New features in LabVIEW 2020

This is a subset of new features in LabVIEW 2020 that were mentioned on Twitter and Facebook. See the Upgrade Notes for a complete list of changes.
  • Interfaces - Expanded object-oriented programming to introduce interfaces as a companion feature to classes.
  • Clear Variant Data right-click menu option[1] - Clears data from Variant controls and indicators.
  • Enum to Array of Enums function[2] - Creates an array with all possible Enum values.
  • Create NI GUID function[3] - Adds a native GUID function to LabVIEW.
  • Remove (no error) from Error Control (hidden INI key)[4] - Set NI.LV.RemoveNoError=TRUE to remove the (no error) suffix from Error Controls.
  • Build Path Relative Path Input[5] - The default type for the second input of the Build Path function was changed to relative Path instead of String.
  • Break Bad Wire Branches Only[6] - Wires only break for broken branches instead of all branches.
  • Class Dialog Improvements[7] - The dialog for creating new classes was changed to provide more features.
  • Double Click Array To Cluster[8] - The property dialog for the Array To Cluster function can now be opened by a double-click.
  • Set Text Icon for Project Libraries[9] - The Project Library configuration dialog has a new Set Text Icon... button, which provides a way to quickly set the text, text color and background color for the library icon.
  • Range Limits for Type[10] - Returns the maximum and minimum values for a given data type.
  • Generate Checksum Values[11] - Adds native functions to calculate SHA-2 and SHA-3 checksums to LabVIEW.
  • Hide Event Data Node and Iteration Terminal[12] - It is now possible to hide Event Data Nodes in Event Structures and Iteration Terminals on For- and While loops.
  • Multi-Error Support[13] - Collect multiple error values on a single error wire (adds a new subpalette for handling multiple errors).
  • Hide Last Item for Rings when running[14] - Adds an option to hide the last item from a ring control.
