Release History

Progress® Telerik® Reporting 2024 Q4 (18.3.24.1112)

November 13, 2024

Support .NET 9 Official

NEW

• Telerik Reporting adds support for .NET 9 for Reporting engine, REST Services, and Standalone Report Designer for .NET.

Enhanced tooling for managing extensibility assemblies in Standalone Report Designers

NEW

• Both Standalone Report Designers provide UI to manage the extensibility assemblies used for data-binding and user functions. Now custom assemblies can be loaded in the designer without manually modifying the configuration files and restarting the application.

Simplified integration of Report Viewer REST service into ASP.NET Core applications

NEW

• The configuration of Report Viewer REST Service into ASP.NET Core applications now takes just two lines of code. See the examples in our demo applications for .NET 6, .NET 8, and .NET 9.

User-invoked initial report preview

NEW

• The report definition now has a new AutoRun property, allowing to prevent the loading of long-running reports until the report parameters are configured. This functionality is accessible in all HTML5-based report viewers, desktop report viewers, and Preview panels in Standalone Report Designer applications.

What's Improved

NEW

• PictureBox item now allows showing stylized explanatory text when the Image property cannot be initialized.
• Standalone Report Designer tabs/reports now can be closed using the mouse middle click.
• Standalone Report Designer for .NET now renders RTL text correctly in preview using Skia rendering engine.
• Improved support for Right-To-Left text rendering in PDF format using Skia rendering engine.

What's Changed

CHANGED

• The ASP.NET WebForms Report Viewer is no longer distributed with Telerik Reporting. We advise using its successor - the HTML5 ASP.NET WebForms Report Viewer.
• Native Blazor Viewer reference to Telerik UI for Blazor is updated to 6.2.0.
• .NET 7 is no longer supported. All .NET 7-related assets are no longer distributed. We advise using the .NET 8 and .NET 9 assets instead.
