ProjectWizards sponsors Cirque du Mac 8

Posted on by

Once again this year ProjectWizards is proud to be a sponsor of Cirque du Mac at Macworld 2011!

Cirque Du Mac 8

Cirque du Mac is “the Greatest Party of the Year”. We’re going and we’d like to bring some Gantthead folks along. If you’ll be in San Francisco on the evening of Thursday, January 27 and would like to spend your night rocking out to the MacWorld All-Star Band while you watch the trapeze girl dangle from the ceiling, just send an email to party@projectwizards.net and tell us your Weapons of Choice as a Mac based Project Manager. We’ll randomly select 10 of you and provide you with a pass to attend the event as a guest of ProjectWizards. Take your chance for a beer with Dave Prior or Frank Blome!

Today we published another maintenance update for Merlin and Merlin Server. Here are the changes.

Resolved Issues in Merlin

  • In combined projects, the utilization view was not refreshing under some circumstances.
  • The resource’s cost accrual setting “at start” did produce the same result as “prorated”.
  • Start dates of linked projects were deletable via the project link inspector.
  • In Merlin Web Sharing, the default time zone was not set to GMT, which resulted in wrong creation dates of elements.
  • Fixed an issue in the licensing system for Merlin iPhone.
  • The status attribute was not selectable from within the predicate editor for elements.
  • The value for “Given Startmode” was not exported properly in CSV export.
  • Some access rights on creating project files did not set correctly.
  • The “Merlin Quick Guide” is now in French language as well.
  • Some translation issues have been fixed.

Resolved Issues in Merlin Server

  • Merlin Server brought an error message for port 7090 after some time of work.
  • Merlin did hang on saving a master project with aliases on Merlin Server files.
  • A crash could appear when all numbers of a port of a custom server were deleted.

On June 1st, we have a surprise for our American users.

Oh no, not what you might think now. It’s not the Merlin iPad software. This will come a bit later. In this case it is a very special thing just for Americans, or being a bit more global, for all North American users.

Three days… stay tuned.
