the deprecation of BinaryFormatter in .NET 9, we&amp;#39;ve updated our data processing logic to ensure smooth drag-and-drop clipboard operations. We have designed AI-powered Semantic Search and Smart Paste features to boost user productivity. To enhance AI agent integration, we&amp;#39;re also introducing a new Chat Control built with Blazor Hybrid. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re introducing a new Project Upgrader utility tailored for WPF applications. This tool helps modernize legacy projects with fewer headaches, automating common update tasks and ensuring smoother migrations to newer frameworks. For those targeting&amp;nbsp;cross-platform environments, we&amp;#39;ve migrated a set of demos to Avalonia XPF a framework that allows existing&amp;nbsp;WPF apps to run on&amp;nbsp;macOS and Linux.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To help build apps even faster, we&amp;#39;ve enhanced our &lt;a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DevExpress.devexpress-template-kit-for-visual-studio" target="_blank"&gt;DevExpress Template Kit&lt;/a&gt;. You can now chose from 30+ pre-designed views, each with MVVM and dependency injection support. There is also a new template with built-in login form and a middle-tier security server to simplify client-server app development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Accessibility remains a key focus, with updates to screen reader support and keyboard navigation, making apps more inclusive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Full details can be found on the &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/wpf/archive/2025/02/19/wpf-june-2025-roadmap-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;WPF team blog&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and EAP to some of these features is now available, &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/wpf/archive/2025/04/11/wpf-early-access-preview-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;see this blog post&lt;/a&gt; for details.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;VCL&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;VCL is taking a big step toward modernization with a new CTP for hybrid reporting that seamlessly integrates the DevExpress JavaScript Report Designer and Viewer. This bridges native VCL apps with modern web-based design capabilities via WebView and ASP.NET Core. All the required .NET and JS dependencies are embedded into a single self-contained EXE file transparently/magically and developers can still use Delphi/C++ for many reporting customizations  - this maintains one of the key advantages of VCL as a platform.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Performance improvements include better rendering for skinned forms and SVGs, plus easier application-wide skinning for the Bar Manager, Layout Control, Status and Navigation Bars. Accessibility updates target commonly used controls like the Layout Control and Data Grid.  AI-powered enhancements are being researched for future releases—think smart paste, summarization, and translation. We&amp;#39;re also introducing improved state management in data-aware controls, so developers can persist things like node focus, selection, and scroll positions more easily.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These exciting features and more in detail at the &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/vcl/archive/2025/02/26/vcl-june-2025-roadmap-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;VCL Team Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Blazor&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blazor continues to evolve rapidly. We’re retiring legacy components like DxDataGrid and introducing a new .NET Upgrade Assistant plugin to help transition projects smoothly, automatically identifying and resolving breaking changes. The Fluent theme becomes fully production-ready, complete with light/dark modes, custom accents, and scalable icons. We’re reducing payload size by modularizing CSS and exploring the removal of Bootstrap to improve load performance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our AI Chat component sees major improvements: file attachments and&amp;nbsp;prompt suggestions. PDF export support arrives for Grid and TreeList, along with new UI elements like the TreeList search box and &amp;#39;Select All&amp;#39; in List Box. Plus, our new App Showcase demo illustrates how to build slick, modern business apps using Blazor and DevExpress controls featuring authentication for demonstration purposes, reusable code blocks and uses the new Fluent theme with light and dark modes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Full details on the &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/aspnet/archive/2025/02/20/blazor-june-2025-roadmap-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Blazor Team Blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;DevExtreme&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;In our upcoming v25.1 release, we will introduce two new UI components: &lt;strong&gt;CardView&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Stepper&lt;/strong&gt;. CardView offers a visually engaging way to present business data using card layouts, complete with built-in features such as sorting, filtering, editing, and responsive design. Stepper is ideal for multi-step processes like onboarding flows or form wizards, and includes full customization options for each step.