Hello everyone! We have released v19.10 of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET and I have a piece of breaking news especially for those who requested the support of .NET Core. The latest release of the API includes 6 new features, 2 improvements, and 11 bug fixes. So let’s have a look at some major updates we have brought for you.
Support of .NET Standard 2.0
