Roadmap
Throughout 2012 the main objective for our ASP.NET AJAX offering will be to add new requested controls and features for the main components, thus enriching even further the arsenal we presently have. We will also stress on enhanced accessibility and mobile devices support as those aspect are more and more important, following the industry 'hunger' for accessible mobile web. More tight integration with OpenAccess ORM, Sitefinity, WebUI Test Studio and Telerik Reporting will take a central role in our 2012 plans, too.
The first release in year 2012 (expected in mid February) will institute a myriad of new features/enhancements for the existing components, the most noticeable and essential ones targeting the editor, listview, org chart, scheduler and treelist controls. Our productivity tools and add-ons, the Visual Style Builder and the Visual Studio Extensions, will also get some love to reduce the upgrade and styling efforts as much as possible when creating interactive and eye-catching ASP.NET AJAX web applications.
