We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for Java 7.1.0. It brings a number of improvements to Aspose.Tasks’ project data rendering capabilities, making output closer to Microsoft Project’s (MSP) output. It also includes a number of fixes for issues reported with last month’s release. This month’s release enhances the capabilities of rendering source MPP columns to TaskUsage and ResourceUsage views. This is in addition to the other supported views Gantt chart, task sheet and resource sheet views. Aspose.Tasks already provides the capabilities to render footer elements in the output. This month’s release further improves this functionality by including the following additional information to the footer:

·         Tasks deadline rendering in a Gantt chart.

·         Tasks progress rendering in a Gantt chart.

·         Project information such as name and current date.

·         Start, finish and duration to page legend.

·         Inactive milestones, summary and manual summary roll up to Gantt chart and page legend.
