[OmegaBundle 2021] What's New

Valentina Reports ADK for Xojo is your ultimate reporting system. Generate reports from MS SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Valentina DB sources.

Deploy your Xojo applications on Windows, MacOS and Linux - all three platforms are supported and included in Omegabundle for Xojo 2021. The Linux version is even supported for Raspberry PI deployment (Debian, Linux, ARM 7).

Here are some of the improvements since last year:

  • Improved formatting for line ends in reports (what happens when X isn’t there?)
  • Improved positioning of Report Objects, including fixed and relative positions
  • Improved Reporting Examples, esp for display on iOS
  • Support for MacOS on ARM
  • Meaningful Printer Errors. Now you can catch errors coming back from the printer.
  • Recursive Reports.Displaying hierarchical data is now possible
  • Expanded Zoom to x4 in Reports Editor (Valentina Studio Pro)
  • Reports and subreports now use the same JS context (global variables, etc)
  • SVG picture can now can be stored in a textual field. You can now specify such a field as a data source for the picture control
  • Alpha and Opacity properties are now supported for text and borders
  • New HTML Rendering Engine. Most HTML/CSS features are supported including text formatting, tables, floating elements, absolute positioning, anchors, embedded styles, CSS classes, most CSS selectors. Embedded and external CSS files supported.
  • HTML Rendering Vectorized. Printing a report to PDF, Postscript, or directly to a printer, rendered HTML is vectorized. TEXT is scalable and selectable in generated files and can be printed with the maximum printer resolution.
  • Support for SVG images in the Picture controls. When printing to vector formats (PDF, Postscript, SVG) SVG images are embedded in the document in vector form perfect for zooming and printing. SVG images can be stored in the report, database, external file, or even auto-generated

The same report projects can be viewed and “played back” within the free Valentina Studio and can include parameters to allow end users to customize the output. And they can be uploaded to Valentina Server and served across your network.
