Ruby Reports 0.7.0 : The St. Nick Edition
------------------------------------------------------------
Ruport now has a brand new formatting system, some massive cleanup in
the internals, and merry chunky bacon for all!
== What is Ruby Reports? ==
Ruport is a framework specialized for business reporting. It provides
a custom toolkit that has features such as database interaction, data
manipulation, extensible formatting, and flexible report generation.
Ruby Reports makes reporting less painful by providing a simple and
consistent way of developing your applications. This lets you focus on
your task without undue friction.
== Installation ==
sudo gem install ruport -y
Detailed instructions here: http://ruport.infogami.com/Installation
== New To Ruport? ==
Please see our not-yet-complete getting started guide:

== Resources ==
Links to our mailing list, developer wiki, some basic examples, and
other resources can be found on our project homepage:

== Changelog ==
changes since 0.6.1
- The formatting system has been replaced with a new approach which is hopefully
more flexible and simple. Many of the plugins have gained some new features.
- All of the legacy formatting tools in format.rb have been removed.
(Namely, Text Filters)
- rope is now implemented via Ruport::Generator, which can be customized to
build your own code generation tools for Ruport.
- Several simplifications have been made to the Report DSL. (Now has
erb/textile methods and other feature enhancements)
- Constructor for Data::Table added to Kernel for convenience. [ Table() ]
- Invoice engine removed. Will be re-released as an extension soon.
See the Ruport mailing list for a temporary solution
== Project News ==
We've put together a project roadmap which we'll update as things progress:
http://stonecode.svnrepository.com/ruport/trac.cgi/wiki/ProjectRoadmap
This is helpful if you want to see the 'big picture' of where Ruport is headed.
== Acknowledgments ==
Thank you to Stefan Mahlitz and llasram for the patches!
