1. WHAT's NEW
---------------
A list of changes in recent versions:
3.7.0:
* Added more translations to previously hardcoded strings in the
report designer and reporting engine.
* Refactoring: Moved EllipsisButton down to LibSwing.
* [BUG] PRD-2474: The array cell editor should have icons for its add
and remove buttons.
* [BUG] PDI-2840, PRD-2555: ResourceBundles must be loaded with the
classloader that was used to load the library.
* [BUG] PRD-2475: Parameter did not have a valid datatype computed in
the metadata. With this fix, all parameter properties are available
in the column metadata layer.
* Increased the size of the left panel in the report-design-wizard
by 10 pixel for SWT rendering.
* The field-selector in LibFormula-UI now also shows icons for all the
fields and thus makes it possible to differentiate between parameter
formulas/expressions and datafactory fields.
* [BUG] The structure tree cell renderer failed hard if it encounters
datafactories that have no metadata.
* [BUG] PRD-2639: Config-Editor shows all entries for a module
in a seemingly random order and thus makes it hard to find the
correct key to edit.
* Schema-Definition contains parameter
* Indexed access
* parameter-encoding is configurable
* Count by page renamed
* Imagemap support added
* Settings dialog in PRD
* Publish Dialog cleanout
* JDK 1.6 - JTabbedPane now a standard JTabbed pane with better MacOS
support
* PRD-2502: The build system now splits all lib-directories into
internal and external directories so that dependency management
inside a IDE becomes a bit easier.
* PRD-2667: Update all startup scripts so that they contain either a
JDK 1.6 reference (MacOS) or at least contain a warning that from
now on JDK 1.6 is required to run the report designer.
* [BUG] COMMONS-75: Mnemonics can be a empty string and must not
fail.
* [BUG] PRD-2684: In the parameter editor, the default-value should
accept its input in the same format as given in the parameter
dataformat text-field.
In addition to the fix for PRD-3.6.1-GA, we now have a couple of
new settings to control the default format strings for date/time
and numeric types.

2. * [API] CancelListener is now a real event listener. This caused
changes in all datasource preview workers.
3.6.1-GA:
* [BUG] PRD-2698: Previewing a report with parameters failed
without a sensible error message if the parameters encountered
an error. The plain-text preview did not even query for
parameters and failed instantly when mandatory parameters were
defined.
* [BUG] PRD-2714: Using the select-all menu-item or the Menu+A
shortcut also selected the page-band and thus did not allow to
move elements around.
* [BUG] PRD-2680: The list of supported output formats is now a
list provided by the reporting engine. This reduces the chances
of having invalid properties defined in this field.
* [BUG] PRD-2433: Importing XLS files with irregular cell
structures failed with a NullPointerException.
* [BUG] PRD-2694: The shift-key as drag-selection enabler behaved
badly as it was only recognized if the band editor had the focus.
* [BUG] PRD-2699: The parameter editor dialog did not display the
defined values for query, column-id or the display-value column
if the database connection could not be established or if the
referenced query was not found in one of the connections.
* [BUG] PRD-2661: Th PreProcessor sample in the report-designer
must use the correct SampleData connection.
* [BUG] PRD-2684: In the parameter editor, the default-value should
accept its input in the same format as given in the parameter
dataformat text-field.
If no format is given, the canonical ISO format is used.
* PRD-2337: The generated MacOS bundle should have a user-friendly
name. "Pentaho Report Designer" is so much better than
"report-designer".
* [BUG] PRD-2660, PRD-2659: Creating Kettle objects by invoking the
public no-arg constructor generates invalid objects that cause
errors in Kettle later. We have to manually match our object
with one that is provided by Kettle's many public arrays, and
then use the Kettle object (that has been initialized by some
arcane magic or a spell of a dragon or so).
This bug caused weird errors in the JDBC and Mondrian datasourc
editor, which uses Kettle as metadata backend.
* [BUG] PRD-2587: Need to disable HTML rendering, as this does not
work in tables. Backported the GenericCellEditor to LibSwing.
3.6.1-RC1: (2010-04-29)
* [BUG] PRD-2637: A ClassCastException occured after the last
report has been closed. This was caused by a invalid model/
tree path given while trying to restore the now invalid
expand-nodes state.
