.. _report-declaration:
Report declaration
==================
.. versionadded:: 7.1
Before version 7.1, report declaration could be done in two different ways:
either via a ``<report>`` tag in XML, or via such a tag and a class
instanciation in a Python module. Instanciating a class in a Python module was
necessary when a custom parser was used.
In version 7.1, the recommended way to register a report is to use only the
``<report>`` XML tag. The tag can now support an additional ``parser``
attribute. The value for that attibute must be a fully-qualified class name,
without the leading ``openerp.addons.`` namespace.
.. note::
The rational to deprecate the manual class instanciation is to make all
reports visible in the database, have a unique way to declare reports
instead of two, and remove the need to maintain a registry of reports in
memory.
