opReports 3.0.4

This version is a maintenance release, primarily fixing bugs and various usability issues; it is scheduled for release on 2 Dec 2015.

Highlights

opReports 3.0.4 now offers free licenses which are not time limited (but limited to 20 nodes).
opReports now supports optional Single-Sign-On across servers.
Report schedules by group ("Each" or specific group name) now works correctly.
In 3.0.2 such reports were incorrectly rejected by the report generator, with the log message being "no nodes or interfaces found".
A number of GUI pages were reworked for improved compatibility and usability.
The schedule editor displays better checkboxes.
Lists of nodes and groups are now sorted before display (for both scheduled and on-demand report creation).
All irrevocable operations in the GUI now require confirmation.
The new configuration option opreports_application_heading lets you change the page heading to a custom value.
Various installer improvements and minor bug fixes.

Version 3.0.2 was released on 4 Jun 2015. This is a stable, general release.

The report scheduling system is now fully manageable from the GUI (but we also retained the ability of very direct control via JSON schedule files).
Reports can now be deleted from the GUI, which also includes uncompleted reports whose generation has not been completed (due to misconfigurations for example).
opReports now offers an authorisation mechanism for reports: you can optionally designate an NMIS group, whose members are the only users allowed to see a report.
Only admin users can access the scheduling system. Non-admin users are only able to see reports they are authorised to see.
The opReports installer was improved for greater robustness.
Error reporting was improved.
Integration between command-line tool and GUI was improved.

Version 3.0 was released on 8 Apr 2015. This is a pre-release of the 3.X series of opReports; a general full release is expected to follow very soon.

A new look and feel: the GUI was completely rebuilt and now behaves like our other modern applications.
A new, flexible scheduling system: any number of repeated or one-off reports can be specified, each with their own parameters and options.
A number of new report types, both special-purpose as well as generic ones
More flexibility: there are new mechanisms for selecting nodes and interfaces, the report titles and the banners are configurable
A comfortable interactive installer: opReports now uses the Opmantek Installer for installation and upgrades.
Better archive management: You can now define how long (and where) opReports should keep particular reports (or classes of reports).
Easier archive access: The opReports GUI now keeps track of all reports (scheduled or on-demand) and provides fast access to them.
More output formats: reports can now be created in HTML (for both inline as well as standalone viewing), CSV and XLSX - all selectable.
More self-contained outputs: reports are now saved together with their metadata, which captures all parameters and inputs of a report.
Better exporting: You can now get a report in ZIP form from the GUI. The GUI also allows you to email that ZIP file to anybody.
Nicer Emails: reports can be emailed to anybody (automatically on generation), and contain all selected formats as attachments.
Easier Administration: opReports now has a self-test (for diagnosing common problems) and is much easier to configure than before.
