New features

XFRX is now able to convert reports to plain text. This option is useful for:

• Printing the report on a character based printer (e.g. dot matrix printer)
• Using the report output in a character based environment - e.g. showing the output in a dos window or sending it as a plain text email message

For more information about the new plain text output option, please see the plain text option chapter in the XFRX manual.

Bug fixes

• XFRX report engine
  • When the "Print repeated values" option is switched to "No", the "Also print In first whole band of new page/column" option is now correctly handled
  • Fixed the problem with cutting last words of long labels
  • The crashing problem on very long text objects (thousands of lines) has been fixed.
• PDF output
  • Tabs are now correctly handled in the PDF output (the tab width is derived from the font and font size used).
  • The problem with rectangles and lines misplacement was fixed (the rectangles and lines were shifted by 1/2 - 2 points, depending on the line width).
• XFRX report previewer
  • The report previewer could not be closed if the report generated was empty or the generation process was interrupted
  • The problem with searching through long text objects was fixed (the search algorithm didn't correctly displayed all occurrences of the text searched)
