Features for different editions?

edited 6:18PM in FastReport 3.0
Can you tell me more about the features included with each version of FastReport 3.0?

I saw the following post, but I am more curious to find out "what" is in the Pro and Enterprise editions to understand them better...
wrote:
basic: no run-time designer, no scripts, no dialog forms, no sources (users of FR2.x get this version for free)
std: no run-time designer, no sources (users of FR2.x who also bought FastScript get this version for free)
pro: no sources
ee: everything included

Thanks,
--Raymond

    I think the quoted text was clear enough.

    Alex,

    OK, I was only wondering if there were any other features involved... I am sure looking forward to 3.0!!! ;)

    Sorry if I offended, it was not my intention.

    I am especially looking forward to the native support for Dot Matrix printing... as you already know ;)

    Thanks much,
    --Raymond

    Alex,

    Thanks!!! That list was exactly what I wanted to know!

    I am very glad to see that the Dot Matrix support is in the "Core" support... this is still very important for many companies producing large financial, or plant production reports and labels!!!

    I can't wait to see and hear more!!! ;)

    Thanks again,
    --Raymond

    Hi AlexTZ
    I saw the list of the new features, but just want to confirm if the PictureView was fixed.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
