Users can now draw a new dependency line between events via drag and drop in the Gantt Chart. A dialog will popup where users can refine the dependency settings and create a dependency. In addition to drawing out dependencies, it is also possible to draw lines to start by parent process start conditions. Display and management of task dependencies within the Gantt Chart improve visualization and the ability to model new dependencies.

Owners of calendar events can now delete events and remove them from the calendar of any involved people.
