In this release we focused on supporting an updated runtime (more information below) and fixing bugs.
Naturally, there are numerous general improvements and some new features particularly requested by our users, among which we highlight:
See the changelog for the complete list of changes made.
Most computer software uses a series of software libraries called runtime to communicate with the operating system. In this version of NextGen, we have updated the runtime that the program uses, to keep the program up to date.
This runtime, developed and distributed by Microsoft, is called Microsoft .NET 6 and, compared to previous versions, introduces a significant number of changes for which we had to adapt NextGen.
These adjustments are mainly concentrated on the visual aspect; we have done our best to make the transition to this new runtime as invisible as possible: some program windows may still appear to have an appearance that is not in line with the previous one. We kindly ask you to report any oddities to us so we can intervene.
