PAT 0.8 released!

[Paul Stoellberger]

Hi PAT-fans,

for those of you who didn't notice, PAT 0.8 was released today!

• New Features: 
  New Query Design workflow
  Drill Up (opposite of Drill Replace)
  Major improvements of drill support
  Fix saving queries (especially on mondrian connections)
  Inline schema editor
  Re-Save queries
  Basic Role support
  Multiple Hierarchies

!!! Loading a saved query doesn't show the selections but you can execute the query anyway. And the Drag and Drop query design may still have a few issues. We know about it and will fix this as soon as possible !!!


You can access an online demo at our new server (donations are still welcome ;-)
Feedback is very welcome and needed. Please take some time to give us some feedback and/or file JIRA's!


You can download the following packages:


- PAT Standalone pre-configured server for Windows and Linux/Mac
Download, Extract, run start-patserver.bat / start-patserver.sh and access it via http://localhost:8080/


- PAT Standalone WAR
Just drop the WAR file into your favourite Java Webserver and access it via e.g: http://localhost:8080/pat-0.8/
PAT will use per default an in-memory HSQLDB for persistence, so if you restart its all gone.
You can change the settings in tomcat/webapps/pat-0.8/WEB-INF/pat.properties


- PAT Plugin (works with biserver 3.6)
Just download and extract the bundle into your pentaho-solutions/system folder
When you start up the User Console just look out for a blue cube icon :-)

- PAT User Guide

The user guide explains how to use and configure the pat-server and pat-plugin


For those of you who are interested in the bleeding edge versions of PAT, we have set up a continuous integration environment:
- CI PAT Standalone WAR
- CI PAT pre-configured server
- CI PAT plugin (without biserver)




Don't hesitate to contact us in case you need some further information, assistance with the download packages, or want to contribute!


Have fun!
