We’re happy to announce the GroupDocs.Total for .NET 25.9 release, available as of October 2025. This update removes the heavy Classification library from the Total bundle, upgrades a number of component libraries, and ships several defect fixes.
Important notice
Starting with version 25.9, GroupDocs.Classification is no longer shipped as part of the GroupDocs.Total package.
The library ships large machine‑learning model files that considerably increase the total package size and can affect performance for projects that do not use classification features.
If you need classification capabilities, add the library separately from NuGet or download it from the official releases page.
