Foxfire! 8.0 - Build 394 

Build 394 is available in full and refreshreleases.

A variety of updates (not as many as we had originally planned for) but lots of fixes including:

1. Disabling and better warnings when users attempt to do things that may cause problems (such as sorting by more than 15 items) or hiding something that isn't shown.

2. The Report a Problem/Suggestion dialog now automatically includes the request definition for easier understandability. You can also access the Report feature from the Help menu.

3. When users modify the layout, the user is warned when they attempt to make changes to things that will not appear properly in the preview area.

4. Reports now automatically switch from portrait to landscape when set to do so.

5. New visual look to the Startup screen.

6. Data dictionary now uses drop-downs for commonly used items.

7. Most Dialogs now position themselves relative to where they were pressed.

8. Fixes for color output and report layouts.

9. Clicking Print now works as expected.

Buld 395 will be focusing on upgrading older installations so users who are having problems with those areas please send us an email at support@foxfirereporting.com.

Thanks
