Merlin 2.8 is released

Today we released Merlin 2.8. Beside the compatibility to Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”, we’ve added a few, but interesting features. Now you can use the full screen mode from Lion and the files from the former working session in Merlin will be reopened automatically. Also a new risk report is now included.

All changes in detail:

New Features in Merlin

  • Compatibility to Mac OS 10.7 “Lion”.
  • Merlin does support the full screen mode when executing under Mac OS 10.7 “Lion”.
  • The import of MS Project files is further improved. Supported are now all versions starting with MS Project 2002 until MS Project 2010.
  • Add a new Risk Report.

Resolved Issues in Merlin

  • Switching to the resource view could be very slow.
  • Under Mac OS X 10.4.11 issues could occur when saving.
  • The expected costs were not calculated correctly under some system locales.
  • When selecting the description part in the project template dialog, Merlin crashed.
  • The advanced search under Mac OS X 10.4.11 did not work.
  • The expected costs did not match costs for completed activities.
  • Under some circumstances, Merlin could not save a project when it was created from a template.
  • Sometimes the QuickLook preview was not updated when the document was changed.
  • Merlin could not connect to some secure LDAP servers.

Resolved Issues in Merlin Web

  • The box in the bottom time ruler row which contains the project status date is now highlighted in Merlin Web and the HTML export.

Resolved Issues in Merlin Server

  • When installed for a local user, Merlin Server used the wrong file permissions and could not run properly.
  • Under some circumstances, a character (‘) was added to the project files path.

  1. I have installed LION 10.7.1 and also the 2.8 Merlin. I still am not able to open MS Project files. Before installing LION there was no problem. Can you help me. Thank you.

  2. Just installed the new version. Doesn’t seem to support the new Lion file-saving time machine paradigm, is that right? Would be very keen to have this capability.

  3. It seems that every time I try and download 2.8, the dmg file is not recognised. I’ve tried this from the Check Updates function in Merlin and from the website…still no joy.

  4. I’m having the same issue that luke reported.

    Everytime I download Merlin 2.8 and mount the disk image it says its unrecognisable.
