== Ruport 0.4.13 ==  
The “Lucky Numbers” Edition

== About ==

Ruby Reports is a software library that aims to make the task of  
reporting less tedious and painful. It provides tools for data  
acquisition, database interaction, formatting, and munging.

== New in this release ==

This release features a revamp of the Report class into a mini DSL. This  
rolls  
database interaction, formatting tools, text filters, email and file  
support all  
into one interface. Additionally a number of bugs were squashed  
alongside some substantial code cleanup.

See an example at:

== Project News ==

- Why Lucky Numbers?

This is the lucky numbers release!

I’m not sure exactly what that means but here are some numbers:

- 5th release since the start of Google’s Summer of Code
- exactly 300 assertions in the unit tests (spooky!)
- 13 for the minor revision number!

- SVN now being mirrored

But on to the real news. We’ve now migrated to Trac on a third party  
ISP, so there are two things to note about our SVN on rubyforge.

1. It’s a half hour behind.

and

1. All the commits will show up as dudleyf, but you will see the  
actual author in the log messages.

- Open Discussion Tonight

If anyone missed the announcement, we’re holding an open discussion  
tonight from 23:30 → 00:30 UTC in the #ruport channel on Freenode.

Fun will be had by all (i hope)
