News

The new version expands the capabilities of the reporting engine: new properties have been added for the dynamic table builder and report band management, the report designer has been improved (specifically, a “Snap to Grid” alignment mode has been added), and new functions have been implemented in FastQueryBuilder. Furthermore, report objects have been enhanced, new capabilities for working with PDF have been added (automatic font substitution, color profile selection), changes have been made to DOCX and XLSX export, and converters from other reporting systems have been updated. A key change is the provision of full compatibility with Embarcadero RAD Studio 13 (including Delphi 13 and C++Builder 13), while maintaining backward compatibility with older versions of Delphi.     Embarcadero RAD Studio 13 Support Our team has completed work to ensure full compatibility of FastReport VCL (and all its distribution variants) with RAD Studio 13. We have thoroughly tested the changes, preserving backward compatibility with older versions of Delphi. Support for RAD Studio 13, Delphi 13, and C++Builder 13 gives developers access to new IDE features, improved application performance and stability, and reduces debugging time.     Reporting Engine: New Features The reporting engine is constantly being improved, offering more and more tools for report creation. The dynamic table builder has received two new properties: FitPartsToPageWidth and MinimumTableWidth. These help manage the pagination process of tabular reports. Using the FitPartsToPageWidth property, you can stretch each part of the table to the maximum page width, filling the free space. The MinimumTableWidth property sets the minimum table size before pagination, proportionally stretching it to the specified size. This is useful for synchronizing multiple tables. Managing report bands is now easier. Group headers and footers have a new property: KeepWithData. It specifies that a group header or footer should remain together with the data record when moving to a new page. This property is similar to KeepHeader and KeepFooter, but works with group bands. The capabilities for controlling the output of report objects have also been expanded. The new PrintOn property offers a set of flags for fine-tuning. For example, you can output an object only on headers that are repeated on a new page (the ptRepeatedBand flag) or only on the first page of the report (the ptFirstPage flag).     Report Designer and UI Our template designer has received several new features that simplify working with reports. Now you can use the “Snap to Grid” alignment mode. In this mode, objects always snap to the grid when moving or resizing. Previously, the grid step was used for objects, meaning they could be moved off the grid if they weren’t initially placed on it. By default, the old “Grid Step” mode remains active. The new mode enables precise object alignment even in existing reports. All major text editors now support text replacement, in addition to search. The chart editor has added the ability to clone chart series for quick creation of new series.     FastQueryBuilder FastQueryBuilder now features search and replace functions in its editors, just like the report designer.     Report Objects Improvements Several report objects have received new features that will make your reports even more flexible and convenient. Table cells can now align objects in a new way. The TfrxContainerPadding.FromCenter property has been added for this purpose. It allows inverting the client alignment area, making automatic alignment inside cells more flexible. The PDFView object has a new mode of operation, pdOneToOneNormalizeAutoRotation, for the DetailStretchMode property. In this mode, landscape-oriented pages are automatically rotated when output in the report. Watermark settings have become even more convenient. You can now adjust the transparency of the watermark text. Support for Macro PDF417 has been added. A comprehensive set of properties has been introduced to the standard PDF417 object, allowing for detailed configuration in accordance with the standard’s requirements. Additionally, the QR barcode now supports the GS1 standard.     Export Filters With the 2026.1 update, PDF export has gained automatic font substitution. This long-awaited improvement eliminates the need to search for Unicode fonts. The export filter itself determines the font used by the system to display the text and includes it in the PDF file. PDF export now uses Windows system functions, allowing for a result that is as close as possible to the preview. Another new feature for PDF export is the ability to select a color profile for reports in PDF/A-3U format. Three options are available: Standard RGB Typographic CMYK Grayscale. You can choose the color model depending on your tasks: whether it is standard grayscale printing or typographic printing in CMYK. Furthermore, other export formats have been improved. For example, watermark export has been fixed in DOCX and XLSX, and an option to disable gridlines during export has been added to XLSX.     Converters from Other Reporting Systems Converter filters are now collected in separate frxReportConverters packages. They can be easily added to your application using components from the palette (TfrxSaveFRX, TfrxOpenQuickReport, TfrxOpenReportBuilder, TfrxOpenFRF, TConverterDMP2GDI, TConverterGDI2DM). Bugs in the filters have also been updated and fixed.     FastReport FMX PDF export now includes support for invoices according to the ZUGFeRD standard. An example of using this functionality can be found in the InvoiceDemo. The “SimpleText” layout engine has received a significant update. The new version works much faster than the old one with large amounts of text (when HTML tag output is disabled) and fixes layout issues.     Version 2026.1 VCL.Core ---------------  [Engine]+ Full support for RAD Studio 13 has been added.+ New functions, including min, max, and others, have been added.+ Company name, version number, and website link have been added to the component context menu on the form.* Documentation has been updated.- An issue where the default indexed getter with a const reference in C++ Builder generated incorrect header files has been fixed.   [Graphic]- CreateBitmap. has been fixed.- An issue where a zero pen width in an SVG image was rendered with a device context width of 1 pixel has been fixed.- Conversion from BMP32 to PNG format has been fixed.- A memory access violation related to SVG image handling has been fixed.- Export of semi-transparent PNG images has been fixed.   FMX.Core ---------------[Engine]+ Support for min, max, and other new functions has been added.+ Company name, version number, and a link to the company website have been added to the component context menu on the form.+ Support for RAD Studio 13 has been added. * Documentation has been updated. - Compatibility issue with the order of enumeration aliases in RAD Studio 13 for FMX has been fixed.