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are expanding our AI capabilities with the addition of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AI-assisted text editing&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the DevExtreme HTML Editor. Users will be able to proofread, summarize, and modify content using smart commands directly within the editor&amp;#39;s toolbar. This enhancement helps streamline content creation and delivers a more intelligent user experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Significant enhancements are coming to our Chat UI component. Users will be able to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;edit and delete messages&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;post-submission, and a simplified approach to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;image rendering&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;within messages will improve integration with AI image-generation services. These updates will enable richer, more dynamic chat experiences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The DevExtreme Scheduler will feature a fully customizable integrated toolbar, allowing developers to combine built-in elements, DevExtreme components, and custom templates for maximum flexibility. Meanwhile, the DevExtreme Map component will support&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;custom route modes&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;tailored to various transport types, such as &amp;#39;truck&amp;#39; or &amp;#39;bicycle&amp;#39;, depending on the map provider.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DevExtreme CLI will support the creation of React apps using&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Vite or Next.js&lt;/strong&gt;, aligning with current industry standards. For Angular, CLI-generated apps will transition to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;standalone components&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We continue to enhance&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;accessibility&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in core components like the DataGrid and Scheduler. These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to delivering a modern, inclusive, and consistently improving development experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/javascript/archive/2025/02/21/devextreme-roadmap-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Read the Team Blog &lt;/a&gt;for full details.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Document Processing Libraries&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This release brings a major milestone: the introduction of a new PowerPoint API. Developers can now generate and manipulate presentation files alongside our existing Word, PDF, and Excel support. The API supports creating slides, inserting images and shapes enabling automated generation of polished, professional presentations.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Extending the PDF Document API will see the introduction of a compression engine to optimize size of your output file by compressing streams, form elements, fonts and graphics as well as a new Redaction API allowing you to permanently remove sensitive details in your document with overlays featuring custom text or graphics.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OLE objects support is coming to the Spreadsheet Document API allowing import, viewing and management of linked objects via code.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not to be forgotten, the Word Processing Document API will see support for proper line breaks between characters in Chinese, Japanese and Korean texts, this provides enhanced document rendering and readability. Improvements to the rendering and PDF export for documents containing mixed Right-to-Left (RTL) and Left-to-Right text blocks. When exporting to PDF, content controls (Plain text boxes, check boxes and popups) are generated as their corresponding PDF AcroForm fields. 
We’re also introducing new API’s into the Document Comparison API allowing Word documents to be compared identifying changes with the ability to generate revision-based outputs highlighting differences.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Together, these updates significantly expand the range and quality of document-based functionality developers can deliver in their apps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More details available on the &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/office/archive/2025/02/20/document-processing-libraries-office-file-api-june-2025-roadmap-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Teams Blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;XAF &amp;amp; Web API&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;XAF Blazor enhanced accessibility with keyboard shortcut support for menu commands. The DxGridListEditor continues to get updates too: banded layout, new contextual menus, better handling of splitter position, virtual scrolling, tooltips, etc. Both XAF Blazor and WinForms welcome new built-in TagBox and Checked ComboBox Property Editors, Enumeration Property Editor filtering, and extended multi-tenancy support (to handle shared data scenarios more gracefully). Our revamped Outlook-Inspired Demo will also include the new Chart Property Editor and integrations for more Blazor controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For EF Core, we’re adding optimistic concurrency, a new Clone Object Module, and automated EF migrations to simplify database management. For both EF Core and XPO ORM, the Template Kit now automatically includes all required NuGet packages and connection plumbing for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Azure, etc. A project template for hybrid desktop apps via Electron.NET is also on the horizon, offering the same UX across Windows, macOS, and Linux (powered by XAF Blazor and Middle-Tier Security Server).
