I've just visited the seagate software site and did gather some information about this new crystal reports version.
Some new features
- preformated HTML and RTF input text can be used.
- Printing rotated text
- Conditional Font formatting
- Circles, ovals and boxes with rounded corners
- JPEG support
- Embedded hyperlinks into reports
- DHTML report viewer
- Export to DHTML
- Creating / modifying reports at runtime (runtime license)
- MTS support
- Enhanced performance.
Sadly there still is no support form Visual FoxPro files natively, so we still must use ODBC or Fox 2.6 files.
This and other new features makes that crystal reports is evolving to be the one and only report writer for visual studio developers IMO.