A new version of FastReport .NET 2026.1 has been released with several significant updates: a unified demo center for .NET products with demonstration applications, a report designer with built-in plugins for databases. A new Ribbon UI interface and RibbonDesignerControl have been added, and exports have been improved (the ability to export formulas to Excel and configure image quality when exporting to Word). Changes have also been made to our WebReport. The toolbar design has been improved, cache clearing has been added when the Circuit is completed in Blazor Server, and additional settings have been added for WebReport created through the Online Designer. WEB demo applications for ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Blazor Server, and Blazor WASM have been updated, and much more.     New Features Unified Demo Center for the .NET Lineup We have a rich lineup of .NET products. Each one comes with at least one demo application. In some cases, there can be up to a dozen. We’ve developed a demo center—an application that brings together all our demonstration examples. Now, after installing it, you can explore and try out all of our products. In the demo center, you can select the application you need. It will launch either as a program or open in your browser for an online demonstration.   Report Designer Build with Connection Plugins The report designer allows you to use connections to various databases as data sources for reports. Some data sources are available by default. However, many of them are implemented as plugins for technical reasons. The advantage of plugins is that you can install only the ones you need. But there is also a downside: they need to be downloaded, compiled, and added to the designer. Difficulties can arise at this stage. To avoid installing plugins yourself, we’ve included a build of the designer with all available plugins in our application. Learn more about the designer with plugins in the article.  Read the article   New Ribbon UI and RibbonDesignerControl A modern interface for report designers based on Ribbon UI is a significant upgrade, improving the user experience. It features high interactivity and an intuitive structure, optimizing report creation and editing. Previously, Ribbon support already existed, but the old interface had its drawbacks. It can still be enabled in the designer settings, as before.  A restart of the designer is required for the changes to take effect. In addition, a new control has been added — RibbonDesignerControl. It allows you to use Ribbon UI in your own applications. Previously, this was not possible, as only  StandardDesignerControl was available.   Excel Report Export with Formula Support Now, when saving reports to Excel, it’s possible to enable the “Export Formulas” option. This means that text elements, table cells, and matrices with valid Excel formulas will be saved as formulas. When you open such a file in Excel, all the formulas will function correctly. For example, an object containing the text: =A1+B1 Will be converted to a cell with the corresponding formula. If the formula is incorrect from Excel’s perspective, the object will be saved as plain text. Find more detailed information about the limitations and features of exporting with formulas in the article.  Read the article   Image Quality Settings for Word Export You can now configure the image quality when exporting a report to MS Word. A new “Images” tab has appeared in the export settings. There, you can choose to save with the original resolution, for printing, enable compression, or select one of four qualities: standard, low, medium, or high. For more detailed information, read the article. Read the article   Improved Paragraph-Based Export in OpenOffice Writer The paragraph-based export mode in OpenOffice Writer has undergone significant changes. The process is now faster, the document complies with modern standards, and takes up less space. Numerous errors have been fixed, including issues with styles. The logic for generating pages has also been updated.     Changes in WebReport New Toolbar Design in .NET Framework WebReport A new toolbar design has appeared in .NET Framework WebReport, which now matches the other versions of WebReport. To use the updated interface, use the following property: WebReport.UseNewInterface = true; Before: After:   WebReport Cleanup on Circuit Completion in Blazor Server In Blazor Server, the ability to clear WebReport from the cache when a user session (Circuit) ends has been added. A Circuit is a user session based on SignalR (WebSocket or long polling). Now, when a Circuit closes (for example, when a tab is closed or a report is switched), the associated WebReport is automatically removed from the cache, which reduces memory consumption. The option is enabled as follows: services.AddFastReport(options => { options.CacheOptions.UseCircuitScope = true; }); The new UseCircuitScope option works as an add-on to the existing cache settings and does not change their logic. UseCircuitScope can only speed up the removal of the report from the cache, but never extends its lifetime beyond the specified rules.   Configuring a New WebReport Created via Online Designer In the Online Designer, it is now possible to create a new WebReport directly from the interface. However, by default, the report will be empty: without connected data and without configured restrictions. To solve this problem, the following options have been added: services.AddFastReport(options => { options.Designer.OnWebReportCreated = (webReport, serviceProvider) => { // WebReport configuration example webReport.EmbedPictures = true; webReport.Report.RegisterData(...); }; // or an asynchronous version of the method options.Designer.OnWebReportCreatedAsync = (webReport, serviceProvider, cancellationToken) => { webReport.EmbedPictures = true; webReport.Report.RegisterData(...); return Task.CompletedTask; }; }); Using one of these options, you can further configure the WebReport (or the Report itself) using any available parameters. The changes will be immediately applied to the report in the Online Designer. Updated WEB Demos We have updated the WEB demo applications for ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Blazor Server, and Blazor WASM. The updates include a unified design and new reports.   Ability to Disable Borders on WebReport Pages It is now possible to disable the shadows that separate pages in WebReport. To do this, use the following code: WebReport.PageBorderVisible = false;     Full list of changes [Engine]+ added the ability to choose encoding when connecting to an XML database;+ added support for asynchronous requests in database connectors;+ fixed an error with calculating the sizes of Polygon and Polyline objects;* supplemented the description of the IsNull function;* changed behavior in the methods for setting the values of the RFIDLabel.UseAdjustForEPC and RFIDLabel.RewriteEPCbank properties;- fixed an assembly loading error when compiling a report script;- fixed an error with the clipping area in SVG;- fixed a text display error in SVG if absolute character positioning is specified;- fixed an error with resetting the parameter value when setting it using the SetParameterValue() method;- fixed an error where table rows and columns with the Printable property disabled were printed;- fixed an XXE vulnerability in the SVG object;

