Report Server

• Support for Windows Server 2025: Ensuring compatibility with the latest Windows Server version.
• Web Designer: An object can now be copied to a layer, automatically creating a duplicate object that is assigned to the selected layer.

Improvements:

Designer

• For very small text objects (commonly used for labels), placement was challenging because the paint optimization for selected objects could slightly shift the texts. This optimization is now disabled for fonts sized less than 8 pt (and if the text contains only one line). 
• The formula function “IBAN$” now only returns an empty string when processing an invalid IBAN without causing a formula error to not prevent any further formula evaluation. 
• Prevent unnecessary interpolation loop in between values of a line diagram if determined upfront that no values would be inserted. 

Print

• Improved LL_OPTION_ENHANCED_SKIPRETURNATENDOFRTF: Setting the value to “2” now checks for the special case of an enumeration at the end of the RTF stream.
• “Date” report parameters have been reduced to a date, with the time value truncated. The new option, LL_OPTION_ALLOW_TIME_IN_REPORT_PARAMETER (index 427, default: FALSE), now allows the retention of the time value.

.NET

• Made RepositoryItemDescriptor IDisposable to enable more deterministic resource disposal. The wrapped COM object is now released immediately once Dispose() is called. Also, refactored all consumers of this object to ensure proper disposal.

Web Components

• Web Report Designer: Enhanced the visibility of the active language in the language selector dropdown on the top menu bar. 
• Web Report Designer: Enhanced spacing in the gauge edit mode for background, glass, and pointer options on devices with small screens.
