What's new in KReport & KProperty & Predicate

Tue Apr 21 08:33:59 BST 2015

Hi
Update: 2.9.3 Tagging is set to April 25th, and I am planning to drag
some fixes to Kexi by that date.
I encourage you to join this effort this week by testing and reporting
any issues. Even small notes are helpful, especially if there's an
easy fix :)

This means less work on the porting side until 26th.
