> Binary package:

> Monoreports features:
>
> - simple layouting - if control in section is growable and will grow due
> to assigned data, engine will do layouting to make report look properly
>
> - page breaking - Monoreports engine will break or keep together report
> sections whatever is needed
>
> - generating and running reports from designer and code.
>
> - pdf export
>
> - reporting engine is not tightly coupled with gtk/cairo stuff,
> therefore it's reasonably easy to write new export backends (e.g. html,
> xls etc)