* [BUG] PRD-2633: The document-metadata editor must treat empty
textfields as null values so that we remove empty titles from
the report.

3. * [BUG] PRD-2640: The Welcome pane did not have a keyboard handler
on the tree and thus never allowed the user to open the reports
by hitting Enter.
* [BUG] PRD-2629: The various "Close" operations did not handle
user-cancel requests properly and continued to close reports
without permission.
* [BUG] PRD-2628, PRD-2631: Save and Save As did not properly
update the resource keys of "definition-source" and "content-base"
and the assigned resource-manager to the possibly new prpt
location. Therefore all bundle-internal resource references
were lost and saving or running a modified report with embedded
images or embedded resources failed.
* [BUG] PRD-2633: The wizard needs to clear the document metadata
when materializing a report from a template.
* [BUG] PRD-2581: Group-header and -footer labels were not
initialized correctly and thus grossly misbehaved.
* [BUG] PRD-2599: The default-value editor in the parameter dialog
was not updated correctly when selecting a new parameter class
or when switching between single-selection and multi-selection
parameter types.
* [BUG] PRD-2614: Due to invalid internal events fired at the worst
times we ended up creating resource keys that could not be embedded
into the PRPT file when the report is saved. Thus saving the report
failed.
* [BUG] Cleaned out the Help->System Information dialog so that all
the entries there are sorted.
* [BUG] Removed some unnecessary libraries that were brought in via
IVY.
* [BUG] PRD-2608: The metadata dialog did misbehave when it was resized
and did not remember the last location of the XMI files it loaded.
* [BUG] PRD-2604: A invalid attribute name was used when writing
wizard-specification documents. Therefore loading the report later
did not restore the name.
* [BUG] PRD-2603: Removing extra template groups when generating a
report from a wizard-template was not working properly.
* [BUG] PRD-2597: The Display-Title for tabs and window-title-bar in
the report-designer was computed in a wrong way.
* [BUG] PRD-2496: A Date-CellEditor did not allow <null> values and
thus it was impossible to unset a previously defined default value.
* [BUG] When the first Group did not define a name, the group-selector
in the table-editors became impossible to use.
* [BUG] PRD-2453: When saving a report, we have to update the content
base property of the report, so that relative paths can be resolved
in the UI editor.
* [BUG] PRD-2547: Copy&Paste of banded subreports converted the
subreports into inline-subreports.

4. * [BUG] PRD-2573: Translations in the publish dialog were missing and
thus showing the error dialog on publish problems failed with a
MissingTranslationException.
* [BUG PRD-2520: Moving elements in the editor behaved badly as soon
as a border was set. The layouter did not take borders into account
and thus all subsequent operations produced bad results.
* [API] PreviewParameterDialog in the engine now only accepts
MasterReport objects, as they are the only ones that can carry
external parameters.
* [BUG] PRD-2561: The field selector in the style table was always
empty, as the report designer context was never set.
* [BUG] PRD-2540, BISERVER-4129: When publishing a report with
non-ascii characters in the name, the report name was corrupted on
the server. The server automatically recodes all HTTP-requests to
the local system encoding and thus may break the encoding given by
the report designer.
* [BUG] PRD-2541: A invalid attribute was written when trying to
define the group-totals-label.
* [BUG] The Welcome-Pane showed empty directories as report files
and subsequently tried to load them when the user double clicked
on them.
* [BUG] PRD-2493: Page-Align dialog did nothing after being confirmed
by the user. This dialog is shown after the page format changed.
* Pentaho Reporting now uses Kettle 4.0 and Mondrian 3.2 to be
in sync with the latest BI-Server release.
* Added a "report-designer.properties" file in the resources directory
to make it more obvious for users where to put report-designer
related configuration settings.
* [BUG] AGILEBI-213, PRD-2460: The report-design-wizard should not show
the environment variables or parameter fields in the field selector.
* [BUG] PRD-2467: Templates used with RDW should have data connection
defined as JNDI Sample Data
* [BUG] PRD-2453: Resource linking always stored absolute paths
in the generated resource-key. We need to prefer relative paths
so that publishing or moving a report along with its images does
not break the report.
* [BUG] PRD-2446: Top-N-Analysis.prpt sample report was broken.
