vCortex Releases.

New Features & Enhancements

• Applied Designer-defined style classes to all components.
• eChart: The theme property now supports auto, eliminating the need to bind it to the Perspective theme. The component automatically detects Perspective theme changes and updates accordingly.
• eChart: runJs() now uses ctx instead of chart to reference the component.
• Slider: Added styles.track.colors to define the color of each track segment when using multiple values.
• Flow Diagram: Added support for per-node and per-edge Designer styling through the className property.
• Flow Diagram: Added a defaultStyle option for all nodes and edges.
• Flow Diagram: Added support for dragging node handles instead of manually entering offset values in the UI.
• Flow Diagram: Exposed onlyRenderVisibleElements to improve performance in large diagrams by rendering only elements in the visible viewport.
• Flow Diagram: Added addNodes() and addEdges() component functions for large-scale diagrams. These functions inject data directly into the component without exposing it through Perspective properties and work best with dataMode: local.
• Flow Diagram: Added dataMode. In props mode, nodes and edges remain synchronized through Perspective properties. In local mode, data is stored in browser memory to avoid large WebSocket updates.
• Flow Diagram: Added performance.mode, which replaces embedded views with lightweight placeholders while zoomed out.
• Flow Diagram: Added box selection, multi-selection, and Undo for node and edge editing operations.
• Calendar: Added rrule recurrence support.

Bug Fixes

• The demo project is no longer recreated on Gateway startup after it has been deleted by the user.
• Replaced per-component license polling with a shared poller to reduce unnecessary background activity.
• Slider: Fixed the Designer selection box so it properly covers the component.
• Flow Diagram: Removed the redundant node.data.style property from the schema.
• Flow Diagram: Optimized rendering by eliminating O(n²) lookups and unnecessary array allocations.
• Flow Diagram: Removed hardcoded borders and backgrounds from built-in Flow nodes.
• Flow Diagram: Fixed an issue where resizing a node could unintentionally remove existing styles.

• Updated the module version to 0.13.56; the middle part represents the number of components included in the module.
• Fixed the returned index value in Calendar component events.
• Added Calendar pagination to improve UI performance with large numbers of events.
• Added an enabled property to Calendar events and style.eventDisabled for disabled-event styling.
• Added hover mode for Calendar events to display the event start and end dates.
• Added recurring, rrule, and text properties to the Calendar event schema. The properties can be processed through Ignition Python scripts to implement custom recurrence logic.
• Fixed a Calendar issue where moving one of several events with the same ID moved all related events together.
• Added a Scheduler page to the demo project to demonstrate recurring Calendar logic.
• Modularized JavaScript and CSS resources per component. Only resources for components used in a project are loaded, reducing initial project startup load.

• Upgraded the eCharts library to v6.0.0.
• Added new eCharts v6 examples to the demo project.
• Reduced module runtime size by approximately 50%, reducing project resources and improving startup time.
• Added runJS() to eCharts for invoking the eCharts API directly and updating large datasets without passing them through component properties.
• Added Canvas and SVG renderer options. Canvas is faster for large datasets; SVG provides sharper graphics and easier CSS styling or export.
• Added noMerge. When enabled, the chart is fully rendered when setOption changes instead of merging with the previous configuration.
• Added useDirtyRect for Canvas rendering so only changed areas are redrawn.
• Added lazyUpdate to defer chart updates until the next animation frame.
• Added initValue to Odometer for setting the number shown when the component first loads; later changes use props.value.

• Fixed support for passing a theme object to eCharts.
• Updated the manual.
• Removed unused eCharts themes to reduce code size.

• Removed unused CSS variables.

• Made the module available free of charge for Maker Edition.
• Added eCharts selectchanged and dataZoom events.
• Added a property for adjusting Zoom & Pan padding when calling fitView.
• Fixed end-date selection in DateRangePicker.

• Fixed iPhone click interaction in the Zoom & Pan component.
• Added JavaScript parameter support for formatter and renderItem in eCharts.
• Added the demo project to the module.
