FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• CSS changes in Scheduler has cut the size of Gantt's standalone CSS-bundles roughly in half (because Gantt includes Schedulers styling). See Schedulers upgrade guide for more information
• Support for Time zone conversion has been added to all Bryntum scheduling products. Simply set a IANA time zone identifier as value for the timeZone config and that's it. But, since time zones is not supported natively in JavaScript we strongly recommend to read our Time zone guide (#1533)
• php demo backend was updated to handle calendar intervals.
• Selection in a Grid with a TreeStore has been improved by addition of the includeParents config. Set it to all or true to auto select a parent if all its children gets selected. If one gets deselected, the parent will also be deselected. Set it to some to select a parent if one of its children gets selected.

• Gantt Sharepoint example has been upgraded to use latest spfx version and Node 16 (#6239)

API CHANGES

• DEPRECATED LocaleManager.registerLocale and LocaleManager.extendLocale are deprecated. LocaleHelper.publishLocale should be used instead.
• When configuring a Gantt with a time zone at initialization, and there's also a startDate and/or a endDate initially, those days will be treated as in local system time zone and will therefore be converted to the configured time zone. Previously (in 5.3.0-alpha-1 and 5.3.0-beta-1) those dates was treated as in the provided time zone

LOCALE UPDATES

• Locales format and process for applying locales have been simplified
• New locales for 31 languages have been added. Currently available languages are listed in the localization guide (Guides/Customization/Localization)
• "Add dependencies" (linkTasks) and "Remove dependencies" (unlinkTasks) added to all locales for TaskMenu

• Added beforeTaskAdd event which fires when adding task from the UI (#3724)

API CHANGES

• Recently browsers have added support for Unicode 15, which changes the output of Intl.DateTimeFormat when formatting time to include AM/PM. Those browsers now use "thin space" (\u202f) instead of regular space. This affects the DateHelper.format() function, but likely you do not need to take any action in your application. It also affects DateHelper.parse(), which has been updated to support the new unicode space (#6193)

BUG FIXES

• The php demo was updated to be compatible with PHP 8.2

API CHANGES

• The filter feature of the grid will use sameDay operator, when filtering by the date field match, (will include all records with that field's value having the specified date, regardless of time). Previously it was performing the exact match, by both date and time (#5976)
• As of version 6.0, remove event will no longer be fired when moving a node in a tree store. To enable this behavior now (recommended), you can set a new fireRemoveEventForMoveAction on your tree store to false (#5371)

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• REACT React wrapper now supports React components in widgets and tooltips (#774)
• REACT New React Redux demo has been added. Demo located in examples/frameworks/react/javascript/gantt-redux folder
• The RowCopyPaste feature will now paste copied or cut row(s) *below* selected or provided reference record. Previously the documentation stated that the copied or cut row(s) would be pasted above the reference record. However, the behaviour was inconsistent and cut-paste was done above while copy-paste was done below (#4890)

• The responsive state objects used in the responsive config of the Responsive mixin now support a once property to allow configs to only be set on first activation of the state
• The Core.helper.DateHelper class has a new method formatRange method which can format date ranges, as well as new formatting options for week numbers

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• New demo drag-resources-from-utilization-panel showing how to drag resources from utilization and drop on a Gantt row to assign the resource to a task.
• New records are assigned a generated id if none is provided. The generated id is meant to be temporary (a phantom id), and should be replaced by the backend on commit. Previously the id was based on a global counter incremented with each assignment. That simplistic scheme assured no two records got the same id during a session, but if an application serialized the generated id (note, they should not) and then reloaded it, it would eventually collide with a new generated id. To prevent this, the generated ids are now based on a random UUID instead

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• An application's filters on a store may now be configured with an internal property. This indicates that they are fixed, and must not be ingested and modified by filtering UIs such as the Filter and FilterBar features (#4980)
• Configs that accept configuration options for a widget (or other class) are now (mostly) documented to accept a typed config object rather than a plain object. For example instead of {Object} tooltip - A tooltip configuration object, it is now {TooltipConfig} tooltip - A tooltip configuration object. This improves our TypeScript typings (transforms to Partial<TooltipConfig> in typings) when using such configs, but also improves our docs by linking to the configs of the type
• Gantt now supports using keyboard shortcuts for indenting and outdenting tasks. Defaults are Alt + Shift + Right for indenting, and Alt + Shift + Left for outdenting. Note that the Alt key matches the Option key on Mac Configurable with the KeyMap mixin **Guides/Customization/Keyboard shortcuts**
• Added a config to allow State Tracking Manager to ignore remote changes coming in a sync response. This allows user to only undo/redo local changes (ignoreRemoteChangesInSTM config on the ProjectModel) (#5083)

API CHANGES

• KeyMap is a mixin that allows for standardized and customizable keyboard shortcuts functionality. KeyMap is by default mixed in to Widget and therefore available to all Widget's child classes. There is a new guide **Guides/Customization/Keyboard shortcuts** describing how to customize currently integrated keyboard shortcuts (#4300, #4313, #4328)
• Added applyProjectChanges method to the Project model which allows applying changes object from another project. Projects should be isomorphic
• Project optionally allows sync() calls without local changes, to retrieve changes from the backend. Configure forceSync : true to enable this new behaviour (#4575)

