Load Project Data from MSP Database, Read/Write Rate Scale Data for MSP 2013 & Above using Java

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for Java 17.8.0. This release includes new feature of providing support for rate scale information in MPP files. It also includes several improvements in terms of bug fixes that further add to the overall stability of the API. From this month’s release, support for JDK 1.6 has been discontinued. From this release onwards, Aspose.Tasks for Java won’t support JDK 1.6. All Aspose customers, who are using older version of JDK and want to use this latest version of API, need to upgrade their Java version to meet the minimum requirement of API i.e. JDK 1.7 or higher. Aspose.Tasks for Java already supported reading/writing rate scale information of resource assignment for MPP 2013 and below versions. With this release, the API now supports reading and writing rate scale data for MSP 2013 and above file formats. This is as illustrated in the code sample on blog announcement page. Working with loading project data from Microsoft Project Data was supported in one of the earlier versions of API. This, however, had issues with the update of Microsoft Project Database versions update and the functionality was broken. Aspose team is glad to share that this issue has been fixed now. Users can now load Project data from Project database using this latest version of the API.  Below is the complete list of bug fixes and enhanced features included in this release.
