Update Improve accuracy of reading and writing the `ProjectProperties` Relationship Lag Calendar attribute for PMXML files. joniles
Update All P6 scheduling and leveling options which were previously made available via the `ProjectProperties` custom properties map are now deprecated. These properties now have individual getter and setter methods available on the `ProjectProperties` class. Note: this may be a breaking change if you were creating schedules from scratch, populating the custom properties map, then writing PMXML or XER files. In this case you will need to update your code, for all other use cases your code will continue to work unchanged until the next major version of MPXJ. joniles
Update Added support for reading and writing the `ProjectProperties` attributes Baseline Type Name, Baseline Type Unique ID, and Last Baseline Update Date for baseline projects in PMXML files. joniles

Type Changes By
Update Add the `UnitOfMeasure` class to represent the unit of measure for a material resource. The unit of measure corresponds to the current "material label" attribute of a resource. The `Resource.getMaterialLabel()` method will now retrieve the label from the `UnitOfMeasure` instance associated with the resource.

The current default behavior of ignoring data type parse errors is unchanged. Calling `setIgnoreErrors(false)` on one of these reader classes will ensure that an exception is raised when a data type parse error is encountered. joniles
Update Added the `ProjectFile.getIgnoredErrors()` method. The default behavior for MPXJ reader classes is to ignore data type parse errors. If any errors have been ignored when reading a schedule, details of these errors can be retrieved by calling the `ProjectFile.getIgnoredErrors()` method. joniles
Update Handle duplicate relation unique IDs when reading schedules. joniles
Update Include resource availability table in JSON output. joniles
Update Add the Resource field Default Units, and ensure this field is read and written for P6 Schedules. joniles

To retrieve the Available From attribute for a different date, use the `AvailabilityTable.availableFrom()` method. joniles
Update 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. joniles
Update 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. To retrieve the Available To attribute for a different date, use the `AvailabilityTable.availableTo()` method. joniles
Update Marked the `Resource.setAvailableTo()` method as deprecated. The Available To attribute is derived from the resource's availability table. Changes to the Available To attribute should now be made by modifying the availability table. joniles

Update The `ProjectFile.getUserDefinedFields()` method has been added to provide access to all user defined fields defined in the project. joniles
Update The `CustomFieldContainer` returned by `ProjectFile.getCustomFields()` will contain entries for all `UserDefinedField` instances. joniles
Update The various `getFieldTypeByAlias` and `getFieldByAlias` methods will retrieve user defined fields by name. joniles

Update Updated the `getPopulatedFields` methods to return a `Set` of `FieldType` rather than a `Set` of `TaskField`, `ResourceField` etc. joniles
Update The various `getPopulatedFields` methods will include instances of `UserDefinedField` in the returned collection if relevant. joniles
Update All `ENTERPRISE_CUSTOM_FIELDn` values have been removed from the `TaskField`, `ResourceField`, `AssignmentField` and `ProjectField` enumerations. joniles
Update The `getEnterpriseCustomField` and `setEnterpriseCustomField` methods have been removed from `ProjectProperties`, Task`, `Resource` and `ResourceAssignment`. joniles

Release 10.10.0 – 2022-09-13

Type Changes By
Update Add an option to import Phoenix schedules as a flat set of tasks with separate activity codes, rather than creating a hierarchy of tasks from the activity codes. Note the default is to disable this behavior so existing functionality is unchanged. (Contributed by Christopher John) joniles
Update Add a `setProperties` method to reader classes to allow configuration to be supplied via a `Properties` instance rather than having to call setter methods. Properties passed to the `UniversalProjectReader` version of this method will be forwarded to the reader class `UniversalProjectReader` chooses to reader the supplied file. Properties for multiple reader classes can be included in the `Properties` instance, each reader class will ignore irrelevant properties. joniles
Update Added the `get` method to `Task`, `Resource`, `ResourceAssignment` and `ProjectProperties` as a replacement for the `getCurrentValue` method.

Update For P6 schedules, the `ResourceAssignment.getCostRateTable` method now takes in account any cost rate configuration details from the resource assignment when determining which table to return. joniles
Update A resource's Standard Rate, Overtime Rate and Cost per Use are now all derived from the resource's cost rate table, and not stored as attributes of the resource itself. joniles
Update The resource methods `setStandardRate`, `setOvertimeRate`, and `setCostPerUse` have been deprecated. These attributes can now only be set or updated by modifying the resource's cost rate table. joniles

Update The values for a resource's standard rate, overtime rate, and cost per use attributes are now derived from the cost rate table. The values stored on the resource itself are only used if a cost rate table for the resource is not present. joniles
