NOTE: All updates that affect program use are reflected in the Budget.doc
file. See that file for specific information on how to use all of
the new features.
All data files created with previous versions of HomeBudget can
be loaded with the newer versions. Note that some earlier versions
had less prefrences to save, so you may want to re-check the Prefs
menu and re-save the file again. If you ever want to know what
version of data files you have, select "Get Info" or "Information"
on the data file's icon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0 : Original File - Apr 92
1.01: * Fixed the screen displays for a nicer showing under WB2.0 - the
old version had some things that displayed into the border of the
new windows.
* Now asks for confirmation before doing item deletions.
1.02: * Added a better icon for saved files.
* Fixed some minor bugs in report generation.
* Added a color option for displayed listings to show deposits and
negative balances.
* Added a .bgt extension to files to help in easier loading and
searching.
* Extended error checking to look for duplicate items and a few
other things.
1.1 : * Now supports _printing_ of reports and listings !!!
* Will now display the date of when files were last saved in the
Main Menu window.
* When viewing a checking/savings account list, selecting an entry
will now let you view the actual entry (so you can see the
memos) -- the viewing screen looks like the "edit entry" window.
* Fixed minor bug in the "NewFile" routine that changed the name of
a current file -- it now adds a "+" to the front of the old file
name.
* Added more error checking for duplicate ID numbers in checks.
* Added a button to select previous pages in account listings.
* Fixed the default font for screens (for those WB2.0 users!)
1.11 : * Fixed the "New" menu option, now when you make a new file that
is a continuation from an old, any items that have not been
cleared will still remain in the account list. All budget items
are still cleared.
* Removed the use of the garnet font in the "About" menu item --
now I just use a plain topaz font (no need for garnet!). As a
side note: re-wrote my "print" functions to know how to center
text in a window :-) -- looks much nicer.
* The date for the present day is displayed in the screen title
* Now added a "Search & Edit" menu option to checking/savings. Will
allow you to pattern search all entries & edit found matches.
* Added the "prefs" menu item (right mouse button) to all menu
selection windows (check,save,budget,report, & print).
* Now added a "3D" look to some gadgets - updated the screen to
a total of 8 colors instead of four (can support 3D now).
* Added a new menu option "Cond Print" -- when selected will print
out reports in condense print, otherwise will use Elite Print.
(bug in old version caused all print to be condensed, not elite)
1.2 : (Argh! Just when you think you got it the way you want...)
* Changed the COND PRINT menu option to print more lines per page
rather than more colums across the page. All text is printed in
the Elite mode (12 cpi). Makes more sense this way, I guess.
* Added a Form Feed command to the printer. Now after printing each
report it will eject the page.
* Added a feature to the "About" menu -- now displays the number
of items that you can enter with the currently available memory.
* Due to some klunks in the "New" menu item, more changes go
to this area: When making a new file from one already in memory,
the program itself will not change the file name, the user is
soley responsible for the name change. No change means no new
file.
* Fixed a bug in the "View Budget" menu selection, now it will
allow you to view individual entries that occured in savings.
* OOPS! In v1.11, when I added the "Search & Edit" menu item to
checking and savings, the "Delete Item" menu selection got
dropped off the menu list. Now it is put back again!
* Fixed a minor bug that did not alert the program that an account
file had changed when you deleted an item in checking/savings.
* The Form Feed command now has a menu item under the Prefs Menu
that lets you turn on/off this feature.
* Added a new print out feature - now will print graphs of a year's
worth of transactions for checking, savings, and budgets.
1.21 : (NON-RELEASED VERSION)
* Added new function to the Budget menu - Split Transfers. Will
do a transfer as a split deposit.
* Modified the small font to a thicker size. Renamed "FLOW". Fixed
some of the displays to handle the slightly wider font.
* Budget priorities can now go from 1 to 999 (not just to 100).
* Added new Prefs Menu item "Make Backup" - this will make a backup
saved copy of the data file before it saves it. The file name
will be appended with ".bak" instead of the ".bgt" extension.
* Fixed minor bug w/ viewing the INITIAL ACCOUNT BALANCE.
1.3 : (This version has many new changes, features, and bug fixes!)
* Added a new feature - Auto Entries that can automaticly do things
on specified dates. Works w/ checking and savings accounts. Note
that this changes the data files to a new version.
* Created a small program to handle auto entries at startup time.
File is called "AutoBudget".
* Fixed a bug with the routine used to find today's date - it would
not correctly get the date for the 1st of January.
* Fixed the ".bak" extension -- now will remove the ".bgt"
extension first, then append the .bak extension.
* Added a new item to the File Menu "Restore" -- this will
restore any backup file for the one currently in memory as the
current file.
* Created a new sub-menu "Misc Accounts" - this is for the storage
of misc account data for things like CD's, Other Savings, and
investments. Items here can be xfered to chk/sav.
* Added a way to see what items to select in the requester items.
Highlighted items are written like this: =CANCEL=
* Changed the default item #'s from 10000 to 50000. Older data
files that have id's less than 50000 will be set to start at the
new 50000 mark (old numbers will not be changed)
* Inital dates for Budget Categories will be the same as when the
file was first created, not the current date.
* In the New... File menu, when making a new file from one already
in memory, you now have the option to delete or not delete the
unbalanced items in checking and savings.
* Made auto-entries work with items in the Misc Accounts lists.
* Fixed the Balance Account routine to not give "INVALID ID #" for
selecting CANCEL on the select item window. Also now gives the
balanced amount in the YES-NO requester.
* Budgets that have an amount set to 0 (percent or $$) can be of
any priority. Before, they had to be less than the highest
number used. Now, use any priority you wish.
* Fixed a bug in the "PREV PG" function. If you were on a page
that was > 2 and tried this, the computer would hang or crash.
* Added new prefs menu item "Chart Norm" -- makes charts have more
normal increments like 1, 10, 25 etc.
* Made the report and print functions work with misc. accounts.
* Now you can double click on filenames in the "LOAD FILE"
requester window. This will then select and load the file.
* Re-sorted the buttons in many of the window menus. Now they are
in a more sensible order.
* Changed the look of cyclic buttons to have cycle arrows.
* Re-grouped the Prefs Menu items for better understanding.
* Made it so that you are unable to edit entries held over from
starting a new file from a current one.
* Made for default budget ID codes for checking/saving entries
when the current file has only one budget category.
* Added a new display in report analysis ... will display the
average amount per entry for items listed.
* New Prefs Menu items: "Date Range" and "Set Range...". These will
let the user set up a standard date range for viewing account
lists for checking, savings, budgets, and misc accounts. The
item "Date Range" wil
