New Features

  • Support for Microsoft Windows 11, Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, Microsoft .NET 6.
  • New browser-based designer ("Web Report Designer"). The .NET 4.0 C# MVC web reporting sample is adapted so that both designers (client- and browser-based) can be used in parallel.
  • New Web Report Viewer, this offers the same functionality as the previous HTML5 viewer, but is based on new technology and - like the Designer - is available as a WebComponent.
  • Support for systems without printer driver. To use this, set LL_OPTION_PRINTERLESS to "1" before opening a job with job handle -1. The components offer a "Printerless" property.
  • New LL_OPTION_VIRTUALDEVICE_SCALINGOPTIONS option to optimize text placement in environments without printer driver (see LL_OPTION_PRINTERLESS).
    This also provides support for deployment to Microsoft Windows Docker containers. These can also be hosted on Microsoft Azure App Service accounts.
  • Charts can be created in the designer using drag and drop.
  • Microsoft Excel export supports tags "{ItemName}" (name of current Report Container item and "{PageNumber}" within the worksheet name. This makes them easier to customize.
  • Microsoft Excel export supports hyperlinks set via the Link property in texts and table fields.
  • Microsoft Excel export now allows disabling grid lines (XLS.ShowGridLines).
  • New barcode type "Pharmacode".
  • New image type "SVGZ".
  • Designer function Drawing() now supports direct SVG input (e.g. Drawing('') ).
  • The .NET component can automatically decode Base64-encoded images.
  • The HTML object now also supports the https protocol.
  • The extended properties of 2D barcodes (e.g. QRCode, PDF417 etc.) are now also available in the object model.
  • Consideration of rotation information from EXIF metadata for JPEGs.
  • Various enhancements to the FireDAC VCL component (e.g. ExportOptions class)
  • New option LL_OPTION_SUPPRESS_TOOLTIPHINTS for suppressing the new info tooltips in the Designer.
  • Crosstab label cells can now contain an image.

Changes

  • .NET
    • The property "Contents" of the PropertyMatchDevicePixel class was renamed to "Active" and its type was changed to string in order to enable formulas.
    • The type of the property "DotSizeReduction" of the PropertyMatchDevicePixel class was changed to string in order to enable formulas.
    • Added new property "Printerless" that allows to use LL in printer-less environments. Default is "true" for web and container apps.
  • General
    • Lines are now exported as inline SVG files when exporting to XHTML. Line styles are also partly supported, diagonal lines no longer are raster images.
    • Crosstab: When using the "Minimum Size" property, only a horizontal wrap is now prevented, while a vertical wrap is ignored.
  • API
    • Changed anchoring of table lines, set LL_OPTION_IMPROVED_TABLELINEANCHORING (236) to "0" to restore the old behavior.
