The main update in this version is extra fields.

Sometimes we need to have some extra fields for tasks like "fixed price" or "used time" or "bunged" for project and we want to see total value of these extra fields and see values of these fields in item list

Now we have new type "Number" and new option "Display in list" for projects, tasks, and users extra fields.
If we set type "number" fields total value calculated automatically
if we set option "Display in list" on, fields value will add to item list
See example:

The main update in this version is javascript and css cache. qdPM has 20 external Javascript scripts and 7 external stylesheets and it's not very good for page load speed.

80% of the end-user response time is spent on the front-end. Most of this time is tied up in downloading all the components in the page: images, stylesheets, scripts, Flash, etc. Reducing the number of components in turn reduces the number of HTTP requests required to render the page. This is the key to faster pages.[/quote]... read more
