  • Installer
    • Improved detection of TeeChart version (Lite or Pro) for the currently selected IDE, to recompile the TeeBI chart-related packages using the appropiate version
  • BIGrid (VCL only)
    • New "Detail" menu item displays a secondary grid with the rows that belong to the selected main grid row
    • The "ShowItems" property has been changed from a Boolean to an enumerated type with "Automatic", "Yes" and "No" values
  • BIWeb server
    • Unit BI.Web.Common.pas is now "agnostic" and can be used with any HTTP server components. The default BIWeb server projects for VCL and Firemonkey use Indy's HTTP components. A new project at "Server\IIS\VCL" folder compiles an ISAPI dll plugin for Microsoft Windows IIS ("Internet Information Server")
  • BI Arrays
    • Improved speed when calling the array DataMap types "Find" method
    • New generic TArrayReverse method inverts all elements of any array
    • All TXXXArray types have now a new "Reverse" method to invert themselves
    • New SortedFind function in all TXXXArray types, uses a binary search algorithm to quickly find elements when the array is sorted
  • BIFilter
    • New TBIFilter class enables design-time filtering of queries and pivot-tables. BIFilter includes an Items collection, each item with specific properties to filter data elements (with different settings depending the data kind, numeric, date-time, text or boolean)
  • BIQuery
    • Huge refactoring of the TBIQuery class. Working with queries and pivot-tables at design-time without programming has been greatly improved
    • The old "Items" property has been now split into "Dimensions" and "Measures" to avoid redundancy at Object Inspector properties
    • New Filter and Sort properties with a collection of Items, each one with specific properties to customize filtering and sorting, and with custom editor dialogs available both at design and run-time
    • Most select queries and pivot-table summary examples can now be created at design-time, without programming and without typing any SQL text script or text expression
  • Data Providers
    • Fixed and improved the BDE (Borland Database Engine) data provider. Using the BI.Data.DB.BDE unit allows importing BDE TDatabase, TTable and TQuery components
    • New HeaderCount in TBIExcel component and fixed bug when importing Excel spreadsheets not detecting a header row automatically
  • Map-Reduce
    • New BI.MapReduce unit includes a generic class with methods to perform the "Map-Reduce" algorithm from TDataItem data. A new demo in "demos\VCL\MapReduce" folder shows the different capabilities
  • Miscellaneous
    • A new unit "BI.Data.Expressions" now contains a big portion of code that was previously in BI.Data unit. This reduces BI.Data code size and separates concepts.
    • Removed mandatory dependency on FireDAC units (for XE6 and up) when using the Data Manager editor dialogs
    • New BI.Data.Info unit now contains classes that were before in BI.Data unit (TDataInfo and the new TDataItemsInfo)
    • New methods in TDataItems class: Reverse and SortByName
    • Fixed bug in *.hpp C++ autogenerated headers (TDataItem overload "Item" indexed properties)
    • Improved parsing and generation of SQL scripts from / to BI Queries
    • New TDataCursorItem "Name" property to replace the selected item names in queries (the "as ..." SQL clause)
    • New TStores "Count" function, returns the number of registered TStore items
    • New TBIRegistry class variables "UseRegistry" (boolean, default True) and "IniFile" (string), enable using an *.ini file instead of the machine Registry. This is necessary for BIWeb server in ISAPI DLL mode
    • TSummary "DateOptions.Part" property has been renamed to simply "DatePart"
    • Improved performance at TSummaryTotals class, and fixed working with date-time special kinds of data (Month, Quarter and Weekday names)
    • FTP import class now uses the connection Timeout setting specified in its TDataDefinition
    • New Firemonkey editor dialog for TBIGrid control
    • BIComposer TGroupChart inner class now using TBIChart control instead of a normal TChart
    • New Component Icon images for IDE design-time component palette
