Jumptree V1.1 is released today on 1/1/2008

Dear Jumptree users:

Maybe we are just a tiny bit superstitious :), but it just seemed like the best day to release v1.1 is on 1/1 :) , so thanks again for your understanding and today, we are proud to present you with the immediate availability of Jumptree V1.1 for download. 

As we have announced before, v1.1 is a free upgrade to all v1.0 purchased users, such, please log into our customer portal and you will find the v1.1 release file there for download.

Other than the v1.1 features and the screen-shots that I've already showed in the previous post, I want to point that the installer has been upgraded to ease your migration from v1.0 to v1.1 as well. Simply choose "Upgrade from v1.0 to v1.1" and you will be good to go. Here is a screen shot of the new installer.



Of course, the first thing you have to is to delete the old v1.0 files and replace them with the new v1.1 files. Here is what you need to do in 4 simple steps.

1. Delete All existing v1.0 files Except

Directory :   /App_Data/
Files :          PMAppSetting.config,  PMDBConnection.config, PMEmailSMTP.config

2. Copy all v1.1 files over except the above mentioned config files and the App_Data folder
3. Copy v1.1  /App_Data/SqlScripts/ folder to your exisiting /App_Data/ directory
4. Lastly, launch your installer at  http://[your url]/setup/default.aspx

Feature wise, to further improve your experience, our designer Jackson Lin has added special CSS for printing purposes and here is a snap shot of the task detail in "Print Preview".

 

Now, you have no excuses to not bring them along to your weekly meetings :)

In addition, Jumptree now supports the inputs and displays of all languages. Here is a screen shot of the word "Hello!" in 9 different languages.



In the previous edition, some of our Non-English customers (mainly French users and Chinese users) pointed out that their native characters became garbage questions marks and it was a great concern to them. Such it is our pleasure to finally provide the support for it.

Some of the Chinese readers might have already noticed that the names are displayed in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, so yes, because it's UTF-8 encoded, both characters can co-exists without any special treatment.

In v1.0, some project managers complained that by viewing project details, there were many tasks missing due to the fact that there were tasks not attached to milestones and such were missing in project detail, we're glad to have fixed this issue and present you with a complete one-page view of your project in its entirety.  (Notice, now we displays "tasks with no milestones" in a grid of its own)




Okay, these are just some of the highlights in V1.1 in addition to the ones that I've described in the previous post.  There are many other small usability improvements throughout the software in this version and we are sure when you get it, you'll quickly find out. 

Thank you
