Enhancements
- Renovation of the iteration view (give us feedback at the forum!)
- Calendar view to daily work view for browsing spent effort
- Renamed Overhead as Baseline load
- Renamed existing project statuses green, yellow and red
- Added new project statuses grey and black
Terminology changed to match the concepts in Scrum:
- Iteration goal =>Story
- Backlog item in products and projects => Story
- Backlog item in an iteration => Task
Small UI and usability tweaks:
- Quick enter => save & close (instead of save)
- Improved interval selection in timesheets
- Improved displaying long backlog descriptions
