See the v8.0 release notes for new features in v8.
As is tradition, the big upgrade gets the usual flurry of little fixes. This list includes bug fixes from 8.0r1-r4 as well as fresh and important fixes for 8.0.1.
Important bug fixes
- Fix loss of precision when storing and converting unit conversion multipliers for stock from v7
If you buy and sell stock in different units, and converted your data file using 8.0 prior to 8.0.1, please check your Unit Conversion values. Some values may have introduced some rounding error (the unit conversion factor you enter to convert buy units to sell units is actually stored as a reciprocal, and the new database format was initially storing this with insufficient precision. From v8.0.1 more precision is used for this value) - Fix exporting of very small and very large numbers to XML
- Fix issues with corruption of user settings on Datacentre
- Fix display of disabled Next/OK buttons on Windows
