Version Job Description
--2.9b2-(beta 2)----------------------------------------------------------------
2.9b2 FIX Fixed what I believe to be source of some (the majority?) of the
QIF import oddities -- not cleaning up record pointers, etc.
after every import.
2.9b2 FIX Cancelling a memorized recall would still prompt for split
inclusion if splits were found.
2.9b2 FIX New records added to transaction container no longer disappear
below container window.
2.9b2 problem seems to have gone away - waiting
2.9b2 FIX Memorized splits were being lost on reconciliation.
2.9b2 CHG Widened date field in transaction dialog a little.
2.9b2 FIX Calculator would generate error messages on close under Merlin
and FP22. Fixed?
2.9b2 NEW Added '/noscan' parameter to calendar so that it can be launched
from ET's desktop folder.
2.9b2 FIX Memorized records weren't being updated if any of their contents
(except particulars/payee) were subsequently changed.
2.9b2 CHG QIF importer now silently scans from top of file if EOF is
reached before the desired section.
2.9b2 FIX Recalling memorized splits would display actual records rather
than copies.
2.9b2 NEW Saving new or edited records from transaction dialog is now
threaded.
2.9b2 CHG Expanded allowable cheque ceiling from 32768 to 2147483648
2.9b2 NEW Added cautionary message on 'Append' selection in QIF converter.
2.9b2 NEW Added cheque number monitoring on a series basis. Series based
on 1000 cheques, e.g. 1-999, 1000-1999, ... 999999001-
999999999. Although numbering has a ceiling in excess of 2
million, monitoring wraps at 999999999 back to 1.
2.9b2 NEW Invoking Settings notebook now displays miscellaneous page if
called from an Account Book and if, from the Service Desk, an
account is selected.
2.9b2 CHG Invoking transaction dialog from Service Desk now returns focus
to desk upon dismissal.
2.9b2 NEW Next available cheque in a series (or in the following series)
is now available in the 'Number' field and subject to line-
completion, e.g. pressing '1' could expand the entry to 101.
The '!' key to assign the next number remains.
2.9b2 FIX Restore reported nothing on backup drive to restore.
2.9b2 CHG The query dialog regarding adjusting a cheque number that does
not correspond to the next in the series has been replaced by a
monitoring system.
2.9b2 CHG Changed 'Credit', 'Debit' descriptive text in trans. dialog to
'Credit / Purch.', 'Debit / Pay' respectively as a visual
reminder for credit card accounts.
2.9b2 CHG Auto-recall of memorized records and line completion in
Particulars/Payee field in transaction dialog disabled while
editing an existing container record to avoid inadvertently
overwriting data.
2.9b2 FIX Budget actuals weren't being updated in every instance on every
new or edited record containing a valid category.
2.9b2 CHG Changed combination box in 'List' Settings notebook page to an
entryfield and listbox to facilitate the changing of item names.
2.9b2 CHG Cheque number prompt of memorized record recall moved to
'Append' button click event from entryfield focus loss for
smoother integration.
2.9b2 FIX One instance of an error being raised when writing a new record
during QIF import. Added a loop to increment (max 10) the key
number on such an error and tidied up possible error in pool
module. Fixed?
2.9b2 FIX QIF converter was not reversing amounts on credit and liability
accounts to conform with ET's method of handling such account
transaction amounts.
2.9b2 FIX Starting ET on a non-WPS system would fail silently (under
FileBar) or with a violation (under PC2).
2.9b2 CHG Added query dialog when closing the transaction dialog while
there are still records in the container, to avoid inadvertent
loss of unsaved data.

using OD1.5's X close button. Fixed?
2.9b2 FIX Updated postdated records were not updating the account's ending
balance properly.

was selected and the month portion exceeded 12. Converter now
ends gracefully on such an error.

--2.9b3-(beta 3)----------------------------------------------------------------
2.9b3 NEW Added 'Void' and 'Restore' option to account book 'Records'
menu. Voided transactions are represented as dark-green,
underscored entries in the account book.

reverse numerical order along with skipped/duplicate cheque
reporting.
2.9b3 NEW Added QIF exporter.

month and report on the estimated cost, based upon the
parameters defined in the Settings notebook's Fees page.

half-month, monthly, quarterly, yearly, category (family),
category (single), class, and payee.
2.9b3 NEW Added Unreconciled Records report to list transaction that have
not been cleared for from the beginning of the database to a
specified ending date.

have extra long or extraneous lines).
2.9b3 CHG Moved budget report to report module.
2.9b3 CHG Moved memorized recall options from popup menu to Records menu.
2.9b3 FIX QIF converter no longer automatically creates records for links
that could not be resolved; instead, these are logged to a

the erroenous amounts/counts & odd import order behaviour.
2.9b3 CHG Removed 'Date' recall option.
2.9b3 CHG Reworked to calculator by incorporating the tape and display and
exchanging the multiline entryfield for an owner-drawn listbox.

+ -2) now work. Colour scheme change for better readability.
2.9b3 CHG Separated date & time status line fields, and added a 'Status'
field to denote the status of the last selected item:
uncleared, cleared, deleted, void, or postdated.
2.9b3 CHG Transaction dialog's credit/debit column headings now reflect
the type of account, e.g. Purchase/Payment (credit);
Receive/Purchase (cash); etc.
2.9b3 FIX Editing category names sometimes resulted in confused parent-
child relationships.
2.9b3 FIX Budget graph window's location was not being preserved after a
move.
2.9b3 FIX Clashing subcategory names (e.g. Auto:Fuel, Motorcycle:Fuel)
would result in much end-user aggravation.
2.9b3 NEW The '!' next-cheque hotkey has been made user-definable to any
one-character alpha-numeric key (Misc Settings notebook page).
2.9b3 FIX QIF import log file failed on card backup because the filename
did not adhere to the 8.3 DOS rule.

of an over-sized button.
2.9b3
2.9b3
2.9b3 NEW Completed net worth.

cheques / page).
2.9b3 FIX Entering a transaction amount less than 1 dollar, using the
comma decimal separator incorrectly reported a non-zero value by
transaction dialog.

amounts in each account rather than an expected reversal.
2.9b3 NEW Added print preview to all printing functions (except cheque
printing)
2.9b3 NEW Completed transaction fee module (Settings notebook)
2.9b3 CHG Removed Express report in favour of Transaction Report.
--2.90a-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.90a FIX Ctrl+Click on Search magnifying glass did not always initiate
replace.
2.90a FIX Creating new categories on search & replace did not prompt for
income/expense type.
2.90a NEW Added ability to rebuild card's entries in etdeskf.ini directly
from 'Restore' rather than have the user call 'restini.exe'
manually.
2.90a NEW Added ability to restore a deleted card directly from the backup
drive or diskette.
2.90a FIX Record enumeration could sometimes fail if the starting month
did not contain at least one transaction.
2.90a FIX The etdeskf.rc file would lack sum, date, and count data when
generated during the backup process.
2.90a FIX Balance forecasting did not work as expected.
2.90a CHG Forecasted balance entries are now sorted by date, including
expanded postdated entries.
2.90a FIX The calculator memory button (M, Mr, Mc) now works correctly.
2.90a NEW The calculator now draws negative totals in dark red rather than
black.
2.90a NEW Codepage support has been added to the Print Preview and
reports; at least that's what my meagre tests have shown.
2.90a CHG Record memorization in Transactions dialog is now
updated/created with every addition, rather than when new
records are actually written to file as was previously the case.
