Would you have an enhancement list of RB going all the way from Version 6 to Version 9? Also it appears that RB is not supported anymore for Delphi 5 is that right?
Below is a list of the major enhancements for ReportBuilder 9. If you take a look at the Announcements newsgroup you can find lists of all the enhancements that have been made since RB 5.
Digital Metaphors only has the resources to support the latest 3 versions of Delphi. With each version the VCL has internal modifications that make it difficult to port the code backwards and get it working. That is why there is no RB Server Edition for D5. The number of customers using D5 is now quite small, with many of those looking to update to D2005.
