DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNLESS YOU CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE BREAKING CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE!
This release will be in Beta for some time. While we are confident in the stability of this release, Web Portal now requires .Net 4.8 (or 4.8.1).
Do not update unless you're already on .Net 4.8 or .Net 4.8.1.

Web Portal:
- NEW: .Net 4.8 is now required. Previously .Net 4.6 or later was supported.
- NEW: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) via email is now supported. This is easily configured in web.config, but make sure your web.config SMTP settings are correct and tested (see #3 below)
- NEW: SMTP configuration and your LDAP or LDAPS configuration can now be tested directly from Administrator, Settings interface.
- NEW: "_NO_GROUP_" group has been added so it can be added to reports with invalid groups (see bug fix below)
- NEW: An additional command line to prompt end users for parameters as been added to the Edit Report interface (just under previous command line)
- NEW: Due to the way command lines now work, any time a page requires (re)authentication, after authenticating, you will be re-directed back to the previous page you were trying to load
- NEW: If calling a report via command line, the report is now verified to be available to the end user once they log in (previously a report could technically be run by anyone via the command line -- this is no longer possible)
- Update: Command-line options have been greatly expanded (and configured to work with MFA as well); you can now optionally pass a report command line that will show the Web Portal prompts to the end user before running the report; you can also hide the Web Portal end user interface completely (except for logging on once) -- this enables your to seamlessly integrate the command line interface with any web site to run web-based reports; certain messages that would have previously been displayed in the Web Portal end user interface now redirect to simple HTML-based pages
- Update: When running command line, if a report has a pre-set parameter using a user value, parameters passed via the command line will no longer override the pre-set parameter
- Update: SMTP settings have been expanded to include setting the port, SSL on/off, and name; the Web Portal SMTP settings are used for sending password reset messages and the new MFA messages
- Update: Additional log file messages have been added for debugging
- Update: Made a number of web.config tweaks/changes/additions to improve security and current recommended practices (part of the reason .Net 4.8 is now required)
- Bug Fix: Previously if a report had an invalid (or deleted/removed) group assigned to it, the report would accidentally be deleted/lost; this no longer happens. In a case like this, the group "_NO_GROUP_" will be assigned to the report. No one has access to "_NO_GROUP_" so it will maintain the report configuration until you assign it to a proper group.
