• CSS changes in Scheduler has cut the size of Scheduler Pro's standalone CSS-bundles roughly in half. See Schedulers upgrade guide for more information
• Added basic support for recurring events, see "What's new" for more information. And be sure to try it out in the new recurrence demo (#792)
• 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)
• Added Versions feature, enabling capturing snapshots of projects together with a detailed changelog
• Localization demos updated to show up-to-date localization approach
• Event model has got new schedulingMode, effort and effortDriven fields. The fields add support for a new scheduling mode in which user provided effort gets distributed across the event duration. Please check the new effort demo to see how it works
• AjaxHelper.fetch now supports using request body to pass parameters for non-GET requests. Please check addQueryParamsToBody argument in the method documentation (#2855)
• Lots (but not all) of the not so informative object types in our TypeScript typings have been replaced with more specific types. Objects that in our JavaScript are used as maps are now declared as Record<keyType, valueType>, and for functions that accept object arguments many are replaced with anonymous type declarations, such as { foo: string, bar: number } (Partially fixed #5176)
• Added new "Nested events configuration options" Angular demo. Demo is located in examples/frameworks/angular/nested-events-configuration folder (#5188)
• While resizing the PercentBar, the owning component now trigger percentBarDragStart, percentBarDrag and percentBarDrop events. The task record is also updated in realtime triggering continuous UI updates for a nicer UX (#6146)

API CHANGES

• DEPRECATED LocaleManager.registerLocale and LocaleManager.extendLocale are deprecated. LocaleHelper.publishLocale should be used instead.
• When configuring a SchedulerPro 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
• The default value for ResourceHistogram's effortFormat was changed from 0 to 0.#, to round values to one decimal place. Previously it was not rounding at all

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)

BUG FIXES

• #5889 – Events are not rendered according to the timezone when scheduler has a timezone
• #5981 – Scrolling close to edges hides highlightEventCalendars
• #6018 – Wrong position of highlighted region when taskRecord is set
• #6020 – Highlighted task timespan height not adjusting with the height of the rows
• #6156 – eventRecord.set only works first time for preamble/postamble
• #6260 – Milestone is rendered incorrectly
• #6271 – Timeline enables eventEdit feature if any features config provided

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• Added a trackProjectModelChanges config to the ProjectModel to optionally track own changes of the ProjectModel (#5355)

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

• #6112 – Exception is thrown after rejecting a conflicting change
• #6114 – scrollEventIntoView doesn't handle nested events
• #6133 – Crash when dragging events between two schedulers
• #6142 – DST Adjustment issue adding 1h on events
• #6147 – Undo/redo adding a calendar crashes

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• The TaskEditor's Advanced tab's combos has been made wider which required some additional styling and some fields have been rearranged as well. If your app is customizing the Advanced tab, you should check that your customization still gives same result with the new default layout (#5966)

BUG FIXES

• #5925 – Adding workingTime cause the event tooltip to start from the eventBuffer start date
• #5979 – Summary on vertical mode "disappears" on double click
• #6017 – Scheduler Pro not assigning resourceId to new events
• #6019 – TypeScript Feature classes and configs have on event handlers exposed on owner class
• #6038 – Event drag copy throws with mapped fields
• #6069 – Params lost if defined in class config

BUG FIXES

• #5386 – Improved panel collapse animation when collapsed panel header is perpendicular to expanded
• #5788 – Automatic dependency setting not working after resetting events array
• #5814 – StateProvider throws during component construction
• #5904 – TypeError in Scheduler Pro on Drag/Drop event

• #5950 – Crash when resizing event being created
• #5953 – Event record disappears after changing to zero duration

API CHANGES

• The StartDateField/EndDateField fields now sets the default value of their max property to be 200 years after the project's end date, see the docs for the corresponding classes (#5779)

