Improvements

Microsoft .NET

• Added SaveProjectInUtf8 to LlOption enumeration.
• Added ImprovedTableLineAnchoring to LlOption enumeration.
• If a TOC, IDX or GTC file did not exist at print time, the wrong error message could be displayed ("invalid job handle" instead of "file not found").
• Added ImprovedTableLineAnchoring to LlOption enumeration.
• The OData constructor now consumes an ICredentials interface instead of a NetworkCredential instance.

Dataprovider

• The CsvDataProvider now recognizes an undelimited, empty field correctly and thus is more fault tolerant.
• The DbCommandSetDataProvider now also supports fields with a "." in the field name.
• In native support of expressions, the handling of BOOL fields is now improved to get rid of unnecessary nested comparisons.

Designer

• Improved treeview performance for a huge number of variables.
• The RTF editor always changes the keyboard layout according to the current selection. This can now be switched off.

Print

• If the USER printer had a different USER format than the project, the project's USER format is now added to the paper formats as "Default" and can be re-applied.
• Printers that were defined using a formula were not editable in the print dialog. Now, if they are encapsulated in a "ChangeType(<formula>, "const") wrapper, they are editable again.
• For label printers where the paper size is modified after a project was created, there was a problem detecting that the visible paper size was not the paper size stored in the project. Now the dimensions are shown in the layout editor.

Export

• JSON Export now includes custom label information for each table.

Report Server

• Improved client error handling when the connection to the report server database cannot be established at runtime.
• Improved handling of corrupted designer extension settings.
• Selecting data sources with resulting bad access rights in a report template results in a warning indicating that some selected groups are invalid, instead of removing them without the user's knowledge.
• Access rights in a report template now only show available groups determined by the selected data sources.
• The built-in administrator group is now automatically added to newly created data sources.
• If the PostgreSQL dataprovider can't recognize the internal database type of a routine parameter, it will now fallback the parameter type to text.

Other