* Updated all copyrights to the year 2010.
3.6.0:
* [BUG] PRD-2435: Parameter messages must be localizable.
* [BUG] PRD-2431: Date values were not editable in the table-editor
and as default values in the parameter editor.
* [BUG] PRD-2362: Search was broken in the product documentation viewer.
* [BUG] Preview of data in the OLAP4J DataSource dialog did not work.
* [BUG] PRD-2424: Reading text from CLOBs was not working due to an

5. invalid index used in addressing offsets.
* [BUG] PMD-DataSource and XPath datasource did not update text from
the query-text area if the dialog was closed using a mouse, while
the text-area had the focus.
* [BUG] PRD-2417: Expressions to compute query-name, query-timeout
and query-limit did not have access to the subreport-parameters.
* [BUG] PRD-2409: There was a deadlock after editing a attribute or
style expression due to a invalid sequence of events being fired.
* [BUG] Trying to load images when IO-Errors or other unexpected
errors happened during an asynchronous loading process could result
in a deadlock. The AWT does not report the error state to the
ImageObserver in all cases. We therefore now have a time-out for
such cases.
* [BUG] PRD-2413: A removed/changed datasource can lead to a
NullPointerException when editing the datasource. This would render
the edit-operation invalid, as a invalid tree-path was computed.
* PRD-2421: Updated the JavaHelp documentation.
* AGILEBI-146: Various layout fixes in the report-design-wizard
* Changed the default-configuration for the inline editor of fields
so that multi-line can be edited a lot easier. Use SHIFT-ENTER to
begin a new line.
* PRD-2406: Added the ability to compute the default value of a
parameter. During the computation, the values of other parameters
is undefined and can be null.
* [BUG] PRD-2388: Kettle's internal variables were not fully initialized.
We have to manually maintain the file-name of a transformation, as
we use our own loader mechanism.
* New formula-function to convert a string into a date with more control
over the conversion operation.
PARSEDATE([field]; "pattern"; "locale"; "timezone");
PARSEDATE([field]; "pattern"; "locale");
PARSEDATE([field]; "pattern");
* [BUG] PRD-2360: Deleting all connection definitions from the JDBC
datasource-dialogs instantly recreated these connections on the next
start of PRD. We now initialize the preconfigured connections only
once after a fresh installation.
* [BUG] PRD-2401: LineSparklines did not save/parse the "Last-Color"
property.
* [BUG] Parsing dates in LibFormula used the 12-hours time format, and
thus failed on many valid Timestamp and Time parse operations.
* [BUG] PRD-2397: Parsing old *.report files failed when color-properties
were used in functions.
* [BUG] PRD-2396: Editing a value in the side-panel and selecting a other
element or expression while the cell-editor was still active transfered
the edited value to the new selection.
* [BUG] PRD-2358: Mondrian parametrization was not working properly. The

6. parameter specified a hierarchy. There are situations when multiple
hiearchies use the same key (and Mondrian is configured to
accept unqualified member names) that a random hierarchy is selected
resulting in invalid or unexpected query results.
* [BUG] PRD-2395: The lookup for bug-fix 2358 was broken.
* [BUG] PRD-2400: The fix for PRD-2054 uncovered an other issue and broke
the pagebreak rollback/commit functionality. Reports affected by that
error could skip the printing of several rows of data.
* [BUG] PRD-2228: On subreports with sticky page-headers in their parent
reports, we did not use the correct set of data, and thus these headers
showed invalid values or just <null>.
* The default shell-scripts for Windows and Unix now pass all extra
parameter into the report-designer.
* Parsing environment properties into arrays is now a generic feature
and no longer limited to the "roles" array. To make that work, the
environment mapping must have the "-array" suffix. Thus a
mapping for "roles-array" will read the property "roles" and parse
it into an array.
* [BUG] PRD-2054: Page-Start event were fired in an incorrect order and
thus messed up functions that depend on them (like the
RowBandingFunction).
* [BUG] Crosstab rendering in PRD was broken and thus the editor did
not show the defined crosstab.
* PRD-2387: Mondrian dies if it hits invalid roles. We therefore provide
a filtering architecture that can provide either black- or white-
listing capabilities for roles.
* [BUG] PRD-2383: External changes to report-elements did not update the
side-panel tables and thus the tables showed outdated values.
