Update of Delphi and Lazarus Products To 2025.2 Version

Get ready for the highly anticipated update for the entire line of Delphi and Lazarus products! With version 2025.2, you’ll enjoy exciting new features, including an easy-to-use tool for configuring watermarks, an updated set of server components, a brand-new dialog page mechanism for web reports, and the innovative TfrxDeviceCommand report object for RFID tags. We've also made significant enhancements to the reporting engine, improved export and transport options, added theme support, and much more! Upgrade your product today and unlock a world of new possibilities with us!     New Features in FastReport VCL User-Friendly Watermark Customization Tool   A customizable watermark feature has been added for report pages. Watermarks are often used for document protection or to indicate the type of document. We have introduced an easy-to-use tool that allows you to configure watermarks for each page of the report effortlessly. Any page in the report can have multiple watermarks, enabling individual customization for print, display, or export. Watermarks can utilize both images and text, with a wide range of customizable parameters (text rotation, style). Watermarks can be set up both in the report designer and in the preview mode.   Update of Server Components   With the release of 2025.2, all available export filters from FastReport VCL are now also available in server components. Take advantage of all these formats in your web application.   New Mechanism for WEB Report Dialog Pages   The completely revamped mechanism allows for the use of container objects such as PageControl and groups, as well as extending the functionality of available controls on the dialog page for web dialogs. In this update, we have expanded support for new components for dialog pages. Specifically, we have added dialog page controls that were not previously available in WEB. List of new dialog form controls: Date picker — date picker DBComboBox — drop-down list linked to a data source List Box — selection list CheckListBox — selection list (with checkboxes) MaskEdit (without mask) —Input field Password edit —input field for password PageControl —creating pages with tabs GroupControl — grouping panel Panel — panel You can now also apply a custom HTTP header for your projects.   New TfrxDeviceCommand Report Object  This non-visual object is designed to send commands to devices (exports) that can process these commands. In the current version, the object contains a settings class for RFID tags. RFID tags transmit non-visual data to the ZPL export to write this data to the chip using specialized equipment. The RFID tag class has its own editor and set of properties for precise adjustment of the information being written. You can read more in our article. Read the article The TfrxPDFView report object now allows you to configure the range of pages to be output. You can set values using expressions in the TfrxPDFView.PagesRange property. Thus, you have access to filtering the output pages for a PDF document.     Changes in the Report Engine Combining Object Output Techniques New changes to the report engine allow you to combine different object output techniques, giving you the freedom to create complex reports with a variety of options. The operation of the bottom alignment mechanism (baBottom) of a growing band has been changed when one of the band's objects is split into several parts (pages). In the old implementation, an object with the baBottom property is displayed on the very first part of the data break. The new mechanism for operating such a report corrects objects with baBottom, placing them on the last part of the data (at the end of the band). Please note that this behavior of the report engine is considered correct and should be taken into account when developing reports.   Support for smMaxHeight Stretching for a Static Table (AllowSplit rows only) The smMaxHeight stretching in a table works differently than in objects. The desired height is set for the entire table on the band. Then it is distributed among the rows with the AllowSplit=True property set and AutoSize=False disabled. Rows with the MaxHeight value are also taken into account. This approach allows you to choose which rows of the table can be stretched to fill the empty space, and which cannot.   New TfrxRichView Report Object Splitting Behavior The RichText object allows you to use tables, images, and other objects that cannot be split for a specific size. Such objects could sometimes create entire non-splittable blocks of content that extended beyond the page. In the current version, TfrxRichView splitting has been reworked and works selectively depending on the situation. Finding the smallest splittable part. If an object contains a part that cannot fit on a new page and is non-splittable (an object or table row is larger than the height of the entire sheet). Then the smallest "non-splittable" part is now found for such a part and is displayed as is. Splitting does not stop. If there are other parts, they will also be split and output. The main difference from the old mechanism is the search for the smallest value for the non-splittable part and the continuation of the build. Previously, all content fell into the "non-splittable" part and the separation stopped there, and some of the text could be lost. Finding the largest splittable part. If a part is encountered that cannot fit on a new page, but it is splittable, such as the same table, then a search for the largest splittable part will be performed and the output will continue.     Report Designer Added Theming Support (Runtime Themes) The report designer and its components have been adapted to support themes, both system and custom. Now the report designer will always be in the same style as your application! In Rad Studio 12.3, work with monitors with high display scaling was improved. This change is aimed at improving the quality of visualization and usability of the interface in the development environment when working on monitors with high resolution and scaling settings. In this update, the dialog editor in the report designer has been redesigned. Now this is a fixed workspace, just like the report page. The position of the dialog can be changed through the object inspector. Improved Code completion in the report code editing window. For your convenience, a pop-up menu has been added for the watch list window. We also redesigned the "Designer Options" window for the best support for small screen resolutions.   Exports and Transports Support for user-defined characters has been implemented in PDF and SVG exports (EUDC). Also improved alignment of RTL text with ligatures. Added support for ZUGFeRD 2.3 with the following profiles: “MINIMUM”,” BASIC WL”, ”BASIC”, ”EN 16931”, ”EXTENDED”, ”XRECHNUNG”. An example with the inclusion of data for this format can be found in InvoiceDemo, which comes with the product. In the new version, the mechanisms for exporting to XLSX and DOCX formats have been improved. This has enhanced the quality of the generated documents and expanded their customization options. The e-mail (SMTP) transport has been improved with native support for TLS\STARTTLS and support for XOAUTH authorization. Use secure channels to send your reports.     FastReport Lazarus In addition to the fundamental changes that have been included in the VCL and Lazarus versions, FastReport for Lazarus has received support for high-resolution monitors (HiDPI).     FastCube VCL and FMX In the VCL version of FastCube, all TTreeView controls have been replaced with TfrTreeView. All versions received filter indication in the list of available fields. The FMX version received the ability to save Custom Filter and Custom Group, as well as a number of improvements and fixes.     FastQueryBuilder Added support for high-resolution monitors (HiDPI).     FastScript In this update, we have implemented Android support. This innovation works only when compiling with strings that are indexed starting from one. You can use all the power of the script engine in your mobile Android applications. Added support for classes for working with XML and JSON. You can read more about how to work with these formats using the example of loading data into a report in this article. Read the article     FastReport VCL Controls For the TfrShellTreeView control, it became possible to create custom nodes and shortcuts to other nodes. You can read about how to configure TfrShellTreeView and add custom nodes in this article. Read the article     Installer You can now install our products with Android support. Also, support for installing packages on the 64-bit version of the IDE Embarcadero RAD Studio 12.3 has been added.     Complete List of Changes: 2025.2 version ========================   VCL.Core [Localization]- Fixed sorting in LocalizationEditor;

