-
Improved
Platform and installation
Tamara now runs on .NET 10 with DevExpress 26.1.4, and its files are digitally signed.
-
New
User actions log
A new Record user actions log switch, off by default, records the user actions and errors of each session for troubleshooting.
-
Improved
Cost simulation
Cost can now be simulated for projects without imported resources and for tasks without resources, and risk cost impacts are no longer ignored for such tasks.
-
Refined
- The spreadsheet and the Report Designer work on machines where network filters block local connections.
- Risk Input editing windows: editing, adding and deleting in a sorted, searched or filtered list act on the selected risk. Older project files affected by this are corrected when opened.
- Scenarios and results: going back from a trend to the Results page no longer runs an extra trend simulation.
- Update Schedule: updating from a schedule with more tasks than before no longer fails with a format error.

-
Improved
Microsoft Planner Premium import
Schedule import coverage for Microsoft Planner Premium has been extended.
-
Refined
- Charts: the Level switch in Tornado Options.
- Charts: the Target Level marker switch of trend charts.
- Risk Input editing windows: the risk categories import procedure.
-
Improved
Windows x64 and .NET 8
Tamara has migrated to the Windows x64 platform and .NET 8. The old version ran on the Windows x86 platform, which limited the client machine's RAM usage to a maximum of 4 GB. The new version removes this restriction, which makes modelling big projects more stable.
-
New
Oracle Primavera custom fields
- Custom fields from Oracle Primavera projects can be imported into the main interface.
- Imported custom fields can be displayed in the Tamara project's main view, with filtering and search by these fields.
- Imported custom fields can be displayed in the results trees for all charts, with search and filtering.
-
New
Results and charts
- Chart data can now be exported to the clipboard / Excel format.
- Task filtering by "All / Only Milestones" in the result view interfaces.
- Updated visual design for the "Trend" chart type.
- A "Correlation Chart" mode without trend line rendering.
- Markers can now be added to result charts.
-
New
Interface and scenarios
- Import Audit window and audit report redesign.
- Scenario support extended to Productivity Risk Factors.
- User interface redesign to improve usability.
- A new project-level settings interface with streamlined access to the simulation scenario editor.
-
Improved
Changes to existing functionality
- Automatic simulation replaced with manual triggering via a button.
- Data transfer between Tamara and Pelican now supports transferring simulation data (statistics, key percentiles) for multiple Tamara project milestones assigned to the Pelican entity.
- Spreadsheet performance improved.
- Localisation improvements.
-
Refined
- Graphical issues with dependency rendering and critical path display in the Gantt chart.
- Output spreadsheet charting: missing charts after changing the number of simulation inputs / outputs.
- Task scheduling: lag calculation when the predecessor and successor had different calendars assigned.
- A sporadic issue with project update for projects with multiple scenarios enabled.
- Minor bug fixes.
-
New
Customisable acceptance criteria in the Import Audit report
Target values for each project file QA requirement can now be adjusted to your needs.
-
New
Filtering in the project main view
Tasks can be filtered by each column. The top row can then be used to assign risks, categories, uncertainties and so on to the filtered tasks only.
-
New
Categories for task-specific risks
- Users can create their own list of categories and assign them to risks, which simplifies navigation and filtering. Categories can also be used when presenting simulation results with the Tornado chart.
- A new task-specific risks selector for the project main view, with detailed information about each risk (category, name, impacts).
- A new "Categorised" Tornado chart mode: task-specific risks on a Tornado chart can be aggregated over risk categories.
-
New
Simulation results charts
- Zoom: enlarge the range of interest on a chart or zoom out to see the full picture.
- Improved visualisation of simulation data with animated transitions for output graphs.
- Automatic checks for software updates can be enabled or disabled.
-
Improved
Spreadsheet functionality
- Data table updating performance and reliability significantly improved.
- Simulation stability improved.
- Fixed the progress bar during simulation.
- Fixed unstable spreadsheet simulation caused by changing the number of samples.
- Fixed the same simulation results being displayed for different risk scenarios assigned in the spreadsheet.
- Minor fixes and improvements.
-
Improved
Main application: behaviour changes
- Task-specific risks with zero frequency / impact are excluded from the simulation.
- Two types of constraints (START_ON, FINISH_ON) added to the Schedule Audit interface during project import.
- A classic Tornado chart (without alignment at zero) shows the minimum and maximum dates (start / finish mode) or values (duration / cost mode).
- The Primavera P6 file version restriction during project import has been removed, so all required fields can be imported from projects saved in old formats. If the import fails, a warning is shown and the import continues with the WBS structure only.
- UI improvements for high DPI mode.
-
Refined
Main application
- Incorrect risks / uncertainties / categories assignment to the filtered set of tasks.
- Copying simulation statistics in date format.
- Scatter result chart appearance (labels overlapping, excessive date labels).
- Parameter validation in the task-specific window: the frequency editor gave false-positive validation errors when switching from single-event to multiple-event risks.
- An unexpected 100x increase in custom uncertainty distribution parameters on localised versions of the application.
- Minor fixes and improvements.
-
Refined
Report Designer
- The schedule line and user markers were not shown on charts showing durations.
- An error was shown when trying to load a newly created report template.
-
New
- A new critical path simulation report output (critical / longest).
- A new file import audit report.
-
Improved
