What's New:
ReportMill 8 has been updated to Java 1.4 and has numerous enhancements which make it smaller, faster, easier to use and more feature rich. The ReportMill jar is now available in engine-only form, which is less than 900k, and the full version, complete with the design application, is only 1.6 MB. The new version also generates PDF up to 30% faster with up to 40% less memory.
ReportMill 8 also has a completely new 3D graphing engine, which supports graphing from any angle with interactive rotation, scaling and perspective. The table generation code has also been rewritten for this release and the new code is faster, more memory efficient and offers a new "Running Summary" feature which allows for "in-progress" summary rows and "Page summaries".
There are many other new features as well, including support of transparency in PDF generation and support for viewing multiple pages simultaneously in the same editor window.

Requirements:
Java 1.4 or later.
