Current Version 5.0.0.244

New Features/Improvements

1. InTakt Import: The first release of the InTakt import tools is now available.  You will be able to import entire phases of work developed using the InTakt software.  The takt colors, the start and the finish dates, the locations, the durations, and logic ties are all imported into vPlanner. In this first release the InTakt data will be imported as User fields in vPlanner.  Some manual mapping will be required.  Future releases will fully automate this process.  The InTakt task ID will be maintained for future updates from the same source tasks.
   
2. New Legend Creation tools: the home menu now includes tools for creating legends for company color, discipline colors, task types, and task status options.  Those can be useful for posting in collaboration spaces as a reference.

4. Home Ribbon: You can now edit and status tasks from the home ribbon.
