6.20.5-beta Released
Quote from kilian.folger on 14. November 2024, 15:32A (preliminary) version of JSS 6.20.5 is available for download under the name
6.20.5-betaat https://jasper-schulungen.de/downloads/This is not necessarily the final release of 6.20.5. But as we are pausing development for now, we have decided to release what we have, which is a few bugfixes, while we focus on developing the JasperReports Server.
Release notes:
Bug Fixes:
- Percentage elements with a reset type other than "Report" caused an exception
- Table Designer caused a stack overflow and eventually froze the IDE
- Server connections could not be saved (plugin only, not standalone)
- Parameter sets could not be created (plugin only, not standalone)
- Preview images for individual reports in report books threw an exception
- Adding parameters to report book parts did not work (wizard did not open)
- Could not change the JRE version in the Java Preferences
Branding Changes:
- Renamed to Jasper Studio
- Changed IDE icon
- Changed splash screen
We also uploaded an initial version of 6.20.6, named
6.20.6-beta. It uses a JRE version 17.0.12+7 and has some updated dependencies, but the issues
- Server connections could not be saved (plugin only, not standalone)
- Parameter sets could not be created (plugin only, not standalone)
that were fixed in
6.20.5-betaare present again.

Though, without source code - the usability of the JSS version you released - is under question in my opinion

as we explained in another thread, we just paused the development of Jasper Studio. We recognized that the original Open Source Tool was not fully open source and identified some areas which have to be reimplemented due to copyright issues.
The Studio is still free for download at TIBCO/CSG and even old installers are available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jr-community-installers/files/Studio/ (just ask if you need different versions...)
Even the source code was republished here:
https://github.com/mann-ed/jaspersoft-studio-ce (without the non open source packages)
For now we will at first focus more on Jasper Server development, as here is no official open source version available anymore at all. Our moves here will be upgrading several application servers (JBoss, Tomcat, Wildfly) to direction Jakarta, as well as extending the whole installation and runtime to other databases like Oracle, SQL Server and others if needed (what was never part of the Community Edition ;))
If anyone has some time and interest to engage in reimplementing the closed source parts of Jasper Studio, feel invited to contact me directly: mail@thomaszimmer.net
THX and greetings,
Thomas

I meant that people won't be able to use your branch of JSS including the work you did in JSS 6.20.5 - but rather take the code from the above GIT repository and integrate their stuff there, without any of your contributions into its code.
