Method Aspose.Slides.IBulletFormat.ApplyDefaultParagraphIndentsShifts sets default non-zero shifts for effective paragraph Indent and MarginLeft when bullets is enabled (like PowerPoint do if enable paragraph bullets/numbering in it). If bullets is disabled then just reset paragraph Indent and MarginLeft (like PowerPoint do if disable paragraph bullets/numbering in it). See this page for detail.

Method IConnector.Reroute has been added

Method Aspose.Slides.IConnector.Reroute reroutes connector so that it take the shortest possible path between the shapes it connect. To do this, the Reroute() method may change the StartShapeConnectionSiteIndex and EndShapeConnectionSiteIndex.

using(Presentation input = new Presentation())
{
  IShapeCollection shapes = input.Slides[0].Shapes;
  IConnector connector = shapes.AddConnector(ShapeType.BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10);
  IAutoShape ellipse = shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Ellipse, 0, 100, 100, 100);
  IAutoShape rectangle = shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 300, 100, 100);

  connector.StartShapeConnectedTo = ellipse;
  connector.EndShapeConnectedTo = rectangle;
  connector.Reroute();

  input.Save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Method IPresentation.GetSlideById has been added

Method Aspose.Slides.IPresentation.GetSlideById(System.UInt32) returns a Slide, MasterSlide or LayoutSlide by slide Id.

using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation())
{
  uint id = presentation.Slides[0].SlideId;
  IBaseSlide slide = presentation.GetSlideById(id);
  Debug.Assert(presentation.Slides[0] == slide);
}

Property IShape.ConnectionSiteCount has been added

Property Aspose.Slides.IShape.ConnectionSiteCount returns the number of connection sites on the shape.

using(Presentation input = new Presentation())
{
  IShapeCollection shapes = input.Slides[0].Shapes;
  IConnector connector = shapes.AddConnector(ShapeType.BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10);
  IAutoShape ellipse = shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Ellipse, 0, 100, 100, 100);
  IAutoShape rectangle = shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 200, 100, 100);

  connector.StartShapeConnectedTo = ellipse;
  connector.EndShapeConnectedTo = rectangle;

  uint wantedIndex = 6;
  if (ellipse.ConnectionSiteCount > wantedIndex){
    connector.StartShapeConnectionSiteIndex = wantedIndex;
  }
  input.Save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Property ISmartArt.IsReversed has been added

Property Aspose.Slides.SmartArt.ISmartArt.IsReversed allows get or sets the state of the SmartArt diagram with regard to (left-to-right) LTR or (right-to-left) RTL, if the diagram supports reversal.

{
  ISmartArt smart = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddSmartArt(10, 10, 400, 300, SmartArtLayoutType.BasicProcess);
  smart.IsReversed = true;

  pres.Save("out.pptx", Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
  ISmartArt smart = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddSmartArt(10, 10, 400, 300, SmartArtLayoutType.VerticalBulletList);
  ISmartArtNode node = smart.Nodes[1]; // select second root node
  
  node.TextFrame.Text = "Second root node";

  pres.Save("out.pptx", Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

Property ISmartArtNode.IsHidden has been added

Property Aspose.Slides.SmartArt.ISmartArtNode.IsHidden returns true if this node is a hidden node in the data model.

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
  ISmartArt smart = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddSmartArt(10, 10, 400, 300, SmartArtLayoutType.RadialCycle);
  ISmartArtNode node = smart.AllNodes.AddNode();
  
  bool hidden = node.IsHidden; //returns true
  if(hidden){
    //do some actions or notifications
