Hi @Ricardo77 - the release for Report Server was supposed to be Sept, but they delayed it until October because they wanted the new Enhanced MetaData format in the product, which is what allows external tools.

MS blogged about it here. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/release-update-for-sept-2020-release-of-power-bi-report-ser...

 

So look for it in the next 6-8 weeks.

Can check the equivalent version for the report server. Previously the optimized for report server version used to be 2-3 months behind.