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
For non-XAF application scenarios, our backend Web API Service gets some long-requested features: support for OData Deep Insert/Update, and batch operations. The Middle-Tier Security server is now also easier to use for external EF Core-based consumers - all making our framework much more robust for integration-heavy applications.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No amount of summarizing could do justice to the updates, it&amp;#39;s better you &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/xaf/archive/2025/02/17/xaf-v25-1-june-2025-roadmap-cross-platform-net-app-ui-and-web-api-service.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;read the Team Blog here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Reporting &amp;amp; BI Dashboard&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DevExpress Reports introduces line spacing control and time zone conversion, letting you display UTC data in the viewer&amp;#39;s local context. MongoDB makes its way into the Data Source Wizard, and layout design becomes easier with new &amp;quot;Snap to Grid&amp;quot; behavior.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AI localization and intelligent error suggestions enhance productivity, while accessibility improvements roll out across viewers for all platforms. We’re also working on expanding IDE support with better performance in Visual Studio and exploring Rider integration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the BI Dashboard side,&amp;nbsp;&lt;code&gt;DateOnly&lt;/code&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;code&gt;TimeOnly&lt;/code&gt;&amp;nbsp;support improves filtering and parameter control. Dashboards can now prompt for parameters before loading, and accessibility gets a boost on both WinForms and Web platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The team have detailed the &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/reporting/archive/2025/02/18/devexpress-reports-amp-bi-dashboard-june-2025-roadmap-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;roadmap here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and EAP access is available for licensed users, for more information see &lt;a href="https://community.devexpress.com/Blogs/reporting/archive/2025/04/04/devexpress-reports-amp-bi-dashboard-early-access-preview-v25-1.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;this blog post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you’re working in desktop, web, or hybrid environments, DevExpress v25.1 brings powerful tools and thoughtful improvements to help you build more capable, intelligent, and accessible apps faster than ever.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>DevExtreme – Create Flexible Layouts with the DevExtreme Splitter Component </title>
      <description>&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com:443/blogs/javascript/20250306-devextreme-splitter/FLEXIBLE_LAYOUT.png" alt="Create flexible layouts with the DevExtreme Splitter component" style="width:1920px;height:900px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When building an app, static layouts may not be enough. By using a &amp;quot;splitter&amp;quot; component, you can convert static page layouts to one that adapts to the needs of each individual user.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you&amp;#39;ll soon see, the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Splitter/Getting_Started_with_Splitter/" target="_blank"&gt;DevExtreme Splitter UI component&lt;/a&gt; was designed to split a page layout into multiple resizable panes (page sections).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this blog post, I&amp;#39;ll explore a simple yet highly popular layout-related use case: resizing layout &amp;quot;sections&amp;quot; to display more business data (and of course, I&amp;#39;ll be using the DevExtreme Splitter to do so). Below is the final page layout. Click the gif to see it in full screen:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com:443/blogs/javascript/20250306-devextreme-splitter/Splitter-gif.gif" alt="A split layout with a grid on the left and a chart on the right" style="width:2180px;height:860px;"&gt;
&lt;div class="Note"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Select one of the following supported dev frameworks to test the example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/p3smx5?file=%2Fsrc%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.html" target="_blank"&gt;Angular&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/wxslnx?file=%2FApp.tsx" target="_blank"&gt;React&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/fv9m5d?file=%2FApp.vue" target="_blank"&gt;Vue&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="https://codepen.io/16adianay/pen/GgKjGBj" target="_blank"&gt;jQuery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Implementation Details&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The DevExtreme Splitter divides a layout &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Splitter/Getting_Started_with_Splitter/#Configure_Panes" target="_blank"&gt;into panes&lt;/a&gt;. These panes can be configured with the following basic settings:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Option&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Default value&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/items/#resizable" target="_blank"&gt;resizable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Users can modify pane size.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/items/#collapsible" target="_blank"&gt;collapsible&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Users can collapse the pane.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/items/#size" target="_blank"&gt;size&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Initial pane size.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;undefined&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/items/#minSize" target="_blank"&gt;minSize&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Minimum pane size.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;undefined&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/items/#maxSize" target="_blank"&gt;maxSize&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Maximum pane size.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;undefined&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/items/#collapsedSize" target="_blank"&gt;collapsedSize&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pane size when collapsed.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;code&gt;undefined&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DevExtreme UI components rely on Item declarations for nested configurations (including panes). To include a component in a Splitter pane, you’ll need to create a separate &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/items/#template" target="_blank"&gt;template&lt;/a&gt; or use the following method (declare directly using Item markup).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-html"&gt;&amp;lt;Splitter onResize={onResize} id=&amp;quot;splitter&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;auto&amp;quot;&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;Item minSize={250}&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;DataGridComponent ref={grid} /&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;/Item&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;Item minSize={250} size=&amp;quot;55%&amp;quot;&amp;gt; 
