Incompatibilities

• The default vertical scrolling of the Gantt and Schedule charts is now by rows, instead of by pixels.
  • To support this feature, the return value of the IlvJScrollGanttSheet.getVerticalScrollBar method has been changed from a standard JScrollBar to an instance of the new IlvVerticalScrollBar class.
  • IlvJScrollGanttSheet.setVerticalScrollBar(JScrollBar) now throws an exception if the specified scrollbar is not an instance of IlvVerticalScrollBar.
• If you have subclassed IlvBasicTimeScaleRow, the technique for implementing your custom row's time increments has been changed:
  • You must implement the new createTimeIncrementPolicy abstract method.
  • You should remove any custom implementations of the incrementTime, previousUnitTime, and nextUnitTime methods. These methods are now implemented by IlvBasicTimeScaleRow in terms of the row's time increment policy.
• Several methods have been added to the IlvGanttModel interface to support firing GanttModelPropertyEvents and establishing adjustment sessions. These new methods are implemented for you in the IlvAbstractGanttModel base class. Therefore, you only need to implement these new methods if you have created a custom data model implementation that does not subclass IlvAbstractGanttModel:
  • addGanttModelPropertyListener
  • removeGanttModelPropertyListener
  • isAdjusting
  • setAdjusting
• IlvActivityGraphicReshapeInteractor now extends the new IlvGanttObjectInteractor base class. Because processEvent is declared final in this base class, if you have created a custom extension to IlvActivityGraphicReshapeInteractor you must now override processEventImpl instead of processEvent.
• The Gantt sheet now initializes the default IlvGanttSelectInteractor to scroll the view when dragging an activity
• The default behavior of mouse wheel scrolling in the Gantt and Schedule charts has been changed:
  • The default scrolling orientation in the Gantt sheet is now vertical, instead of horizontal.
  • Mouse wheel scrolling is now enabled by default.
• New methods have been added to the IlvActivityRenderer interface to support popup menus in the Gantt sheet: getPopupMenu and getPopupMenuName. These new methods are implemented for you in the IlvActivityGraphicRenderer base class. Therefore, you only need to implement these new methods if you have created a custom renderer implementation that does not subclass IlvActivityGraphicRenderer.
• The isUserProperty method has been added to the IlvUserPropertyHolder interface. This method is already implemented in all of the IlvGeneralXXX and IlvTableXXX data model entity classes. Therefore, you only need to implement this new method if you have created custom data model entity implementations that do not extend from these base classes.
• IlvTimeInterval.toString is now localized.
• GanttObjectSelectedFinder has been renamed to IlvGanttObjectSelectedFinder

General Changes

• New Monthly and Daily calendar views have been added to the Gantt module.
• Basic critical path computation capability has been introduced via the new IlvCriticalPathCalculator and IlvGanttModelScheduler classes.
• A complete activity and resource filtering implementation has been introduced via the new IlvBasicFilterGanttModel class.
• Popup menu support has been added to the Gantt sheet, activity graphics, constraint graphics, and the activity renderers. Popup menu support has also been added to servlets and to the JavaServer Faces components.
• Vertical scrolling of the Gantt and Schedule charts can now be done by rows, the new default mode, in addition to pixels. The new IlvVerticalScrollBar class has been introduced to support this feature.
• Mouse wheel scrolling improvements have been implemented for the Gantt sheet:
  • New APIs in IlvJScrollGanttSheet and IlvHierarchyChart allow setting the preferred direction (horizontal or vertical) for mouse wheel scrolling.
  • Pressing the SHIFT key allows you to scroll along the opposite axis.
• The Gantt data model implementation now support adjustment sessions. IlvActivityGraphicMoveInteractor and IlvActivityGraphicReshapeInteractor have been updated to establish an adjustment session during mouse gestures.
• The IlvGanttObjectInteractor class has been introduced as the base class for IlvActivityGraphicReshapeInteractor. It also serves as a good base class for creating your own custom object interactors.
• Printing support has been added to IlvResourceDataChart via the new ilog.views.schedule.print package.
• A darkerColor CSS function has been added that accepts a single Color argument and returns a darker version of it.
• In the Schedule chart, the IlvGanttSelectInteractor and IlvActivityGraphicMoveInteractor can now restrict activity movement to the horizontal (time translation) or vertical (reservation reassignment) axis.
• Finer graduations have been added to the IlvVerticalGanttGrid.
• Pressing the ESC key will now abort dragging the time scale.
• An appropriate East-West resize cursor is now set during mouse selection of the time scale's zoom range.
• The Gantt module is now able to transparently take advantage of the Jakarta Commons Lang library, if it is available in your application's classpath, to yield significanlty improved performance for textual formatting of dates and times.
• User-defined activity date properties are now written to SDXL files in the same format as the predefined activity start and end time attributes.
• Duration properties now have a default editor registered for XML input/output.
• Post order activity and resource iterators have been added to IlvGanttModelUtil.
• Additional BeanInfo classes have been added to avoid unnecessary lookup and introspection.
• A generic data property has been added to the Gantt and Schedule JavaServer Faces view components.
• JavaServer Faces interactors have a new context property that allows the action to be executed in the JSF lifecycle context or in the image servlet context.
