[Spirin Sergey]

Hello, all,

FastReport for [x]Harbour (FRH) 4.8 released.
Most impotant changes in 4.8:

* PDF-export is fully rewritten: added full unicode support, improved
performance, decreased memory requirements, added vertical text
rendering (it was a problem in the previous version) etc.

+ added RTF 4.1 support for TfrxRichText object
+ adedd checksum calculating for 2 5 interleaved barcode

and many others.

FRH specific:

+ UserDataSet is fully adapted to work with binary data fields
(ordinary images).
New syntax of SetUserDataset():

In second parameter, binary fields must be marked with "^b" - suffix,
for example:

:SetUserDataSet("MyDS", "NumericField;BlobField^b" , ....

+ New build-in function is addded:

function LoadImageFromHbVar(Picture: TfrxPictureView; HbVar: string):
Variant

LoadImageFromHbVar loads image to TfrxPictureView-object from [x]
Harbour variable.
Example of using:

In [x]Harbour:

MyVar := memoread("C:\MyPicture.jpg")

In Report:

procedure ReportHOnStartReport(Sender: TfrxComponent);
begin
LoadImageFromHbVar(Picture1, 'MyVar');
end;

! New example for interactive report is added at web-site.
! FRH/FRAX web-site is redesigned! Some additiotional info is added.
