We’re pleased to announce the new release version of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 5.7.0. While making a timeline in the Visio drawing, users were not able to customize date formatting. Now onward, they would be able to do so. In addition to that, we have included unsigned Aspose.Diagram libraries for each supported .NET Framework. Our primary goal is to provide quality, performance and easy to implement approach. To achieve that goal, we always welcome the feedback of our users and all the evidences they provide to test a failure use case. We focused on the cause of the fault and the generic way to get rid of the defect. This leading release version addresses formatting, misplaced elements and export quality fixes.
How to Customize the Date on a Visio Timeline
From this release version, we have managed to add support of customizing the date on a Visio Timeline. The TimelineHelper class allows to do so. Please refer to the following help topic: Set Time Period and Date Format of Timeline Shape
Unsigned Aspose.Diagram Assemblies
From the release version 5.7.0 of Aspose.Diagram for .NET APIs, we now also provide assemblies without Authenticode signed.
