      • Updated the appearance of the ButtonGroup component to ensure consistency with Google's Material Design guidelines.
      • Different text editor (type) boxes are now the same height. Thanks to higher contrast color combinations, the content of label and placeholder elements are also accessible.

      • The List component also better matches Material guidelines (no accent colors).

      • The PivotFieldChooser includes full-fledged DevExtreme font icons (in previous versions, icons were SVG based).

    • Multi-Selection of Discrete Days - The new Calendar selectionMode option offers three modes: single, multiple, or range selection. You can set a single date or an array of dates as the initial value. You can also use the selectWeekOnClick option to allow selection of an entire week by clicking on associated week numbers.
