OpenRPT 2.0 Available for Download

12/29/06 | by Joseph A. di Paolantonio [mail] | Categories: Computers and Internet, Open Source, Business Intelligence, Reports

OpenMFG announced the availability of OpenRPT 2.0 on 2006 December 20. From their forum...

"OpenRPT 2.0 was retooled from the ground up to take full advantage of the underlying Qt 4 framework. Qt is an open source, comprehensive development framework that includes an extensive array of features, capabilities and tools that enable development of high-performance, cross-platform rich-client and server-side applications. Among the new OpenRPT features enabled by updating from Qt 3 to Qt 4 is the ability to export to Adobe PDF natively for both the OpenRPT API and the rendering application.

"Other new features include support for generic ODBC database connections (the first release only supported the open source PostgreSQL database - and native PostgreSQL support continues in 2.0); enhanced page break functionality; and power tools for developers such as command-line arguments and parameters, multiple document printing, and advanced error trapping.

"Since it was released as an open source project in 2005, OpenRPT has been downloaded over 30,000 times..."end quotation

Current Version Confusion for JasperReports iReports

12/28/06 | by Joseph A. di Paolantonio [mail] | Categories: Computers and Internet, Open Source, Reports

We're a bit confused as to what is the current version of JasperSoft's JasperReports and iReport. SourceForge.net has version 1.3.0 of both JasperReports and iReport available for download, but with the disclaimer that...

JasperReports, the market leading open source business intelligence and reporting engine. This project is being moved to http://www.jasperforge.org/. This project is the home for all things Jasper, Reports, Analysis, Server, and Intelligence.end quotation
-- JasperReports Java Reporting home on SourceForge

The only downloads from JasperForge seem to be for documentation. Going to JasperSoft's site, there is only reference to the November release of 1.2.8, but the downloads page, after a free registration, brings you back to SourceForge.net and the 1.3.0 versions of the software.

I guess the holidays are just delaying the official release announcements. Enjoy.