* New formula-function: PARAMETERTEXT
The function converts values into text that is suitable for creating
parametrized URLs. The function encodes parameter values via
URLEncoding. This encoding can be disabled via a function parameter
if needed.
* [BUG] PRD-2380: Editing Page-Spanning reports did not work as the
PRD-rendering fed in invalid values.
* Parameter values that are Dates or Numbers are now compared with a
more relaxed algorithm and thus all equivalent values are accepted.
* The parameter editor dialog is now reorganized to make it easier to
create parameter.
* Invalid values and validation errors are now shown in the Parameter-UI.
* Both Mondrian and OLAP4J Datasources can now use the ${parameter}
syntax for parametrization. Be aware that you have to valid the
parameter properly as this kind of parametrization can lead to
MDX-injections from malicious users.
* New formula-function: IFNA
This function is a shortcut for IF(ISNA([field]); <value>; [field]).

7. * [BUG] PRD-2367: Date-Parsing was using a rather relaxed parse-algorithm
and thus increased chances to mess up the parse-result.
* PRD-2273: Editing values on multiple elements is easier now. Instead
of showing <null>, we now always show the value of the first element
that has been selected. Edit+Enter transfers that value to all
elements.
* PRD-2279: Re-enabled the alphabetical list view in the attribute and
styles tables.
* PRD-2276: A floating field-selector dialog has been added that makes
it easier to drag fields into the report. It should also reduce the
need to switch between the structure and data tabs.
* [BUG] PRD-2358: Excel page-header and footer attributes were not
correctly declared and thus never used.
* All well-known Report-Environment properties show up as fields now.
This way, they can be used as parameters in datasources or functions
without having to resort to formula-parameter or expressions.
* [Internal] Refactored the side-panel code so that it is less error
prone and less complex.
* PRD-2357: Opening a report now automatically hides the welcome-pane.
* [BUG] PRD-2350: The crosstabbing did not work when a dataset was not
fully normalized.
* PRD-2355: After growing tired of searching for the functionality to
make crosstabs show up in PRD, I moved this setting into the
Preferences dialog and put a large warning around it.
* [BUG] PRD-2356: The Insert-Crosstab action was not active on
relational groups.
* [BUG] PRD-2353: Crosstabs failed if executed as a subreport.
* PRD-2343: The chart editor no longer shows the expression names
or the "datasource" properties. The system manages these properties
automatically now.
* PRD-2352: The parameter-UI now honors the data-type when converting
Strings into Dates or Numbers so that the correct sub-type is returned.
* PRD-2084: Parameter now have a "data-format" attribute that can be used
to format and parse input in the UIs. Be aware that this property is a
UI only property and that values on a URL still need to be specified in
the standard ISO format.
* [BUG] PRD-2333: The distribution shipped with a bunch of invalid jars
that are neither required nor requested. We now filter these
dependencies
out.
* PRD-2278: We now remember the size and position of the swing preview
dialog in PRD.
* [BUG] Page-Setup did not trigger a repagination and thus it had no
visible effect.
* [BUG] PRD-2348: The alignment options dialog that shows up after a

8. pageformat has been changed must offer a explicit "none" option. This
is the same as closing the dialog via Cancel.
* [BUG] PRD-2277: Most dialogs now react to the "ESC" key and act as
if the "Cancel" button has been pressed.
* [BUG] PRD-2262: Richtext parsing was wrong. It did not honor block-
layout
elements like paragraphs and thus messed up the line-breaks.
* [BUG] PRD-2341: Invalid data in a JNDI connection definition rendered
reports uneditable.
* PRD-2345: We now ship with a sensible Mondrian-configuration.
* [BUG] PRD-2344: XY-AreaLineChart did not work properly.
* [BUG] PRD-2340: There was no <html::onmouseout> attribute declared in
the metadata.
* [BUG] PRD-2282: The selection in the tree and the focused root-band-
editor
were easily out of sync. Now we do our best to keep the focus in sync
with the tree's selection.
* [BUG] PRD-2322: The "anti-aliasing" style-key was not persisted.
* [BUG] PRD-2259: The row-layout was messed up and caused
IllegalStateExceptions when the vertical-alignment was set to "middle"
or "bottom" and there was extra space to distribute.
