XPO
XPO – New Server Mode components with lower memory consumption and improved load, sort, group and filter performance (v19.1)
New read-only server mode components – XPServerModeView and XPInstantFeedbackView – represent mixtures of XPServerCollectionSource/XPInstantFeedbackSource and XPView for use with DevExpress Grid controls.
Reports
Reporting - Data Federation (v19.1)
Sometimes, all the data you require for a report is not available in a single location. Perhaps the main application uses a SQL database, but there are secondary systems with their own data storage. Or perhaps users accumulate information in external files, for instance Excel spreadsheets. In order to create a report, you need to combine data from multiple sources. Our new Federation Data Source allows you to do this.
