Lane Cove, Australia, December 08, 2016 --(PR.com)-- What's New in this Release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 16.11.0. This month’s release includes support for linking a task’s predecessor to external project. It also brings several improvements to the API by fixing bugs that were reported with the previous version of the API. Aspose.Tasks for .NET already supports linking a project’s task to external project. This release provides support for task’s predecessor information linked to external project in MPP file. This was implemented for XML project data format but was not supported for any version of MSP’s MPP Format. Support for this feature will enable MSP files to retain information related to external task such as source location and task identifier. As always, Aspose team always try to bring improvement to the API functionality when it comes to performance while working with MPP/XML format files. Specifically, Aspose team has come across scenarios in past where recalculation takes lot of time in case there are large number of tasks in a project. This month’s release addresses one such concern where project recalculation took more than expected time. This has resulted in improved performance after the fixing of this problem. This month’s release also fixes several bugs related to API functionality that were reported by our valued customers. This further brings improvement to the overall API stability and expected behavior. This release includes plenty of new features as listed below:

• Add support for saving Tsk.ExternalTask and Tsk.ExternalTaskProject properties to MPP format.
• Custom attribute lookup not selected in MSP, hence no dropdown available for it
• Predecessor information to External Task changed to local
• Resource assignment takes long time to accomplish
• TaskLink not followed while saving project as MPP
• Loading and Saving Project file with large number of tasks takes long time
• Extended attribute value cannot be read from MPP file
• Wrong split task data saved to MPP
• Custom field with custom values in dropdown cannot be retrieved from MPP
• PhysicalPercentComplete not saved in MPP file

Other most recent bug fixes are also included in this release
