Scalable Query Engine
It is a microservice application that allows you to offload Ad Hoc Queries execution from JasperReports Server to a separate service, which allows you to minimize on JasperReport Server nodes provisioning and quickly scale up where there is a peak load to on your system and scale down where there is no demand in Ad Hoc.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlink Settings have been added for Crosstab & Table Ad Hoc view dashlets in Dashboards.
Externalize Audit & Access Events
Audit and Access events can be moved to different databases using split installation/upgrade, which improves performance of the JasperReports server and simplifies future upgrades and migrations.
