Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

This section lists public API changes that were introduced in GroupDocs.Assembly for .NET 18.6. It includes not only new and obsoleted public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behaviour behind the scenes in GroupDocs.Assembly which may affect existing code. Any behaviour introduced that could be seen as a regression and modifies existing behaviour is especially important and is documented here.

Support dynamic coloring of chart series

For a chart with dynamic data, you can set colors of chart series dynamically based upon expressions. To use the feature, do the following steps:

Declare a chart with dynamic data in the usual way
For chart series to be colored dynamically, define corresponding color expressions in names of these series using seriesColor tags having the following syntax:
```
<<seriesColor [color_expression]>>
```

Support dynamic coloring of chart series points

For a chart with dynamic data, you can set colors of individual chart series points dynamically based upon expressions. To use the feature, do the following steps:

Declare a chart with dynamic data in the usual way
For chart series with points to be colored dynamically, define corresponding color expressions in names of these series using pointColor tags having the following syntax:
```
<<pointColor [color_expression]>>
```

Support C# 6.0 null-conditional ?. and ?[] operators in template expressions

The following are the new operators that LINQ Reporting Engine enables you to use in template expressions:

x?.y
a?[x]

The engine follows operator precedence, associativity, and overload resolution rules declared at C# Language Specification while evaluating template expressions.
