JasperReports Library Change Log
=============================================
JasperReports 7.0.2 (2025-0x-xx)
---------------------------------------------
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 7.0.1 (2024-09-30)
---------------------------------------------
- added automatic module names to manifest files and fixed split packages issues in preparation for
Java 9 modules compliance;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 7.0.0 (2024-06-17)
---------------------------------------------
- removal of the Ant build system and replacing it with a Maven build system;
- deprecated code removed;
- breaking backward compatibility of serialized/compiled *.jasper report template files,
mostly because of historical deprecated serialization code removal/cleanup mentioned above
(source *.jrxml report templates need to be recompiled to *.jasper using the new version of
the library);
- breaking backward compatibility of source *.jrxml report template files and *.jrtx style
template files by replacing the Apache Commons Digester based parsers with Jackson XML object
serialization. *.jrxml and *.jrtx files created with version 6 or older can no longer be loaded
with version 7 or newer of the library alone. The conversion from the old file formats to the new
file formats and back can be made using Jaspersoft Studio 7 and later versions of it;
- extracting various optional extension JAR artifacts from the the core library JAR artifact
to allow the Jakarta Migration of certain of these optional features while also introducing
better third party Maven dependency management of these artifacts;
- some Java package names have changed as a consequence of separating functionality into optional JAR artifacts;
- upgraded JFreeChart to version 1.5.4 which no longer has support for 3D charts. Reports having
Pie 3D, Bar 3D and Stacked Bar 3D charts would continue to work, but will be rendered as 2D,
all their 3D effects being ignored;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.21.3 (2024-04-18)
---------------------------------------------
- allow background section elements to be exported as page header content in the DOCX exporter
so that watermark type effects could be achieved;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.21.2 (2024-02-12)
---------------------------------------------
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.21.0 (2023-12-01)
---------------------------------------------
- added support for PDF/A-2a, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-2u, PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-3b, PDF/A-3u;
- added support for WEBP images;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.20.6 (2023-09-12)
---------------------------------------------
- optional style expression added to report elements in addition to their existing static style
reference property to allow for more flexible and dynamic styling scenarios;
- new IS_EVEN_ROW and IS_EVEN_COLUMN boolean built-in variables available in crosstabs to help
with alternate row/column styling of crosstab cells;
- new custom configuration property net.sf.jasperreports.export.pptx.frame.as.table added to
control the rendering of table components as true PowerPoint table structures in PPTX exports;
- added new data source implementation based on the Fastexcel Reader library to allow loading of
larger XLSX files without using too much heap memory (compared to existing POI-based implementation);
- new custom property net.sf.jasperreports.cut.text.max.height available for text field elements
to limit the maximum height to which they can stretch to accommodate their larger text content
when textAdjust attribute is set to CutText value;
- improved caching for clipped images and SVG drawings in the PDF exporter to help create smaller
size PDF files;
- new number rounding functions available in report expressions;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.20.5 (2023-05-10)
---------------------------------------------
- fix historical text measuring truncation by rounding up the AWT measured text height to the upper
integer value instead of truncating it to the lower integer value and thus causing the text elements
having dynamic height to be 1 pixel taller to avoid text being cut in PDF exports;
for minimum disruption in upgrades, the former text measuring behavior is still available through the
net.sf.jasperreports.legacy.text.measuring boolean configuration property that would need to be set to true;
- performance improvements for the HTML and RTF text markup processors by replacing the JEditorPane based
implementations with faster EditorKit implementations and fixing some multi-threading issues;
- support for CMYK color conversion for text and shapes in PDF export using ICC profiles
(excluding image color conversion);
- support for unpatched versions of the OpenPDF library although this is not recommended for as long as
the following OpenPDF bug remains open: https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/issues/676
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.20.4 (2023-05-01)
---------------------------------------------
- make the OpenPDF dependency mandatory again in the pom.xml;
JasperReports 6.20.3 (2023-04-20)
---------------------------------------------
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.20.2 (2023-04-19)
---------------------------------------------
- added support for multiple marker series in the Google map component, with ability to show/hide
each series through an interactive legend and ability to bring the map to its initial visual state
using a custom reset button;
- introducing expression backed custom properties at report part level to allow attaching metadata to
parts in multi-part documents, to be leveraged during report output post-processing by the parent application;
- allowing the creation of multi-part documents from single part (section based) report templates
using a special custom property at report element level that triggers the creation of a separate part
for the current page when the property is met;
- various dependencies upgrades including: Spring 5.3.26 and TestNG 7.7.0;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.20.1 (2023-03-14)
---------------------------------------------
- XLSX metadata exporter added to produce pure data output in the modern Excel file format
(similar to pre-existing XLS and CSV metadata exporters);
- optimizations and improvements made in the XLSX exporter to allow skipping time consuming
text measuring routines during the report filling process and produce the output document
faster when the Excel format is the main (if not the only) export target;
- support for file encryption in the XLS, XLSX, DOCX and PPTX exporters;
- marker clustering and marker spidering features added to the Google Map component;
- allow specifying the split type in table component rows;
- replaced iText 2.1.7 with OpenPDF 1.3.30 for PDF export;
- various dependencies upgrades including: Apache Lucene 8.11.2, Bouncy Castle 1.71,
Jaxen 1.2.0, Apache POI 5.2.2, Apache Batik 1.16, Jackson 2.14.1 and Groovy 4.0.8;
- the Apache Xalan dependency was taken out from the core library and moved into an optional
and deprecated extension module;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.20.0 (2022-07-14)
---------------------------------------------
- enhancing scriptlet configuration using scriptlet level expression based custom properties;
- added support for conditional styles in external style template files (*.jrtx);
- various dependencies upgrades including: Spring 5.3.20, Jackson 2.13.3,
Chrome DevTools Java Client 4.0.0 and Apache Commons Codec 1.15;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.19.1 (2022-03-29)
---------------------------------------------
- replaced Joda-Time with Java 8 Date/Time API in the functions extension;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.19.0 (2022-02-22)
---------------------------------------------
- improved bulleted and numbered list support in styled text and HTML markup text fields including
better indentation and support for nested lists;
- support for accessible HTML output using semantic tags for marking up headings (h1 to h6),
bulleted and numbered lists, alternate text for images and nested table tags for semantic tables;
- support for Groovy closures in report expressions;
- honour the EXIF orientation information found in photos taken with mobile digital cameras and
thus match the way browsers make use of this information to auto-rotate photos in HTML;
- deprecated Castor XML persistence layer used for data adapter files and XML chart theme files by moving
it to a separate optional extension artifact (jasperreports-castor) while replacing it in the core library

