Hate to be harsh since you folks are very supportive, but the list above hardly worthy of a new major version jump. Is this a sign that Telerik is moving away from Microsoft's beloved Blazor technology? Not enough developers using Blazor?
It's certainly concerning. I know Blazor has it's ups and downs, but Microsoft have committed to it long term (unlike Silverlight and UWP and other technologies they've quickly abandoned) and a lot of the .NET 10/11 features are aimed at Blazor improvements.
Features that are very frequently being used like DialogFactory remain untouched an visually look like they came from circa 2010 not 2026. Clicking on a button outside a Grid and the pending cell data is lost ... kinda important to fix?
Can you folks comment on what is going on here as it looks like not much attention/resources are being put into Blazor?

Hi Rob,
>> Is this a sign that Telerik is moving away from Microsoft's beloved Blazor technology?
Not at all.
We use semantic versioning and major releases relate to breaking changes, not the amount of new features and components. In this case, the breaking change was related to theming.
With the latest release, we delivered the DropDownTree and the ability to customize the Grid keyboard navigation, which were the most wanted novelties in our Feedback Portal. Moreover, let's not forget that our previous release was less than a month ago.

Thanks for the response Dimo, didn't realize you're major version changes followed the same development path as minor version changes.
Glad you folks are still interested in Blazor ... I know it's been a slow adoption in the developer world but I think it will eventually become the tool of choice as other technology implementations are more expensive and becoming harder to justify their funding in the business world (aka Angular).
