Roadmap

Telerik UI for Blazor will fully support the official .NET 10 release. Our team is committed to ensuring seamless compatibility from day one, delivering a smooth upgrade path for developers, and taking full advantage of all performance, tooling, and framework improvements introduced in .NET 10.

 

The upcoming release will focus on refinements that position our Chat UI as the most polished and competitive on the market. Key updates include improved message bubbles with improved timestamp placement and dynamic border-radius adjustments based on message order, plus an in-bubble typing indicator to show when participants are actively responding. We’re also improving attachment handling and scrolling for a smoother experience, and enriching chat views with time-break markers (e.g., “Today,” “Yesterday,” specific dates), a customizable empty-chat template for welcome content, scrollable suggestions when the list grows long, and visual user-status indicators. Together, these enhancements create a more seamless, engaging, and modern chat experience.

 

We’re excited to announce the upcoming addition of a brand-new Diagram component, bringing powerful diagram modeling capabilities to the suite for the first time. This highly anticipated component is designed to support the creation of workflow, process, org chart, and many more diagrams, empowering developers to visually represent business logic, system flows, and organizational structures with ease. The initial release will include a rich library of professionally designed out-of-the-box shapes tailored for various scenarios. In addition to these core features, the component will be built with modern rendering and interaction patterns to ensure a smooth and responsive user experience. This marks a major expansion of the suite’s capabilities, opening new possibilities for building rich, interactive, and data-driven applications. 

 

We’re introducing an entirely new Chat Component - built to power the next generation of real-time, intelligent, and flexible communication experiences. This component reimagines conversational interfaces from the ground up to support both human-to-human and human-to-AI interactions with a modern, extensible design. 

At the heart of this new component is Prompt Mod - a specialized capability designed for seamless Large Language Model (LLM) integration. Prompt Mode enables contextual memory handling via events, formatted AI responses (including code blocks, markdown, and HTML), real-time token tracking, response interruption with a stop button, and styled quick-suggestions like “Summarize” or “Fix grammar.” It’s built to elevate human-to-AI conversations with thoughtful UX patterns. 

Beyond AI capabilities, the component includes a robust set of features that enhance dynamic and accessible communication: 

Data Binding: Natively supports streaming data sources for real-time message updates. 

• Suggested Actions: Streamlines interactions with quick-reply options for both users and AI responses. 
• Message Attachments: Allows rich content sharing with support for images, video, and more. 
• Message Templates: Customize the appearance of messages to match your brand and application style. 
• Globalization: Full support for multiple languages, RTL text, and localized date/number formats. 
• Speech-to-Text: Makes conversations more accessible with built-in voice input. 
• Send Button + Enter Key Support: Flexible message submission for keyboard or click-based interactions. 

This new Chat Component is a comprehensive foundation for building chat-driven applications that are AI-ready, real-time, and globally scalable. 

 

We’re expanding our AI-Powered Grid Features - a suite of intelligent enhancements designed to turn dense data tables into intuitive, conversational experiences. Without changing your existing markup, users will be able to issue plain-language commands, typed or spoken, to perform advanced actions: from sorting, filtering, and highlighting records to managing selections and performing column-level operations like resizing, pinning, hiding, and reordering.

This release focuses on removing friction when exploring large datasets, enabling faster insights through natural, self-guided interactions. The Grid becomes a powerful, AI-driven tool that empowers both technical and non-technical users to manipulate and understand data effortlessly, without wrestling with complex UIs, manual configurations, or lengthy queries.

The AI Prompt component will be enhanced with new capabilities aimed at improving user interaction and output control. A new Response Formatting feature will introduce structured output handling through a set of customizable events, enabling seamless integration with third-party libraries for tailored response presentation. Additionally, the component will integrate with the upcoming Speech-to-Text module, allowing users to input prompts via voice for a more natural and accessible experience. A Stop Response feature will also be introduced within the text area, giving users the ability to interrupt response generation in real time, offering greater control and responsiveness during AI interactions. 

 

 

We are extending the TabStrip component with dynamic tab capabilities. This enhancement will allow developers to add, remove, and update tabs at runtime based on user interaction or application logic. The improved API will support full control over the tab collection, making the TabStrip more flexible for scenarios such as user-driven navigation, dynamic content loading, and configuration-based tab generation.

 

You may already be aware that Microsoft discontinued .NET 6 support in November 2024. We would like to inform you that our plans are in line with this decision, and we will be ending our .NET 6 support in May 2025. This will give you extra time to transition from .NET 6 to .NET 8 or above. By upgrading to the most recent version of .NET, you will leverage the latest features, performance enhancements, and security improvements offered by both Microsoft and Telerik. This upgrade will ensure that you can make the most of the cutting-edge advancements provided by both entities.

 

 

Key enhancements coming to Document Processing Libraries:

• AI-assisted PDF integration via Copilot & MCP
• PDF/UA-compliant accessible document generation
• GenAI-powered insights for Word documents
• Optimized Excel formula recalculation
• Cross-platform text measurer with SkiaSharp & HarfBuzzSharp

We’re enhancing the UI Accelerator offering by introducing new building blocks and page templates every quarter. These additions are designed to simplify project setup and development, providing developers with pre-built, reusable components and layouts that align with modern design standards. From streamlined workflows to consistent, polished results, these updates aim to save time and enhance productivity. By regularly expanding the library, we’re ensuring developers have the resources they need to efficiently build high-quality applications.

Performance remains a key focus for us. Expect to see improvements in the DataGrid and virtualization support to additional components (TreeList, TreeView) aimed at delivering faster data handling and rendering. This step is a part of our ongoing effort to maintain Telerik UI’s leading edge in the world of UI component libraries.

The interactive browser-based code runner for Blazor will be further enhanced with new features allowing you to seamlessly run, save and share your own Blazor code snippet.

In the 2025 releases, we remain committed to enhancing the accessibility of Telerik UI for Blazor components. This includes adhering to WAI-ARIA and Section 508 standards, aligning with the most recent WCAG guidelines, and offering comprehensive documentation, demonstrations, and resources focused on accessibility (A11Y).

We are introducing a new unified color system across all Kendo themes, ensuring a shared palette of colors. This enhancement will foster consistency and efficiency in styling across various themes, while also decreasing the size of theme files. In May 2024, the new  color system system will become default. Both color systems will be available until Q2 2025, giving you time to adapt at your own pace. For additional details, refer to our blog post.
