All ASP.NET Components

• BC471: The Loading Panel's content is separated into an image and text to best support its localization (within the Aqua, RedWine and SoftPrange themes).

ASPxGridView and Editors Suite

• BC509: The minimum width, to which a column can be resized by an end-user, has been changed from 6px to 16px.

DXEditors for WPF

• BC469: The BaseEdit.IsEditButtonsVisible property has been renamed to ShowEditorButtons.

DXGrid for WPF

• BC474: The GridMenuType.Summary item has been renamed.

  The GridMenuType.Summary item has been renamed to GridMenuType.TotalSummary.

eXpressApp Framework

• BC456: Localization - PagesText, AllPagesText and LoadingPanelText localization items of ASPxGridView are now obsolete.

  The DevExpress.ASPxGridView control's PagesText, AllPagesText and LoadingPanelText localization items were removed from the Application Mode. Use the DevExpress.ASPxExperience's following items instead:
  
  Pager_SummaryFormat,
  Pager_SummaryAllPagesFormat,
  Loading.

• BC483: Navigation - Now, empty navigation groups aren't displayed by the navigation control.

• BC475: The CustomizeTemplate is now raised for custom templates.

  Before it was raised only for default templates.

• BC479: XafExtendedFilterControl - The hierarchy of child tab controls has been changed.

  Now, child tab controls are placed on panel controls which in turn are placed on tabs.
  Previously, to access child controls you would use the following code:
  
  ...
  Control.FilterTab.Controls
  Control.TextTab.Controls
  ...
  
  Now, the following code should be used instead:
  
  ...
  Control.FilterTab.Controls[0].Controls
  Control.TextTab.Controls[0].Controls
  ...
