In April, the Arelle team released version 2.39.11, introducing important regulatory finalizations, significant deployment optimizations, and internal code refactoring.
Compliance & Validation
- ESEF 2025: Finalized support for the ESEF 2025 reporting cycle.
- ESEF Authority Option: Introduced a new –esefAuthority configuration option across both the CLI and GUI.
- xBRL-CSV Support: Added metadata validation for xBRL-CSV Table Constraints.
Performance & Infrastructure
- Windows Performance: Significantly improved Windows startup performance, reducing launch time to 1–3 seconds.

- Proxy Integration: Implemented improved proxy support for better environment compatibility.
Architecture & Code Quality
