What?s new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Slides for .NET 15.4.0 has been released. This is one of maintenance releases in which we have resolved certain issues incurring in the product along with some of new features. Aspose team has included the long awaited support for joining the shapes using connectors. It also resumed the support for getting slide by ID using GetSlideById(id) method exposed by Presentation class. It has also included the support for setting the predefined view type for the generated presentation when it gets opened in PowerPoint. The slide view type can be set using ViewProperties exposed by Presentation class. This release has also improved the Table support in Aspose.Slides and has added the facility for splitting the table cells based row span, column span, split by height and split by width. We have also added the support for working with NotesSlides and one can now use MasterNotesSlideManager exposed by Presentation class to access the NotesMaster and its elements. It has resolved the issues that appeared while accessing, saving and rendering presentation to PDF, HTML or slide thumbnails, which resulted in different exceptions like NullReference, ArgumentException , UnSupportedBrushTypeException,and IndexOutOfRange in previous releases. The issue of presentation repair message appearing in Aspose.Slides generated presentations when viewed in different PowerPoint versions has also been addressed and resolved in this release. A step forward has also been taken towards improving the performance of API in terms of memory usage as well. It has addressed many text and image rendering issues in this new release that occurred in charts, tables, Smart and AutoShape. We have also improved the strike through text rendering support for generated PDF and thumbnails.
