Current Status

We are currently (2016-06-22) working on the Beta of ]po[ V5.0 which is schedule for October 2016.

V5.0 includes a Gantt Editor, a Portfolio Planner and several charts in in HTML5 technology. These packages are relatively immature, compared with the rest of ]po[. So the attention of the ]po[ core team is focused on these new components and their enterprise readiness with large amounts of complex projects.
