License Keys — New in v25.1

This new release requires every developer/build machine to store a DevExpress license key associated with your account.

DevExpress Unified Installer (Windows) automatically obtains your License Key and places it into its correct location. Run the installer in Repair/Register mode to update your key when necessary. If you used our Unified Installer before license keys were introduced (prior to v25.1), you should not experience any changes when installing or updating DevExpress products.

If you bypass the DevExpress Unified Installer, you can download your license key and register it in the system manually (via a file on disk or an environment variable). Review detailed instructions in the following help topic: Online NuGet Feeds, CI/CD, and Other Installation Methods (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Data Management-related Enhancements

DateOnly & TimeOnly Support

We’ve expanded support for DateOnly and TimeOnly .NET types across DevExpress Dashboards. DateOnly and TimeOnly can be used in the following scenarios:

• Create Dashboard Parameters, Query Parameters, and Calculated Fields.
• Filter dashboard data.
• Apply Conditional Formatting.

Dashboard Item support applies to the following:

• Grid and Pivot — Bind columns to DateOnly and TimeOnly types and select different date-time patterns and grouping intervals (“Year to Month”, “Day-Month-Year”, “Year to Day”, “Day of Week”, and hour/minute-based intervals).
• Pie and Charts
• Range Filter — Use date-based predefined intervals (for example, last year, last quarter, last 7 days, etc).
• Date Filter — Choose predefined intervals and customize date periods.

Export Enhancements

Export to SVG

You can now export entire dashboards, individual dashboard items, and dashboard tab pages to SVG.

SVG exports produce high-quality, resolution-independent, scalable vector images suitable for printing, sharing, or embedding in documents.

Data Loading

Web Dashboard - Request Parameters

Dashboard creators can now display the “Dashboard Parameters” window before a dashboard loads and aggregates data. Data will be loaded after the user submits parameter values. This allows dashboard viewers to customize the initial state.
