Breaking Changes​

  • Category Charts have a new look & feel. The old L&F is deprecated but if needed for whatever reason, they're can be restored by doing revealSdkSettings.enableNewCharts = false.

};

ASP.NET​

  • The Reveal.Sdk.Web.AspNetCore.Trial nuget package has been deprecated and is no longer updated.

            builder
              .AddSettings(settings =>
