Major Changes:

  • new sample: DrawDemo - displays GoShape and GoFigures, a Visio-like palette and GoDraw features.

  • new sample: NodeLinkDemo - GoDiagram demo application, exhibiting a wide variety of kinds of nodes, links, and tools (DrawDemo and NodeLinkDemo were created by splitting Demo1)

  • Support for generics throughout the design and implementation (see GoDiagramGenerics for details)

  • See release nodes (WinReadme / WebReadme) for minor coding changes required by generics changes

  • GoPort has a new LinksRedirectedToSubGraphPort property that determines whether links connected to ports that are inside collapsed GoSubGraphs appear to be connected to the subgraph’s GoSubGraph.Port

  • Since IGoCollection now implements IEnumerable, you can now use LINQ on GoDiagram collections, if you are using .NET 3.5.

  • GoLayout - the switch to generic collections has improved performance of LayeredDigraphLayout (about 25% in the case of a 6000 node test)

#16

We have released 5.0.0 with support for


- VS2008 and .NET 3.5
- VS2010 and .NET 3.5 and 4.0
- VS2012 and .NET 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5.


Note that .NET 2.0 is no longer supported. Continue to use 4.2 if you need .NET 2.0.


The major new feature is support for PDF generation from diagrams.

We’ve also changed how licensing / deployment works. Gone is the Microsoft style licenses.licx and
in its place is simpler, more reliable mechanism we first developed for GoXam. (There is still a
License Manager to run and activation codes to request…) Please read the chapter about
“Deployment and Licensing” in the GoDiagram User Guide.

And there is no longer a “Pro” that contains Layout and Instruments. Everything is contained in
one product for one price. Yes, if you have an active subscription for the old “base” product,
you just got a free upgrade!

For GoDiagram Web, the supported browsers for this release are IE 8+, Firefox 14+, Apple Safari
5+ and Google Chrome 21+.

(Now that GoJS is about to ship, we're recommending that over GoWeb. Seriously... HTML5 Canvas is the future for this kind of web app. And GoJS is an amazing product. )
The bugfix list is short... and that's a good thing. Not much to fix here.
  • fix InvalidOperationException: Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be
    called on a control until the window handle has been created in
    hoverCallback when deleting GoViews.
  • (GoWeb) new GoWeb.js - minor changes for move cursor on IE

Kits are on the evaluation page now. (If you have any old email from us, a direct link to the
download page should be on that.)

What's new:
  • GoLayoutTree supports bus branching. Add GoLayoutTreeAlignment.Bus, TopLeftBus, BottomRightBus and BusBranching, plus minor bugfixes (basically all new work from GoXam was added back into GoDiagram). See the LayoutDemo sample.
  • New GoDiagram Evaluation explorer. One app to run to get access to documentation, samples, support, etc. (this cleans up the mess created by the Windows 8 Start menu)
  • New Sankey diagram sample (WinForms C#)
  • New FunctionBlock diagram sample (WinForms C#)
  • LayoutDemo supports [new Tree Layout bus options][3], nodes color coded per layer
Bugfixes:

http://www.nwoods.com/go/kits/GoDiagram6.1.zip

The zip file has all the samples and documentation. NuGet is just the DLLs and license manager.

Between CORE 3.0 and 3.1, they decided to remove the .NET 1 legacy Menu controls, and that impacted GoContextMenu and some of the samples.

Available on NuGet at NuGet Gallery | Northwoods.GoWin 6.2.0

Full kit here: http://www.nwoods.com/go/kits/GoDiagram6.2.zip

The zip file has all the samples and documentation. NuGet is just the DLLs and license manager.

Between CORE 3.1 and 5.0, they decided to remove the .NET 1 legacy StatusBar controls, and we updated the impacted samples. Also, support was removed for BinaryFormatter.Serialize. That only affected the NodeLinkDemo sample. No one should be using binary serialization anyway.
