GoDiagram(TM) Win version 4.1.

0 Release Notes
Copyright 2002-2010 Northwoods Software Corporation This kit includes sets of assemblies and samples for building interactive diagram applications using .NET Windows Forms. GoDiagram(TM) Win requires the Microsoft(R) .NET Framework 2.0, 3.5 or 4.0 SDK, depending on which GoDiagram kit you are installing. It also works with interactive development environments such as Visual Studio 2008 and 2010. Separate installation kits are provided for VS2008 (4.1.0.2) and VS2010 (4.1.0.4). Version 4.1.0.2 is built against .NET 2.0 and works with .NET 2.0 through .NET 3.5. 4.1.0.4 is built against .NET 4.0. GoDiagram Web for ASP.NET Web Forms is a separate product in a separate installation kit. GoDiagram Web and its additional assemblies share most of the same functionality as the Windows Forms components but are designed for ASP.NET to run on web servers. This kit also includes assemblies and samples for several optional libraries that extend GoDiagram: GoLayout, for automatic positioning of nodes GoInstruments, for displaying instruments such as dials, meters, gauges, and rulers GoXml, for customized reading and writing of XML documents GoSvg, for generating customized interactive SVG files GoDraw, controls for letting users draw and customize GoObjects: a ruler control (GoRuler), a view using two rulers showing a sheet (GoDrawView), and controls for modifying color, brush, pen, or text properties of selected GoObjects This installation is initially licensed under the terms of the evaluation license agreement, WinEvalLicense.rtf in the docs subdirectory. Upon purchasing a valid binary development license for a GoDiagram assembly on a particular computer, and after installing the license with the LicenseManager application, you may compile a license for that assembly into your application and distribute that assembly. The binary development license agreement is docs\WinBinaryLicense.rtf. Each product has its own redistributable assembly: GoDiagram Win: Northwoods.Go.dll GoLayout Win: Northwoods.Go.Layout.dll GoInstruments Win: Northwoods.Go.Instruments.dll The GoXml, GoSvg, and GoDraw assemblies are licensed under the terms of their respective GoDiagram assemblies and can be used at no additional cost: GoXml Win: Northwoods.Go.Xml.dll GoSvg Win: Northwoods.Go.Svg.dll GoDraw Win: Northwoods.Go.Draw.dll

If you want to deploy into a reduced-trust environment, such as part of a no-touch deployment application or called by a DLL that is hosted by Internet Explorer, contact us for special licensing instructions and DLLs that can run with limited permissions.

For GoDiagram Win, please read the GoDiagram Win Introduction document, docs\GoWinIntro.pdf. This document includes a section about how to distribute your applications with the assemblies for which you have purchased a license. You will find the User Guide, docs\GoUserGuide.pdf, to be an instructive overview of the whole product. You will find many answers to your questions in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list that is in docs\GoDiagramFAQ.chm. You might also want to search the GoDiagram Forum at http://www.nwoods.com/forum. And don't forget to read the API documentation, within Visual Studio as integrated help.

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 4.0, Version 4.0 introduced a few minor incompatible changes. It is recommended you read an article describing the changes involving the major new feature: support for generics throughout the design and implementation: (see Chapter 10 in the User Guide)

Detailed List of Changes since 4.0

Go Bugfixes Fix crash in Dispose.Hover when doing explicit dispose on GoView Fix crash in Zoom while GoText is in edit mode Fix GoView / GoLayer memory leak when GoView disposed Fix out of place auto-increment that occasionally breaks Undo Fix in GoView so that RichText (from NodeLinkDemo) editing works Go New Features 4.1.0.4 Dlls build against .NET 4.0 Client Profile New GoFigures for Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) VS2010 support - Help 3.0 New RoundedLineWithJumpGaps style for Orthogonal links GoLayout New Offset properties on GoLayoutTree (NodeIndentPastParent and LayerSpacingParentOverlap)

Upgrading to 4.1
GoDiagram supports simultaneous installations of multiple major/minor versions. Even if you do not want to take the time to migrate your code through intermediate versions, we strongly suggest reading the release notes for releases you want to skip. You can find earlier release notes at: http://www.nwoods.com/go/docs/WinREADME400.pdf http://www.nwoods.com/go/docs/WinREADME303.rtf http://www.nwoods.com/go/docs/WinREADME302.rtf

You will need to make sure your projects now refer to the new Northwoods.Go.* assemblies, not older versions. You will need to change all of your licenses.licx files so that references to GoDiagram Win components of: Version=9.8.7.6 (or the version you have been using until now) are replaced with: Version=4.1.0.2 (using the DLLs compiled for .NET version 2.0 or later) Version=4.1.0.4 (using the DLLs compiled for .NET version 4.0 or later)
