This version of the Dodeca Framework uses the .NET Framework, version 2.0, Service Pack 1 and higher on the desktop. The components used in this version of Dodeca are SpreadsheetGear 2012 (7.1.2.150), NetAdvantage 2011, Volume 1 (11.1.20111.2042), Aspose.Cells 8.2.0.0, Syncfusion Essential Studio 11.3035.0.30, and GdPicture.NET 11.0.6.
This version of Dodeca has two server-side services that run inside a Java Application Server. The Dodeca service is supported and tested on Java 1.6. The Dodeca-Essbase service for all Essbase versions prior to, and including, Essbase 11.1.1.3 are supported and tested on Java 1.5. The Dodeca-Essbase service for all Essbase versions 11.1.1.4 and higher are supported and tested on Java 1.6. Both services are known to run on Java 1.7, although extensive testing has not been performed on that Java version.
This release is intended as a patch to address an issue in each of two of the third-party components: Aspose.Cells and GdPicture.NET. Both components are used to support PDF-related functionality.
Aspose.Cells is used to convert an Excel file to a PDF. When a view template contains a cell with subscripting or superscripting, additional spaces were being inserted before the sub/superscript during the conversion. Since the extraneous spaces were contained in the PDF, the issue was apparent both when the PDF was viewed in Dodeca as well as when viewed in an external PDF viewer.
When the PDF Viewer is used within Dodeca, the PDF is rendered and displayed using the GdPicture.NET control. The position of a superscript or subscript was being rendered at the text baseline instead of slightly above or below the baseline, respectively.
In addition to addressing the issues with the third-party components, this release also contains the following:
