Printer support in Lazarus has been improved, now printing should use
the currently selected settings even the advanced ones. Reported
paper sizes width and height are now in points (dots or pixels) at
selected resolution. Report problems (please use mantis:
http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/main_page.php, project "Lazarus").

The LazReport package has been improved with respect to handling of
papers, preview and print. There are still some known issues when
designing reports (like dissapear/appear controls, I would like to
address that next), and there are many features untested. Please
test, report problems using mantis, project "lazarus packages".
Please don't forget to state LazReport, FPC and Lazarus versions (but
better is revision).

The LazReport webpage is currently unmaintained, the package link
there is outdated and not recommended, the recommended way to obtain
LazReport is through CVS (not much time ago sourceforge changed
repository addresses, see the LazReport sourceforge project page for
details: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazreport ), later will try
to provide a source package in
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Lazarus_Projects#LazReport

Patches are welcome, please do it against CVS.

To work correctly, LazReport needs Printers4Lazarus (included with
Lazarus) package version 0.5 or what is the same: Lazarus revision
9451 or later. The best FPC version is 2.0.2, sorry there are no
daily snapshots of Latest Lazarus and FPC 2.0.2. Under FPC 2.1.1
revision 3815, I had problems when saving reports due problems with
widestring handling in xmlcfg (Couldn't find the cause and might be
fixed in the meantime) also when opening the provided example in
lazreport/samples/editor2 it might fail because a property was
removed from TDBF.

That's all about it.
