  This property allows the display of whole row data (within nested rows) on
  one page without breaking it

+ added export of external URLs in PDF export
  A component on a report can have an external URL assigned to it, like "https://fast-report.com". These components are exported to PDFs as clickable areas

+ added property DataOnly to exports.
  The DataOnly property can filter out non-data report components when exporting. This allows the export of only those components that are considered to bedata

+ optimized merging of cells in BIFF export
  BIFF export has been optimized for certain kind of reports containing many memos which must be represented as several Excel cells

+ picture format in all exports switched to PNG
The default format for exported pictures has become PNG.
For example, if a report contains pictures and is exported to RTF, then the resultant RTF file will contain PNG pictures.
The PNG format is necessary to reduce the data size of exported pictures and increase their quality
