Release Highlights

Aspose.SVG for .NET 25.2 introduces a new IBitmap interface for high-performance image processing, enhanced rendering control via UseAntialiasing and UseHinting, and unified image transformation with WebRotateFlipType. These updates deliver better cross-platform compatibility and rendering quality without relying on System.Drawing.Common.

✳️ New Feature

• Cross-Platform IBitmap Interface for Image Handling
  Developers can now draw, rotate, fill, and manipulate images using the new Aspose.Svg.Drawing.IBitmap interface — no dependency on System.Drawing.Common.

• Unified Image Rotation & Flipping with WebRotateFlipType
  Replaces inconsistent manual transformations with an enum-based, strongly-typed API supporting 90°, 180°, 270° rotation and all flip combinations.

• Rendering Customization
  Rendering quality is now configurable via UseAntialiasing for images and UseHinting for text, offering clearer control over output fidelity.

🛠 Fix

• Refined WebFontStyle Descriptions
  Clearer documentation for font styles improves readability and ensures predictable rendering behavior across platforms.

🔧 Public API Changes

• Added APIs:

  • Aspose.Svg.Drawing.IBitmap: new interface with properties (e.g., Width, Format) and methods (e.g., DrawBitmap(), RotateFlip(), Save())
  • WebRotateFlipType enum
  • Updated IDrawingFactory methods to return IBitmap

• Modified APIs:

  • ImageRenderingOptions.UseAntialiasing: now clearly documented
  • TextOptions.UseHinting: updated docs for font hinting logic
  • WebFontStyle: improved enum descriptions

🚨 Backwards Incompatible Changes

🔁 Developers are encouraged to transition from System.Drawing.Common to the new IBitmap interface for future-proof, cross-platform rendering support.
