Release 2.7.0 update 1
Update 1 for release 2.7.0 was released today. It contains some bugfixes and small improvements – continue reading to find out the changes in the release notes. The new release is available for download on our download page.
Release candidate for 3.0 available
Today, we publish the release canidate for version 3!
The release candidate contains the new front end with all features the final release will have and some new demo reports, which demonstrate the new layout possibilities of 3.0.
In difference to our original plan, the Workbench still contains a report editor and users will be able to create and edit reports in the web front end OR in the Workbench.
Version 2.7: New backend
Today, we released version 2.7, which is a combination of the new backend from the upcoming version 3.0 and the “old” frontend from version 2.6.
We decided to release this version for migration reasons. Customers can install 2.7 and test their existing reports with the new backend without dealing with the new frontend features. The backend will not change between version 2.7 and 3.0 except bug fixes.
Version 3.0 is scheduled for release within the next few weeks. Currently we’re making the Workbench query editor compatible to the new version 3 reports – this means, in difference to our first idea, creating reports will be both avaibable in the Browser and the Workbench.
Release 2.6.2
Since today, version 2.6.2 is the latest release of instantOLAP and is available on our download page. It contains some new features (e.g. the ability to nativley parse CASE WHEN statements in SQL expressions and a new Store log viewer), several improvements like repeating table headers in PDF documents and a number of bugfixes.
Because the 2.6.2 Workbench is not compatible to previous versions, this is a real new version and no small update like the releases before.

OLAP Cube, ROLAP, MOLAP, HOLAP: How to use Stores
The built in Offline Stores in instantOLAP allow to aggregate the classical cubes fully or partwise into light speed local data stores. With Offline Stores, you can realize all modern forms of OLAP storage: ROLAP (direct access to relational databases when querying data), MOLAP (fully aggregated cubes with high performance) or HOLAP (a hybrid mixture of both).
