    It would be great for you to include the full version number information in these announcement blog posts. For example, 12.1.12924.0. That would save time in comparing to what we currently have. Thanks.

    Where can I find details to the issues listed above? I’m particularly interested in issue 258123. How significant is the improvement in the memory consumption?

    Hello Josef!

    Where can I find details to the issues listed above?

    These case numbers are for internal reference. You can ask us for any detail of the issue.

    How significant is the improvement in the memory consumption?

    One of our test reports with a lot of pages took 7-8Gb of RAM during the export to PDF format. now, after improvements in PDF export filter, it takes only 500-600Mb.

    Hope it clarifies.

    Thanks,

    Is it still possible to download this? The link to the downloads page only shows ActiveReports 13 at this time. The “Older Versions” page (https://www.grapecity.com/en/controls/activereports-developer/download-version-history) does not list ActiveReports 12 SP2.
