version 1.3.0

I work with Reogrid since the version 0.8 and the changes were very satisfactory. I was a fan of reogrid.

However the version 1.3 marks a turning point. On the one hand many features have disappeared from the free version. On the other hand other features do not work properly.
This is the case of undo, filters which are now very slow.

This discourages to work with Reogrid because we are never certain that a feature will not disappear. There is no vision of that and what we can count.

The bugs found in version 1.3 also discourage to go to the pro version. The bugs of the free version probably also exist in the pro version.
Question 1: What is the evolution of reogrid vision for the free version and pro version. Will you continue to gradually remove the functionality of the free version. (There is already little interest in using Reogrid in free version)
Question 2: Will you return in the free version of the simple calculation features, undo and filters?
Question 3 Have you corrected the bugs which version 1.3?

Re: version 1.3.0

Whichever version compared to (1.2, 0.8 etc.), no features have been removed from free edition. No ideas why did you say 'gradually remove features from free edition'.  ReoGrid is one of software that try to keep so many free features and never removed any free features in its upgrading history.

In addition, oppositely, we always do add and implement many new features and proposes from free users.

For example, you want Ctrl+Shift+Down hotkey, that actually can be done by your own code, you can handle key down event, and put focus cell at bottom of worksheet. But we consider that is a nice propose so we are planning to add it in next release.   

Only one feature - automatic formula reference updating - that appears in 1.2.3 free version and removed from 1.3.0 free version, because we developed it for pro edition at beginning, but we made mistake to public it in 1.2.3 free version.

Undo or filter becomes slow, if that is a problem, that should exists in both free and pro edition, there is no difference between free and pro edition in a same feature implementation. So if that is problem, please report and help us to improve it, so that we can provide better free features for other users.

Re: version 1.3.0

Dear Jing,

Thanks a lot for your great answer. To help you improve Regrind that we like really much, here are some problems that we encountered with the 1.3 version:

Filtered, undo and redo: The action grid.undo(); is now very slow (>10sec). We use this feature very often, but it is now impossible to undo as it takes to much time. We tried to create a action catcher manually, but there is no way to get the previous value in a Cell before paste or before delete.

It is the same for filtering, so we came back to 1.2 version.

By the way, we use a 10 000 x 200 Regrid

Formula: When we enter "=A2+B2" in a Cell it now keep writing "=A2+B2" whereas previous version which was calculating A2+B2. We understand that this could be a PRO feature, but we would have liked to be warned that this was a mistake.
