BIRT 2.3 Released



BIRT 2.3 has arrived and with this release many new features are available. Most notable are the JavaScript improvements that include an improved JavaScript Editor (validation, line numbers, code folding), a new JavaScript Debugger, and the ability to add JavaScript files to a report design using the GUI. Also new scripting events are available for crosstabs and charts. BIDI support is also provided in all output formats. Many crosstab enhancements were made, including the ability to display measure data using charts within the crosstab. With BIRT 2.3 crosstabs support derived measures as well.


To read more about the new BIRT 2.3 features see the BIRT New and Notable Features.