Importing documents from Word is already available in FastReport .NET Ultimate

With the release of 2025.2 subscribe to Ultimate .NET has become even a better deal! All license holders can get an additional plugin that allows you to import Microsoft Word documents (.docx). When you open such a file, it is converted into a report template FastReport .NET (.frx). The subscription price for Ultimate .NET has remained the same. Due to the large differences in formats, it is not always possible to fully match the two documents. However, this plugin allows you to significantly reduce the time needed to create a template based on an existing docx file. At the moment, our plugin does not support: highlighting the background of a part of the string, shapes, as well as nested vector graphics Vector Markup Language (VML) and OLE objects.  To start using this plugin in your business solution right now, update your license to version 2025.2 in your personal account. Then follow the instructions below to register the dll in FastReport, or connect the nuget package FastReport.Plugins.OOXMLImport.

Updating .NET products to version 2025.2

Meet the new release 2025.2  for supply options FastReport .NET: WinForms, WPF, Avalonia, Mono, WEB, Ultimate. Support is waiting for you in this update .NET 9, a library for executing scripts in C#, a plugin for importing documents from Word, a connector to Apache Ignite, improvements to the designer and exports, as well as new features in WebReport. Don't miss the opportunity to update FastReport .NET and expand your capabilities!     Import of Word documents The FastReport .NET Ultimate component set now includes a plug-in that allows you to import Microsoft Word (.docx) documents. When you open such a file, it is converted into a FastReport .NET report template (.frx). Due to the large differences in formats, it is not always possible to completely match two documents. However, this plugin allows you to significantly reduce the time required to create a template based on an existing docx file. At the moment our plugin does not support: background highlighting of part of a line, Shapes, as well as nested vector graphics Vector Markup Language (VML) and OLE objects. You can read about the peculiarities of import and how to connect the plugin in the article. Read the article     .NET 9 Support This platform improves application performance and adds many new features for your projects. There is more support in this update .NET 9 for: FastReport .NET, FastReport.Core, FastReport.Core.Skia, FastReport.WPF, FastReport.Avalonia, FastReport.Web, FastReport.Web.Skia, FastReport.Blazor.Wasm. We have done away with binary serialization. BinaryFormatter caused a number of security issues and Microsoft in .NET 9 dropped its use. Our team has also removed the BinaryFormatter class from the source code. You can read more about it at this link. Learn more     Report Designer Improvements Also in this version, several useful features have been introduced to simplify work with reports. In the Object Inspector, you can now quickly copy data from the list of object properties using the Ctrl + C hotkeys. This will help you easily transfer object properties between different parts of the document or even between different reports. In addition, it is now possible to copy totals and parameters while preserving the nesting hierarchy. This means that when copying complex data structures, their original organization will be preserved, avoiding      Connection to Apache Ignite With this update, a new plugin has been added that greatly simplifies the process of working with Apache Ignite databases when creating reports. This plugin allows you to directly connect reports to the specified databases, providing convenient access to the necessary data for analysis and visualization.  The Apache Ignite connector is implemented based on the .NET Thin Client Ignite.NET. It provides the ability to connect to Apache Ignite clusters, work with caches (including SQL tables) and process various types of data. In addition, the connector supports connecting to one or more Apache Ignite nodes. Node addresses are specified in host:port format and separated by commas. Connection is possible with or without authentication (if authenticationEnabled is used in the configuration). The connector supports working with caches created as key-value and SQL tables. For caches with QueryEntity metadata, operations of getting the list of fields and their data types are supported. Read more in the article. Read the article     Improvements of the preview window In OutlineControl we have added handy buttons with icons for minimizing and maximizing. These buttons were there before, but without icons. In addition, properties have been added that allow you to change the width and height of the scrollbars in the preview window.     