This Week in Bamboo (January 17th, 2010 – January 23rd, 2010)

This Week in Bamboo we released multiple patches using our new Bamboo License 2.6 and Web License Manager 1.2. For the latest version of SharePoint Project Management Central (Release 1.6), there are several improvements and critical bug fixes, and is a recommended upgrade for all PM Central users. It is important that with our storefront version of SharePoint Knowledge Base Solution Accelerator (Release R1.5) users need to clear IE cache.  And for Tree View Web Part you can now page, sort when using Lightning Conductor Web Part on the same page. We also fixed the search results for List Search Advanced Web Part when changing Region Setting and the Title column is now in the dropdown. Cross List Web Part is updated with German language and we changed the button from Close to Save/Cancel for Active Project Health in SharePoint Project Portfolio Dashboard. For more information on the changes, please see the details below.

SharePoint Project Management Central (SA12 R1.6)

New:

  • Use Bamboo Licensing 2.6 and web licensing manager 1.2.(Note: User needs to upgrade WLM1.X to WLM1.2 if they want to activate the license)

Bug Fixes:

  • Undisposed SP objects in timer jobs.
  • Top Sites created during the upgrade to 1.x to 1.5 (especially ones created at the Site Collection level) are populated with items from the top site’s Task List, and Task lists at the top site are not synched with the Project Health list at the top site. As a result, the only data included from the top site’s project health list are Project Type = “custom” and Project Status = “Active”, default values for Project Type and Project Status as data for new items. Since the Dashboard updates the mapping to the Project Health list for top site and sub sites, the info for the top site’s project within the Gantt View of Active Projects will only show as custom for the top site.
