We use Labview as a front end application for our GUIs, doing it for almost 20 years. As we do not require any advanced features, we do an upgrade every 5 years. 2025 was the next upgrade and I was put a bit off in that there were no great improvements I could notice. The glitches and problems we had with Labview 2019 were still there, the compiled applications did not run any faster, there were new bugs popping up. My question: Is Labview, as a language, still being developed?

We are in a similar situation. LV 2012, 2015 and then 2019.
I'm programming mainly in 2025 since about 6 months and I can say my opinion is.... mixed.
There are some good quality-of-life improvements, some bug-fixes but also still some issues with the IDE. I see regular pauses of up to 20 seconds when doing completely innocuous edits.
I'm hoping that the next release (Which used to be called "SP1") will quash some of the issues, but currently, I'm actually feeling kind of nostalgic for 2019, I'm not going to lie.

LabVIEW Changes (LabVIEW User Manual)
From 2019, the biggest feature was in 2020 which was Interfaces for OOP. I'd have to think about all of the other new features since then.

You can now zoom in/out of the bd. The breakpoint's size increased.

Why do you need to crosspost from Reddit?
