User-Invoked Initial Report Preview in Report Server
Developers can enhance the end-user experience and optimize server resource utilization by preventing heavy reports from loading automatically without user confirmation. By implementing a confirmation step before initiating the load process, users are given control over whether they wish to proceed with viewing large, resource-intensive reports. This approach reduces unnecessary server load, improves application performance and prevents users from being overwhelmed by unexpected delays or performance issues.
Right-to-Left Text Support in RS.NET(Preview) on Linux
With RTL text rendering support on Linux, reports may now contain right-to-left languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, seamlessly within reports. This enhancement supports accurate text direction and proper ligature rendering, greatly improving readability and user experience for audiences who read in RTL languages. By incorporating RTL support, Report Server for .NET becomes more accessible and user-friendly for a global audience.
No Error Display for Missing Images in Report Server
Extending the existing NoDataMessage and NoDataStyle properties to the PictureBox item will provide report designers with greater control over handling missing images in reports. Currently available for other items, these properties allow customization or suppression of error messages when data is unavailable. By applying them to the PictureBox, report authors can be certain that missing images will not disrupt the layout or design of the report.
Improved Encryption Algorithms for Sensitive Assets Storage
All sensitive data entries in the Report Server assets may now be encrypted following a new process, to better protect confidential information protection. This security enhancement complies with industry standards and is another result of our commitment to deliver a more secure and reliable product.