* [BUG] PRD-2324: A illegal offset caused that we never printed the page-
footer
in the table-pageable-mode.
* [BUG] MacOS integration was broken as mutliple application-listeners
on the same application do not work well. This caused "open" events to
be swallowed.
* PRD-2323: The sample-database is now a inmemory database and thus does
not
require any file-access at all.
* [BUG] PRD-2325: Exports of Excel-Sheets with HREF-target text longer
than
256 characters caused errors on export. Excel has a hard limitation of
256 characters per string-literal. If we encounter such overly long
HREF
we now ignore the HREF declaration.
* [BUG] PRD-2321: Current working directory was not detected correctly if
it
contained spaces.
* BISERVER-3765: Updated MySQL driver to 5.1.7.
* PRD-2272: Create a default entry in the bundle for localization.
This gives a nice little guideline for new users and matches the
new default from the configuration.
* PRD-2250: Introduced Sensible defaults for localizable reports.
Report-resource-bundles now default to "translations"
within the bundle. This default can changed via the report
configuation.

9. New reports created by the report-designer now always include a
empty "translations.properties" file, which matches the default
for the resource-bundle. Additional languages can be added by
creating additional "translations_<lang>_<region>.properties"
files.
* PRD-2303: Allow users to specify the files that should be opened at
startup on the commandline. At the moment, this does not work for
Mac users using the Finder or the application-bundle.
* PRD-2300: Env-Properties are now available as fields. Roles as array
are now there as well.
* Added some trim() calls to the query string to make the
static-datasource easier to use.
* PRD-2296: XYLineAreaChartExpression added. The expression was
contributed by Roman.
* PRD-2267: Updated the assembly for PRD to include sampledata and
updated the default simple-jndi properties file to find that
sampledata with a relative file path.
This will remove our dependence on having a running sampledata
database to demonstrate the samples.
* PRD-1091: Added two new properties "categoryTitleFont" and
"categoryTickFont" so that the font size and style of the category
axis can be configured independently from the other labels.
The old x-font is now known as "label-font" as it is the most
generic font and serves as defaults to all other fonts. x-font
now maps to "categoryTitleFont" and the new x-tick-font maps to
"categoryTickFont".
* PRD-2212: Added OLAP4J (Advanced) and Mondrian (Advanced) datasources.
These datasources work exactly as the SQL (Advanced) datasource by
allowing the query to be computed by a formula.
* PRD-2266: BSH and BSF-expressions now also have access to the full
expression runtime via the "runtime" bean.
* PRD-2234: We now have a printingsystem-independent page-setup dialog.
* Auto-Submit for parameters is now an attribute on the master-report.
* Arrays can be normalized (converted from internal Sequence-type to
Object[]) now, so that they can be used safely outside of a formula.
TypeRegistry now also accepts java.util.Collections as sources for
array and sequence objects.
* UI beautification for Metal-PLAF: Now all button-panes define a
minimum spacing between the buttons, so that they look at bit better.
* Added support for SQL-date types for parameters. In addition to
java.util.Date, we now also support java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time
and java.sql.Timestamp.
* PRD-917: Pie-Chart shadow-color and shadow-offset can be configured
for both PieChartExpression and MultiPieChartExpression.
* PRD-2207: Formulas can be used in parameters now. There are two
formula types: Display-value computation for lists, and for all
parameters a post-processor.

10. The parameter-dialog now also has settings for relaxed
parameter-validation and for hidden parameters.
* PRD-2224: Relaxed the editor to be active on both *.properties files
and files with a mime-type of "text/plain".
* PRD-2235: CSVARRAYFUNCTION added. This function converts an CSV text
into an array of strings.
* Added a new demo report showing the use of report-preprocessors
* PRD-2066: Providing a default log4j.xml so that editing the logging
is easier. You can find this log4j.xml file in the resources
directory of your PRD installation.
* Parameter-Support added to OLAP4J (except for members and sets)
* PRD-2077: Applied Pedro's patch and thus added set-member support
to Modrian datasources
* Config-Description-Editor now accepts the AbstractBoot as first
argument,
and therefore can edit other projects as well.
* [BUG] Formula Designer now warns on invalid formulas. Formulas missing
the equals sign or an valid context-selector are correctly detected
as invalid.
