The long wait has finally come to an end! The NOV Framework has been under development for nearly 5 years. Today, the Nevron Team is proud and excited to announce the official release of Nevron Open Vision (NOV) 2013.1 – the first and only Cross-Platform Presentation Layer for .NET Developers!

At Nevron, we believe that NOV marks a new era in the development of Enterprise-level applications and user interfaces.

"NOV is probably the most significant .NET LOB library ever released, since it provides the .NET framework with something it did not have – a 100% portable presentation layer." says Ivo Milanov, CTO of Nevron Software LLC. "NOV completely changes the game in the .NET presentation layer world as the .NET framework finally has a new and portable face."

With the official release of Nevron Open Vision (2013.1), we have introduced integration support for most of the presentation layers developed by Microsoft: Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF) and Silverlight.

"Moving forward, we are planning to include Mac OS, iOS, Android and WinRT support." says Ivo Milanov. "In this way we intend to become the third major player in the .NET world, since we will bridge the Microsoft .NET and the Xamarin .NET ecosystems, by providing them both with a presentation layer that runs everywhere and delivers enterprise features."

"Everyone benefits from using NOV. Developers can now learn one presentation layer and reuse their knowledge on multiple Operating Systems, Devices and Environments. Project managers can now lower development costs, go to market faster and increase the customer base by delivering enterprise-ready cross-platform solutions from a single code base. Component Vendors and ISVs can now concentrate on the products they make and forget about the efforts needed to release one and the same product on multiple platforms and environments."

NOV also provides significant benefits to applications that do not have to be cross platform by design. Even if you write a traditional Windows application you’ll find that the completely windowless and CSS stylable presentation layer implementation of NOV delivers unrivalled performance and scalability.

What's included in NOV 2013.1?
The first version of the Open Vision introduces:

• NOV UI Widgets (User Interface Elements) - a complete and feature-rich set of cross-platform UI controls, including: Buttons, Color Pickers, Command Bars, Containers, Context Popups, Drop Down Edits, Panels, Range Based Widgets, Tree View, List Box, NOV Windows, Text Widgets and more.


• NOV Rich Text Editor – an advanced text and document processing control, which provides powerful features and outstanding performance. The Rich Text Editor can add MS Word-like and Web Browser-like text editing and text visualization capabilities to you cross-platform applications.

Pricing and Availability
The NOV developer licenses are provided on a subscription basis for a 12 months Subscription period, which includes one year of free maintenance and upgrades. The developer subscription for the NOV Framework starts from a special base price of $365 (a dollar a day).

What’s new in Nevron .NET Vision 2009 Vol.1 Release:

Nevron Chart for .NET (WinForms and ASP.NET) version 2009 Vol.1:

New Chart Series

Range Series - The Range series can display 2D or 3D shapes defined by the begin / end values of their bounding boxes. It can be used for display of histograms, bars with custom sizes, 3D ranges etc.

Vector Series - The vector series allows for the display of 2D and 3D vector fields, with controllable vector position, vector direction and color.

3D Chart Fit In Box
All Cartesian 3D charts can now be forced to fit their entire content (axis labels, series etc.) into the content area box defined by their panel.

Chart Axes Improvements

Range Label Improvements - Range labels have been improved to support additional tick styles as well as options for automatic fitting and clipping.

View Range Inflate - All axes can now be configured to inflate their logical range in several modes. You can now specify whether the axis range should be rounded to the nearest major tick or specify custom logical or absolute inflate.

Hierarchical Scale Improvements - The hierarchical scale configurator has been extended to support first level and group level grid style and controllable label overlapping behavior that differs for first and group level labels. The configurator has also been extended to support level padding allowing for better readability of the labels.

Timeline Scale Improvements - Both the NValueTimelineScaleConfigurator and the NRangeTimelineScaleConfigurator have been extended to support custom step for each timeline row. The NRangeTimelineScaleConfigurator has also been extended to support level padding.

Gauge Improvements

Numeric Display Improvements - The numeric display panel has been extended to support sign display with several options.

Gauge Indicator Value Dampening - Both value and numeric indicator can now use a value dampening effect that smooth the transition of the indicator from one value to another.

Gauge Knob Indicator - The knob indicator is a new type of value indicator with controllable style that provides the end user with an easy way to modify the values.

Nevron Diagram for .NET (WinForms and ASP.NET) version 2009 Vol.1:

DOM Improvements

Support for expandable/collapsible shapes (groups).

Support for shape decorators. In this release we have implemented the following decorators:
- Frame Decorator - adds a header and background to a shape.
- Expand Collapse Decorator - adds an expand/collapse toggle button to a shape.
- Show Hide Subtree Decorator - adds a show/hide subtree toggle button to a shape.

Support for Table Shapes - Table shapes are similar to the tables used in HTML (i.e. each cell can span several rows and/or columns, and may contain images and/or text).

Support for UML Shapes - Built upon the Table Shape, they allow the user to create UML class diagrams with ease. The UML shapes also supports different notations for its UML members.

Support for ERM Shapes and Connectors - With ERM Shapes and Connectors you can easily display any Entity Relation diagram.

Diagram Layout Improvements

The Balloon Tree Layout supports properties to control the sector angle for the children of the root vertex and the children of the other vertices, as well as the start angle at which to begin the layouting of the shapes.

The Radial and the Single Cycle Layouts allow the user to control their aspect ratio.

The Tip-over Tree Layout supports a different placement specifier for the tree leafs.

The Layered Graph Layout allows the user to specify the position of each node in its layer individually using its Layout Data.

The Layout Context allows the user to specify the shapes and/or groups he wants to layout.

New Diagram Importers (Database and Class Importers)

The Database Importer allows the users to import the entire hierarchy of a database, which makes the task of creating database entity relation diagrams easier than ever before.

The Class Importer allows the users to create complete class hierarchy diagrams based on a given class with only few lines of code.

Fixed Issues and Optimizations

- The hit test of diagrams with thousands of shapes has been significantly optimized.
- The clowning and binary serialization of user defined tags has been fixed.
- The Disconnected event is now raised when you remove a connected shape.
- The Random Graph Generator now always generates connected graphs.
