[DataVision-users] [ANN] DataVision0.9.3 released

[Jim M. <ji...@io...>]

DataVision 0.9.3 is now available from SourceForge at
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33343>.

DataVision (http://datavision.sf.net) is an Open Source reporting tool 
similar
to Crystal Reports. Reports can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. 
They
may be run, viewed, and printed from the application or exported as 
HTML, XML,
PDF, LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files. The 
output files
produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can in turn be used to produce PDF, 
text,
HTML, PostScript, and more.

DataVision is written in Java and uses the Bean Scripting Framework to 
add
multi-language scripting. DataVision ships with JRuby.

Changes:

* Reports with subreports will run faster, because subreport query 
results are
   cached.

* The MySQL test data generator now properly generates upper-case names 
and
   names with spaces.

Bug fixes:

* After changing a field's format, it would disappear from report 
output after
   the report was saved and read in again. This was because the field's 
format
   string was being saved as an empty string. Fixed.

* Fixed a serious subreport bug: when subreports were saved as part of a
   report and re-loaded, they would not run properly.

* Fixed another subreport bug: if a subreport has multiple joins, put 
"and"
   between them when generating SQL.
