Digital signature in the new FastReport VCL 2023.1

FastReport VCL 2023.1

We have added the option of an attached and detached digital signature of arbitrary files. They will be used with the help of crypto providers installed in the system. You can see an example of a report with a digital signature at the Demos\FileSignature path. You will find the instructions at this link.

Connecting a digital signature

We had added the ability to set arbitrary sheet names in the following exports: frxBIFFExport, frxXMLExport, frxXLSXExport via the OnGenerateSheetName event.

The SVG image engine now supports "pattern" for object fills.

Improved SVG Images

Added AutoSize mode for TfrxOLEView object.

Improved compatibility with the latest Lazarus version and added the TfrxDateEditControl object.

Support for Delphi 7 has also been discontinued with this version.

We have also optimized the work of the existing functionality and fixed some bugs.
