New ActiveReports Features:
Improved CSV Data Provider
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to link to CSV data via a URL? This way, you don't have to get a fresh copy of it every time your data changes. The updated data will be brought into your report as soon as the report renders. To make this happen, we've added the ability to load CSV data from a URL in Page and RDL reports. This makes using dynamic CSV data, or data stored in a central location, much easier.
JSViewer Enhancements
When running a project, JSViewer creates certain temporary folders for report rendering. Once the application page is closed, the temporary files are deleted.
Another feature added to JSViewer, to help with efficient layout, is getting page info for the page in which the JSViewer is hosted.
The info is presented the following format:
`<!--@@@ar.page.metadata@@@ { width:6480, height:2160, delayedContent: False }-->`
SVG Images and PDF Export
We've implemented several small enhancements around high resolution SVG images to deliver a big difference. These enhancements include improved memory consumption when rendering reports with high res images and reducing PDF output size by almost 50%.
Improved CSV Export
We received some requests to enhance our CSV Rendering Extension to export to CSV without headers. To fulfill that request we added a "NoHeader" boolean property to the rendering extension that can be configured in the UI or set in code as follows:
`if (exportType == "Csv") settings["NoHeader"]="true";`
