Taking weekends into account in the ideal burndown line

Silver Catalyst now takes weekends into account when drawing the ideal burndown line. The old ideal line was slightly misleading because it assumed that you will burn down the exact same amount every day. In reality teams don’t work on the weekends, and so they need to burn down extra on the weekdays.

The new ideal burndown line takes this into account and figures out how much you need to ideally burn down on the weekday taking into account that no work will be done on the weekend.

Here is what it looks like
