Ruport 1.4 is now ready, so please try it out and let us know what you think.

For those not familiar with Ruport, it is a business reporting toolset
for Ruby.  You can find more details on our website:

http://rubyreports.org/

== What's new? ==

This release mostly focuses on modularizing different Ruport
components, tightening up the core a bit.

However, we have added a few features to make things a little easier,
mostly tweaks to the formatting system.  Here's just one of many:

  table.save_as "foo.csv" # generate a CSV
  table.save_as "foo.pdf" # generates a PDF
  table.save_as "foo.my_format" # Calls the renderer and looks for a
formatter for my_format.
