Invalid outline number while reading tasks from Microsoft Project - After June Update of Microsoft Project?


we are using MPP14Reader to read tasks from Microsoft Project, and recently for some of the projects, we are seeing that getOutlineNumber is giving wrong value. (ex: in Microsoft Project OutlineNumber is 1.2 , where as task.getOutlineNumber() is resulting in 2.4).

going through MPXJ code, found that this has been fixed in latest release via commit https://github.com/joniles/mpxj/commit/628df2b4a9dc4f00f59c5d8ad1c54648292a5c41

looking at commit description, seems this is happening after Microsoft June Update !!

do we have any workaround here ? can some one please help

Not all projects have this issue, seems to be issue with some of the projects
