Release History

Progress® Telerik® Reporting R3 2023 (17.2.23.1010)

October 11, 2023

GDI-independent graphics engine

NEW

• In R3 2023 we introduce a new graphics engine implementation, based on SkiaSharp library. This feat allows truly cross-platform deployment of Telerik Reporting applications, targeting .NET 6 and later framework versions. The users can set the preferred graphics engine in application configuration file, thus using SkiaSharp engine in both Linux and Windows environments. This release brings SkiaSharp-based rendering to web report viewers and PDF export format, and the rest are soon to follow.

Native Angular report viewer

NEW

• The Native Angular Report Viewer seamlessly integrates into Angular applications, providing a user-friendly interface for embedding, viewing and interacting with reports. The viewer is built entirely with controls from Kendo UI for Angular toolset, providing consistent look and feel across various devices. The native Angular viewer requires a valid license for Kendo UI for Angular or Telerik DevCraft bundle.

Enhance the customization capabilities of Web Report Designer

NEW

• Web Report Designer now provides API for hiding menu items, report components, data sources, and Assets Manager elements. The developers that integrate Web Report Designer in their applications have a detailed list of permissions that deny the usage of specific functionalities. Additionally, the Web Report Designer widget now exposes events to subscribe to, allowing for custom implementation of error and notification handling.

Gauge item wizards in Web Report Designer

NEW

• Now the Gauge items can be configured effortlessly using the new Wizard panes. The user-friendly interface streamlines the design and setup process, allowing the users to create complex Radial or Linear gauges in a few mouse clicks.

Added align support to the image in a PictureBox item

NEW

• The addition of align support to the image within a PictureBox Item boosts the design and layout flexibility. This feature allows report authors to precisely control the alignment of images like logos within the PictureBox, ensuring that the visual presentation meets specific report design requirements.
