  • Updated the Resource attribute Available From to ensure that this is calculated from the resource's availability table. Note that the Resource.getAvailableFrom() method will return the resource's Available From attribute for the current date. To retrieve the Available From attribute for a different date, use the AvailabilityTable.availableFrom() method.
  • Marked the Resource.setAvailableFrom() method as deprecated. The Available From attribute is derived from the resource's availability table. Changes to the Available From attribute should now be made by modifying the availability table.
  • Updated the Resource attribute Available To to ensure that this is calculated from the resource's availability table. Note that the Resource.getAvailableTo() method will return the resource's Available To attribute for the current date.

  • Don't write zero rates to JSON files.
  • Introduced a separator into rate values when written to a JSON file to make it clear that the value is a rate not a duration (for example: 5.00h is now 5.00/h).
  • When writing an enum value of a JSON file, ensure we write the original enum name rather than the value return by toString. This provides more meaningful output (Potentially breaking change if you use the Ruby gem or consume the JSON output directly. Affected attributes are project properties: currency symbol position, time format, date format, bar text date format, schedule from, mpx file version; resource attribute: type).
  • Ensure invalid cost rate table data is handled gracefully when reading from MSPDI files.
  • Handle missing data when reading MSPDI files (based on a contribution by Lord Helmchen).

  • Don't attempt to set the critical flag when reading XER and PMXML files where the schedule is using "longest path" to determine critical activities. (MPXJ currently doesn't have enough information to be able to determine the correct value for the critical flag in this situation).
  • Ensure cost, duration, date and work attributes are rolled up to WBS entries for P6 schedules read from PMXML files, XER files and P6 databases.
  • Populate baseline cost, duration, finish, start and work when reading from XER files, PMXML files and P6 databases where the "Project Baseline" has been set to "Current Project".
