Hey-ho, it's 5.4!
We're so thrilled! Our newest release is finally out. We know it's been awhile since our last point release back in July, so thanks for working with us to help build a better app.
Besides a compilation of all of our sweat and tears, this hefty release includes a good list of bug fixes, a handful of improvements and a couple of new features. Without further ado, let's dig in to 5.4!
Resource Forecasting
The new and improved Resource Forecasting page will show bars only when users are assigned to steps. In the past, these bars would span across the duration of the entire project for all users assigned to that project.
A manager could not tell who specifically was assigned to which dates and who was available during specific dates. Now, project managers and project administrators can quickly see if there are gaps from unassigned days. Also, they will be able to see if there are overlaps with too many bookings on the same day.
NOTE: Since this post was published we released multiple new versions of resource forecasting features that is now the People Timeline report. Learn more here.

Other Improvements
We changed the Project Update Policy label for Dynamic project updates to say "Update project (this one time)." So much less confusing.
When creating issues and risks, your name is now added to the 'Owner' field.
When closing out an issue or risk on a step, the closed issues fall to the bottom of the list so they're out of your way.
News Feed posts now include the actual date of the post instead of saying "x number of days ago..."
The News Feed window in projects opens up to the 'Posts' section instead of the 'ALL' section.
The "(Entire Team)" option in the Person filter of the My To-do page moved to directly under your name at the top of the list so you can easily select to view all team members.
In addition, there were 35 bugs that we fixed. To view the complete list, click here.
We hope you enjoy these new updates. Don't forget to visit our Help Center and give us a shout if you need us.
Happy Holidays!
