Essential Studio for WinUI Release Notes

v21.1.35
March 23, 2023
We are pleased to announce that we have updated the versioning system of Essential Studio to a semantic format that provides greater clarity and consistency in versioning, making it easier for users to understand the significance of each Syncfusion release.

The new format consists of three components: Major, Minor, and Patch.

Format: Major.Minor.Patch
Example: 21.1.35

We believe that this change will enable our users to track and manage updates to our components effectively. We are excited to see how it enhances their experience.
