Report Designer and Report Server highlights
Secure credential management with AWS Secrets Manager
Managing credentials securely is a core requirement for production deployments, especially in cloud and hybrid environments. With v12.2.6, the Report Designer now supports the AWS Secrets Manager, allowing sensitive credentials to be retrieved securely at runtime without being stored in configuration files. This helps teams improve security posture while reducing operational risk and manual secret handling.
Subcategories for cleaner report organization
Bold Reports v12.2.6 adds full subcategory support in both Report Server and Report Designer, enabling seamless hierarchical organization during report publishing. Teams can now browse and manage reports within nested categories, improving discoverability, reducing search time, and supporting cleaner governance in large environments.
.NET 10 support for modernized deployments
Bold Reports now supports .NET 10 in Report Designer, Report Viewer and Report Writer, helping organizations align their reporting stack with modern framework standards. This enhancement improves long-term maintainability, strengthens security, and gives teams flexibility to modernize their platforms without delaying reporting initiatives.
Report Viewer enhancements
Configurable cache expiration for improved performance control
You can now define cache expiration time spans in the Report Viewer, giving developers greater control over caching behavior. This helps keep reports responsive, optimizes resource usage, and ensures the right balance between performance and data freshness.
Bold Data Hub improvements
New destination support: StarRocks
StarRocks is now supported as a destination in Bold Data Hub, giving teams more flexibility in where and how they move data. This enables broader integration scenarios and supports evolving analytics architectures.
More reliable Python execution with venv support
To improve stability and dependency management, venv-based Python execution is now supported in the Bold Data Hub. This enables better isolation, reproducibility, and reliability for Python-driven data pipelines.
Automatic scheme deletion with data source removal
Schemas associated with a data source or pipeline are now automatically removed when the source is deleted. This prevents orphaned configurations and helps keep workspaces clean and well-organized.
Other improvements and minor fixes
Alongside these key enhancements, Bold Reports v12.2.6 also brings these improvements:
-
- Security: Fixed an issue where password fields were not updated correctly when creating a data source using a single-database connection string.
- Performance: Added custom timeout settings for WebAPI and ODATA connectors to better support long-running report executions.
- Bug fixes: Resolved date and time format persistence issues across the UI, schedules, and exports to ensure consistency.
These improvements make Bold Reports more robust and dependable in production environments. For a complete list of enhancements, fixes, and technical details, refer to the release notes.
