The major coding for Jumptree Project v1.1 is now complete and we’re entering the testing phase now.

In addition to SQL Server 2005 support and Files Management, there is now batch editing for tasks, discussions, and files.

We’re also excited to announce the most requested feature: a Calendar!

Projects, Milestones, and Tasks will each have their own calendars and the Dashboard will have a calendar that displays everything together.

Here’s what the Dashboard Calendar looks like (click to enlarge it):

As for full internationalization, we decided to push it back to a later upgrade as we want to implement support for localized language packs as well.

Jumptree Project v1.1 is a free upgrade for existing users.

Over the past few months we’ve received tons of feedback from customers and trial users so we have a good idea as to what we need to work on first.

Our goal is to release the v1.1 update in November 2007. The big 3 fixes and enhancements will be:

1. SQL Server 2005 support
2. Internationalization
3. Files Management

Other than that there are a few bugs and GUI issues that we’ll work on as well.

We thank all our customers and trial users! Stay tuned, we have a lot more to come!

We got tons of emails asking about bulk pricing and this was something we wanted to do as well.

So here it is!

Introducing the 10 User License Pack and the 100 User License Pack.

The 10 User License Pack has a 10% discount while the 100 User License Pack has a 15% discount.

So if you want to buy 25 User Licenses, then you would get:
2 Ten Packs + 5 Single User Licenses = 25 User Licenses

Thanks for all the feedback so far. Please let us know if you have any other recommendations and suggestions. We’re listening!

First of all, we would like to thank all the BETA Testers. We really appreciate all the time you put into helping us make Jumptree Project better. So thanks everyone!
