Loading dates in ISO format

You can use ISO date format in Gantt. For this, you need to redefine functions that parse and serialize dates in Gantt:

gantt.templates.parse_date = function(date) { 
    return new Date(date);
};
gantt.templates.format_date = function(date) { 
    return date.toISOString();
};
