We are pleased to announce the release of a cross-platform library for executing complex scripts in C# called FastScript .NET. Libraries for executing complex scripts provide the ability to dynamically generate and execute code, which can be useful in various scenarios such as developing plugins, creating user scripts, and so on. Working in Constrained Environments. FastScript .NET is built on the classic "lexer-parser-interpreter" model. It does not use compilation to machine code, allowing it to operate in environments where code generation is restricted (NativeAOT, iOS, WASM). Its performance is comparable to other solutions that use interpretation (such as Lua and JavaScript), although it is slower than compiled C# code. C# as a Scripting Language. FastScript .NET has full integration with the .NET platform and allows the use of all libraries, frameworks, and APIs. A unified code base in C# for scripts eliminates the need to maintain code in multiple languages. Compactness. The small size of the library (just 300 KB) makes it convenient to use even in resource-constrained projects without overloading the system. Since version 2025.1.21 FastScript .NET is part of the WinForms, WPF, WEB, Mono and Avalonia packages. Our library is also part of Ultimate.NET solutions with all source codes. Learn more

Friends, this year has been eventful and productive for us!     📌 Key achievements Release of new products: we launched FastReport Avalonia – a tool for cross-platform work on reports for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Changes in approach to product formation: we split the product content in a way where you do not have to buy unnecessary functionality.     What changed for our products? For Delphi and Lazarus: Improved work with hierarchical data in FastReport for Delphi and Lazarus by adding the TfrTreeView component. Additional capabilities for working with maps were added by supporting the GeoJSON and TopoJSON formats. Improved digital signatures, added infinite table width, expanded barcode capabilities, and improved display accuracy and compatibility of PDF, HTML5, SVG, DOCX, and XLSX export filters. In the latest version, we have enhanced the capabilities of working with reports in complex scenarios and provided a higher level of integration with modern development environments, including RAD Studio 12.2. Next year, we plan to add new components, support for RFID tag EPC in ZPL, new transports, improved export filters, and much more.     For .NET: We have abandoned the legacy .NET Standard 2.0 - 3.1 and .NET 5 compatibility layer in our libraries. Now the minimum supported .NET version is .NET 6, and the minimum supported framework is .NET Framework 4.6.2. With the latest version of the FastReport .NET library, FastReport Business Graphics .NET and FastCube .NET now support .NET 9. To do this, we abandoned binary serialization (BinaryFormatter). This year, we relaunched FastCube .NET, a library for working with OLAP cubes and operational analysis of big data. Now FastCube.Core.Web supports  Linux and MacOS. It opens up the possibility of developing web applications with OLAP functionality on any server. One of the key changes in the FastCube .NET 2025.1 release was the complete removal of the dependency on the System.Drawing.Common library in the FastCube.Core module. This was done to increase the library compatibility with various platforms and improve performance. The FastReport Online Designer visual template designer has also changed. In 2024, a new "SparkGraphic" object was added, it became possible to create guidelines on the page and a new component menu was implemented. When editing the report code, the Intellisense functionality was added, which provides automatic code completion and syntax hints, which allows users to write code faster and more accurately directly in the web interface. In 2025, we plan to add a new plugin allowing you to convert user reports from MS Word to .frx. In addition, a connection to Google Sheets will be implemented in the future. FastScript .NET for executing scripts will be released in the first half of the year. The new library will contain a compilation technology that allows you to convert intermediate code into machine code for a specific platform (Native AOT). We are striving to create a complete ecosystem of products for different platforms, so next year we will also work on their integration with each other.     For service solutions: In FastReport Cloud, we improved the automatic task execution system, added printing from the browser, and developed a font storage, finalized the SDK. Improved the usability and speed of the API Added new API methods for working with the cloud, allowing you to perform familiar operations faster and more conveniently: bulk copying, deleting, and moving files; a new upload method that allows you to upload large files and use fewer resources; methods for obtaining the current user's rights to files, groups, tasks, and data sources; added the ability to receive and edit report parameters without opening the report itself for editing. Made the user panel more convenient Improved work with the Online Designer: added a Richtext preview, and style templates for ChartObject. Gave the ability to edit the user's avatar, made a new trash bin for deleting files, improved the Tasks page; finalized data sources, giving the ability to use stored procedures and add custom tables from SQL. In 2025, we plan to release a new product and add parameter transfer to StaticPreview UI.     We thank you for trusting us in 2024. Let's move on and create the future together! Happy Holidays!

In the world of software development, timely adaptation of tools to new platform versions is crucial for the convenience of developers and the efficiency of their work. And now FastReport .NET, FastReport Business Graphics .NET, and FastCube .NET from version 2025.1.8 supports .NET 9. This opens up new opportunities for users using the latest versions of Microsoft technologies.     Has anything changed in FastReport .NET? We have deprecated binary serialization. BinaryFormatter was the cause of a number of security issues, and Microsoft deprecated it in .NET 9. Our team also removed the BinaryFormatter class from the source code.     Why is .NET 9 support important? .NET 9 is the latest version Microsoft platform, offering improved performance, updated libraries, and enhanced developer capabilities. Key changes are: 1. Garbage Collector (GC) improvements. Optimized memory management reduces application response time. 2. Support for new C# 12 language features. Features such as advanced data constructs make code more compact and understandable. 3. Enhanced cloud capabilities. Updated tools and libraries simplify the development of cloud applications and microservices. 4. Compatibility with previous versions of .NET. Migrating to .NET 9 is becoming less painful for existing projects.   Once again, we would like to emphasize the importance of timely support for current versions of various technologies. Fast Reports team always tries to make changes to our products simultaneously with the appearance of updates.
