XFRX version 9.7

Release date: 07/21/2004

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)
