Product Updates

We’re patiently waiting for summer to truly arrive. In the meantime, we’re busy behind the scenes to make Backlog better. Here’s what we’ve been up to.

TL; DR

Gantt chart additions and improvements including a button to expand/collapse groups, synched horizontal scrolling between groups, and the ability to edit timelines for multiple issues using drag-and-drop.

NEW

• Issue timelines: Set issue start and end dates directly in the Gantt chart, and edit the timeline for multiple issues simultaneously using drag-and-drop.
• Gantt chart group view: Expand or collapse groups on the Gantt chart with a new button.
• Enterprise release: Check out the latest version (1.12.0).

IMPROVEMENTS

• Gantt chart scrolling: Horizontal scrolling between groups on Gantt chart grouping is now synched.
• In-app notifications: Review all your notifications with a continuous scroll.
• Bigger attachments: We increased the attachment size limit from 5MB to 50MB.
• Registration error: Get clear information if registering an issue via email fails.
• Android startup time: My Issues and issue details screens load faster. 

FIXED

• Images weren’t included in tables when using Backlog notation for issue details.
• Confirmation dialog didn’t appear when completing a parent issue with an incomplete child issue.
• Searching for strings with “{” and “}” in the wiki search caused an error.
• There was no additional loading when scrolling wasn’t available.
