.NET (Core) 8.0 Support

Note The .NET Container, registering VIs for event callbacks, and building .NET assemblies, are not yet supported with .NET 8.

Python Support

LabVIEW 2025 Q1 supports Python 3.11 and 3.12.
Note: LabVIEW 2025 will continue to support Python 3.9 and 3.10.

Changes to Compare VIs and Other LabVIEW Files

LabVIEW 2025 Q1 adds the HTML format for VI comparison reports. These reports include:
  • Annotated images of differences, including different colors for additions, modifications, and removals.
  • Images of changed VI icons and connector panes.
  • Collapsible sections to help focus on the remaining differences during reviews.

Interactive comparison of VIs also has new annotations and buttons to copy images of differences to the clipboard. You can easily use these features in change comments, such as in Pull Requests with Git.

Project, library, and class files now contain better property labels and less redundant information. It makes it easier for you to review changes using third-party tools for text files.

New Row Options for Listbox, Multicolumn Listbox, Table, and Tree Controls
LabVIEW 2025 Q1 adds the following new options to listbox, multicolumn listbox, table, and tree controls:

  • Added Word Wrap option. This option causes text in a cell to display in multiple lines if the column is not wide enough to display the complete text. This option will work best when used in combination with Autosize Row Height.
  • Added alternating row background color option. This option makes it easier to associate text with the correct row, especially when the control is not showing horizontal lines. In high contrast themes, this feature is disabled when using system colors for both the text and the background color.
