• Translation updates. GP 2.7 is translated to Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, and we have a brand new Latvian translation from Sanita Armane
• Public holidays calendars update: we added US and French calendars for years 2008-2016, converted from calendars published on officeholidays.com

You can download GanttProject 2.7 RC II from its page on ganttproject.biz. We have installer for Windows, package for Ubuntu Linux (and other deb-based) and platform-independent ZIP archive. Mac OSX image is not yet ready.

I am on winter holidays until Jan 12, so the release build of GanttProject 2.7 is expected somewhere mid-January. It is not going to be significantly different: we may have a few more translations and calendars and maybe a couple of bugfixes. 

Happy New Year, everyone, and stay with us in 2015!
