v.3.16.0.0
This version focuses on improvements to under-the-hood performance and the user experience. Other enhancements and minor fixes are also included.
Enhancements:
Made color of selected list items to be higher contrast in both Light and Dark mode, making it easier to tell an item is selected.
Changed activity sort to only activities within goals. Phases and goals retain their manually set positions.
Added "Missing action item primary resource" to Project Errors.
Renamed Export menu items on Portfolio Assignments page from "Export Current View" to "Export Counts" and "Export All" to "Export Raw Data." Also rename exported column headers in "Export All" files from "Start" to "Start/Discovered" and "Finish" to "Finish/Closed." Corresponding changes were also made on the Portfolio Effort page.
Navigating after undo/redo operations attempts to place the changed item at the top of the list.
Bi-directional sorting is now OFF as default application setting.
Fixes:
Sorting stakeholders by Open Assignments depends on the Focus filter being set. Otherwise, it reports total assignment counts.
Creating an issue from a risk, or creating a risk from a decision causes unnecessary undo stack entries.
Project files can save with missing application/file version, causing future failure to open.
Setting an activity Percent Complete to 100 or Work Status to Complete does not update the Actual Finish date for the parent Goal and Phase.
Crashes when the Activities list is sorted by date and one of the phases does not have any activities.
When a project element's Name is changed, it creates an undo entry for each character typed.
When the Focus filter is ON, and an Activity is marked as Complete, the Activity can no longer be selected as Current. This also happens with other project components.
When "Last Project" is set as the starting page in Application Settings, and a new project is created (and opened automatically), it is not registered as the last project opened upon exit. The next time the application is run it opens the "project before last."
v.3.15.0.0

Enhancements:
Added a Kanban-style "Work Status View" to the Activities page.

All project component name fields now update as the user types.
Included the Project Guide icon where it is referenced.
Fixes:
When "Last Project" is chosen as the startup page, the portfolio is cleared of all projects except the last opened project.
Navigation after undo goes to the last Detail tab on a project component page, instead of the intended undo navigation target tab.
When all activities in a Phase or Goal are selected except those that are hidden (e.g. Focus is ON), CTRL/SHIFT clicking the goal or phase to unselect the activities is ignored.
When activity is selected, then the CTRL or SHIFT key combination is used to select an activity in a different goal, all activities with an index less than the newly selected activity are also selected.
When an activity is hidden (e.g. Focus is ON), selecting the Goal or Phase includes the hidden activity.
Setting an Activity to Complete work status using the radio buttons does not check for open action items and provide a warning.
Adding a new timelog entry allows user to select a group stakeholder.
Changing "Include Template Activities" to OFF in Application Settings does not turn ""Auto-Sequence Activities"" to OFF.

Fixes:
Changes that fall withing the Report Period of a report do not refresh when the Report Period changes.
v.3.11.0.0
This version focuses on improving the user experience of the project schedule Gantt chart and Change Log. Other enhancements and minor fixes are also included.

The Change Log can now be sorted by date or project component type.
Set Activity Start Date and Discovered dates for Risks and Issues now display full calendar view. This makes it easier to choose a date in full context (e.g. if all you can remember is "it was a Monday.")
Moved the Update Schedule AppBarButton on the General page to the CommandBar. This make more sense, since changes to both the Project Start Date and the Holidays affect the project schedule. It also brings immediate attention to the schedule when a project file is opened.
Removed undo from Update Schedule. Update Schedule is a non-destructive function, and this also eliminates the unnecessary undo when "auto-update schedule upon save" is ON (an Application Setting).
On the Project Overview and My Assignments pages, automatically refresh the report when both ComboBoxes have a value and one of them changes. Removed the Refresh button.
Set new Application Settings defaults: Undo/Redo Descriptions ON and Include Template Activities OFF.
Added "Clear Predecessors" context menu to Phases and Goals on the Activities and Schedule pages.
Changing Activity Percent Complete from 0 sets the Actual Start date. This creates two undo/redo entries, which isn't intuative for the undo operation; same for Percent Complete = 100/Actual Finish date.

Fixes:
Context menu only deletes the current activity, not all selected activities.
Clearing Report Subject Line has weird effect. It looks like the placeholder text is shown behind the default Subject Line (Project Name - Report Title).
Phases are sorting multiple times for each sort command.
Navigating with new buttons in the Expanders does not preserve or apply the selected detail tab (e.g. alternates between Action Items tab and Notes tab for Activities).