Export Improvements Added export of number, currency, date, time and percent formats to OpenOffice Calc (.ods).  This update also introduces a new paragraph export mode for OpenOffice Writer (.odt) format files. This makes it easier to edit generated documents and makes them more visually understandable to humans. The new export mode does not replace but complements the existing mode and extends its capabilities.   In addition, an “Autosize width” option for MS Excel export has been added. Will only work with certain values of text object properties: AutoWidth and AutoShrink properties are enabled; HorzAling property value is any except Justify.     Changes in WebReport   Search across the entire report Added text search for the entire report, similar to the desktop version of the Viewer, if a word is found on another page, the viewer will automatically switch to it. Search is available in WebReport with FastReport.Core, in WebReport for Blazor Server and WebReport for Blazor Wasm. You can control the display of the search button by using the property:  WebReport.Toolbar.ShowSearchButton = false; The highlighting color of the words found can be changed using the property: WebReport.Toolbar.SearchHighlight = Color.Red;   Improvements in caching configuration for WebReport With the release of the new version, WebReport now has additional options for caching configuration. First, you can now set individual caching parameters for each specific instance of WebReport. Previously, only general settings applied to all reports were available, which could be inconvenient, especially if you needed to keep certain reports in memory longer. With the webReport.CacheOptions property, you can customize the cache retention time for a specific report. Secondly, there is more flexibility in setting the report cache retention time thanks to the AbsoluteExpirationDuration and AbsoluteExpiration options. Previously, only the CacheDuration option was used, which was based on a sliding principle: if the report was used for a given amount of time, the timer would reset and the report would remain in memory. This could result in a report never being removed from the cache. The new parameters allow you to specify the exact time when a report should be permanently deleted from the cache, regardless of its usage. In this case, CacheDuration and the new parameters AbsoluteExpiration and AbsoluteExpirationDuration can be used together.   // Global settings for all WebReports services.AddFastReport(options => { options.CacheOptions.CacheDuration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10); options.CacheOptions.AbsoluteExpirationDuration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(20); });   // Individual WebReport settings, which take precedence webReport.CacheOptions = new WebReportCacheOptions() { CacheDuration = // ..., AbsoluteExpiration = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30), // or AbsoluteExpirationDuration = // ... };     Updated demo web application on ASP .NET Core We have updated our demo application to ASP.NET Core, so that the product pleases you not only with its functionality, but also with its appearance. The updated application is available at the link. Online demo     Updated Online Designer Demo In addition, we have updated the Online Designer demo application, where you can view more examples of our reports, export them, and try the updated online designer on them. The updated application is available at the link. Try the demo     Support of FastScript .NET Added ability to use FastScript .NET to run report scripts. FastScript .NET is a library for running C# scripts. It does not depend on CodeDOM/Roslyn and can be used in environments where code generation is restrictedя (Native AOT, iOS, WASM).  FastScript .NET is included in the following supply options FastReport .NET: WinForms, WPF, Avalonia, Mono, WEB, Ultimate. To use FastScript .NET in the FastReport .NET: in your application, add the FastReport.Plugins.FastScript nuget package; run the following code before the first use of the Report class: FastReport.Code.CodeProvider.DefaultProvider = typeof(FastReport.Code.FastScript.FastScriptCodeProvider); Now, all the reports will utilise FastScript .NET to calculate expressions and run the report script. FastScript .NET does not support VB.NET script language. The dynamic type is not supported too, some of "Advanced Matrix" functions will not work. Detailed documentation on how to work with FastScript .NET is available at this link.
