Before I can do Gantt charts I have to have dependancies and estimated and actual durations. Frankly I think keeping track of all that data makes most any system too slow to use, I like the 'keep is simple' approach. They might be in the reporting release, maybe one after.

For example. Tasks Pro 1.1 was a free upgrade. The current plan is to add recurring tasks and task templates in the next major upgrade then reporting after that. Of course there are a bunch of other smaller features that will be added as well - I have a very long list. :) My plan is to have a nonimal upgrade charge for major new functionality with all bug fixes and minor feature upgrades for free.

Officially the license is for one installation, but I'd have a staging install as well if I were experimenting. I don’t have a problem with that.
