DataVision 0.5.1 released

[Jim Menard]

DataVision 0.5.1 has been released.

DataVision is an Open Source database reporting tool similar to Crystal
Reports. Reports can be viewed and printed from the application or output
as HTML, LaTeX2e, XML, DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files. The
output files produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can in turn be used to produce
PDF, text, HTML, PostScript, and more.

Report descriptions are stored as XML files. This means you can not only
use the DataVision GUI, but you may also edit reports using your favorite
text editor.

DataVision is written in Java. It runs under Linux, Windows, various
flavors of BSD and Unix, and Mac OS X. It can generate reports from Oracle,
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Informix, hsqldb, Microsoft Access, and any other
database with available JDBC drivers.

As always, you can find DataVision at
http://datavision.sourceforge.net.

Changes:

* Added the '-w' Swing layout engine command line option. Now you can run a
report and display the output without opening the GUI report design
window first.

Bug fixes:

* Removed extraneous '?' in XMLDecl when writing report XML file.

* Deleting a User Column from a report removes its SQL from the query.

* When a group footer is output, make sure all of the footers before
(above) it are also output.

* Fixed an error message problem when reading report XML.

* Fixed null pointer exception when reading a line from report XML.
