Drag-and-drop charts and cross-tabs
New drag-and-drop charts and cross-tabs introduce intelligent charting and
cross-tab design by letting Crystal Reports automatically create a chart or
cross-tab that is based on the data in your report. Chart and cross-tab design
is now faster and easier.
Update patch installation
This new feature is similar to Windows Update in that it allows you to stay
current with the latest updates to Crystal Reports.
Enhanced report viewer
The resizable group tree improves report viewing for long group names, and
the toolbar has been updated to be more consistent across viewers.

server-side printing, as well as the ability to configure subreports as if they
were full Crystal reports.

own code within Crystal Reports.
