I do not know may be my impression, but it seems that at least the level of availability of versions for VS are not very speedy.

Versions of which tool, Crystal or ReportViewer?<br />
<br />
Crystal will release a version for each new version of VS. &nbsp;They have untied it from the VS release so they aren't under the pressure for MS on a release date. &nbsp;Also it gives them time to respond to last minute changes in VS.<br />
<br />
Because of the way the are handling the Crystal for VS, they release a Service Pack (SP) to their .Net version or Version for Visual Studio to do the update for the new version of VS.<br />
<br />
They are not releasing an SDK for the full versions so they are free to update them as they see fit.<br />

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
