Changes in Detail

Auto-scheduled Fixed Duration tasks

In addition to Agile tasks and tasks with both Manual Start and Manual Finish dates defined, it is now possible to specify duration separate of work for auto-scheduled tasks, as well as tasks that have either a Manual Start or Manual Finish date set.

Documentation: Fixed Duration

Indicators for hidden tasks

A special indicator will now be displayed when a task is not visible on the chart due to insufficient permissions or the Gantt configuration, along with an explanation for why the item is hidden.

Supported Versions

Structure.Gantt 2.1 requires Structure 5.6 or above.

We support all editions of Jira (Jira Core, Jira Software, Jira Service Desk), versions 7.6 or later. Jira Data Center is supported too.

Installation and Upgrade

If you already have production data from a previous version of Structure.Gantt, please back up your database or Jira before upgrading.

Please review your Gantt configurations after upgrading to check that your settings are correct.

Known issues

Below are a few known issues and non-obvious cases.

  • If a Structure column is selected as the source for resource assignment formula, any changes made to this column after the resource list has been built will be ignored. 
  • User icons from external sites (like Gravatar) will be replaced with uniform user icons during PDF/SVG export.
  • Quick filter functionality isn't working properly with the Filter by Resource action, so it is recommended that users avoid saving filters produced by this action.

Enterprise Deployment Notes

In terms of stability and performance, this release does not bring significant changes compared to version 2.0. There are no particular special areas of interest for load testing and stress testing Structure.Gantt 2.1. We advise running the same testing procedures as you've done for previous upgrades.
