Hi folks,
Ruport 1.4 is now ready, so please try it out and let us know what you
think.
For those not familiar with Ruport, it is a business reporting toolset
for Ruby. You can find more details on our website:
== What's new? ==
This release mostly focuses on modularizing different Ruport
components, tightening up the core a bit.
However, we have added a few features to make things a little easier,
mostly tweaks to the formatting system. Here's just one of many:
table.save_as "foo.csv" # generate a CSV
table.save_as "foo.pdf" # generates a PDF
table.save_as "foo.my_format" # Calls the renderer and looks for a
formatter for my_format.
For details, check out this blog post:

If you need DBI support:

January, if not earlier.
