      Release Notes: This release supports loading Microsoft Project Template (MPT) files which enable users to create a project from a constructor using a template as a parameter. It adds enhancements to Gantt chart rendering by providing the option to roll up Gantt bars, which marks any summary task in the project by its visible subtasks.
