A major new version of the Actipro WPF controls is now available.  This version adds a new Views product that contains a TaskBoard control, allowing for animated drag/drop of cards within task columns.  Docking/MDI's Prism interop assembly has been updated to work with Prism v5.0.  SyntaxEditor gets many new features and its Python Language Add-on's IntelliPrompt capabilities have been greatly enhanced. New shapes are added to the Shared Library.  Many other assorted updates and improvements have been made across the product range.
