We’ve moved over to a new format for communicating our releases and updates of our popular WPF Charts library, by publishing a rolling changelog of every fix or enhancement in SciChart.
You can find the changelogs in the top menu at Developers -> Changelogs -> SciChart WPF ChangeLog
What’s New in v8.5 of SciChart’s WPF Charts?
This release (v8.5.0 build 28148) is a cumulative update with fixes and minor enhancements which is backward compatible to version 8.0 of SciChart WPF. It’s recommended for all users on v8.x to upgrade.
To find out what is new since v8.3, read on below:

Breaking Changes
There is a potential breaking change in the 2D DataSeries API involving a single modification:
- Added a new property, DataContainsBoundaryValues, to the top-level interface IDataDistributionProvider. This update requires all implementors of IDataDistributionProvider, IDataSeries, IDataDistributionCalculator<TX, TY>, along with their derived interfaces, to include this property in their implementations.
