GanttProject is 5!

On January 29, 2003, Alexandre Thomas created GanttProject on SourceForge portal. Today is the 5th anniversary. I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved in GanttProject development and community for these 5 years. We hope that you love to use our product as much as we love to write it!

Using GanttProject in the business of translating

Demid Tishin wrote a blog post about the successful adopting of GanttProject in their translation agency
His post is in Russian (so far) but Google Translate may help to English-speaking audience with a (somewhat) funny translation. You might as well ask Demid to translate it :), using English version of his web site

Gantta Claus is here with GanttProject 2.0.6!

GanttProject 2.0.6 was released a few days ago, on December 17. You are welcome to download and use it!

http://ganttproject.biz/download.php

GanttProject 2.0.6 is a maintenance release that integrates better with Windows and MacOSX and fixes a couple of severe bugs and a few UI quirks.

New features

• Windows installer can associate Microsoft Project files with GanttProject. It makes easier the life of those who don't have MS Project on their machines but want to view .mpp and .mpx files using GanttProject. The option in installer is turned off by default. If turned on during installation, it will associate .mpp and .mpx files with GanttProject so that GP starts when you double click such file and imports it
• MacOSX application now handles "About" and "Quit" system menu commands correctly and also creates file associations with .gan files

Bugfixes

The following bugs were fixed in GanttProject 2.0.6:

• [1064213] Incorrect removal of dependencies
• [1449913] Unindent of multiple subtasks causes task order to reverse
• [1496629] Failures if all days are weekends
• [1699369] Duration of 0 days breaks a task
• [1755404] Chart discarded after canceling "Save" dialog box

• [1833302] Error on adding a new custom column
• Chart is not updated on task duration change
• Significant problems with values of resource custom fields and positions of columns in resource table

Localization

• Fixed problems with Slovenian translation (wrong names of months and days of week)

ganttproject.org has been squatted

Unfortunately we have lost ganttproject.org domain name. Because of our sluggishness it was squatted by unknown friends and now is available for sale and is serving ads. In fact, it is just search spam now. I am not going to take any actions to get it back. ganttproject.biz is our main site from now on, and .org suffix will be removed whenever it occurs next to GanttProject
