- Scheduling: Removing all work hours from a project no longer results in tasks with no effort and duration
- Split Tasks: Split tasks now remain split when the first half of the task is dragged in the Gantt chart
- Task Completion: Addressed a rounding error that could cause tasks to be > 99% complete instead of 100% complete
- Stability: Constraints that result in a scheduling recursion now present a violation instead of causing OmniPlan to crash
