We just updated this backend of ReportingCloud to TX Text Control X16 that has been [recently released](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2018/11/14/tx-text-control-x16-and-tx-barcode-net-50-released/llms-full.txt). This automatically enables several new features in ReportingCloud that can be used right away without implementing new end points on your side. You can find a detailed list of the new TX Text Control X16 features in the [What's New](https://www.textcontrol.com/product/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/whats-new/2600/) section. Primarily, the following features are interesting and relevant for ReportingCloud: - **MS Excel Formulas** ReportingCloud supports 100+ formulas, including most mathematical and trigonometric formulas compatible to Microsoft Excel. Typically, a SUM formula is inserted at the end of a table to create a total sum value. - **Data Shaping** Merge blocks can be sorted and filtered. This enables very flexible data structures and data shaping options in ReportingCloud based reporting applications. - **PDF AcroForm Import Coming soon** ReportingCloud will be able to import AcroForm form fields from Adobe PDF documents. The portal, template editor and the widget have been updated to the latest version as well. ### New PHP Wrapper Available Additionally, we published [ReportingCloud PHP Wrapper 2.0](https://github.com/TextControl/txtextcontrol-reportingcloud-php). One of the major changes is that all Laminas (formerly Zend Framework) dependencies have been removed. All notable changes can be found [here](https://github.com/TextControl/txtextcontrol-reportingcloud-php/blob/master/doc/release-2.0.0.md).