        &amp;lt;ChartComponent /&amp;gt; 
    &amp;lt;/Item&amp;gt; 
&amp;lt;/Splitter&amp;gt; &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This example adds the DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/React/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/DataGrid/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;DataGrid&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/React/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/Chart/Overview/" target="_blank"&gt;Chart&lt;/a&gt; components to the pane.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this particular instance, users can view hidden DataGrid columns by expanding the Splitter&amp;#39;s leftmost pane. For DataGrid adaptive mode, enable the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/jQuery/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxDataGrid/Configuration/#columnHidingEnabled" target="_blank"&gt;columnHidingEnabled&lt;/a&gt; option. Call the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/jQuery/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxDataGrid/Methods/#updateDimensions" target="_blank"&gt;updateDimensions&lt;/a&gt; method within the onResize function to adapt container size changes (for additional information in this regard, please refer to our &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/jQuery/Documentation/Guide/UI_Components/DataGrid/Columns/Adaptability/" target="_blank"&gt;Adaptability&lt;/a&gt; help topic).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-js"&gt;const onResize = useCallback(() =&amp;gt; { 
    cancelAnimationFrame(animationRefFrame.current); 
    animationRefFrame.current = requestAnimationFrame(() =&amp;gt; 
        grid.current.instance().updateDimensions() 
    ); 
}, [grid]); &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Customize Splitter Appearance&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you set up a pane layout, our Splitter displays separator bars between panes. You can customize this visual element to match relevant design requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For instance, you can modify &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/jQuery/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxSplitter/Configuration/#separatorSize" target="_blank"&gt;separator bar width&lt;/a&gt; in pixels. You can also modify component appearance with custom CSS rules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this sample, we used custom CSS to modify both the Splitter and its panes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class="language-css"&gt;// modifies the Splitter separator bar: 
.dx-resize-handle { 
    border-radius: 50px; 
} 

// rounds the corners of the pane content: 
.dx-datagrid-headers.dx-datagrid-nowrap.dx-bordered-top-view { 
     border-radius: 8px 8px 0 0 !important; 
} 
.dx-gridbase-container &amp;gt; .dx-bordered-bottom-view { 
     border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px !important; 
} &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the following image illustrates, you can personalize the Splitter separator as requirements dictate (through settings, CSS styles, etc).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com:443/blogs/javascript/20250306-devextreme-splitter/Splitter%20types%201.png" alt="3 types of the splitter bar appearance: resizable only (a handle icon appears), resizable and collapsible (the collapse arrows are added to the handle icon), and a custom handle (fully customized handle using CSS)" style="width:986px;height:380px;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;UI Templates for Additional Layout Strategies&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This sample layout was inspired by the DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/AnalyticsDashboard/MaterialBlueLight/Compact/" target="_blank"&gt;UI Template Gallery&lt;/a&gt;. Our UI Template Gallery (for Angular, React, and Vue) includes app templates for a variety of page layouts/usage scenarios including the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/CrmContactList/MaterialBlueLight/Compact/" target="_blank"&gt;CRM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/PlanningTaskList/MaterialBlueLight/Compact/" target="_blank"&gt;Planning&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/AnalyticsSalesReport/MaterialBlueLight/Compact/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dashboards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/SignInForm/MaterialBlueLight/Compact/" target="_blank"&gt;Authentication forms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/UserProfile/MaterialBlueLight/Compact/" target="_blank"&gt;User profiles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you&amp;#39;re building a customer management system, a project planning tool, or user authentication flows, UI templates provide a solid foundation that you can easily modify to address specific business requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Your Feedback Counts&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please take a moment and share your thoughts/requirements with us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-survey-id="b67beff0-5b6f-4778-93fd-74df9f5f5d42" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    In our next major update (v25.1, set for release in June 2025), we expect to ship our new CardView UI component. As you can see in the following image, you can use the DevExtreme CardView to display business data using a &amp;quot;card&amp;quot; UI metaphor (a visually engaging alternative to traditional grid views).