See examples http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/slidesnet/Managing+Paragraph+Bullets+in+PPTX
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
