Yes, they renamed "Project Pro for Office 365" to "Project Online Desktop Client" recently. You would still use the ProjectProRetail option in your configuration.xml file.

Confusing: I understand that I now need to move to the subscription version (formerly Project Pro for Office 365, now Project Online Desktop Client) in order to get thelatest Timeline features (label swimlane and show progress on the time line).

I wish I didn't have to uninstall my existing MSP Pro 2016 desktop client in order to get the Timeline features I need.