• #5668 – Chained resourceStores from one CrudManager works incorrect
• #5693 – Nested events drag from Grid example crashes when dragging after code edit
• #5731 – Time axis cells are recycled when making schedule area small
• #5776 – Radiobutton not circular in small popup
• #5778 – Dragging resources to the last row causes crash in group

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• We recently launched a new homepage over at bryntum.com, and have now slightly updated the styling for demos and docs to better match it (new logo, new header color, new font). Please note that this is not a change to our themes, only the look of the demos, and it won't affect your application

BUG FIXES

• #5242 – Create styling guide for Scheduler Pro
• #5564 – Crash when drag creating with task editor open
• #5595 – Fix panel collapse icon directions

BUG FIXES

• #5551 – Store allRecords includes group footers twice

API CHANGES

• DEPRECATED The behaviour of the store.data getter will be changed in 6.0. Currently, it returns the **initial** raw dataset, in 6.0 it will be changed to have the more expected behaviour of returning the data objects for the **current** state instead. See Grid's upgrade guide for more information (#5499)

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• #5406 – ResourceHistogram view fails when eventStore config is passed
• #5420 – Exception thrown when using event tree store in SchedulerPro
• #5435 – Error after call loadInlineData with resource tree structure

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• Scheduler Pro has gained built-in support for segmented events, by using the new EventSegments, EventSegmentDrag and EventSegmentResize features. The features cover splitting events to segments, rendering of such events and individual segments dragging Please check the new split-events demo to see how it works (#2975)
• A new widget, ViewPresetCombo, is available to Scheduler, SchedulerPro and Gantt. Put it in the toolbar, and it will provide easy-to-setup view switching. It uses the built-in ViewPresets functionality which is easily customized (#4539)
• Menu has a separator config to make it easier to visually separate menu items
• 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
• A new EventNonWorkingTime feature was added to Scheduler. When enabled in Scheduler Pro, the combined calendar for an event (a merge of project / resource + event calendars) is visualized by shading the parts of an event that intersects non-working time. Can be tried in the new event-non-working-time demo
• PdfExport feature is refactored to render content directly. This significantly improves performance and robustness by eliminating component scrolling. This behavior is enabled by default. You can revert to the old behavior by setting enableDirectRendering config on the export feature to false (#4449)
• ResourceHistogram has got a new generateScalePoints event that allows customizing its scale points at runtime (#5025)

API CHANGES

• EventModel has new ignoreResourceCalendar boolean field. When field is set to true the event will not take its assigned resource calendars into account and will perform according to its own calendar only (#3349)

LOCALE UPDATES

• Added localization for the new event split functionality, keys EventSegments.splitEvent and EventSegments.renameSegment

BUG FIXES

• #4096 – CalendarIntervalMixin class uses hardcoded date field formats
• #5241 – Cannot reach dependency terminals for segmented events
• #5243 – Task editor too narrow in classic themes
• #5290 – Error on triggering zoomToFit on ResourceHistogram

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• 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
• Stores now by default show a warning on console when loading records that has generated ids, as a reminder that it should be replaced by the backend on commit

BUG FIXES

• #4645 – Improve error message "Bryntum bundle included twice"
• #4654 – REACT Bryntum widget wrappers don't accept all component properties in React 18
• #5352 – Exception thrown when refreshing the data with event selected
• #5372 – Not able to remove events in Vertical mode

BUG FIXES

• #4374 – Console error if return false on preventable beforeAdd event on dependency store
• #5050 – Events are not rendered correctly after exporting to PDF
• #5170 – When first region has width and last region is collapsed, Scheduler Pro doesn't resize with container
• #5196 – Task editor in Scheduler Pro gets empty when opened too fast after closing
• #5199 – When resourceTimeRanges feature enabled description is displayed twice

BUG FIXES

• #415 – Improve docs on formatting currency values on NumberField
• #3680 – Support Salesforce Winter 22 release
• #5133 – Custom layout function scope should have a reference to the scheduler

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• 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
• 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)

