These maintenance releases for our WPF, WinForms, and UWP Controls focus on making many minor improvements across all the products. In addition, WPF's WindowChrome now allows it to render a backdrop with Mica or Acrylic materials when on a Windows 11 system.

This version adds several exciting new features for SyntaxEditor, along with making numerous improvements to the control and its add-ons. Other minor updates are made to Docking/MDI, Editors, Grids, Ribbon, Shell, and Themes. Finally, Visual Studio 2022 designer support has been improved.
See the related announcement post for the detailed list of enhancements and updates.
Here's a look at some of the new features.
Many customers have asked how two SyntaxEditor instances could be configured to work side-by-side for comparing files. We've included a new QuickStart that demonstrates comparing two files and highlighting differences in both editors.
Differences are updated in real-time as a file is edited. Our sample is built using simple interfaces to represent the file differences so that any difference engine could easily be adapted to work with the sample.
Use the new column guides feature to designate where line breaks should occur within a file to stay within any readability guidelines your company may have. For instance, a column guide might be set at column 80 or 120.
Other syntax languages like COBOL may also require that certain data is at certain character positions and column guides provide a visual way to ensure code is positioned properly.
We've done some more tuning in the completion item matching logic to squeeze out some additional performance gains.

Here's a look at some of the new features.
A new sample demonstrates synchronizing the scroller and splitter of one editor instance with another.
Improved drag/drop interaction and related scrolling in several scenarios, and enhanced the Drag and Drop QuickStart sample.
Added a formula example with alternate style for nested parentheses.
Made many small improvements in the areas of editing and caret movement, especially in certain special contexts.
Improved popups to reposition themselves as the editor is scrolled.
The vertical scrollbar has been updated to handle collapsed regions more smoothly.
Updated to support C# 8.0 syntax.
A new sample that demonstrates using an IResolver to navigate to the source of a reference.
The outliner will now create nodes for code-level constructs such as block statements by default.
Updated to support ECMAScript 2021 (12 Edition) syntax.
Added a constructor for whether the language should support JavaScript style comments, as in Microsoft’s JSONC variant.
Updated to support Python v3.9.5 syntax.
Updated to support namespace packages.
The WinForms Controls NuGet packages on nuget.org now contain compiled product assemblies that target:
Projects that target .NET 5 or later will use the .NET 5-based assemblies, and projects that target .NET Framework 4.0 or later will use the .NET Framework 4.0-based assemblies.
We’ve also validated that our assemblies work great in .NET 6 applications.
.NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5+ designer support has been added for Visual Studio 2022.