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/Cardview@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme CardView component: cards with employees " style="width:2632px;height:2096px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The DevExtreme CardView will ship with the following built-in data management capabilities:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorting&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Paging&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Column reordering&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Column visibility control&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Editing&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Filtering&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Searching&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Data selection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Each card within the CardView will be fully customizable, with UI elements such as toolbars, covers, and footers (allowing you to adapt layouts as requirements dictate).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    CardView card layouts will be fully responsive, will support multiple screen sizes, and will ship with two layout options:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Automatic Layout:&lt;/b&gt; The CardView will determine the optimal number of cards per row and associated size. When resized, the CardView will dynamically modify its layout, recalculating the number of cards per row and their dimensions.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fixed Number of Cards per Row:&lt;/b&gt; You will be able to specify the exact number of cards displayed within a layout. When resized, card sizes will change but the number of cards per row will remain the same.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Stepper
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    v25.1 will also ship with a new Stepper UI component. As you can see in the following image, our Stepper can be used to describe/detail progress as users navigate through a defined sequence. Stepper will work especially well for multi-step processes like filling forms, onboarding flows, or wizards.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/Stepper%20(Light%20and%20Dark)@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Stepper component: steps for checkout" style="width:1800px;height:832px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    You will be able to customize the appearance of individual steps and modify component settings to address specific usage scenarios.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    AI-powered Extensions
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    In our last major update (v24.2, released Dec 2024), we began work on key AI Integrations. As you may know, part of these integrations included the release of the DevExtreme &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Chat/AIAndChatbotIntegration/" target="_blank"&gt;Chat UI component&lt;/a&gt;. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    In our next release, we will incorporate AI-powered text editing into the DevExtreme HTML Editor. Users will be able to apply actions to selected content (such as proofreading, summarizing, expanding text, etc) and you will be able to add a custom command to execute a specific request to your selected AI service.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Our new AI-powered Extensions will be accessed through a dedicated button in the HTML Editor’s toolbar.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/Html-ai@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme HTML Editor with built-in AI commands" style="width:1600px;height:934px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    Chat Enhancements
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Editing and Deleting Messages
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    We expect to update our Chat UI component in our next major update and allow users to edit/delete messages once they’ve been sent.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/Editing@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Chat: edit and delete icons above a message" class="small" style="width:2320px;height:772px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    DevExtreme Chat is a client-side component that requires a backend solution. Message editing and delete operations will include relevant UI elements for end users and APIs to modify rendered messages. To edit and remove messages from a data source, you will need to use &lt;a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API" target="_blank"&gt;Push API&lt;/a&gt;s.   
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Image Rendering
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    In v24.2, the DevExtreme Chat component shipped with custom message content support, including charts and images. To use this feature, you were required to override the entire message bubble layout using the &lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxChat/Configuration/#messageTemplate" target="_blank"&gt;messageTemplate&lt;/a&gt; property.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    With v25.1, we will simplify configuration when displaying images within messages.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/Chat%20Images%20(sbs)@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Chat: a chatbot sends 2 images" style="width:2320px;height:1880px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    You will be able to easily render an image received in responses. For example, if you use &lt;a href="https://openai.com/index/dall-e-3/" target="_blank"&gt;DALL-E&lt;/a&gt; or a similar AI service to generate pictures, you can set up image rendering using our Chat component.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    Scheduler – Toolbar Customization
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    In v25.1, the DevExtreme Scheduler will include a customizable integrated toolbar.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Configuration options will include:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Choosing from predefined elements:&lt;/b&gt; Select and arrange built-in elements as needed.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Adding DevExtreme components:&lt;/b&gt; Include and configure DevExtreme components like Button or Checkbox in the toolbar.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Inserting custom elements:&lt;/b&gt; Define templates for custom elements within toolbar items for a curated experience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    For instance, in the screenshot below, our new toolbar includes two custom buttons: &amp;quot;Today&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;New event&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/Scheduler%20-%20Toolbar@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Scheduler with a custom toolbar" style="width:1692px;height:930px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    Map – Custom Route Modes
