Starting June 1, Fast Reports will switch to a new product forming system. Previously, the product line was formed on the principle of "Product + platform", and compatibility with platforms was evolutionarily added to the entire tool. Now a software product will represent a more specific set of components, providing a wider range of choices for the specific needs of developers. We have divided products into a set of components and put them together in such a way that you no longer have to pay for unnecessary or unused functionality. This makes our software solutions more flexible. Now you can purchase not the entire report generator, for example FastReport .NET, but choose the set of its components that you need. We kept the possibility to choose the license by the number of developers, and also left the option to purchase a separate version with source code or web components. Ultimate edition will also be available, which contains maximum components and additional tools for working with reports. The changes will take effect on June 1, 2024.   You can read about the package components and prices here: Delphi direction   .NET direction

We have expanded the list of components available for developing your business projects. Now, the subscription to the Ultimate Edition .NET has become even more advantageous! The edition includes a new cross-platform library for generating reports and documents with the ability to print output files on macOS, Linux, and Windows, supporting Avalonia UI, .NET 6, and higher. At the same time, the subscription price has not changed. FastReport Ultimate .NET is a cost-effective solution for creating projects on all modern .NET platforms, including ASP.NET, Blazor, WASM, WPF, WinForms, Avalonia UI, Mono, and others. With your team, you can work both in the desktop designer and directly from the browser. The Ultimate edition also includes components for data visualization, specifically business graphics with a set of charts and OLAP products for fast processing of large data sets. Owners of the existing Ultimate .NET subscription can now test FastReport Avalonia for free in their personal account.

We are pleased to announce the release of the first version of the universal reporting component FastReport Avalonia. Develop your business applications with a unified user interface on macOS, Linux, and Windows simultaneously. One piece of code—three platforms! Our component is compatible not only with the familiar x64 and x86 processor architectures but also works stably on arm64. It supports Avalonia UI, .NET 6, and higher. The reporting generator includes a powerful report engine, a user-friendly designer with a familiar interface, and a fast report viewer for viewing reports. FastReport Avalonia uses the SkiaSharp graphics engine for maximum comfort. You also have access to all report export formats—PDF, Excel, MS Word, and many more. FastReport Avalonia is part of the unified FastReport ecosystem in C#. Reports created in other products will work in FastReport Avalonia and vice versa. In FastReport Cloud, you can store your templates, reports, and data sources and then use them in the desktop designer. To integrate into your project, you need to install the required package from the NuGet repository or download the package from our website to your computer and add the necessary libraries to the project. No additional modules or special extensions are required.

This spring we will release a powerful library with a single user interface that allows you to embed the report generator in Linux, macOS and Windows applications using Avalonia UI. Avalonia UI is a .NET-based framework actively used for developing cross-platform user interfaces. With a universal API for building applications, Avalonia supports all major platforms and runtimes and has its own unique interface. Thus, your business solutions will look identical on each operating system. FastReport Avalonia includes a powerful data processing core, a familiar report designer and a viewer for ready-made reports. Also in the new product, all formats for exporting the generated report are available - PDF, Excel, MS Word and many others. The library is fully backward compatible with FastReport WPF, FastReport .NET, FastReport Mono. It supports Avalonia UI, .NET 7 and .NET 8. And even before the official release, we invite you to try its features in a free demo! Learn more about FastReport Avalonia and try the free demo now.

Starting from minor build 2024.1.8, FastReport is no longer supported .NET Core 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, .NET 5. Supporting outdated versions of the framework was consuming a significant amount of team resources, delaying the development of new solutions. With the drop of older versions of .NET, we will be able to focus on supporting more current and up-to-date technologies. With the upgrade of the minimum version, our WebReport will finally be able to take full advantage of DotNet 6. This will speed up the development of new features and highly improve the performance of projects. The last stable build that still contains support for .NET Core 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, .NET 5 is FastReport .NET 2024.1.0.

You can get the latest version of FastReport .NET, which supported .NET Core 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, .NET 5, upon request to technical support. Since we now do not guarantee the usability of versions prior to .NET 6, technical support for these questions related to those versions will be discontinued.
