MoneyWorks

27 Oct 2021

General changes

• Tweaked Mac installers so that M1 Macs don’t falsely claim that Rosetta needs to be installed
• Product.BuyPrice is no longer updated for inventoried items returned for credit
• Fixed Purchase Order invoice-after-goods processing to allow a negative purchase line to be zeroed for exclusion from the invoice when it has already been processed previously
• Updated to libcurl 7.78.0 on Windows
• Easier access to console log and logs folder (in Help menu). Also the Gold logs are now in their own Logs subfolder on Windows
• Modeless MAPI is optional and only enabled on Windows 10, since it appears to be unreliable on older versions of Windows/Office
• Generic CSV Bank Importer: Now ignores lines where date is empty or amount is empty

Reports

• New Profit and Loss for Date Range Report
• New Tax by Currency Report
• Stock History Report: fixed error when transactions not being shown
• Trial Balance to Date: fixed error for first period of financial year
• Fixed a potential crash in GST Report

Server and networking changes

• Addressed an issue with the number of connected users sometimes being miscounted on Windows servers
• Further sleep detection logic for flaky versions of Windows 10; if your PC went to sleep while network connected and did not tell MoneyWorks, MoneyWorks will now just exit on wake instead of crashing
• REST doreport: optimised for large reports with no output format specified (i.e. plain text output)
• Improved CLI logging
• Server explicitly logs disorderly disconnects
• Optimised the ledger autocomplete cache building to improve performance for data files with millions of ledgers (we do not condone structuring your accounts to have millions of ledgers — that is nuts)
• jpegoptim path is relative for 64-bit install on Windows, instead of hardcoded to the (x86) directory
• Addressed rare server crash on Windows server on client disconnect
• Fixed a potential server lockup when a REST/HTTPS client fails to respond to a TLS shutdown
• If a REST worker encounters a database lock, it will now fail instead of potentially retrying forever
• Datacentre Console now indicates users whose connections appear to be stale ahead of them being disconnected

Scripting improvements

• Fixed Before:F_REPSETUP being sent twice if the script handler takes a long time
• New Timestamp function provides formatted timestamp with milliseconds
• New WaitMilliseconds function for programmed script delay
• Fixed script syntax colouring when first line is a hashbang (#!)
• New Standalone scripts (hashbang mode) can receive command line arguments (in __args[])
• Setting B_NEXT to true in the product entry now saves the record and advances to the next one as expected
• Removed some outdated info from the command line tool man page
• Message.StartDate is now mutable by ReplaceField()
• Regex_search: Fixed spurious runtime error when search string is empty
