Progress Enables Application Developers to Easily Meet UI Design Requirements and Accessibility Standards with New Release

Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS), the trusted provider of application development and infrastructure software, today announced the R3 2023 release of Progress® Telerik® and Progress® Kendo UI®, the most powerful .NET and JavaScript UI libraries and tools for application development. From modernising legacy projects to building new applications, this new release equips developers with the tools they need for UI styling and customisation, compliance with the latest accessibility and security standards, and powerful data visualisations. 

"Developing modern apps requires a streamlined workflow from design through development and tools that make it easy to comply with accessibility requirements," said Loren Jarrett, EVP & General Manager, Digital Experience, Progress. "With Progress Developer Tools R3, we deliver this and more, as we continue our commitment to providing developers with the best tools to deliver on their requirements, today and into the future." 

What's new in R3 2023: 

Expanded Design System Tooling for an Easier Design to Development Workflow 

• Expanded design system documentation: Components such as Editor, ListView, ListBox, MultiSelectTree, DateInput, ChipList, Window, Dialog, MultiColumnComboBox and Filter join the large collection detailed in the Design System documentation. 

• Progress® ThemeBuilder™ integrations: New components such as TileLayout, Popover, Filter, Conversational UI and Form are supported in the unique and powerful ThemeBuilder app, covering more UI styling and customisation use cases. 

Reporting and Visualisation Components for Embedded Data-Driven Experiences 

• Modernised reporting experience: Enhancements that will help developers uplevel their reporting efforts include the addition of native Angular Report Viewer, a SkiaSharp-based graphics library that enables Linux deployment of .NET 6+ applications and built-in support for configuration of gauges. 

• Spreadsheet functionality for Angular: New for Angular and improved for React, developers can add robust Excel-like functionality to their web apps. 

• New data visualisation components: New Trendline, Pyramid, KendoReact OrgChart and various other chart types that can standalone or integrate with other UI components offer developers what they need for stunning web visualisations. 

New Components to Modernise Web and Desktop Applications 

• DockManager for migrating from desktop to web: This new component will help developers recreate desktop experiences in ASP.NET Core/MVC or jQuery applications.  

• New editor and navigation controls in Blazor: ListBox and DropDownButton are newly added components that shape Progress® Telerik® UI for Blazor into the only Blazor library developers need to build Blazor apps and modernise legacy web projects. 

• Scheduling capabilities in .NET MAUI: A new Scheduler component offers an in-app calendar experience that is similar to Outlook or Google Calendar while ensuring full-component parity with UI for Xamarin for those planning a migration. 

• New controls for desktop apps: SlideView, PipsPager, SVG control and Chat (Conversational UI) are some of the new components for advanced desktop capabilities. 

Enhanced Productivity and Support for the Latest Frameworks
