We’ve moved over to a new format for communicating our releases and updates of our popular WPF Charts library, by publishing a rolling changelog of every fix or enhancement in SciChart.
What’s New in v8.5 of SciChart’s WPF Charts?
This release (v8.5.0 build 28148) is a cumulative update with fixes and minor enhancements which is backward compatible to version 8.0 of SciChart WPF. It’s recommended for all users on v8.x to upgrade.
Features & Improvements
- SC-7659 Added rendering of special numeric values (such as Double.MaxValue, Double.PositiveInfinity, etc) to viewport edges for FastMountainRenderableSeries and FastLineRenderableSeries using the VisualXccelerator renderer
- SC-7904 Implemented configuring of AxisTitle visibility in SciChart3D through the AxisPlane API
- SC-7924 Added LightingController API to the Viewport3D class in SciChart3D that allows control over scene lighting
- SC-7844 Added support for the Foreground property on Axes, which now works alongside the TickTextBrush property
Bug Fixes
- SC-6229 Fixed an issue where DataDistributionCalculators did not update data distribution flags in the FIFO mode after certain operations with data
- SC-8030 Resolved issues with special numeric values (such as Double.MaxValue, Double.MinValue) not being recognized during VisibleRange calculations for Axes
- SC-7908 Fixed a regression where Axis3D.IsLabelCullingEnabled had no effect
- SC-7949 Fixed binding issues in SciChartLegend that caused BindingErrors in the Output window
- SC-8026 Fixed an issue where DataDistributionCalculators did not update the DataContainsNaN flag on data removal
- SC-8047 Corrected chart offset when setting AxisAlignment via a Style using Axis MVVM API
- SC-8049 Resolved an issue when an exception was thrown when manually disposing SciChartSurface objects
- SC-8052 Fixed an issue where 2D charts appeared with missing lines on exported images when downscaling occurred
- SC-7983 Fixed an issue where AxisMarkers, when used with SeriesValueModifier, would not appear for RenderableSeries if the MVVM API was utilized
- SC-8001 Fixed an issue where Offset and Scale filters would throw an exception when applied to a DataSeries containing unsorted data
- SC-7799 Fixed the appearance issues of a digital (stepped) FastBandRenderableSeries when few data points are visible in the viewport
- SC-7841 Resolved an issue with the incorrect rendering of FastBandRenderableSeries when Y1 values are identical
- SC-7960 Fixed a System.AccessViolationException occurring when a WaterfallDataSeries3D with an increased number of slices (Z Values) is assigned to a WaterfallRenderableSeries3D
Breaking Changes
There is a potential breaking change in the 2D DataSeries API involving a single modification:
- Added a new property, DataContainsBoundaryValues, to the top-level interface IDataDistributionProvider. This update requires all implementors of IDataDistributionProvider, IDataSeries, IDataDistributionCalculator<TX, TY>, along with their derived interfaces, to include this property in their implementations.
