New Features

• Data Grouping - Users can now group (e.g. sum, count, average) data through the UI instead of the code editor. This is done by using the new Aggregation options added in step four of the Data Connection Wizard, in the Advanced Properties section.
• Stored Connection Strings - Users may now store a connection string as a key in app.config file and reference this key in the Data Connection Wizard. This allows them to update a central source instead of every created web part.
• Filter Using LIKE - Users may now use the LIKE operator when applying filters to data, with the % symbol as a wildcard. For example, "John%" will match "John Smith" and "John Doe".
• Disable Custom Code – By using the disableCodeExecution key in the app.config file custom code may be prevented from executing at all, regardless of what has been entered into the code editor.

Issues Fixed

• Web parts now run through SPDisposeCheck without returning any true positives. (8550)
• Broken links in documentation corrected. (8894)
