Dear developers,

Intersoft Lab team is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of ContourCube version 2.0.2 ActiveX and VCL for Borland C++ Builder.

ContourCube is a high-performance OLAP component for interactive
reporting and data analysis. It offers embeddable OLAP technology for
Windows and web applications based on relational data. Application
powered with ContourCube allows non technical users to create tons of
nice-formed screen and printable reports in minute, slice and dice,
drill down and roll up with no need of an expensive OLAP server
software.
Actually ContourCube is shipped in two editions - ActiveX and VCL for
Borland C++ Builder.

What's new in both ContourCube 2.0.2 ActiveX and VCL
----------------------------------------------------
In addition to the interactive dimension filtering by mask,
ContourCube is now featured with an interactive dimension search.
New dimension search dialog lets you easily navigate through thousands
of items in a single click. Case-sensitive, whole words matching,
continuous reversive search is at your service for every dimension in
user interface and in the program code.

Mouse and keyboard are not enough to effectively navigate in the grid.
That's why we made it possible to bring focus to the cells
programmatically. This way it became possible for you to implement
your custom complex search facilities, intended just for your
application area.

ContourCube's Multidimensional Formula language is very rich and
powerful. However, to compose various sophisticated but
frequently-used expressions for financial and other calculations may
take you a while. We decide to do it for you - for the first time,
WeightedAverage function is introduced into the Formula language.
You'll not have to compose complex formulas to calculate weighted
averages anymore - just include this function in your expression and
get the result easy.

New features in ContourCube 2.0.2 VCL
-------------------------------------
New TContourXMLDataset component makes possible to build reports from
XML data marts with almost zero programming. Reading XML locally,
through HTTP or FTP, as well as the ability of reading XML directories
makes building distributed data collecting systems easy and fast.

Yet more languages are now available in ContourCube thanks to you -
our customers: French, Russian, Slovenian, and Lithuanian are brought
to this release. What if you want to switch between languages without
restarting your entire application? ContourCube's answer is Yes - a
couple of new functions allow you to do that just at runtime.
