Older Versions
When did TX Spell .NET for Windows Forms learn to hyphenate, detect languages or offer a spell check dialog of its own? Versions 3.0 to 6.0, released between 2012 and 2015, added much of what the spell checker still does today, and each has a page with its features, its service packs and its new classes and members. They help when you maintain an application built on one of these versions, or when you want to know how long a feature has been there.
The versions from 7.0 on are described in What's New, together with their service packs, breaking changes and deprecated APIs.
Versions at a Glance
| Version | Released | Released with | What it brought |

The dates are those of the release announcements on the Text Control Blog. The download package holds only the last installer of each version, which carries the date of its last service pack, so its dates aren't release dates. Each version was released for Windows Forms and WPF on the same day.
What the Version Pages Contain
Each page opens with the release date and the focus of the version, then describes its features and links to the pages that explain them in today's version. Most of these features are still part of TX Spell .NET, so the version pages keep to what changed and leave the details to the feature pages.
- Service packs. The service packs of the version, with the dates of their announcements and the names of their setups.
- New classes and members. The classes, properties, methods and events that the What's New documentation of the version lists, grouped by class, each linked to its current reference page.
- Errors of the old documentation. Where the What's New documentation of a version names a member that doesn't exist, the version page says so. Version 4.0 is the case: its documentation names a property
TXSpellChecker.Hyphenation, which is reallyHyphenationLanguage.
