I am pleased to announce that we have just released DevExpress Universal v18.2. As usual, Universal includes our suites for WinForms, the assorted varieties of ASP.NET, WPF, UWP, as well as DevExtreme. CodeRush Ultimate has also been updated.
For what’s new in this release, please go to this page and read all about the new features and enhancements across all the platforms and run-times. Also – a handy hint that I learned a couple of weeks ago – you can always navigate to devexpress.com/new and see what’s new in the latest version, whichever version number that happens to be.
As usual, we’ve listed the Resolved Issues introduced in this release. That page also enables you to review the changes we’ve made from any release to any other.
For every major release, no matter how hard we try and minimize the impact, some new features and enhancements are bound to cause a few breaking changes. You can read about the v18.2 breaking changes here.
Over the past year, via surveys, chatting with customers at conferences, reviewing comments and support tickets, we have concentrated hard on trying to find out what our customers want from our products going forward. Also, more than ever before, we’ve endeavored to publish relevant posts on what we are doing and how we aim to move forward. We now cover a lot of platforms with our components, and given the news from the open source community and from Microsoft (.NET Core 3, anyone?), I find we need valuable feedback from our customers more than ever.
I’d certainly like to thank everyone who provided feedback on our products throughout 2018, who used and tested the beta and provided information on the issues they found, and, of course, to all our customers who use our products every day. In my mind, it’s clear-cut: we would never be able to produce such robust and full-featured controls without all of this invaluable help. We are confident that the new controls, features, and enhancements in v18.2 will validate your trust in our products.
(PS: VCL Subscription customers: the v18.2 release is on its way…)
