We are glad to announce that AnyGantt 7.4.0 is released. Our Gantt component is based on JavaScript (HTML5) and is easy to integrate with AnyChart. In this version, we have made a few useful improvements:

	Tooltip feature for all Timeline Elements Tooltips can be added to all timeline elements (such as resources, tasks, and periods). The appearance and format of Tooltips can be customized as always. Take a look at a Gallery sample >>
	Possibility to Hover/Select Gantt Chart Rows Gantt charts are now more interactive and responsive in use. You can adjust both the appearance of the selection and the special settings for the selected elements (such as resources, tasks, and periods). Take a look at Gallery sample >>
	Gantt Chart Toolbar Panel Just a few lines of code now allow you to create an UI-panel that helps to Print, Export to pictures, Zoom In/Out, Expand or Collapse. Take a look at Gallery sample >>
	Horizontal Scroll in DataGrid A DataGrid now can be horizontally scrolled. Have a look at this feature through the link below. Take a look at Gallery sample >>

Today we present you a beta version of AnyGantt - now JavaScript (HTML5). Note that the new AnyGantt is much better integrated with AnyChart (and vice versa): all charts or their components can be combined and used together.

Though it is just a beta, all key features are already available:

	Project Gantt Chart Intended for showing progress of completion of a single task or a group of tasks, taking into consideration their planned time periods and actual ones. Read more about the Project Gantt Chart >> Take a look at a Gallery sample >>
	Resource Gantt Chart Intended for showing the resources you have and spreading these resources along the timeline (into periods). Read more about the Resource Gantt Chart >> Take a look at Gallery sample >>
	Rich JavaScript API All AnyGantt settings can be changed dynamically at any moment. See JavaScript API >>
	Data Grid as a Standalone Feature In AnyChart 7.x versions, all visual elements can be used as standalone features, and Data Grid is not an exception. Take a look at a Gallery sample >>

We are happy to publish a new success story, this time about Eugeniy Stern - an independent SAP development consultant, who has been working in this field since 1997, assisting large enterprises in oil-producing, oil-refining and transport industries. In some of his projects, he used AnyGantt.

The SAP NetWeaver technology platform enables the composition, provisioning, and management of SAP as well as non-SAP enterprise software applications. There is a built-in solution for creating Gantt charts, but it was found lacking visual appeal needed for business reporting.

After a market research, it appeared that AnyGantt fits best of all the charting components. AnyGantt was recommended to the clients, and during this year, a few projects using AnyGantt in SAP NetWeaver will be launched.

The story can be found here: Eugeniy Stern Recommends AnyGantt to His Clients >>
