This release has a lot of bug fixes and improvements.
Recently we have added an export filter package for Lazarus IDE. Now all customers of Fast Report 5 VCL Professional can use these export filters under Lazarus:
- Image export filters (BMP, JPEG, PNG)
- HTML export filters (HTML 4 and HTML 5)
- Open office export filters ODT and ODS formats.
There are also a lot of compatibility changes made for Lazarus such as better support of UTF 8 codepage.
And of course we have many improvements for VCL framework!
- New ability to cache images to file when using matrix export filters (like HTML). Now you can use a file cache for export filters if your images consume more than 2 GB of memory in total.
- New event which fires before export starts. Can be used when you need to make some changes in the result report for exact export filter.
- 2D barcodes like QR support different codepages include UTF 8.
