We are running beta tests of FlowChartX version 3.2.2. The new version provides the following:

- The Spring-Embedder layout algorithm, implemented by the SpringLayout class, has been optimized. Our tests show the layout routine is 3-4 times faster now than in previous versions.
- An arrow consisting of multiple segments has all its control points translated when the nodes connected by the arrow are members of a  group and the group is moved around.
- The new KeyboardFlags property helps handling keystrokes which are filtered by some ActiveX containers.
- The Table class’ CellTextColor indexed property allows setting the color of cells’ text.
- The Print dialog now allows choosing the range of pages to be printed. This allows printing only a part of the diagram instead of all its pages.
- HitTestPriority allows changing the order in which items are hit-tested.
- Many new ESelStyle styles implemented, providing new values for the SelStyle property of items.
- Custom drawing and hit testing of selection handles can be done by handling the DrawSelHandles and HitTestSelHandles events.
- SelStyle and Length properties added to the Arrow class.
- MergeUndoRecords allows moving a number of records from the undo/redo queue into one composite record.
