Differences between iReports 3.0.0 and iReports 4.0.1

[halabe]

 Hi,

We are currently using iReports 3.0.0 to develop reports and we are thinking of upgrading to iReports 4.0.1.

We want to know what are the main differences between these 2 versions and what are the advantages of the upgrade.

Can someone let me know where I can find a document stating these deifferences?

 

Thanks.

iReport 4.0.1 have many improved features than 3.0.0 like support for netbeans, support for barcodes and improved style library etc.

jrxml developed in 3.0.0 may not be supported by 4.0.1.

refer release documents of higher versions of ireport 3.0.0 for more info

If you want to know details of 2 version you can read change log.

In my opinion, version 4.0.1 really speed up your report, compile jrxml very fast.

And one function i want to note is accepting you design more than one detail band, It is useful for me when i create report.

 Thanks for the replies but I want to know where I can find the change logs.

I checked the website but just found the ones of versions 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 and nothing between 3.0.0 and 4.0.0

This is bug change log:

And if you want to read full change log (new feature and bug) you can see one by one in:

I think you should use iReports 4.0.1, it is a little difficult to design more than 3.0.0 but speed up your application. And note, you should get the lib .jar accompany in C:Program FilesJasperSoftiReport-4.0.0ireportmodulesext to the lib of your application:

• commons-collections
• commons-digester
• commons-logging
• groovy-all
• iText
• jasperreports
• poi
