Common

CHANGED
  • The following Nuget Packages: Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.462.Xaml, Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.80.Xaml, Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.462 and Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.80, which contained the full distribution, are discontinued with the current release. They are replaced by the new Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.AllControls.Xaml and Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.AllControls. These packages provide the same functionality by consolidating the core distribution components via dependencies. These packages are distributed as part of the Telerik_UI_for_WPF_[version]_NuGet_Separate_Packages_Xaml/NoXaml.
  • Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.for.Wpf.Xaml NuGet is no longer produced. The assembly can be consumed from the distribution zipped artifacts.
