SciChart WPF v6.2.1.13304 Released!

We are pleased to announce that the SciChart WPF v6.2.1, build 13303 has now been released! This update includes a number of bug fixes and minor enhancements requested by users since version 6.2.x. This release is a drop-in replacement for 6.x and it is recommended for all users to update.

What’s New in SciChart v6.2.1?

New Examples & Demos

Added the Lidar Demo to the Examples Suite. We created a blog post over at blog.scichart.com to show how to load Lidar data from the UK Defra Survey into SciChart, and visualize as a point-cloud and contour map. This example is now available in the SciChart WPF Examples Suite.

We also added a Webinar titled Algo Trading with SciChart WPF. We built an in-house Algorithmic Trading framework which lets you connect to a Crypto exchange (Bitmex, Binance) and execute algorithmic trades, as well as perform tick-by-tick backtests of your trading strategies, all visualised with SciChart WPF. 

If you’d like to know how SciChart can be used in the most demanding markets, with complex data-visualization (buy/sell markers on chart, multi-pane charts, different scaling per series, different indicator or filters on a chart, custom interaction behaviours) then take a look. 

IMPORTANT ISSUES FIXED in 6.2.1

The following issues are considered critical and we recommend customers update to avoid them from impacting your applications or development work.

• Fixed an issue where users of Multi-GPU PCs incorrectly dropped down to software rendering when auto-detecting GPU support for our DirectX Visual Xccelerator Engine.
• SC-5484 Fixed an issue where some customers could not activate a paid SciChart WPF License. This required an update in SciChart WPF as well as the Licensing Wizard.
• SC-5485 Fixed a bug where EnableImpossibleMode is True and the first two data-points have the same X-value results in hang & infinite loop.
• SC-5480 Fixed a bug where EnableImpossibleMode is True and chart has a few datapoints results in chart not updating
• Made VisualXcceleratorEngine.DowngradeWithoutException true by default. Ensure IsEnabledChanged processed after other dependency properties. This resolves issues where on some computers a compatibility exception is thrown.
• SC-5463 Fixed memory leak when AnnotationBinding is used and bound ObservableCollection changes reference
• SC-5463 improved fix for ‘MVVM Annotations memory leak’ by using CollectionChangedEventManager weak events
• SC-5465 Fixed the issue when RadarSurface would throw and exception when axes collection was bound
• SC-5458 Fixed ArgumentOutOfRangeException when deselecting RenderableSeriesViewModel
• Fixed LinearTrend and PolynomialTrend Filters are crashing when data in unsorted

Minor Issues fixed in 6.2.1

• SC-5440 Fixed incorrect rendering of SurfaceMesh2D when VisibleRange is set manually
• SC-5471 TooltipModifier3D stops working after SurfaceMeshRenderableSeries3D change
• SC-5463 Ensure VerticalSliceModifier.VerticalLines are created and updated when VerticalLinesBinding MVVM API is used.
• SC3D-488 Last point in Scatter3D series doesn’t obey Metadata color
• Fixed showing getting-started page whenever the Visual Studio Package Manager Console window was opened after installing SciChart from NuGet.
