Version 10.0 – Release Notes

Seal Report 10.0 is a major release: the product is now free for everyone under the MIT License, integrates AI Agents, and moves to .NET 10 with a fully modernized web interface.

MIT License

Seal Report is now distributed under the plain MIT License — the dual-licensing model is discontinued and the product is free for everyone, including commercial use. Third-party components keep their own licenses (see THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md, in particular QuestPDF if your own code calls its APIs directly). Professional support subscriptions remain available at Seal Report Services.

AI Agents

• Chat with role-based AI Agents in the Web Report Server to design and refine reports, analyze data, manage data sources, schedule executions or administer the server. The AI integration is built on AI Providers, Tools, Skills and Agents, all configurable in the Server Manager.
• Bring your own AI Provider: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic or Ollama (including local models). No cloud dependency is imposed.
• AI Tasks: embed AI processing directly in your reports, including the new task template 'AI Summary' to generate summaries for the report and its models.
• Live progress and auditing: agent tool activity is displayed live in the chat, and every AI exchange is audited with token usage and cost tracking (new AI section in the System Dashboard and Audit reports).

Platform and Web Interface

• .NET 10: the product now targets .NET 10 (Windows Desktop Runtime 10, ASP.NET Core Runtime 10 for the Web Report Server, Visual Studio 2026 for development).
• Bootstrap 5: the Web Report Server and report rendering are migrated from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 5, with Font Awesome 6 icons and a new date/time picker.
• Localization: major languages are now supported in the Web Report Server.
• RazorEngineCore: the abandoned Antaris RazorEngine fork is replaced by the maintained RazorEngineCore, with hardened Razor script security and remediation of dependency CVEs.
• Libraries update: jQuery 3.7.0, DataTables 2.3.7, ChartJS 4.5.0, Plotly 3.1.1, ScottPlot 5.1.58, QuestPDF 2026.2.4.
• System.Data.SqlClient is replaced by Microsoft.Data.SqlClient for MS SQL Server connections.

Charts

• ECharts: Apache ECharts is a new chart engine, alongside ChartJS, Plotly and ScottPlot.
• Gauges have migrated to ECharts gauges.
• The NVD3 engine is not supported anymore (see Upgrade Notes).

New Features

• SharePoint Output Device: publish report results directly to SharePoint document libraries via Microsoft Graph (client secret or certificate authentication).
• Recycle Bin: reports deleted in the Web Report Server are moved to a Recycle Bin and can be restored.
• Report Shortcuts: new shortcut files (.srln) to publish a report or file in several folders of the Web Report Server.
• Report Result options: modify the report layout directly after the execution.
• Report Designer: labels for total and sub-total cells can be modified.
• Report Guide: new report property to display a guide to the end-user.
• Descriptions: new Description properties for Tables, Columns, Enums and Joins in the Data Source (also used by the AI Agents to understand your semantic layer).
• Security rework: report download and file upload are now separate, per-folder rights.
• Fix: dependant enumerated list reload after report execution (thanks to @rubenalbaladejo).

Upgrade Notes

• .NET 10 runtimes are required (Desktop Runtime 10 for the Report Designer and Scheduler, ASP.NET Core 10 Hosting Bundle for the Web Report Server).
• NVD3 charts are not supported anymore: reports using NVD3 must be modified to use another chart engine (e.g. ECharts or ChartJS).
• Custom report views or templates written for Bootstrap 3 should be reviewed and compared against the new templates after the upgrade.
