i-net Clear Reports runtime

Changed Behavior

  • The JAR file inetslf4j.jar was renamed into inetloggeradapter.jar. It also contains an adapter for Commons Logging

  • Date parsing order optimized to conform the modified date patterns in Java 9
  • Login Type “Internal Webserver” is also available if i-net Clear Reports is not running in an application server but if an login filter is used
  • Performance optimization for user expander formulas

Fixed Bugs

  • PDF export: Some bugs in PDF/A-1b export has been fixed
  • XLS / XLSX export:
    • Number property formulas were used although the Decimal number format was used instead of the user defined number format and the property formulas should be disabled. This could result for example in a wrong sign
    • Client timezone was ignored for date time values in the XLSX format
    • “Suppress if Duplicated” does not suppress duplicate fields in some cases
    • Percent format in XLSX format shows 0%
  • No cipher suite error with HTTPS connections occurred
  • Line height style was only used in first line of wrapped text, if Text Interpretation “HTML(advanced)” was used
  • Fix a bug with recursive table joins over multiple data sources (DS-A → DS-B → DS-A). The resulting error message was: “Report Error [1403] Error occurred while fetching data or while using data cache.”
  • Unhandled Exception “java.lang.InternalError” with message “couldn't create component peer” occurred with Java 8u152
  • Clip/alignment of italic right align text with a large italic angle was wrong
  • Word breaking of Thai language in advanced HTML content was wrong. The correct behaviour requires the report locale set to be 'Thai'
  • Error “Report Error [1401] Illegal argument for DATE sproc …” with SP parameter of type DATE occurred
  • Error “Could not create font with ID X” occurred if an OTF font was used and the property “Compress Viewer Fonts” in the Configuration Manager dialog “Font” was enabled
  • RTF export:
    • Font names in font table should be written using an East-Asian character set encoding instead of unicode
    • Content on some text boxes not displayed completely if the text box contains a lot of text
  • PDF export: Barcode font was too big
  • ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurred if facename und familyname arrays have a different lenght
  • “The design of the crosstab is too large” occurred with a crosstab in a subreport
  • Currency symbol was displayed although the field was suppressed
  • If “Underlay Following Section” was enabled for a section in a subreport then it could occur that the subreport was moved to the report report page
  • If the URL used in BytesFromFile function returns an 404 error then “unknown image format” was displayed in executed report. In this case image will be shown as blank
  • Exception: “org.bouncycastle.asn1.pkcs.PrivateKeyInfo cannot be cast to org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMKeyPair” occurred
  • Crosstab property “Suppress Row Labes” in “Group Options” does not work for more than one field in crosstab rows, if it is enabled for more than one field in crosstab rows
  • Fix problems when NofM and PageCount are used alone in a subreport and not in the main report and hard disk cache is enabled. This can lead to missing pages of the main report and the subreport will miss the output of NofM
  • Only the end of a “Can Grow” field was displayed at the 2nd appearance of the field if the field has been continued on a second page
  • If an embedded font have different font metrics as the system font with the same name and text interpretation “HTML(Advanced)” was used then the text layout could be broken

  • PDF document was not displayed correctly in report
  • Decimal number format in XLSX and ODS output format was 0 instead of the correct number
  • Fonts of an PDF document embedded in sub report were missing
  • Security issue “Cross-Site Scripting” occurred

Java Report Viewer

Fixed Bugs

HTML Report Viewer

New Features / Improvements

  • The HTML Report Viewer will now export reports with more than 100 pages to PDF instead of printing them using the browser function

Fixed Bugs

  • Exception com.inet.cache.internal.CacheLoadException occurred on Unix if there are 2 instances running
