1. Enhanced 2008 Support – We’ve enhanced the core engine and components to operate on and against Microsoft Server 2008 32 and 64 bit, as well as improved support for using SQL 2008 as a back end database repository.
2. New Dynamic User Interface – We’ve overhauled our user interface to make it easier and faster to interact, mine, review raw data, and create actions on extremely large datasets. No more waiting on indexing to organize paged views after data collection has completed!
3. New Report Features – Fusion Charts have been upgraded with the newest version. Charts offer new and improved colors, display, mouse-over labels, animation, and control capabilities.
   • New Chart Types – In addition to the 4 original chart types, 7 new chart types have been introduced to display in 3D, Stacked, Area, Doughnut, and Scrolling style formats.
   • New Interactive Table Types – New grid-style layouts allow table-based reports to support more data than ever before. Interactive tables can be searched, filtered, and grouped after being published.
4. New License Keys Required – New and improved product protection requires a new license key file. License keys still look the same, are dropped into the console in the same way, and are backwards compatible with older versions.
