What's new in GanttProject 2.5?
from Google Code HostingGanttProject 2.5, code name "Praha" (which is a capital of Czech Republic and very beautiful city), is basically a major overhaul of many features which were published in GanttProject 2.0. Many of them didn't really work or became stale, like it happened to MS Project import/export. Some suffered from counter-intuitive or simply rugged UI. So, a short list:
- Lots of project calendar, timeline and chart improvements: timeline itself is less cluttered and can show months in the bottom row; task end date is the date when a task finishes, not the next day; weekend scheduling option; ability to change weekends without creating a new project; custom date format; ability to move the whole project forward and backward
- Export functions update: data columns are exported/printed; date range for the exported charts; Microsoft Project 2010 files are supported
- Collaboration: major WebDAV bugfixes (HTTPS should work fine from now on!); warnings when file is modified externally (e.g. by some other guy writing the same file)
- UI updates: face-lifting of the settings and task properties dialogs; new toolbar with bigger and nicer icons and a search box; new custom columns manager
- Crash recovery: UI for recovering auto-saved project snapshots; error notification bubble makes easy to view the error log
