In FastReport .NET 2019.4 we significantly improved polygons for which we added Bezier curves and new editing modes. Now you can work with the whole polygon, add a curve to it, change the curve created earlier, and you can also add, delete and move points of the polygon.
Added new time format.
Added JSON data connection, which is now available by default and does not require the installation of a plugin.
For FastReport .NET Core, the graphics dependency has been changed from CoreCompat.System.Drawing to System.Drawing.Common.

On the Data protection day, we decided to prepare an article about the PDF documents protection. PDF has become one of the world standards today; it’s a good idea to understand how to protect it.

From unauthorized access.

There are many articles about working with PDF files in FastReport, and some of them are about creating PD ...
