As I work on the 7.x-2.x version of forena, which is undergoing some considerable user interface adjustments, I will post comments to this issue to let people know about special installation instructions and changes to the Dev branch. If you are working with the 7.x-2.x dev snapshot, you might want to subscribe to this issue so that you can understand where we are on the road map.

The release notes will be used to keep track of lists of features that are being actively developed.

Just pushed up a snapshot that verfiies the ability to define repositories on the fly and create reports. Snapshots prior to today were broken severely in this regard. Not all the UI has been developed for data providers that need more than a connection uri.

How to correctly put/install latest snapshot. Probably I did something wrong.

I did following:
1) delete old Forena directory in /sites/all/modules
2) extracted latest snapshot there
3) run update.php - got nothing to update
4) went to /admin/config/content/forena and saved configuration

I got success message and error message, the same like http://drupal.org/node/1440964

My reports was broken - My reports list empty. Cannot create new - data block field in data form/tab does not show up anything.
And I was not able to restore them.
The single thing that was improved - I can get to display admin/config/content/forena/data.

Yes, it looks like I still have a bug in the update.php scripts for changing the schema from 7.x-1. To work around that:

1.) Disable the module in modules list,
2.) Uninstall the module
3.) Enable the module in modules list.
4.) Save your configuration settings.

We shouldn't need to do this every time, but this will correct your database schema for some recent work that was done..

The only thing I would add to your normal process is to clear all caches under Configuration->Performance.

New version pushed that includes language specific reports support. Will require update.php to be run to add new fields to database.

Latest version includes a new user interface for defining custom data connnections and data repositories for .sql files without having to hack in your settings.php files.
