  • 0071732: [Report engine library] make formal parameter ‘const’

  • 0071725: [General] New data source relation system: DATA RELATIONS now is much better supported general feature. It is useful for SQL and Item Model data sources WARNING! The reports that apply the old subquery/relation system must be modified in this version:

          - The detail's data source must be the root parent data source
      - All fields and expressions must have its data source identifier i.e: datasource.column

      To use the new data source relation system follow these rules:

      - A data source relation can be defined by simply set "child data source" and 
        giving the parent data source id. (as usual)
      - 1 parent can have only 1 child (1 to many relation)
      - You can specify the primary key column index. If a primary key column is defined 
        for the parent data source, you can use {PK} or {ID} expression in the child data 
        source query. (This is useful only in SQL data sources)
      - If you assign a data source relation to a detail section always set the root parent 
        data source to the detail. In earlier version we had to set the last child data source, 
        but it is outdated in 2.13.
      - Use dataSourceUpdateRequest(const QString& dataSourceID, const QString& foreignKeyValue); 
        signal to handle data source updates.
      - Use !$D{datasource.isEmpty()} print when expression of a detail section to hide the empty children data
