Breaking Changes

1. The Completed "Schedule Status" for Project and Task is removed. 
   Users who have explicitly set Schedule Status filters to include/exclude the “Completed” option will have to manually change their report definitions to get their report data correct. 
   To fix this: A new filter Display Tasks is available in "Task" report which has a value "Completed" which you can pick to view all completed tasks.
   To exclude the completed tasks, you can add the filters %Complete with value < 100.

New Features/Enhancements 

1. Ability to define your own Project States: Earlier known as project "Phase", this has been one of the most demanded feature requests. For details, refer here. 

   Note
   Customers using "phase_id" in the formula fields or API's will have to change their respective code to apply the new change. For API, refer here.

   Migration for existing customers:
    

   1. All existing project “phases” will be automatically migrated to the project “states”. 

      Phase Name	State Name	Allow Time	Send email notifications
      In Planning	In Planning	Will depend If the company policy "Allow time on archived/In planning projects” was checked, then time will be allowed.	No
      In Progress	In Progress	Yes	Yes
      On Hold	On Hold	No	No
      Archived	Archived	Will depend If the company policy "Allow time on archived/In planning projects” was checked, then time will be allowed.	No

   3. The ‘Recalculate Projections’ option will not be visible when the stage is either "Planning" or "Closure".

   4. The “Completed” status (schedule status) of a project/task is removed. It will now be one of the following: On Track, Off Track, Blocked (for task), Future, At Risk. The Completed status will now reflect as follows:

      Condition	New Schedule Status
      Finish(Actual) > Finish	Off Track
      Finish (Actual) <= Finish	On Track

2. Support for Microsoft Edge browser. 
3. Bulk Edits for Timecodes: Ability to change "Timecode" in bulk.
