Aspose.SVG for .NET 24.2 Release Notes

Major Features

We are pleased to announce the February release of Aspose.SVG for .NET, which continues our tradition of regular monthly updates. This latest version introduces a series of improvements and fixes that enhance the API’s functionality and usability.

Enhancements:

• Fixed Issue with ManagerContext Working Directory (SVGNET-318): We’ve resolved an issue ensuring the proper creation of the Working Directory for ManagerContext, enhancing operational stability and reliability.

• Improved Support for SVG Gradients: Enhancements in adding stop elements for SVG gradients have been made, leading to more accurate gradient representations and visually appealing results.

These enhancements contribute to the robustness and flexibility of Aspose.SVG for .NET, facilitating more efficient and detailed SVG processing and rendering tasks.

Public API Changes

Added and Modified APIs:

• Expansion of SVG Shape Elements Builder Capabilities: The SVG shape elements (line, circle, etc.) builder’s fill and stroke properties have been enhanced to support string values in addition to Color and Paint types. This enhancement broadens the design possibilities, allowing for more complex and flexible styling options. The updated API now accommodates direct references to predefined paint servers for fills and strokes, enabling intricate SVG designs with ease.

For example, developers can now easily define radial gradients and utilize them as fills for SVG shapes, as demonstrated in the following code snippet:

.AddDefs(def => def
    .AddRadialGradient(id: "a", cx: .2, cy: .2, r: .5, fx: .2, fy: .2, extend: ev => ev
        .AddStop(offset: 0, stopColor: Color.FromArgb(0xff, 0xff, 0xff), stopOpacity: .7)
        .AddStop(offset: 1, stopColor: Color.FromArgb(0xff, 0xff, 0xff), stopOpacity: 0)
    )
)
.AddCircle(r: 20, fill: "a")