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    DevExtreme Map will allow you to define custom route modes for different transportation types. Each Map provider (&lt;a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/route/get-route-directions?view=rest-maps-2024-04-01&amp;amp;tabs=HTTP#travelmode" target="_blank"&gt;Azure&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions#TravelModes" target="_blank"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/v8-web-control/modules/directions-module/routemode-enumeration" target="_blank"&gt;Bing&lt;/a&gt;) offers unique predefined route modes. You will be able to specify the desired route type as a string, and DevExtreme Map will display it accordingly.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    For instance, in addition to a standard &amp;#39;car&amp;#39; route in Azure maps, you will be able to define custom route modes like &amp;#39;bicycle&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;truck&amp;#39;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Azure map &amp;#39;car&amp;#39; route mode:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/custom%20routes-default@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Map: Azure map car route mode" style="width:1200px;height:660px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Azure map &amp;#39;truck&amp;#39; route mode:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/javascript/2025.1%20Roadmap/custom%20routes-truck@2x.png" alt="DevExtreme Map: Azure map truck route mode" style="width:1200px;height:660px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    Accessibility
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    We expect to address a range of accessibility issues in both the DevExtreme &lt;b&gt;DataGrid&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Scheduler&lt;/b&gt;. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    DevExtreme CLI
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Create a Standalone Angular Application
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    Angular introduced &lt;a href="https://angular.dev/guide/components#imports-in-the-component-decorator" target="_blank"&gt;standalone&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;components in v14. In v19, default components created with &lt;a href="https://angular.dev/tools/cli" target="_blank"&gt;Angular CLI&lt;/a&gt; are now standalone. To match this trend, we will transition from modules to standalone components in DevExtreme CLI Angular applications.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Create React Applications with Vite and Next.js
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;span&gt;As you may already know, the&amp;nbsp;create-react-app (CRA) utility - a key resource for React projects - was &lt;a id="menurlbv" href="https://react.dev/blog/2025/02/14/sunsetting-create-react-app" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;recently deprecated&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;With DevExtreme v25.1, you will be able to select between &lt;a href="https://vite.dev/" target="_blank"&gt;Vite&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://nextjs.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Next.js&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(as alternatives to CRA) when creating a React application using DevExtreme CLI. Whether you need Vite’s speed and simplicity or Next.js’ advanced features and scalability, this update will offer more options to match your project’s requirements.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    ASP.NET Core
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
    Rich Text Editor – Zoom
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="tags"&gt;
    &lt;span class="platform"&gt;ASP.NET and Blazor Subscription&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Rich Text Editor&amp;#39;s built-in Ribbon will include a UI to specify zoom level for the current document.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img class="small" src="https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/aspnet/v25.1/rich-zoom.png" alt="rich text editor zoom"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will also be possible to control the current zoom level and its maximum/minimum values using the Rich Text Editor&amp;#39;s API.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;a name="survey"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
    Your Feedback Matters
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div data-survey-id="79e889d0-35bd-4e51-a9c4-dc33bf02d2b5" data-survey-auth-required="false"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>DevExtreme React —  Gatsby and Next.js</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We recently updated the following &lt;a href="https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs"&gt;Gatsby&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href="https://nextjs.org/docs"&gt;Next.js&lt;/a&gt;-related help topics on our website.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.devexpress.com:443/blogs/javascript/20241015-devextreme-gatsby-nextjs/React@2x.png" alt="Build an App with Gatsby or Next.js" style="width:800px;height:375px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;DevExtreme React + Next.js&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next.js allows you to choose between Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Static Site Generation (SSG), and client-side rendering. As such, Next.js is an ideal framework for sites that include both static and dynamic content (such as e-commerce sites or dashboards).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="Note"&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are new to DevExtreme or considering it for a future BI/Dashboard&amp;nbsp;project, be sure to check out our intuitive&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/React/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Templates/AnalyticsDashboard/MaterialBlueLight/Compact/"&gt;Dashboard UI templates&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/React/Documentation/Guide/Common/Integration_Guides/Create_a_DevExtreme_application_with_Next.js/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Create a DevExtreme-powered website/application with Next.js&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;DevExtreme React + Gatsby&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gatsby primarily focuses on SSG, performance,&amp;nbsp;and SEO (especially for content-centric websites such as blogs and product promotion/marketing).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="Note"&gt;If you are building a product promotion/marketing webpage and want to engage customers directly, take a moment to review the capabilities of the new DevExtreme&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://js.devexpress.com/React/Demos/WidgetsGallery/Demo/Chat/Overview/MaterialBlueLight/"&gt;Chat component&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(set for release in December 2024).&lt;/div&gt;
