We are excited to announce significant performance improvements for Lazy load grouping with sorting functionality. These improvements are particularly beneficial in scenarios involving multiple columns for grouping or sorting large datasets in a grid. Below are the performance metrics comparing the previous release with the current 2024 Volume 2 release for 100,000 records across 5 columns:
Action | Old release | Current 2024 Volume 2 release |
---|---|---|
Single column grouping | 10000 ms to 20000 ms | 300 ms to 600 ms |
Multiple column grouping (3) | Page unresponsive | 300 ms to 600 ms |
Single column sorting | Above 20000 ms | 250 ms to 500 ms |
Multiple column sorting (3) | Page unresponsive | 250 ms to 500 ms |
The latest update to our Image Editor significantly improves the annotation feature. Users can now draw multiple annotations simultaneously, enhancing creative flexibility. Furthermore, every action, including customizations, will be tracked in the undo/redo collection, ensuring a seamless user experience and making it easier to experiment with different designs.
We are excited to introduce z-order support in the Image Editor, a powerful tool that allows users to adjust the positioning of annotations. This feature is particularly useful for designing personalized templates like greeting cards or posters, where managing the layering of multiple annotations is crucial for a polished final product.

The Query Builder component now includes a drag-and-drop feature, allowing users to reposition rules or groups effortlessly within the Query Builder. This enhancement provides a more intuitive way to construct and modify queries.
The separate connector feature in the Query Builder component enables users to integrate standalone connectors between rules or groups within the same group. This allows for greater flexibility, as users can connect rules or groups using different connectors, enhancing the complexity and precision of query construction.
This feature allows users to provide additional cell information. They can easily add, edit, and delete notes.
This feature allows users to print the active worksheet or the entire workbook directly. Additionally, users can customize their printouts by choosing to display or hide row and column headers, as well as gridlines.
This feature adds a serialization option in the SaveAsJson method, allowing users to extract cell values without formatting or formulas, like a CSV file.
The actionFailure event notifies developers when the TreeGrid configurations are handled incorrectly on the application end. We have enhanced this event to cover more cases, providing developers with better feedback and diagnostics when issues occur. This improvement will help ensure that any configuration errors are quickly identified and resolved.
