Hi folks,

We’ve decided to do a preview release as Ruport 1.4 will be coming out  
within the next couple weeks.

We’ve pretty much rounded off the features that will be in the  
release, and now just need your help identifying bugs and possibly  
making minor changes for things we’ve forgotten.

It’s a good idea to actually download this and try to make it work  
with your production apps, because although the API and packaging  
changes[0] are ultimately not substantial,  
they are numerous enough to maybe break some of your code.

There are also some new features[1] which you might find interesting.  
We’ll announce a complete change list with examples on our mailing  
list soon.

== Get It ==

– The main ruport package:

gem install ruport --source [http://gems.rubyreports.org](http://gems.rubyreports.org)

– If you need ActiveRecord support

gem install acts\_as\_reportable --source [http://gems.rubyreports.org](http://gems.rubyreports.org)

– If you need Ruport::Query support or other ruport-util features

gem install ruport-util --source [http://gems.rubyreports.org](http://gems.rubyreports.org)

== Notes ==

- acts\_as\_reportable is now it’s own gem, but you should not need to  
do anything special besides install the gem for it to work.  
Please let us know if this is not the case.

- To use Ruport::Query, you will need to add the following line to  
your programs (in addition to installing the gem)

require "ruport/util’

That’s pretty much it for now, so let us know what you think on the  
Ruport List[2]. Thanks!

-greg
