# OpenProject 8.2

OpenProject 8.2 includes several improvements, such as a modernized
calendar as well as many usability improvements.

Users of the [Cloud Edition](https://www.openproject.org/hosting/) and
[Enterprise Edition](https://www.openproject.org/enterprise-edition/)
can change work packages to a read-only mode to avoid unwanted changes.
Additionally, embedded work package now also support relations.

## Modernized calendar view

The existing calendar view has been replaced with a new, modern calendar
view with OpenProject 8.2. This affects all existing calendar views
(e.g. in a project, on the
<span class="explanatory-dictionary-highlight" data-definition="explanatory-dictionary-definition-57">My
page</span>).

## Usability improvements

OpenProject 8.2 includes many usability improvements which make
OpenProject easier and smoother to use. Some examples of usability
improvements include:

  - Create a version from the roadmap and backlog page.
  - Change a work package parent directly from the breadcrumb.
  - A “Related to” relation is created automatically when copying a work
    package.
  - The OpenProject search searches the current project and subprojects
    by default.

## Read-only mode for work packages (Enterprise Edition / Cloud Edition)

Users of the Enterprise Edition and Cloud Edition can define read-only
work package statuses. When you change a work package’s status to a
read-only status, the work package can no longer be modified. This
allows you to avoid users to e.g. make changes to a work package once it
has been approved.

## Embedded work packages with other relation types (Enterprise Edition / Cloud Edition)

With OpenProject 8.2 the embed work package capability introduced with
OpenProject 8 is extended to be used with other relation types besides
hierarchical relationships.

## Technical improvements and bug fixes

The OpenProject API now allows you to update times in OpenProject
([\#29003](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/work_packages/29003/activity))
and delete time entries
([\#29029](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/work_packages/29029/activity)),
OpenProject 8.2 contains a large number of smaller improvements and bug
fixes.
