1.0.3-a

Version 1.0.3-a fixed some horrible bugs caught by tester. It also adds a dialog for password protected Money files.

  • A bug that caused a debug assertion has been fixed.
    • Failing to find a current Microsoft Money installation and other problems that prevented opening a Money file resulted in a null pointer assertion.
  • A bug that caused external quotes sources to fail has been fixed.
    • The bug incorrectly formatted arguments to external sources and MoneyPal, and failed to read and use initial and final double-quotes in the URL Template field.
    • The work around was to use short folder names that contain no spaces in order to avoid using double quotes at the beginning and end of the URL Template field.
    • This bug may have caused problems with the internal quote sources as well. Confirming this will require additional testing.
  • Logging has been enhanced to more clearly indicate problems.
    • Many more function results are logged.
    • To reduce clutter, MoneyPal no longer displays the list of Money file securities unless the log level is 5 or higher.
    • MoneyPal displays and logs quote transactions.
    • MnyUpdate_XXX.log has been renamed MoneyPal_XXX.log, and contains the MoneyPal version info
    • The time stamp portion of MnyUpdate_XXX.log now includes seconds.
    • The File.CSV import method, used by external quote sources, now logs to MnyUpdate_XXX.log.
  • PalOMoney now displays a Sign in to open your Money file dialog to indicate an error code when failing to open a Money file.
    • The dialog accepts a password and includes an Ok option to try again.
    • This dialog appears even if the error is not from a missing and incorrect password.
    • Click Cancel to abandon the dialog, and open the Portfolio window with no file.
    • This dialog will be improved when the password error codes become better understood.
    • This feature is early stage experimental.
  • A cosmetic bug in the example quote source QuoteCSV.py that wrote soft line breaks instead of hard line ends has been fixed.
  • A PalOMoney website bug that caused the Store to download the .msi installer as a DOC file has been fixed.


1.0.3

Initial release for external testing. This software is experimental, which means very much pre-alpha.
