Release History

Q3 2008 Release Notes (v2.9.8.1105)

• Updated Project Upgrade Wizard
• New Report Rendering Engine, offering:
  • Excellent rendering performance
    The new rendering engine optimizes the usage of system resources (memory consumption and processor loads) during data processing and report generation to meet the high demands of our enterprise customers who need to process large data sets;
  • Optimal paging layout (used in page-aware formats, such as PDF)
    Q3 2008 comes with new paging logic by introducing a superior and more sophisticated algorithm for calculation and inspection of pages before they are rendered. The new algorithm renders reports optimally, taking full advantage of available page space, especially when there are large blocks of text/data which span over one page;
  • Foundation for Cross Tab data presentation
    The new rendering engine provides the foundation for data presentation in cross tabs, which will be officially available in 2009.
