What are the new features?

  • New WPF Viewer
  • New XLSX export to take advantage of the big grid for data-only Excel exports
  • Improved report viewing experience provides more interactivity to end users of your reports.
  • New read-only RPT file called RPTR that allows you to control who can see the internals of your report design.  You create a RPTR file by exporting it from an RPT.  After that, RPTR files can only be opened by the report viewers.  oUR Report designer tools will refuse to open RPTR files – protecting your internal business logic in the report.
