New RFID tag enables the identification of goods and closely resembles a barcode, but unlike the barcode, it uses radio signals which allows a large number of items to be scanned in a short period of time.
The tag contains 4 data banks:
Reserved bank for storing access and destruction passwords.
Electronic product code bank.
Tag identifier bank.
User data bank.
The RFID tag is represented as a report object and can be customized using the user-friendly editor.
The tag object can be exported to ZPL.
Support for images in WebP format
New plug-in adds support for images in WebP format:
Upload images into a PictureObject using the editor in the report designer and from code.
FastReport.Skia supports WebP images without a plugin, but they are converted to PNG format when uploaded.
Preview in the designer window and asynchronous report viewing:
You can now launch a report preview in the designer window when using the designer in your application. Previously, the preview always started in a separate window.
Asynchronous methods for report preparation and viewing have also been introduced: Report.PrepareAsync() and Report.ShowAsync().
They can be used when handling large reports to display the preview window while the report is being prepared to improve the user experience.
Improves toolbar in the context menu
The context menu has been improved when right-clicking on an object.
A toolbar now appears at the top, which contains frequently used items, such as edit, cut, copy, paste, etc.
Added the ability to customize barcode font settings
The "Font" property is now available for "Barcode" objects.
Set the font parameters used when displaying barcode texts.
The default font is Arial but you can now choose a different font, change its size, style, etc.
"Convert general to text format" option when exporting to Microsoft Excel 2007
The Excel 2007 export has a new option that allows you to convert the FastReport .NET general format to Excel text format (general is exported as general by default).
Reports created in previous FastReport .NET versions will be exported in the same way in the new version since this option is disabled by default.
Support for partial report compilation
FastReport.Core, FastReport.Core.Skia and FastReport.CoreWin now enable partial compilation of a report to speed up its preparation if the report script has not been changed in the report and there are no objects that do not support partial compilation.
New WebReport features
Improvements in WASM
Added support for exports - users can now export the resulting reports to various formats, just as is in regular WebReport.
Reflection.Emit compilation has accelerated the loading and preparation of reports without a script in WebAssembly.
Toolbar personalization
Create elements, such as buttons, drop-downs, and input fields, and add them to the toolbar.
Elements can have various options, including images, titles, and styles.