* [BUG] Added a sensible default configuration for EH-Cache to the
report-designer.
* [BUG] ReportEnvironmentDataRow no longer fails on missing roles
* [BUG] Mondrian's OLAP4J driver fired a UnsupportedOperationException
on non-implemented functions causing CellSet#close() to fail.
* [BUG] PRD-2317: NPE on close of resultset and statement
* [BUG] NPE on accessing childs of LibFormula's Term if the formula
was not initialized with a context.
* [BUG] Writing legacy-mondrian datasources failed due to invalid
tagname
* [BUG] PRD-2274: Finally we also cache the datasource objects we get
from JNDI.
* [BUG] PRD-2309: Horizontal-BarLine chart was not working, setting
the "horizontal" flag had no effect.
* [BUG] Fixed a NPE in CategorySetDataCollector when the series value
was null. We now ignore rows in that case.
* [BUG] Pentaho Metadata Data-Factory: DatabaseMeta object contains
empty strings, and thus the JNDI authentication fails (as empty
string is not null, which would be the indicator to use the default
user and password).
* [BUG] Added a very verbose warning to the LocalizedStringConceptMapper
if a translation is requested by cannot be found. Hopefully that
helps people to realize that we cannot display friendly names if
they provide models with missing translations.

11. * [BUG] PRD-2078: Opening reports with datasources that contained
datasources
that accessed unreachable hosts might lead to a hanging application.
This is caused by a firewall that does not send "host-not-reachable"
messages back, which tricks the connection into resending packages
until a timeout is reached.
Enabled the offline-mode in the menu and added the dreaded
security manager. PRD now understands two new command line
options:
--offline (or -o for short)
and
--with-offline-mode-security-manager
to enforce offline mode at startup and to force the installation
of the security manager (for those who need it). The offline mode
will still allow you to connect to "localhost".
* [BUG] PRD-2308: We now ignore trailing semicolons (and only a single
traling semicolon) when a formula is parsed. This fixes a issue with
old PRD formulas where the beast would always add a semicolon to the
formula, although this was invalid in the first place.
* [BUG] PRD-2307: JDBC Statements were never closed explicitly.
Now we close the statement as soon as the resultset is closed. If
the result-set-tablemodel mode is "simple", the statement and
resultset are closed as soon as the data has been copied out of
the resultset. The resultset-mode can now be configured on a
per-report basis.
* [BUG] PRD-2306: Attribute-Expressions were not inspected, as we looked
for them in the wrong spot.
* [BUG] FormulaUtil must remove the formula-context before parsing the
formula.
* [BUG] PRD-2304: PRD may open in a unusable location when working with
multiple screens and single screen configurations. We store the
location of the application window when exiting the application,
but when restoring the location on the next startup, we do not
check whether these bounds are actually valid.
* [BUG] PRD-2289: Text-Function needs to use the format string of the
second parameter. For completeness, also added the message-function
to make use of the Java-MessageFormat system.
* [BUG] PRD-2222: Field-Selector Window was to small to be usable.
* [BUG] PRD-2071: Datasource security settings must be runtime
configurable
Mondrian uses a "role" property to define the security level a user
has. There are no commonly accepted rules on where the value for
the role comes from, so we have to stay flexible by allowing the
role to come from a field (sourced from a parameter, for instance).
A similar problem set applies to JDBC user and password properties.
SQL, Mondrian and OLAP4J datasources now have a new new security
dialog to define these mappings.

12. * [BUG] Removed the creepy "tuning" of JNDI names by searching for a
backslash. If you dont want a backslash in your name, then dont
specify it. "Auto-Correction" of user input is way to close to
rewrite-on-publish functionality for me to feel compfortable.
* [BUG] PRD-2291: Excel import failued due to NegativeArraySizeException,
if we encountered row-records without cells.
* [BUG] PRD-2287: Fixed a age-old issue with subreports. This also
affects
reports in PRD 1.7, 2.0 and 3.0.
Reports with nested subreports sometimes affected the 'advanced' flag
and thus tricked their parent reports into thinking that the end of
the report has been reached. The report then skipped all subsequent
content except the report-footers.
* [BUG] Tab-naming in PRD did not take the bundle's properties into
account.
