Magic Suite
1

Magic Suite 4.1 is here, and it is a big one! With 532 resolved Jira tickets - including 64 new features and stories, 358 bug fixes, and over 100 code quality improvements - this release delivers major architectural changes, powerful new capabilities, and a significantly more polished experience across the entire suite.

Here is a summary of what is new, what has improved, and what has been fixed.

Architecture and Platform

Blazor WebAssembly to Server-Side Rendering (SSR) Migration

The most significant change in 4.1 is the migration from Blazor WebAssembly to Server-Side Rendering. This architectural shift improves initial load times, provides better SEO support, and enables a more responsive user experience across all Magic Suite applications.

https://reportmagic.net/ Removal

The legacy https://reportmagic.net/ application has been retired. This now directs to https://report.magicsuite.net/ using the shared Magic Suite Framework - resulting in a cleaner, more maintainable architecture.

DocMagic Modernisation

DocMagic has been converted from a legacy application to a modern web app, bringing it in line with the rest of the Magic Suite ecosystem.

MagicSuite Agent Self-Installing Service

A new cross-platform self-installing service replaces the legacy WiX MSI installer (MS-22588). The MagicSuite Agent can now be deployed on Windows, Linux, and macOS with simple install/uninstall/upgrade/status commands, automatic configuration preservation, and legacy migration support.
