ROADMAP
What will Q2 2012 bring?
A lot of you will be thrilled to learn about the new stuff we plan to ship for Q2 2012. A few long-awaited controls, among which a PivotGrid and a new Chart built on top of HTML5, will make their debut in the beginning of this summer. Another great addition to our suite, the ODataDataSource (ain’t that a cool name!) control, is coming to let you bind any data-bound RadControl to OData services without writing any JavaScript. Of course, we have planned interesting enhancements and new features throughout the whole suite as well. Check the highlights below for details. UPCOMING NEW CONTROLS
PivotGrid
With Q2 2012 comes the first version of Telerik's PivotGrid for ASP.NET AJAX. It will allow for displaying flat data in a pivoted way, summarizing the information and showing trends and totals.
HtmlChart
The new Chart component we are working on will provide powerful charting mechanism based on SVG for modern browsers and VML for older browsers. The first version will allow for creating and configuring bar, pie and line charts.
ODataDataSource
We are building a client data source component which will help you easily bind the controls on the page to OData services. Its designer will help you quickly configure the data model for the data obtained by the server and bind it without the need to write JS code at all. UPCOMING NEW FEATURES FOR ALL CONTROLS
Mobile Support Improvements
To give your users better experience with your application when using mobile devices, we plan to provide you with a new, specifically designed for this purpose skin, featuring proper sizing for the clickable objects. We will also work on improving the scrolling and resizing behaviors of some of the controls, as well as the elements drag-and-drop functionality. UPCOMING NEW FEATURES FOR EXISTING CONTROLS