* [BUG] Fixed some coding errors in the CloseableTabbedPane. It did not
override the "insertTab" method that really handles the tab-adding
and thus ran into troubles if any of the other addTab methods were
used. The implementation also always assumed that all icons were
CloseTabIcons, but this is not true in all cases.
* [BUG] PRD-2285: Unable to delete String-styles or string-properties by
setting an empty string.
* [BUG] PRD-1876: Inline-Editors must stop editing when they loose focus.
* [BUG] PRD-2265: The static sheetname was not read in on parsing reports
and thus was always empty.
* [BUG] PRD-2219 Unable to run a parameterized report on the BI server.
however, it work in RD.
Numeric parameter values were validated using an overly strict
algorithm
which rejects values based on their class-type, even if they had the
same numeric value.
* [BUG] LibFormula: Use compareTo(..) method to compare big-decimals,
as it does not create an extra big-decimal instance.
* [BUG] PRD-2006: Stacked-XY-Chart (non-timeseries) failed.
* [BUG] PRD-2031: OpenFromRepository can now only open valid files. The
dialog's confirm-action wont allow illegal files or the selection
of folders anymore.
* [BUG] PRD-2261: Data-XML and Data-CSV outputs were broken due to a
classcast-exception
* [BUG] PRD-2249: No data-band was printed before the details-header
band.
Swapping the no-databand and details-header printing fixed this bug.
* [BUG] PRD-2251: Master-Report's style- and attribute-expressions were
never evaluated.
* [BUG] PRD-2260: DocumentMetaData function is very verbose.
* [BUG] PRD-2033: Fatal layouter errors no longer kill the UI-thread.

13. The reports are nonetheless unlayoutable, but at least the user can
now safely recover from the error and gets a sensible error message
explaining the issue.
* [BUG] Array-Editor dialog now follows the standard layout for
table/list
dialogs.
* [BUG] PRD-2209: Was unable to delete more than one parameter when using
the
context-menu of the data-structure-tree. Now lets get rid of the
DeleteParameterAction and use the ordinary DeleteAction for it.
* [BUG] PRD-2206: Implemented a new PageSetup-Dialog that is independent
of the printing subsystem. If you really want to go back to the old
way, you can reenable it in the configuration.
* [BUG] PRD-2247: Loading the bundle (for getting the metadata) failed.
Therefore no metadata was available in the report.
* [BUG] Added translations for report-pre-processors
* [BUG] PRD-2245: Parameter-expansion fixed for callable statements.
* [BUG] PRD-2246: Callable statements should not have parameter-
expansion for array-parameters
* [BUG] PRD-2242: add of InvalidFunctionCategory class to be used with
DefaultFunctionDescription when a problem occurs while loading
function category class
* [BUG] PRD-2236: Not all buttons had a tooltip. This made it hard to
tell what those funny pictures in the various dialogs actually
do. All actions now have a short-description property set.
* [BUG] Kettle and Mondrian: Browse-Dialog must use the parent-dialog
and not the parent's parent dialog as parent.
* [BUG] PRD-2239: move of DivideOperator.divide() to a more findable
class
(NumberUtil class). It is also remove a dependecy between the packages
'function' and 'operator'.
* [BUG] PRD-2243: Missing metadata for NormalizeArray formula function
* [BUG] CSVTEXT description was incorrect.
* [BUG] PRD-2233: Raw-Images are now stored as deflated bitmap data.
This makes the PDF a bit smaller.
* [BUG] PRD-2231: URLs given as strings are now correctly loaded when
used in a image-element or image-field.
* [BUG] PRD-1709: Edit-Groups changed to match mock-up.
* [BUG] PRD-2056: Metadata was wrong for lineTickLabelFormat property.
* [BUG] PRD-2230: Subreports with pre-processors (includes charts and
wizard-aggregation) did not activate the pre-processor if the initial
visibility was set to false.
* [BUG] ExpressionEditorPane: Opening a dialog without passing the
parent is a receipe for disaster later down the road.

14. * [BUG] PRD-1988: Some work towards a better list-UI. The modified UI
now behaves less weird with multi-selections and uses the same
mouse-operations as any other JList one encounters in the UI.
