Find
AG Grid 33.2 allows easily finding content inside grid cells. This enables users to quickly find all the occurrences of a string across all grid cells and rows without filtering out rows which don't contain the searched content.
The matching text in grid cells is styled similarly to the way the browser styles find matches, making this feature easy to discover and use by end-users.
See this documented here and illustrated below:
Tree Data Self-Referencing Records
AG Grid 33.2 enables tree data to display hierarchical self-referencing data where each row provides a reference to its parent. This new feature avoids the need to transform the data before it's provided to the grid and enables users to directly interact with this type of hierarchical data using the standard feature set in AG Grid.
See this documented here.
Status Bar Value Formatting
AG Grid 33.2 adds status bar value formatting. This allows to format the values shown in the status bar panels to better present the status bar values. This allows to ensure correct decimal fraction number formatting or to customize the way large numbers are shown so they don't take up too much space and are meaningful to users.
See this documented here and shown below:
Row Spanning Pagination Support
AG Grid 33.2 improves the row spanning feature adding full support for row pagination. This enables the grid to display a more sparse view of the data and allows users to more easily spot rows with identical cell values in a column even when using row pagination.
See this documented here.
Accessibility Improvements
AG Grid 33.2 improves accessibility support in the columns tool panel allowing users to reorder columns in the columns list, the row groups, pivot and values panels using the keyboard. This will also allow reordering columns in the row group and pivot panels.
This is part of our ongoing work on accessibility support and enables the grid to generate the appropriate announcements for support screen readers and deliver more intuitive and comprehensive keyboard navigation.
Summary
AG Grid 33.2 is a key minor version - it adds important end-user features as well as improvements in performance, accessibility and quality. We highly recommend upgrading to this new version to benefit from these improvements.
We suggest reviewing the release notes when planning to upgrade and seeing the full list of changes in our Changelog.
