8.2.0

Features

  • You can now cut from Excel and paste into the grid! A one-column paste will go in as Identifiers; a two-column paste will go in as Identifiers and Shares/Par
  • Tools → Find... and Ctrl+F bring up a search dialog, allowing lots to be found by their Identifier, CUSIP, name or evaluation status
  • A new preference in Tools → Options → Billing allows for the reverse chronological sorting of billing months and record selection lists
  • Adjusted Inventory items with invalid symbols, action dates, acquisition dates, share/par values, or user-defined information now have those values highlighted in yellow, with tool-tips that explain the problem
  • Adjusted Inventory items with invalid values will either grey out the “OK” button or cause a warning dialog explaining the problem to appear when “OK” is clicked
  • Adjusted Inventory items in the action list with invalid values are highlighted in yellow, and the report they belong to have a warning icon on its tab
  • Lots that contain invalid Adjusted Inventory items are highlighted in yellow, with a tool-tip that explains the problem; if any lots in the portfolio have invalid Adjusted Inventory items (including those scrolled out of view), a warning icon will appear on the Adjust Inventory button
  • If the par value of a mortgaged-backed security does not match the option setting for entry (either because it is a round value and remaining principal is the setting, or because it is not a round value and face-value is set), the lot item number is highlighted in yellow, and a tool-tip explains the problem
  • A new preference, Tools → Options → Standard → Show Evaluation Status, adds a new column to the main grid. When enabled, next to each lot, two icons (one for Date of Death and one for Alternate Date) indicate the evaluation status of the security — an empty circle for unpriced, a green dot for successfully priced, a yellow dot for a successful price that is not for the exact valuation date, a yellow pen for user-defined prices and a red X for an unsuccessful pricing; in the header of the column, icons summarize each column, showing the least-favorable status present for the each report
  • Headline-based progress messages are now longer and more numerous, and start on a random headline, to prevent repetition across multiple evaluations

Fixes

  • Appraisal Reports will now always evaluate the next day even for weekends and holidays, since all its prices are last-close
  • Veterans Day is now properly calculated during 1971-1977 and prior to 1938
  • Bond market closure calculations for 1996 and later now properly ignore Veterans Day when it lands on a Saturday
  • Internet connectivity issues (specifically, no Internet connectivity and the connection being blocked by a firewall) now have much better error messages
  • When using the mouse wheel while hovering over the grid, the grid now scrolls if a field is being edited
  • Report generation slowed down a lot in 8.1.0; it is now fast again
  • The progress dialog is now wider, to accommodate all headline-based progress messages
  • Headline-based progress messages are now more reliably gathered and formatted
  • Exchange rates now have their trailing zeros stripped
  • Securities without a price-currency but with a non-North American security-currency are now billed the foreign surcharge
  • Corporate bonds, municipal bonds and long-term CDs are no longer subject to stale-price limits if the old price is because they have matured
  • CUSIP/Shares import now strips whitespace from around each field, and only uses a comma (instead of a comma or a space) as the field delimiter