* [BUG] PRD-2220: Resource-Writer fixed. Images added in banded
subreports were not correctly serialized into bundle-files. This
sometimes corrupted the files.
* [BUG] PRD-2216: ValueFunction: wrong FunctionCategory was returned
* [BUG] PRD-2210: PublishSetting-defaults are now only stored in the
configuration. Use "report-designer.properties" in a suitable
location to override the defaults.
* [BUG] We now use hovering buttons to keep the clean appearance
of the UI, while at the same time giving the user feedback that the
funny pictures are actually buttons that can be pressed.
* [BUG] Chart-Expression's isItemsLabelVisible for a java.lang.Boolean
object confuses the Bean-Inspector. Make it a "getItemsLabelVisible"
or parsing the XML files fails.
* [BUG] PRD-1702: The property-editor-dialog had no title. Nowe we set
a generic title for the property-editor-dialog.
* [BUG] OLAP4J: Removed the catalog-file-textfield, as it interferes
with the properties defined in the connection itself.
* [BUG] Connection-Definitions in the JDBC and Mondrian datasource
editor were not removed until we called flush on the parent.
* [BUG] Fixing the error-reporting of the JDBC dialog to use the
standard Exception-Dialog.
* [BUG] Filtered out the INFORMATION_SCHEMA of HSQL, as this schema-
selection
dialog starts to anoy me.
* [BUG] PRD-537: Changes to the Unit did not trigger a repaint in the
lineals.
* [BUG] PRE-533: A empty formula no longer causes parse-errors. If
neither class nor formula are given, we create a empty formula-
expression instead.
* [BUG] PRD-2067: To make mondrian cache the schema, we have to make
sure we always pass the very same instance of the DataSource to
Mondrian, as Mondrian uses the system-identity hashcode for caching
purposes.
We now actively cache the datasource-objects that were returned from
the JNDI system and actively cache the datasources that were created
manually.
* [BUG] LibRepository: Fixing a stack-overflow caused by a looping data
structure. Instead of comparing the bundle-key, which contains a
reference to the bundle-loader, we now compare the underlying
repository, which is equally correct.
* [BUG] PRD-1939: ItemLabelVisible flag is now a tri-state between
true, false and undefined. This way, we can have a sensible default
behaviour that is different for each chart-type even when switching
between chart-types in the editor.

15. * [BUG] PRD-2202: Named-Parameters for Kettle-Datasources was broken.
* [BUG] PRD-1986: Added some minimum-sizing so that text-fields dont
look so horrible anymore.
* [BUG] PRD-2072: Caching was not working correctly for loaded
resources causing numerous stale entries in the cache.
* [BUG] Mnemonics and keystrokes are no longer mandatory. If the
translation
contains an empty string, we just skip that part.
* [BUG] PRD-2073: Reworked the Date-Input so that the text-field is
actually
used for monitoring changes. Also cleaned up the UI so that we now
use buttons for what is used as buttons (as labels are not accessible
via keyboard).
Fixed the date-chooser-panel so that the today-button also fires a
property-change event.
* [BUG] PRD-2076: Disabled metadata defaults for Mondrian and OLAP4J, as
it
is fairly uncommon to have a formatstring-property in a query. This
change only affects the defaults created by PRD, you can still
enable metadata handling by setting the flags to true in the
element's attributes.
* [BUG] PRE-531: Quote-handling inside references was wrong. Quotes were
not
safely stripped off.
* [BUG] PRD-2070: Report-Designer needs to pay special attention when
inserting subreports or bands, or we create invalid content.
* [BUG] PRD-2070: Metadata-parser had a bug that prevented the container-
flag
to be set.
* [BUG] Date- and NumberFields had no checks for invalid format-strings
and
thus crashed on errors.
* [BUG] PRD-2036: Report Wizard loses state when changing template from
winter
to pentaho
* [BUG] PRD-2058: Report Wizard: date formatting causes report to fail to
preview.
* [BUG] PRD-2053: Report processing failed with an IllegalStateException
as
PageFooter sections cannot be reused interally when we believe they
are empty.
* [BUG] PRD-2240: Refactoring; move of NumberSequence to its parent
package
3.5.0:
* Report-Designer was rewritten from scratch. Please refer to the JIRA
system at http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/PRD to see a list of changes
made to the Citrus-Releases.
