forena 7.x-4.0-alpha6

7.x-4.0 contains significant api changes. Although reports written in 7.x-3.x versions should work the same in 7.x-4.0, changes to the security model have been made.

Note that the fields tab has been replaced by clicking on the gear icons next to the first occurrence of each field. Also note that you can now use the template editors to make changes to each block.