---------------------------------------------
- new JSONQL query language with advanced syntax for queries and for field mapping
expressions to allow more complex field mapping scenarios including the ability to map
fields to the parent node values; this new query language and its respective query executer,
which offers XPath-like capabilities, deprecate the existing JSON query language and
the former query executer;
- support for request headers was added to HTTP data adapters as well as improved
parameter mapping using custom parameter properties to markup dataset parameters which
contribute to the HTTP request; the new sample under /demo/samples/httpdataadapters shows
some of these improvements;
- new evaluationTime attribute added to dataset parameter definition to control the exact
moment when the default value expression of the parameter is evaluated; the default evaluation
time for parameters which do not specify a value for the attribute is controlled using the
net.sf.jasperreports.parameter.evaluation.time configuration property;
- support for property expressions added for dataset fields to allow more flexibility in
data source and query executer field mapping;

in JR font extensions, to allow grouping font families in super-sets that can cover
several languages/scripts; when using a font set, the font family resolution occurs
during text processing and is performed on a per character basis, allowing mixing of words
in different languages/scripts in the same text element;
- support for calling PL/SQL stored procedures (Oracle), which was available
as a separate query executer extension, is now part of the JR core library;
- minor bug fixes and improvements;

marking lists and automatic insertion of table markers for table component output;
- support for complex scripts (such as Indic scripts) in PDF by means of AWT text layout;
- added support for duration based filter and duration based conditional formatting of
numeric columns in table components; special format pattern [h]:mm:ss causes numeric values
to be treated as duration;

- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 6.1.1 (2015-09-07)
---------------------------------------------
- added support for returning values from bands, which gives better control over
variable incrementation in cases where calculations are coupled with content rendering,
such as page totals;
- allow frame elements to be placed beyond frame bottom edge; this would cause frames
to grow in height in order to display all their content and reduces the need for frames to
shrink in case some of their content displays conditionally and space needs to be collapsed;
- new configuration property "net.sf.jasperreports.evaluator.ignore.npe" added to control
the expressions evaluation with respect to raising NullPointerException;
- added support for locale and timezone in CSV and XLS data adapters;

of parts instead of bands; parts are external report templates, similar to subreports,
and allow creation of documents with variable page size and/or orientation; parts can be
displayed on separate tabs by report viewers and simplify creation of "table of contents"
structures in which parts that appear early in the document are actually filled/rendered
later during the report filling process (see evaluationTime attribute of part);
- new JSON metadata exporter added, similar to the XLS and CSV metadata exporters in which
the values that need to be exported have to be marked-up using configuration properties at
text element level;
- upgrade to iText version 5.5.0 in the PDF exporter;

are now deprecated and replaced by ExporterInput, ExporterOutput and ExporterConfiguration interfaces
and their subinterfaces and convenience implementations;
- new Apache POI based metadata XLS exporter (JRXlsMetadataExporter class), which replaces
the now deprecated JExcelApi based metadata exporter (JExcelApiExporter class);
- all JExcelApi based XLS exporters (JExcelApiExporter and JExcelApiMetadataExporter) are
now deprecated and should no longer be used as they will no longer be maintained and will be
completely removed from the library sometime in the future; The JRXlsExporter, JRXlsMetadataExporter
(both Apache POI based) and JRXlsxExporter implementations should be used instead;
- new Apache POI based XLS report data source (XlsDataSource class), which replaces the now
deprecated JExcelApi based data source (JRXlsDataSource class);

and net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.permissions.denied) to control PDF file permissions from
within the report template or globally, from JasperReports configuration context;
- support for table-of-contents metadata build-up during report filling process, to be leveraged
in document viewers that have the ability to display bookmark based table-of-contents that are not
part of the document content itself.

- minor bug fixes and improvements;
JasperReports 5.5.0 (2013-10-24)
---------------------------------------------
- improved JasperReports Web Framework containing embeddable report viewer APIs.
It introduces a separation between the report's HTML output and its interactivity-related
metadata (new JSON exporter) and support for dynamically loaded Javascript modules through RequireJS.
The new APIs simplify interactive report viewer adoption and its customization while giving
new opportunities for creation of interactive custom components;
