- LightningChart will change the target framework: .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET 10.0.
- Universal-Data-Parser a UserControl which can handle dashboard creation and data loading without single line of code.
- Custom-colored lines will now render much faster with DirectX and also shown in vector format output.

- DataCursor will work better with multi-colored lines.
- DataCursor's ResultTable will support titles with multiple lines.
- Improved rendering of thick semitransparent lines and new RemoveOverlapBetweenLineSegments property.
- DigitalLineSeries will support LineSeriesCursor and DataCursor.
- Improved XAxis' labels rendering with ScaleBreak.
- Allow bar series 3D to be freely positioned in XZ plane.
- Alternate 3D coordinate systems (XYZ vs ZXY or right-handed vs left-handed).
- Positioning Axis 3D more freely (currently only on the edges of the 3D space).
- Create option for 3D-world, where either YAxis is upwards (as now) or ZAxis is upwards.
- Add option for completely hiding YAxis segments.
- Built-in Toolbar for data review/exploration (with buttons like Zoom, Pan, Cursor, Range of Interest etc.).
