RAA - ruport/1.2.0

We provide a solid data model that can be easily hooked up to a number of sources, including CSV files, ActiveRecord models, and raw SQL connections through DBI.

We also provide an insanely easy to extend formatting system which provides a consistent interface as well as a set of helper functions for a number of output types (HTML, PDF, CSV, and plain text).

On top of that, Ruport offers a bunch of little tools to tie things together and help you be more productively lazy. This includes a high level report interface, as well as a code generator (rope) that will help lay out a project for you and do other cool things like generate boilerplate code and tests when needed.

We're not aiming to be a comprehensive reporting solution, our primary goal is to make reporting applications easier to build in Ruby, not build them for you. That having been said, you can find things like basic support for graphing and invoices in our ruport-util package. This is likely going to take a little while to build up and stabilize, but it should be a good way to add higher level functionality to your Ruport projects as time goes on.
