  * When the start or end date of one ticket is out of the range defined for the current gantt chart, then a marker is used at the boundary dates instead with an information on the real dates of the tickets.

  * Define the maximum length of the labels for the row, i.e. the length of "bug id + summary"
    * When the title exceed the maximum length, the title is truncated with "..." concatenated at the end.
  * Since version 1.2, it is now possible to specify the estimated duration of each ticket or in days or in hours. For instance '2d' for 2 days, '4h' for 4 hours.
    * It is also possible to customize the default unit to use 'd' or 'h' when the duration is set in the ticket without unit.