Every year, Fast Reports shows up at the BASTA! conference to present its strength on the reporting and standard document market. The fall BASTA! conference for .NET, web & AI innovation took place from 23rd till 25th of September 2025 in the beautiful city Mainz in Germany. Over 500 software professionals visited the event and we spoke to 120 people amongst them. One very valuable review from a customer I kept in my mind. A garbage can disposal needs to write invoices to each residential area which includes 300 pages. Already since 1998 they have successfully worked with FastReport .NET Ultimate and have always been renewing the versions. For those potential customers that are planning to switch from another report generator to Fast Reports or deepen the usage of the FastReport products we are scheduling a road show before and after the spring BASTA! in March 2026.     Victoria SchmidtFast Reports Team

On September 18, Fast Reports took part as an exhibitor at the Entwickler SUMMIT, hosted in the historic Colosseum cinema in Berlin to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Entwickler Magazin. The event, organized by Software & Support Media, brought together around 2,000 software professionals and became a vibrant meeting point for knowledge sharing, networking, and inspiration. Among the highlights was the presence of Neal Stephenson, world-famous science-fiction author and tech visionary. For Fast Reports, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the developer community, exchange ideas, and showcase our products to an engaged and curious audience. Participants were also able to participate in a raffle. Congrats to the winners! Looking forward to the next event.

Our team has completed work to ensure full compatibility of FastReport VCL (and all its editions) with RAD Studio 13. We thoroughly tested the changes while maintaining backward compatibility with older Delphi versions. Support for RAD Studio 13, Delphi 13, and C++Builder 13 provides developers with access to new IDE features, improved performance and application stability, as well as reduced debugging time. Update 2025.2.8 with built-in support for RAD Studio 13 is already available in your customer panel.

To mark our company’s anniversary, we’re offering a 20% discount on all editions of FastReport VCL, FastReport .NET, and FastReport Desktop!

DWX is the event for AI, Cloud, Web and .NET. An estimated number of 2500 software developers, AI pioneers and tech decision-makers was expected in the beautiful Congress Centre Rosengarten in Mannheim. Fast Reports was represented with a booth of 4m² supported by a 55“ flat screen where the Fast Reports movie was constantly played. Expert talks were held throughout the day in different rooms.  To attract potential customers Fast Reports decided to give away a backpack with a LED screen on each day of the event. The raffles took place towards the end of the day during the coffee break. While the participants collected the tickets for the raffle and their batches were scanned, we started an informative small talk about the company.  Most of the booth visitors were software developers employed in companies from various work areas, including aviation and medicine. The needs of our potential customers are still the fast reports in terms of the documentation generating speed rate to save time, money and nerves. We could also impress by giving the information about the standard documentation support of FastReport products like PDF A and ZUGFeRD. Nevertheless, the advantages of processing big data volumes by the FastReport products awakened much interest in our leads.  Evening gatherings like the very well organised Casino Night or the Partner Meet Up gave possibilities to make further contacts and introduce Fast Reports to the most potential customers. We are looking forward to participating in the Developer Week next year and would like to motivate the organisers to invite more visitors by Partner Networking over the year.
