Note: If you only download the Refresh, you may get some errors when
starting up. Run the Verify Files option in the Administrator to add the new

Fixes for different types of output
Support for Importing FRX files now directly in Import New File option.
Fix for saving cross-tabs that created an error when generating.
More fixes for cross-tabs - cross tabs should work fine now.
Fixes in Filter and Sort screens to improve performance with large data
sets.
Changes to introduce new RDI_GROUP field into data items.
Be sure to run either a verify files or a new install when installing.
Cleaned up errors when connecting to SQL Data during upgrade process.
Build 329 now only looks at the rdi_group field to show the data item
grouping option.

New Data Group Field
In Foxfire! 6.0x, we introduced the concept of Data Grouping using the Misc field. This made it easier for users to logically group their data and display it to their end-users.
In Foxfire! 8.0, a new field in the data item table exists called rdi_group, or simply Data group in the data item editor.
We'll be making it easier for developers to fill in this field with some tools after 8.0 is released but right now, when you update from an older set, you will be prompted to move anything that is in rdi_misc into rdi_group. Hopefully this should make it easier.
