BIRT 2.0 Release Progress
Building 2.0 M3 release now -- resolving remaining bugs that are assigned to the M3 release. Target date was today, November 21st, but we are holding it a few days in order to address some remaining issues and ensure the quality level is high.
We will have a New and Noteworthy document that lists what will be in the M3 milestone release and this will be published on the BIRT web pages.

We are aiming for the week of December 12th for the BIRT 2.0 Release Review meeting.

Zend, PHP and BIRT
The BIRT team have been working with Zend (www.zend.com), the organization behind PHP, to see if we can enable PHP developers to easily access the benefits of BIRT reports in the context of a PHP application. There is a lot of interest here from the PHP guys and we are working on a joint effort to allow BIRT reports to be run directly from PHP.
