Yesterday I silently added a link in PhpReport web page:

• Version 2.0 (Beta 1) ( .tar.gz )

Lately I’ve been working on the simplification of the installation process; now it’s not necessary to download external libraries or set any special php.ini parameters, and I’ve added a database setup wizard taken from PhpReport 1.x series, which in turn was based on the one from WordPress project. So now to install PhpReport, you only have to extract the tarball, create the database and open the installation wizard from a browser to let it create the tables and initial data. More work will be needed anyway, to set up other installation methods (.deb packages, for example) and write specific instructions for different operating systems or distributions.

And this is the beginning of a release process. I will try to release new versions as I implement new features, giving priority to those listed in the TODO file, and provide update paths between them (unlikely at the moment, but it could happen in the future). And now I’ve mentioned the TODO, it lists the changes I consider essential to release a final, stable 2.0 version. Any volunteers? 😀
