1.2.2 Due Out This Week!

Prospects 1.2.2 is looking great and is due out by the end of this week as planned.  Although this is a minor release, it has a few really great features that will help users quite a bit.

First, importing has quite a few bug fixes.  Thanks to all the users who sent in the problems they were experiencing!  One great new addition is that Prospects will no longer force the transaction dates to be identical when checking for duplicates on importing.  It will now be more lenient and go back a few days during the duplicate check.  This will really help out users who manually enter a transaction on the day it occurs and then import it from their bank at a later date.  Previously, this situation would typically result in duplicate transactions being present following the import since Prospects required the dates to be identical.  The dates would be off by a few days because transactions usually take a few days to clear and appear in your account, thus resulting in duplicates after the import.  With the upcoming version 1.2.2 this will now be resolved and will result in far fewer duplicate transactions in accounts following an import.

Second, Prospects 1.2.2 adds exporting to QIF files.  This is great if you use multiple financial applications to manage your data or if you need to export date for tax purposes.

Third, Prospects 1.2.2 adds a preference for showing ViewPoints data across all accounts instead of just the current account.  This was requested by a number of people.  You can toggle this on/off in the preferences real-time and the ViewPoints will update immediately.

I’ve also resolved a few annoying crashes/bugs and added a few other minor enhancements.  All-in-all, it should be a great release and will be the last 1.2.x release (barring any major problems) until version 1.3 is released (which will be focused primarily on importing enhancements).

Thanks for reading!  Look for Prospects 1.2.2 later this week!
