What is new in this release?

We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for Java 18.3.0 . This release brings enhancements to API functionality by introducing new features. Specifically, it provides support for renumbering WBS Codes of tasks in a project and eliminates gaps between tasks list and page footer while rendering project data. This release of Aspose.Tasks for Java lets users renumber the WBS codes associated with tasks like Microsoft Project’s “Renumber” function. Users can renumber all or selected WBS codes of tasks in a project as shown in the sample code on blog announcement page. The rendering capabilities of project data to various formats are one of the powerful features of Aspose.Tasks for Java API. This release has further improved this functionality by providing the feature of reducing gap between project’s tasks list and footer information in output. This improves the visualization of project’s rendered information in the output. The setReduceFooterGap property of SaveOptions class can be used to achieve this. This release also introduces an enhancement for getting number of pages based on specified Start and End dates. This feature can be used to get specific page count for specified dates even during conversion to various output formats. Below is the complete list of bug fixes and enhanced features included in this release.