BUG FIXES

• #4943 – Changing the time by dragging an event triggering an error
• #4965 – Dependency creation still working when readOnly is true
• #4968 – change event doesn't fire when canceling event editor
• #5010 – Group expanders still visible after stopping grouping
• #5017 – TypeScript Property type is missing in DataFieldConfig
• #5018 – Vue Prop Validation fails for String options
• #5028 – UI does not refresh when certain fields are changed

BUG FIXES

• #3427 – Infinite sync loop if percentDone value is incorrect
• #4963 – Undoing two scheduled nested events causes crash

FEATURES / ENHANCEMENTS

• Scheduler Pro has gained built-in support for nested events, by using a tree EventStore and the new NestedEvents feature. On display in the new nested-events-configuration and nested-events-drag-from-grid demos, as well as in the updated nested-events demo (#1519, #3564)
• Our TypeScript typings for string types that have a predefined set of alternatives was improved to only accept those alternatives. For example previously the dock config which was previously declared as dock: string is now dock : 'top'|'right'|'bottom'|'left'
• Create React App templates now available
• Configuring the crud manager functionality of the project was made a little easier by introducing shortcuts for setting load and sync urls using the new loadUrl and syncUrl configs
• Updated the built-in version of FontAwesome Free to 6.1.1
• 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)
• 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 schedulerpro.lite.umd.js bundle is no longer available
• BREAKING WebComponents has been removed from schedulerpro.module.js ES modules bundle. New bundle with WebComponents is schedulerpro.wc.module.js

BUG FIXES

We are thrilled to announce version 5.0 of our Scheduler Pro product. This release marks a big milestone for us, after more than a year of development. This update makes it much easier to combine multiple Bryntum products, and also includes lots of new demos, an EventBuffer feature (for travel time), a ResourceUtilization widget as bug fixes and other enhancements requested by our community. 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 Scheduler Pro starts displaying a popup informing users of scheduling conflicts, cycles and calendar misconfigurations. The popup allows 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)
• Scheduler Pro now performs the initial rendering of events 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 events the delayed calculations might affect your code, be sure to check out the upgrade guide (#2251)
• 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 – schedulerpro.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)
• New feature – Event Buffer – which allows visualizing things like travel time (#2822)
• 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)
• New drag-unplanned-tasks which shows how to drag tasks from an external grid, and highlighting available resource slots in the schedule while dragging
• Scheduler Pro's event rendering now uses absolute positioning instead of translation to position the event bars. This was changed to make native position: sticky work, the stickyEvents feature is now very thin and more performant (#4055)
• New ProjectModel setters/getters for assignments, dependencies, events, resourceTimeRanges, resources, timeRanges (#4043)
• New drag-unplanned-tasks which shows how to drag tasks from an external grid, and highlighting available resource slots in the schedule while dragging
• window references are replaced with globalThis which is supported in all modern browsers and across different JS environments (#4071)
• 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)
• 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 schedulerPro.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, Scheduler Pro state is stored automatically as stateful properties change (#1859) For more details, see What's new and Upgrade guide in docs

API CHANGES

• BREAKING React 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 (#2787)
• BREAKING The Engine ResourceAllocationInfo class allocation property has been changed from an Array to anObject 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
• DEPRECATED ResourceHistogram getBarTip config has been deprecated in favour of new barTooltipTemplate config Please check the upgrade guide and update your code accordingly
• DependencyModel.active field has been changed to persisted. To revert to the old behavior please override the field and set its persist config to false
• Code of drag-from-grid and similar demos have been simplified and if you have used that code in your application you should make sure to review and update your code accordingly
• The following previously deprecated Scheduler Pro configs, functions etc. where removed:
• Configs hoursPerDay, daysPerWeek, daysPerWeek from CalendarModel – previously moved to ProjectModel
• Config TaskEdit#showDeleteButtton – previously replaced by editorConfig
• Config TaskEdit#extraItems – previously replaced by items
