Version 0.3 on the way

As we continue working to prepare version 0.3 for release, we have decided to post a few screenshots of v0.3 in action. The biggest difference in v0.3 is that the user interface is now more complete and the overall look has been improved. The most important new feature we have added is printing - yes, you can now print the tab you are looking at! Most tabs provide two options: print the list/table displayed at the top of the tab or else print more detailed information about the currently selected activitiy or milestone etc. The printed document is a correctly formatted page and not just an ugly snapshot of what you see on the screen.

Apart from everything finally being lined up correctly, the activity and milestone entries in the Activities table, see Fig.1, now inform the user if there is problem scheduling the item or if its on the critical path. Soon we will be updating the Gantt chart to provide the same information.

Fig.2 Dashboard

The dashboard's tables now also look better and we've added in an "=" sign to indicate when a project or resource is meeting, but not exceeding targets. Finally, heres a screenshot, in Fig.3, of a simple Gantt chart. Expect to see several new features being added to the Gantt chart for V0.4.

As always, we are interested in getting feedback from users so if you are brave, try out V0.3 when its release (later next week) and send us some feedback. What features are most important to you?
