This section describes new features introduced in the Jaspersoft BI Suite Version 10.1 release.

To view the Release Notes of version 10.0.0, see JasperReports® Server Release Notes v10.0.0.

To view the new features added to the various products of Jaspersoft BI Suite, refer to the following list:

JasperReports® Server 10.1.0

For JasperReports® Server 10.1.0, the following improvements have been added:

  • Centralized Scheduler Dashboard

    Enhance operational oversight with the new Scheduler Dashboard. This centralized Admin Console provides real-time visibility into your entire scheduled report landscape.

    • Comprehensive Monitoring: Track job states in real-time, from queued to completed.

    • Enhanced Admin Controls: Restart individual job executions or view detailed historical data for finished triggers using new dedicated action buttons.

    • Actionable Insights: Administrators gain full access to execution history, while standard users can monitor success and failure counts at a glance.

  • Password History Validation

    Strengthen your enterprise security and simplify compliance with our new Password History Validation. This feature prevents users from recycling their last n passwords during the reset process, defending against unauthorized access and aligning your environment with modern security best practices.

    This feature is turned off by default. To implement password recycling restrictions, you must explicitly enable the corresponding configuration property.

    For more information, see JasperReports® Server Security Guide.

  • Modernized Password Storage

    Upgrade your security posture with our state-of-the-art password storage system. We have introduced industry-leading, one-way hashing algorithms that provide superior protection against unauthorized access. This update ensures a more robust defense while maintaining seamless backward compatibility for all existing users.

    For more information, see JasperReports® Server Security Guide.

  • Migration to Jackson

    We have successfully migrated JasperReports® Server’s data binding and serialization framework from legacy Castor to the industry-leading Jackson library. This architectural upgrade delivers faster response times and significantly improved system stability. While this represents a major technical leap forward, the transition is entirely seamless. Users will enjoy a faster, more reliable experience with no manual configuration required.

    Note

    Resources exported from version 10.1.0 cannot be imported into older versions of the application.

    For more information, see JasperReports® Server Upgrade Guide.

  • Retired Apache Tiles

    We have streamlined the JasperReports® Server core by migrating from legacy Apache Tiles to standard JSP Tag Files. By eliminating complex external dependencies and adopting a sleek, native framework (now located in WEB-INF/tags/templates/), we have built a reliable foundation.

    This is an internal architectural upgrade. The user interface and public APIs remain unchanged. If you use custom JSP overlays, update your references from tiles:insertTemplate to the new <tmpl:*> tag files to align with this modernization.

    For more information, see JasperReports® Server Upgrade Guide.

Jaspersoft® Studio 10.1.0

For Jaspersoft® Studio 10.1.0, the following improvements have been added:

  • Intuitive report design

    The JasperReports Library PDF exporter now supports Section 508, PDF/UA, and WCAG standards by embedding semantic tags for screen reader navigation. Our goal is to ensure reports pass validation in tools like PAC, VeraPDF, and Adobe Professional.

    True accessibility is a partnership between the software and the report designer. While the exporter provides the technical tagging, report designers must still prioritize accessible layouts, such as high color contrast and simple table structures, to ensure true readability.

    Note

    Starting release 10.1.0, accessibility features have been removed from all future Community Edition releases. When upgrading to or embedding library version 10.1.0, reports will throw a Tag PDF not supported exception on the first run due to the removal of accessibility features from the Community Edition.

    For more information, see JasperReports Library PDF Accessibility Feature.

  • Single Sign On (Browser) option

    Jaspersoft® Studio now features enhanced SSO support via an embedded browser widget, simplifying connections to JasperReports® Server instances secured by external identity providers (such as Okta).

    You select the new Single Sign-On (Browser) option in the Server Profile Wizard to log in via an in-app browser window. Upon successful authentication, you can capture the active JSESSIONID session cookie to securely unlock repository browsing, report publishing, and resource management without storing corporate credentials.

  • Improved Eclipse IO Console appender

    This release introduces key improvements to our logging capabilities. We have enhanced the Eclipse IO Console appender and added two new JVM properties:

    • jss.logging.tmpdir, can be configured in your .ini file for use in the log4J2.xml file appender.

    • jss.logging.redirectSystemStreams (defaults to false), allows you to intercept and redirect System.out and System.err streams when enabled.

JasperReports® Web Studio 10.1.0

For JasperReports® Web Studio 10.1.0, the following improvements have been added:

  • Drag-and-drop query building

    Accelerate query design by dragging nodes directly from the Metadata panel into the query editor. This streamlined workflow eliminates manual coding errors and simplifies the construction of complex queries.

  • Composite elements

    Accelerate report creation with new Composite elements. Effortlessly drag and drop preconfigured components, such as dynamic timestamps and automatic page numbering, into your canvas to streamline complex workflows and save development time.

  • Contextual "maximize" action

    Maximize your design workspace with the new "Maximize Band" action. Simply select any report band and click the button to instantly expand it to fill the available space, streamlining your layout workflow and eliminating manual resizing.

  • Manual parameter reordering

    Manage the resolution sequence of your datasets precisely by using a simple drag-and-drop interface. By grabbing the new handle icon to the left of any parameter name, you can reorder your list to ensure that dependent variables resolve in the correct sequence for your query, eliminating manual configuration errors and streamlining dataset logic.

  • Enhanced pattern editor

    Configuring numeric and date-time formats is now more intuitive with the enhanced Pattern Editor. Clicking the ellipsis (...) button opens a new dialog featuring a comprehensive library of common presets. Simply select a predefined pattern and use the built-in controls to fine-tune the formatting to your specific requirements, ensuring precision with minimal effort.

  • Automated aggregate calculations

    Dragging fields into summary or group bands now triggers the "Smart Calculation" dialog, automating the setup of aggregate data. Simply choose your desired calculation, such as sum, average, or count, and the system instantly generates the necessary variables and expressions. For numeric fields, additional advanced aggregation options are available to further accelerate your report design.

  • JDBC scalability improvements

    Experience significantly faster performance when working with large database schemas. Our new lazy-loading logic eliminates timeouts by fetching metadata in smaller, on-demand increments, ensuring a smooth and responsive design experience even when connecting to the most complex data environments.

  • Streamlined repository access

    Simplify your onboarding. Report repositories and owners are now generated automatically. Upon login, the interface directs you straight to your personal repository, eliminating manual configuration and providing a seamless start-to-finish experience.

  • Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection

    implemented CSRF security filters across the entire application. This critical security update prevents unauthorized commands from being executed on behalf of authenticated users, significantly strengthening the platform's defense against malicious exploits and ensuring a more secure environment for your data.

  • Advanced Query Designer

    Our new JavaScript-based query editor is a powerful tool designed to bridge the gap between complex design and actionable data. This powerhouse editor offers an intuitive interface that combines visual drag-and-drop building with a professional text-based environment, allowing you to master datasets using standard SELECT, FROM, WHERE, and ORDER BY components. With integrated metadata insights and high-fidelity result previews, you can build sophisticated queries featuring conditional logic, dynamic expressions, and nested subqueries with confidence. Every design is backed by intelligent real-time validation, ensuring flawless accuracy and peak performance for your most demanding reports.

  • Modernized Repository UI
