The latest release of ProjectLibre was released with extensive update for global users. ProjectLibre has been translated into 29 languages. The 1.9.3 release allows project managers to select the language in a drop down list. In addition to language, the country can be chosen which also sets the project currency and date format. Based on the referenced downloads, languages it is derived that ProjectLibre delivers project management software in native language and currency to over 5,000,000 people worldwide and 197 countries.

ProjectLibre is written in the Java programming language, and will thus theoretically run on any machine for which a fully functioning Java virtual machine (JVM) exists. Currently, ProjectLibre is certified to run on Linux, MacOS, and Microsoft Windows.^[3] It is released under the Common Public Attribution License (CPAL) and qualifies as free software according to the Free Software Foundation.

ProjectLibre's initial release was in August 2012. SourceForge staff selected ProjectLibre ProjectLibre as the January 2016 'Staff Pick' Project of the Month.^[4]

ProjectLibre Cloud is a web-basedproject management application. ProjectLibre Cloud will be a multi-user, multi-project version in the browser. It will be similar to Google Docs compared to Microsoft Word. The beta test timing has not been announced.

History[edit]

Marc O'Brien, Howard Katz, and Laurent Chretienneau developed OpenProj at Projity in 2007. It moved out of beta with Version 1.0 on January 10, 2008.

In late 2008, Projity was acquired by Silver Lake Partners (the private equity firm) via its subsidiary at that time, Serena Software.^[5]

In November 2008, support and development of OpenProj appeared suspended.^[6] There were a few later commits to the CVS with regressions, but no improvements. It is no longer compatible with Microsoft Project.

In 2012, the founders of OpenProj announced that they had forked the OpenProj codebase and started a different implementation.

Serena announced and posted online to avoid downloading OpenProj and instead download ProjectLibre.

The initial release of ProjectLibre occurred in August 2012. ProjectLibre has been completely rewritten and thus technically ceased to be a fork.^[7]

The team is looking in 2021 to release a Cloud/SaaS version, which will extend the desktop features with team and enterprise features.

Features[edit]

The current version includes:

• Microsoft Project 2010 compatibility
• OpenOffice and LibreOffice compatibility
• Ribbon user interface
• Earned value costing
• PERT graph only (not PERT technique)
• Resource breakdown structure (RBS) chart
• Task usage reports
• Work breakdown structure (WBS) chart

Comparison to Microsoft Project[edit]

Compared to Microsoft Project, which it closely emulates, ProjectLibre has a similar user interface (UI) including a ribbon-style menu, and a similar approach to construction of a project plan: create an indented task list or work breakdown structure (WBS), set durations, create links (either by (a) mouse drag, (b) selection and then button-down, or (c) manually type in the 'predecessor' column), assign resources. The columns (fields) look the same as for Microsoft Project. Costing features are comparable: labour, hourly rate, material usage, and fixed costs: these are all provided.^[8]

ProjectLibre improvements[edit]

• Full compatibility with Microsoft Project 2010, import/export capability
• Printing
• PDF exporting (without any restrictions)
• Ribbon user interface
• Many bug fixes and correction of issues that OpenProj encounters that are mentioned above

Actual version without install file, updated mirror and pkgsums:

haawda commented on 2019-03-14 10:27

tar.gz downloads just fine.

But please remove the install file, it is no longer needed, as pacman hooks do the trick.

rains commented on 2019-03-12 11:29

sorry for my slow response. i was busy recently and didn't check the email.i hope someone could join and maintain this package together with me in the future.

nelaaro commented on 2019-03-12 09:26

.tar.gz is not an option the only zip they provide is .zip
