After a MS Project 2016 update, project file saves with missing data

Aspose.Tasks Product Family

When I discovered this issue I changed the code to immediately save the file after opening it as below: projectApp = new Project(projectFile);
projectApp.Save(projectFile, Aspose.Tasks.Saving.SaveFileFormat.MPP);

I have done some more testing with a project that was saved before the Office update.
The version of the project before the update works fine.
import test with resource 2326-1-BeforeMSOfficeUpdate.zip (39.3 KB)

If I open the project in MS Project that had the Office update applied and save it and then use Aspose.Tasks to open and save I end up with the following project:
import test with resource 2326-1-AfterMSOfficeUpdate.zip (39.2 KB)
import test with resource 2326-1-AfterMSOfficeUpdateAndSavingWithAsposeTasks.zip (39.5 KB)

Hope this helps.
Do you know when this will be looked at?
