Cache of the web designer
Using the AppCacheDirectory properties of StiWebDesigner component, it is possible to create a directory in what the component will automatically create a cache copy of the Flash core of this component. Using the cache, when reloading, allow you to speed up the loading of these components on the client side.

Visual web designer control
In previous versions of the web report designer, this component was presented as a non-visual ASP.NET component. However, many users would like to use this component as a visual control, as well as they use the WebViewer.Fx component. The new version can easily convert a non-visual component into a visual StiWebDesigner. It is enough to set the Visible property of this component to true.

New functions
New features were added to the data dictionary. The first is the MaxStr function. The function returns a string that is at the end of the sorted list of values. The next function is MinStr. It returns a string that is placed in the beginning of the sorted list of values. The SumDistinct function summarizes only the unique values from a list. And the last function is ToCurrencyWordsThai. This function displays the amount of words in Thai language.

New features when printing bar-codes
Code128c and Ean128c barcodes now support the FNC1 command. It is used to connect multiple values in a single barcode. We also added a new ShowQuietZones property for the barcode component. The property is used for synchronization of barcode scanners.
