New features Added new Visual Studio-styled icons. You may switch between icon packs in the "View/Options/User Interface" window (or, "File/Options/User Interface" if you use ribbon UI): The new icons are well suited for hiDPI screens. Added ability to reset the FastReport configuration stored in the FastReport.Config file in the user's profile. It can be done in the "View/Options/User Interface" window, the "Reset config" button. Restart of the designer is required in order to apply changes. Added ability for the Text object to display DB filed names in a simplified form when designing a report. You can activate this option in the "View/Options/Objects appearance" window. This option is off by default. When you turn it on the Text object with a single DB field will display the field name part only, with no datasource name: It makes the report look cleaner especially when it contains a lot of small objects. You still can see a full text of object in the status bar. Added ability to set up each cell in the Matrix object's corner area. To do this use the cell's context menu and its commands "Split cell", "Merge cells": Added ability to connect to ElasticSearch. Connection available in data wizard and from code. Added barcode Japanese Post 4 - State Code. Added the collapse all/expand all buttons and, a search field for the report tree and data tree in the designer. When clicking on + tree will expand. On - tree will collapse. These changes should simplify working with reports containing many objects and/or data sources. The RichText to report objects converter has been significantly improved and optimized. Added FastReport Business Graphics integration objects (\Extras\Objects\FastReportBGObjects). Universal plugins FastReport.Data Packages with FastReport.Data plugins have been updated. Now they include plugins for different FastReport editions (.NET, Core, CoreWin, Open Source) and automatically connect the necessary library, depending on the product you use. The FastReport edition 2021.3.0 or higher is required for correct work. The FastReport.Core.Data, FastReport.CoreWin.Data, and FastReport.OpenSource.Data plugins are declared obsolete and are no longer supported. Localizations In the logic of the localization change small changes were made. 1. Added package FastReport.Localization. This package contains localization files for FastReport.NET, FastReport.Core, FastReport.CoreWin, FastReport.Mono, FastReport.OpenSource products and creates the Localization directory in the output directory of the user project when adding this package. 2. Added new API for changing the localization using the CultureInfo type - FastReport.Utils.Res.LoadLocale(CultureInfo culture).  When this method is called, FastReport searches for the appropriate localization for the selected culture. Loaded locales are cached. For this method to work correctly, you must install the FastReport.Localization package from step 1 in your project or set the path to the folder with the localization files in the FastReport.Utils.Res.LocaleFolder property. Fixes - Fixed bug with Dock and Anchor properties of the objects that are inside the Table/Matrix cell. - Fixed stack overflow bug when you add Subreport object to the page footer band. - Fixed bug with SVG export if the system's DPI setting is greater than 96DPI. Complete list of FastReport Mono 2021.4 changes [Engine] + Added connection to ElasticSearch. + Added a new barcode - Japanese PostNet. + Added the Res.LoadLocale (CultureInfo) method, which changes the selected locale by the CultureInfo argument. Loaded locales are cached. For correct operation, the added FastReport.Localization package is required. * Optimized and unified converter RichText to report objects. - Fixed a bug with incorrect tab width when TextObject.TextRenderType = TextRenderType.HtmlTextRenderer. - Fixed a bug with SubreportObject on a page footer band which caused StackOverflow exception. - Fixed a bug with Dock and Anchor properties of objects inside table/matrix cells. - Fixed a bug leading to System.ArgumentException when drawing PictureObject located outside the band. - Fixed a bug with incorrect work of right anchor (Anchor = AnchorStyles.Right) when page has unlimited width. - Fixed a bug with replacing a custom font with a default font when preparing a report. - Fixed a bug with vertical alignment when converting RTF (by default, now Top instead of Center). - Fixed a bug with converting RTF tables to report objects.   [Designer] + Added simplified display of DB field names in the designer. + Added collapse all/expand all button and search field for Report tree and Data tree. + New icons added. Use the designer's "View|Options|User interface" dialog to switch between icon packs. - Fixed a bug leading to the crash of the report designer with an incorrect table in the data source. [Preview] - Fixed a bug with saving prepared reports containing converted RichObject.   [Exports] + Added option when export to Word 2007 "Do not add section breaks on page breaks".
