Version 1.4.0 released

Budget Master has had some major changes to it and we are finally releasing version 1.4.0. 

New Web Site

I have now started my own business.  Walltech Software is the new company name and Budget Ace will be the kick-off product for the company.

Budget Master is now Budget Ace 

As you can guess by now, Budget Master has changed to a commercial product.  I have always wanted to start my own company and Budget Ace is the product I am using with to help me in this adventure.  There are many commercial products out there called Budget Master.  To keep my product separate to those, I have renamed the program to Budget Ace.

How much is Budget Ace going to cost?

Budget Ace is a free download, but the download will have restrictions.  There is no time limit, however, there will be parts of the program that will not function without purchasing the product.

Budget Ace will cost $9.99 (USD)

What is in version 1.4.0? 

Version 1.4.0

      Enhancements:

• Documentation
• Ability to password protect budget and encrypt data files
• Allow users to define their own import layouts for importing bank/credit union statements
• Ability to select date ranges for reports
• Sub categories can be assigned to monthly categories 
• Quick cashiering can place cashiered in appropriate month regardless of month user is working in (based on preference set in settigns)
• New button in Detailed Cashiering window allowing a user to send cashiered items to their respective months
• New setting for Monthly Category Spendings graph (Called "Show all categories") when unchecked will not show categoires that have 0 for the budgeted amount and 0 for the spent amount. This can help keep the graph from being crowded
• Other unlisted enhancements 

      Program Changes:

• Program now asks you which layout you want to use when importing statement file (instead of just using what you have selected in Settings
• Paycheck carryover doesn't delete the current paychecks anymore. Rather, it just adds the previous month's paychecks to the ones you already have
• Category carryover doesn't delete the current categories and their spendings anymore. Rather, it updates categories that you already have and copies the ones that don't exist.

      Bug Fixes:

• Problem with some (non-U.S.) currency formats multiplying value by 10 (or just being wrong in general)
• Date incorrect on backup title when program performs automatic backups
• Program sometimes shows error when closing main window if auto backup option is turned on in settings
• Total Spent amount in Monthly Categories is not always correct
• Memo on Cashiered items get messed up when sorting the column. 
• Many, many other minor fixes