Project assets (documents, spreadsheets, websites, etc.) can now be managed on the Project Overview page. This is a convenient one-stop place to manage and access project assets. These are typically shared files and folders, e.g. Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc. Find and sort tools provide quick access to specific assets.

v3.0.0.0
Improvements to this version makes project planning faster and easier. New Quick Set tools select and update multiple project components at once, including stakeholders, requirements, activities, risks, issues and reports. Project EMC2 now supports activity resource effort (in hours) and provides resource assignments and effort views across your entire project portfolio. It's often the case that critical resources are working on multiple projects at once, and these views let you instantly see if anyone is overloaded or has extra capacity.

v2.1.0.0
Enhancements:
User profile verification is now optional. A new tool was added to the Change Log toolbar to set this option for each project, and an Application Settings switch has been added to set the default for new projects. Hovering the pointer over a user's name in the Change Log shows their email address and whether or not their profile was verified at the time the change was made.
Standard Cut/Copy/Paste clipboard tools have been added to the toolbars on all project component tabs. This also enables the standard keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+X,CTRL+C,CTRL+V). This especially makes it easier when creating your project Phases, Goals and Activities.
There are now two Paste menu items when right-clicking a project component: "Paste" and "Paste as New." The Paste menu pastes the item verbatim, and preserves all Details, Action Items and Notes. The "Paste as New" option only pastes the Name and Details fields, as if the item was creates using the Add button.
The "Move Up" and "Move Down" functionality on the Activities Detail page and the Schedule View page has been moved from the popup menus to the toolbars.

All lists are now sortable by Open Action Items.
The Stakeholders list is also sortable by Open Assignments.
Stakeholder assignments have been moved to the Stakeholder Detail page.
Requirements are now sortable by Open Acceptance Criteria.
The Activities list now has sticky Phases. As you scroll down the Activities list, the current Phase remains in view at the top of the list.

The Schedule page is no longer a popup dialog, but a page that displays in the same frame as the Details page.
The old "Declutter" terminology has been replaced with "Focus". That is, there is now a Focus button in the top right corner of the application, which only shows the list items that require attention.
The Undo/Redo buttons can now be set to optionally show the undo description (vs. hovering the mouse over the Undo/Redo buttons to view the tooltip description).
The most commonly used Action Items and Notes sub-tabs have been moved to the number 1 and number 2 positions, respectively, to provide easy "muscle memory" access across all major tabs. Any remaining tabs following these two are alphabetized.
The new Reports Overview page provides a history of "Last Sent" dates for each report.
The Report Recipient's List and Subject Line fields have been moved to the Preview and Send page.
The Email Account Password field has been moved to the Preview and Send page (no longer a popup).
v1.0.0.4
Enhancements:
ProjectFile is being captured in Change Log when global changes to Project are recorded (should be reported from Project object, not ProjectFile object)
New items are not appearing at the top of the list when Declutter is ON
Third column of gantt chart width calculating as negative in some cases
On OpenFile DateHelper.Reset is called, which clears out the Workdays that was just set by reading the file.
Remove ToggleButtonShowSchedule from MainWindow.xaml (2 instances)
New project doesn't prompt to save if no changes are made
When creating a new Activity, the UndoRedoManager records the setting of the current Phase and Goal; it shouldn't; only the New Activity should be recorded.
v1.1.0.0
Enhancements:
Added a "General" tab to the Settings options window. Now allows a choice of date range for decluttering of activities.
Exporting of the Assignments list is now available as an option in the Export dialog.
Added the "Do not adjust" flag (checkbox) to the main activity detail tab (to the right of the Planned Finish Date datepicker).
Added Manual Sort so that it's more intuitive to brainstorm and order activities in rough order of execution while building the Activities list. This also makes it easier to find and link predecessors in the Edit Schedule dialog.
Automatic navigation to a change when using Undo/Redo is now more intelligent, and only resets Declutter and filtering if the affected item is hidden.
Moved the Undo/Redo buttons from the individual tabs to menu bar.
Added a toggle button on the Activities tab to allow ungrouping of Activities (from Phases and Goals), to create a single list that sorts precisely by Date and Progress Alert.
Updated holidays library.
Fixes:
Renaming of phases and goals only renames the activities that are visible (not filtered).
Progress alert color of phase and goal groups incorrectly calculating when filters are used.
Unhandled error when using the Find function when fields on project components were empty.
Removing a stakeholder also removes them from many other project components. Undo is recording these indivdually rather than as one action.
Filter text remains in place after deleting the last of any project component.
