Dodeca Version 8.6.2

February 25, 2026 - Build 46

This version of the Dodeca Framework uses the .NET Framework, version 4.7.2 and higher on the desktop. The components used in this version of Dodeca are SpreadsheetGear 2023 (9.3.23.102), NetAdvantage 2021, Volume 2 (21.2.46), Aspose.Cells 24.10.0, Aspose.Slides 24.10.0, Syncfusion Essential Studio 25.1.39, GdPicture.NET 14.1.0.121, Telerik UI 2025.3.812, and Xceed Zip 3.6.7363.15420.

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 17 and 21. The minimum supported versions of popular Java Application Servers are:

  • Apache Tomcat 10.1.x

  • Oracle WebLogic 14.1.2.x

The release notes for this version contain the following items:

Artifact Locks

  • Fixed Issue: It was possible to modify locked Excel artifacts and views via the import template tools and view template designer. Artifact locks are now enforced for all artifact update/insert/delete operations. #4296

Data Audit Log Viewer

  • Fixed Issue: The View ID filter was incorrectly sorted first by type, then by ID, and the User ID filter was not populated. Both filter lists are now populated correctly. #4295

DataSets

  • Fixed Issue: Some enumerated data type values were not properly migrated to strings, which prevented them from being loaded into a universal range. #4330

SmartClient

  • Fixed issue: Autocomplete hangs with large list. #4203

  • Fixed issue: Selector-SelectorList: When using a DefaultSelectionPolicy with a SQLHierarchy/ParentID SelectorListObjectTypeID and selecting an item that contains a Null, that Item is cached, but does not remain selected when re-running the view. #4272

  • Fixed issue: When the view has AutoBuldOnOpen, the AutoBuild tool, and a selector that is set to Modal, the view builds twice when it is opened and the selector values have been set. #4277

  • Fixed issue: SelectorSelectionChanged event no longer honors the SetCover/Cover=True method/argument. #4282

View Selectors

  • Fixed Issue: When the application uses the ViewSelectorExplorerBarTreeHybrid view selector type, opening saved views from the context menu fails with an error message similar to the following: The selected view "<view name>" does not exist. This issue was introduced in Dodeca 8.4.8. #4333

Workbook Scripting

  • Fixed Issue: Starting in Dodeca 8.6.1, the execution of all Workbook Script methods temporarily disables the view. This can result in significant flickering of Selectors and other UI elements. This issue was introduced in Dodeca 8.6.1. #4323

  • Fixed Issue: Composite view type Event Links do not have default procedures; any attempt to enter them manually will result in removal upon commit. #4163

  • Fixed Issue: In WBS debug mode, BeforeOpenInExcel and BeforeSaveAsExcel events should not fire when open or save as Excel buttons are clicked. #4262

  • Fixed Issue: The SetImage method, General overload, setting the Visible argument to False fails. #4284

  • Enhancement: Using the SendEmail method-ServletSMTP overload, added the ability to use the AttachedViewFilename value as the name of the attached view. #4103

  • Known Issue: When the ExecuteProcedure method calls the CopyRange method on a hidden sheet, the sheet is temporarily unhidden. See #4323 for details.

  • Fixed Issue: The FollowHyperlink event was not being raised asynchronously, which could result in an error message similar to the following when a downstream view or method requires an OAuth token: Unable to login and connect to the database. Unable to obtain a new access token in a synchronous view. #4314
