| Neue Möglichkeiten |
|---|
| 1. | The StiOptions.Web.AllowGCCollect option is now supported by the report viewer and the report designer in ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Core. It starts the garbage collector after the server responses, which reduces the memory used by the application at the cost of slower responses under a large number of simultaneous requests.V2026.4.1 |
| 2. | The RowNumber() function for dashboards. It returns the row number (1..N) of a row in the final sorted result.V2026.4.1 |
| 3. | The Rank() function for dashboards. It returns the rank (1..N) of a value in descending order. Equal values share the same rank, and the ranks that follow are skipped.V2026.4.1 |
| 4. | Added smart guides to the web report designer. They highlight alignment between a component being moved or resized and other components on the page.V2026.4.1 |
| 5. | Added the ability to set the color of chart points from a data column in dashboards. It works for the "Pie", "Pie 3D", "Doughnut", "Funnel", "Treemap", "Sunburst" and "Pareto" chart types, as well as for clustered column and bar charts.V2026.4.1 |
| 6. | A new property has been added to the report viewer and designer - AllowLoadingSystemFontsToClientSide. It sends fonts installed on the server to the client side, so reports are displayed with the correct fonts in the browser.V2026.4.1 |
| 7. | Support for searching by several terms separated by spaces in the search box of the "ListBox" and "ComboBox" dashboard elements in the web viewer. A phrase enclosed in double quotes is matched as a single term.V2026.4.1 |
| 8. | MonthYear, QuarterYear, WeekYear and DayMonthYear functions in reports and dashboards. They group data by the month, the quarter, the week or the day within the year, keeping the chronological order.V2026.4.1 |
| 9. | The "Report Checker" now checks the expressions of the dashboard elements, including the tool tip, the hyperlink and the parameter values of the interaction, and reports unknown functions, missing data columns and broken expressions in filters and conditions.V2026.4.1 |
| 10. | The PrimaryKey property has been added to the data columns in the data dictionary. The key columns are taken from the data source schema or from the Key attribute of business objects, shown with a key icon in the dictionary tree, and preselected when creating a relation in the report designer.V2026.4.1 |
| 11. | Added the "Markdown" component to reports. It renders Markdown text with headings, lists, tables, images, links and code blocks, breaks across pages, is exported to all formats, and has its own editor with color themes in the report designer.V2026.4.1 |
| 12. | Added the "Micro QR Code" barcode in reports. It supports versions M1-M4 with automatic version selection, numeric, alphanumeric and byte data and the error correction levels L, M and Q; by default the highest level that fits the data is selected.V2026.4.1 |
| 13. | The relations of the data dictionary are now created from the foreign keys of the database when retrieving columns from a SQL connection of any type: MS SQL, MySQL and MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Firebird, SQLite, SQL CE, Access, Teradata, Snowflake, DuckDB, VistaDB, as well as the connections through ODBC and OLE DB.V2026.4.1 |
| 14. | Added a new GetLabels function for list variables requested from the user. It returns the labels of the selected items instead of their keys, so they can be used in queries and expressions, for example GetLabels("Cities").ToQueryString(); the short form Cities.Labels can be used as well.V2026.4.1 |
| Verbesserungen |
|---|
| 1. | Support for VistaDB 6 databases: the VistaDB connection now works through the VistaDB 6 provider, databases of VistaDB 5 are still opened, and the primary keys of the tables are retrieved.V2026.4.1 |
| 2. | When the StiOptions.Web.AllowGCCollect option is enabled, the garbage collector now starts after the response is sent, so the web viewer and the web designer no longer delay the responses while it runs.V2026.4.1 |
| 3. | The "Publish" wizard now creates projects for .NET Framework 4.6.2 instead of 4.5.2.V2026.4.2 |
| 4. | XLS files in the Excel data source are now read by the built-in reader on all platforms. LibExcel is no longer downloaded and is used only if installed. XLS columns now get data types as in XLSX, the UseLibExcelCompatibleTypes option restores text columns.V2026.4.2 |
| 5. | Region names in the data are now also found in the other languages of the map in the "Map" report component and the "Region Map" dashboard element. For example, "Bayern" or "Thüringen" in the data now color their regions on the Germany map shown in English.V2026.4.2 |
| 6. | Region names in the data are now also found when they are written without accents or punctuation, for example "Bourgogne-Franche-Comte" or "Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur", in the "Map" report component and the "Region Map" dashboard element.V2026.4.2 |
| 7. | When exporting a report to OpenDocument Writer, hyperlinks of text components and images are now exported.V2026.4.1 |
| 8. | The error of a broken expression of a dashboard element is now displayed on the element itself in the report designer and in the rendering messages of a report. Before, such an error was skipped silently and the element just showed no data.V2026.4.1 |
| 9. | Retrieving the database schema of an Informix connection in the report designer, including tables, views, columns, stored procedures with parameters and relations.V2026.4.1 |
| 10. | When printing a report to PDF in the web viewer, the ImageResolutionMode export setting is now set to Auto by default, so images keep their original resolution.V2026.4.1 |
| 11. | Retrieving the database schema through an ODBC driver has been reworked: the primary keys and the relations are retrieved, and the system objects are no longer listed among the tables.V2026.4.1 |

| 7. | Retrieving the types of the columns which an ODBC driver names in its own way when reading the database schema: int4, float8 and timestamptz of PostgreSQL, DOUBLE PRECISION of Firebird, datetime2 and the identity columns of MS SQL. Such columns came as strings, the tables with a space in the name came without columns, and the relations of these tables and key columns were lost in the data dictionary.V2026.4.1 |
| 8. | The data sources added through an ODBC driver failed to build in a report when the name of a table, a view or a stored procedure contained a space or mixed-case letters, or when the table belonged to a schema: the names in the query were quoted the wrong way for the database, and the schema was added twice.V2026.4.1 |
