Public API and Backwards Incompatible Changes

DrawingML.GetShapeRenderer Behavior Changed

ExportEmbeddedSvg Property Added to HtmlFixedSaveOptions

FirstPageHeaderFooterPerSection Option Added to ExportHeadersFootersMode

Rendering of DrawingML Glow Effect

  • Simplified (default) - Soft edges are simulated using several layers with different transparency, which gives acceptable result with higher performance than in Fine mode.
  • Fine - Blur filter is applied, which gives the same result as MS Word, but with lower performance because of complexity of convolution filter.
  • None - In this mode no DrawingML effects are rendered.

Rendering of DrawingML Glow Effect

ResourceFileUri Property Added to ResourceSavingArgs

  • It is impossible to provide different aliases for individual resource files. 
  • Generated URIs have the form “alias/filename”, which is fixed. For example, it is impossible to change the order of the alias and the file name or remove the slash character that separates them.

SaveOptions.DmlRenderingMode Introduced

TOC Field Switch to Omit Page Numbers is Supported

Trackmove Revisions Supported upon DOCX Round-trip
