[Rlib-users] ANNOUNCING RLIB 1.1.1

Announcing RLIB 1.1.1 - “We're gonna party like its your birthday”


RLIB 1.1.1 is the result of weeks of intensive work, to make RLIB more
usable for more people. First off, support for postgresql has been
added. All database back ends (mysql, postgre) are separate libraries
now. PHP support is also a separate library now. This means you can use
RLIB from c/c++ as well now. But perhaps the most exciting feature in
RLIB 1.1.1 is the ability to have multiple datasources. Forinstnace, if
you have a two mysql databases, and one postgre on different servers..
you can use rlib to make reports from all the datasources.


RLIB 1.1.1 is a beta release, it should be as stable as RLIB 1.0.2, but
no promises. don't use it on production servers.


There are a few more exciting changes to look forward to in RLIB 1.2.0:

              * Precompiled XML files for faster reports
                
              * Informix Backend
                
              * PYTHON bindings
                
              * PERL bindings
                
                
        

Note: RLIB's XML syntax did not change at all, but the RLIB api changed
slightly in order to allow for the new ability to have
multiple/different datasources.


Also: We need some kind people to help us out by making examples and
documenting...
