You can download demo version of FastReport VCL 5 here Whats new: Classes New fill types available in the Memo object: gradient and glass. Memo object can have several highlight conditions. The highlight condition now includes the following style settings: frame, font, fill and an object visibility. You may turn on and off each setting. Memo object can have several format settings. When a Memo object contains multiple expressions in a text, you may specify a format for each expression. Added Filter property to data bands. You may filter out data rows without using a script. Changes in the report file format: collections like datasets, variables, formats, highlights are written as nested properties for better readability. Old files (FR VCL 3 and 4) are fully supported. Added MouseEnter, MouseLeave events to report objects. Added Visibility property (set of flags - vsPreview, vsPrint, vsExport).   New objects New 2D barcodes - PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code. New barcodes - Code128, EAN128 with auto encoding. Interactivity New interactive report types: detail report and detail page. When you click an interactive object, a new report is built and displayed in a separate tab in the preview window. Added interactivity in the Chart object. Clicking on a chart element, you may build a detail report. Exports New exports: HTML5 (div), DOCX, XLSX, PPTX. Improvements in RTF, XLS, XML, HTML, ODF exports: support of different frame lines in a single Memo object. Improved font embedding in the PDF export: font subset is embedded instead of a whole font. This will significantly reduce a file size. GUI New icons in the designer and preview windows. Improved appearance of the Data tree: new icons for different field types. New/improved dialogs: highlight, frame, fill, hyperlink, databand editors.
