- BZ#982577
Previously a wrong locale used in database creation could cause issues in runtime. Now when the database is created, the correct locale is always used.
- BZ#737325
Users can now change fields to column or group within a table in the ad hoc editor, which allows users to change the ad hoc report design more easily.
- BZ#795703
When an Ad Hoc report is modified, mails are not stopped from being sent, and no errors are sent via email. The existing scheduled job just sends the report with the latest modifications, and after the report is deleted the scheduled job stops emails from being sent.
- BZ#725681
In an ad hoc report, the domain incorrectly generated a query with left outer join when a right outer join was defined in the domain. The update fixes the way the query is generated, so now the result set is displayed correctly.
- BZ#689203
Context sensitive help is now available for reports. Tooltips have been added to input controls.
- BZ#788094
Ad hoc reports filters can now be reordered, making it easier for users to edit ad hoc reports filters.
- BZ#730702
When exporting to .odt format many report elements were missing. These missing elements are now added to the .odt export, so the exported report is more complete.
- BZ#788035
A report's description that had line breaks and carriage returns caused incorrect parsing by JasperReports Server in ad-hoc designer, and was locked in a read-only state. This issue was fixed in ad hoc designer, as a result reports are no longer locked.
- BZ#785541
Previously large data sets results in input controls caused an "Unresponsive script" error and reduced performance. The input controls have been redesigned to allow larger data sets, so these errors do not happen now.
- BZ#739362
During the ad hoc design phase, the column's summary overrode the group's headline. The user interface design has been improved, and this design phase now displays correctly.
- BZ#732392
Several unnecessary filters have been removed, so the input controls display has fewer rows, which streamlines the report running process.
- BZ#729948
It is now possible to add a group within a group in the Ad Hoc designer, making ad hoc reporting more flexible and powerful.
- BZ#922854
The Jasper reports server could not be installed when using a database password that contained quotes. A password containing quotes is now supported, and installation succeeds.
- BZ#722819
Previously a report in .ods format contained text which was cut off to fit the column size. This resulted in missing or incomprehensible data. There is now an option to export full text in xls and ods formats.
- BZ#718952
After saving a newly created Ad Hoc report, the report now displays the name by which it was saved.
- BZ#691452
When trying to edit filters or pressing Apply or OK on a report that had been opened for long time, the report did not load as the connection had timed out. Now when timeout occurs, the user is automatically logged out of the reports portal.
- BZ#689236
It is now possible to save filters, and select from a listbox. In addition to the Repository view, it is possible to expand and view all the filters that were saved, and launch them. This makes it easier for users to quickly run reports.
- BZ#749489
In previous releases, after a JasperReports Server upgrade the ad hoc creation date would change to the installation date. Now, the ad hoc creation date is now saved, so ad hoc reports can be sorted according to creation date.
- BZ#879900
When exporting a report to .ods format, the report's images went missing. Now, images can be exported to .ods as well.
- BZ#1033090
Previously, when accessing reports from the administration portal, the browser opened a new tab with the following message: "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier." This has been fixed by removing the Javascript code that checks authentication and resubmits the request, so this confirmation message no longer appears.
- BZ#1010680
JasperReports Server Pro has been rebased to version 5.5. A list of features and fixed issues from version 4.7.1 is available in /usr/share/jasperreports-server-pro/releaseNotes.txt
- BZ#728782
Large reports repository folders could cause slow performance and an "Unresponsive script" message to appear. The user interface has been redesigned to work in this case, and is now much more responsive on a large scale.
