These release notes reflect the changes with respect to ReportServer RS4.3.0-6083.
In ReportServer 4.4.0, we upgraded both Saiku and Mondrian libraries to new versions (to 3.16.1 and 9.4 respectively). As Mondrian 4 is not longer developed, we removed support for Mondrian 4 datasources, which were the default until ReportServer 4.3.0. Note that the old Mondrian 3 datasources are compatible with the new Mondrian 9 datasources, while Mondrian 4 uses a completely different, deprecated syntax.
As of ReportServer 4.4.0, your country/region can be configured in the main/localization.cf configuration file. This may be important when using currencies in your reports. For example, if your Jasper reports use standard currency signs, and are executed using the "DE" (Germany) region code, their currencies will be printed in Euro. If they are executed using the "US" region code, their currencies will be printed in Dollars.
You can find more information on the available country/region codes here.
The default main/localization.cf file is shown below.
As of ReportServer 4.4.0, you can easily change your Saiku/Mondrian chart colors via the ui/theme.cf configuration file to match your corporate identity. You can add or remove colors depending on your specific needs. Note that this configuration file is only active in the Enterprise Editions.
In the following screenshots you can see a comparison of the same charts with different themes.
The default ui/theme.cf file is shown below.