API CHANGES

• BREAKING ANGULAR Angular wrappers now use the more modern module bundle by default, instead of the legacy umd bundle. Hence application imports must be changed to match. This will slightly improve application size and performance (#2786)
• BREAKING gantt.lite.umd.js bundle is no longer available
• BREAKING WebComponents has been removed from gantt.module.js ES modules bundle. New bundle with WebComponents is gantt.wc.module.js

A big thanks to our customers who helped us with testing our alpha & beta versions

You are most welcome to join us on March 16th, at 9am PST (6pm CET) for a 5.0 walkthrough webinar, demonstrating all the shiny new features Click here to register

We hope you will enjoy this release and we are looking forward to hearing your feedback of what you would like us to develop next

/ Mats Bryntse, CEO @Bryntum

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• Added a new Resource Utilization view displaying resource allocation. Please check its demo for details (#2348)
• With this release Gantt starts displaying a popup informing users of scheduling conflicts, cycles and calendar misconfigurations. The popup allows the user to pick an appropriate resolution for the case at hand. On the data level the cases are indicated by new events triggered on the project (#1264, #1265)
• Gantt now performs the initial rendering of tasks quicker than before, by rendering them using raw data prior to performing calculations. Especially on large datasets this makes it feel much snappier. Requires loading normalized data to work optimally. Depending on how much non-UI manipulating your app does on the tasks the delayed calculations might affect your code, be sure to check out the upgrade guide (#2251)
• Gantt has a new TreeGroup feature that can transform the task tree on the fly. It generates a new tree structure based on an array of field names (or functions), each entry yields a new level in the resulting tree. Check it out in the new grouping demo (#3543)
• Each product has a new "thin" JavaScript bundle. The thin bundle only contains product specific code, letting you combine multiple Bryntum products without downloading the shared code multiple times (previously only possible with custom-built bundles from sources). Find out more in the What's new guide (#2805)
• Each theme is now available in a version that only has product specific CSS in it, called a thin version. These files are name product.theme.thin.css – gantt.stockholm.thin.css for example. They are intended for using when you have multiple different bryntum products on the same page, to avoid including shared CSS multiple times Read more about it in the What's new section in docs (#3276)
• Model has a new readOnly field that is respected by UI level editing features to disallow editing records having readOnly : true. It does not directly affect the datalayer, meaning that you can still programmatically edit the records (#665)
• Manually scheduled tasks are changed to not skip non-working time for proposed start/end date values. Check the upgrade guide if you want to revert to the previous behaviour (#2326)
• Added a pinSuccessors config that allows successors to stay in place by adjusting lag when dragging a task (#3998)
• Gantt's task rendering now uses absolute positioning instead of translation to position the task bars. This was changed to match changes in Scheduler and Scheduler Pro (#4055)
• New ParentArea feature highlighting the area encapsulating all child tasks (#1290)
• New ProjectModel setters/getters for assignments, calendars, dependencies, resources, tasks, timeRanges (#4043)
• New highlight-time-spans demo showing how to visualize time spans
• New grid-regions demo showing how to place columns on the right side of the timeline
• window references are replaced with globalThis which is supported in all modern browsers and across different JS environments (#4071)
• Gantt now triggers beforeMspExport and mspExport events when MspExport feature is used (#3565)
• A new function called downloadTestCase() was added to Bryntum widgets, it is intended to simplify creating test cases for reporting issues on Bryntum's support forum. Running it collects the current value for the configs your app is using, inlines the current dataset and compiles that into a JavaScript app that is then downloaded. The app will most likely require a fair amount of manual tweaking to reproduce the issue, but we are hoping it will simplify the process for you. Run gantt.downloadTestCase() on the console in a demo to try it
• Updated FontAwesome Free to version 6, which includes some new icons sponsored by Bryntum in the charts category: https://fontawesome.com/search?m=free&c=charts-diagrams&s=solid
• When configured with a StateProvider and stateId, Gantt state is stored automatically as stateful properties change (#1859)
• You can now style CalendarIntervals by providing a cls field in their data. This makes it very easy to style non working time elements (#3255)
• WRAPPERS Gantt has a new ProjectModel framework wrapper available for React, Vue and Angular. It simplifies sharing data between multiple Bryntum components (#4877)
• ANGULAR New demo showing use of inline data. Demo located in examples/frameworks/angular/inline-data folder
• REACT New demo showing use of inline data. Demo located in examples/frameworks/react/javascript/inline-data folder
• VUE New demo showing use of inline data. Demo located in examples/frameworks/vue/javascript/inline-data folder
• VUE-3 New demo showing use of inline data. Demo located in examples/frameworks/vue-3/javascript/inline-data folder For more details, see What's new and Upgrade guide in docs

API CHANGES

• BREAKING The Engine ResourceAllocationInfo class allocation property has been changed from an Array to an Object with two properties total and byAssignments. The total property contains an array of the resource allocation intervals. And the byAssignments is a Map keeping individual assignment allocation intervals with assignments as keys and arrays of allocation intervals as values Please check Upgrade guide if your code uses that class

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• Gantt now has a minHeight of 10em by default. This assures that the Gantt will get a size even if no other sizing rules are applied for the element it is rendered to. When the default minHeight is driving the height, a warning is shown on the console to let the dev know that sizing rules are missing. The warning is not shown if a minHeight is explicitly configured (#2915)
• TYPINGS API singleton classes are correctly exported to typings (#2752)
