Improvements

Designer

• Print Menu Configuration: New option LL_OPTION_DISABLEPRINT_MENU allows selective disabling of commands in the print menu. Setting -1 disables all entries; default is 0.
• Tree View Filtering: New flag LL_TREEVIEWFILTER_IN_TABLESTRUCTWIN for the option LL_OPTION_TREEVIEWFILTER_VISIBILITYFLAGS allows suppressing the search feature during table selection.
• Nested Tables in Footer Lines: Support for nested tables in footer lines can be re-enabled (not recommended) via LL_OPTION_ENABLE_NESTEDTABLE_IN_FOOTERLINES.
• Image Path Handling: Improved detection of relative paths for resources like images when switching between fixed and relative path modes.

Print

• Export Abort Behavior: Message processing during data-bound exports now enables the process to be aborted before LlPrint() finishes.
• DYMO Compatibility: Switched to using DMPAPER_LAST+1 as the starting index for user-defined paper formats to avoid conflicts with DYMO printer ranges.
• Paper Index Restriction: New option LL_OPTION_RESTRICT_FIX_PAPERINDICES_TO_EXPLICITLY_DEFINED_PAPERS restricts index matching to DMPAPER_LAST (118) instead of DMPAPER_USER-1 (255), improving compatibility with some label printers.

Web Components

• Web Report Viewer: Improved validation messages for report parameters now include the parameter name.
• Web Report Designer: Enhanced handling of variable-to-formula conversion for newly added variables.

Report Server

• OData Parameters: A syntax assistant has been added to help generate dynamic parameters (e.g., Company={{Company=A|choices=A,B}}).
• Dashboard UX: The details view for recently used report templates now matches the detail view in the full report template list.
• Connection Cloning: A hint is now shown when cloning connection strings.
• Error Display: Improved error handling and display in both the Web Report Viewer and Web Report Designer.
• Security: Updated System.Text.Json and Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory to address known vulnerabilities.

.NET

• Error Diagnostics: More informative exceptions when:
  • A table name exists in multiple schemas.
  • The same localized table name is defined more than once.

Tools

• Debwin: Now splits log messages containing line breaks into multiple entries – applies to all sources, not just List & Label.
