UPGRADING

DateDayBeforeMonth

Prior to version 1.02, there was an undocumented RT config option DateDayBeforeMonth. If you have DateDayBeforeMonth set in your RT, you can make JSGantt do the same thing by setting DateDisplayFormat in RT_SiteConfig.pm:

Set(
    %JSGanttOptions,
    ...
    # DateDisplayFormat => 'dd/mm/yyyy',
    ...
);
