Reporting is pretty basic in AccuRev. Here’s a simple tool for Windows you can try (this site would not allow zipped uploads). It’s a beta, feedback is welcome.

Excerpt from the README file:

WHAT IS ‘RELEASOR’?
Releasor (short for Release Notes Generator) is a simple reporting tool for AccuRev.

It basically answers the question “what Issues have been addressed in stream S between times t1 and t2?”

(A future version will also allow for difference reporting between arbitrary streams)

The resulting report is presented either as HTML or as a tab-separated text file, suitable for Excel.

Releasor was created by tomas.lundstrom@readsoft.com

SYSTEM PREREQUISITES
* Windows XP/2003 (Vista not tested)
* .NET Framework 2.0 installed
* AccuRev 4.x.x installed
* accurev.exe must be in the path
* Minimum 1280 x 1024 desktop resolution

LIMITATIONS
* Report format is Issues only (even though the preview can be viewed as transactions and files as well)
* Preview fields are hardcoded at this time
* Releasor does not log in to AccuRev on its own, so there must exist a valid Accurev session.
* Help is limited to a few tool tips.
* Error handling/recovery is not complete
* Requires the default field ‘shortDescription’ to be present in the Schema
