Version 0.53

• General
  • When closing a form with pending changes, it is now made visible prior to displaying the "Discard changes" dialog. Previously, other open forms currently in front of the form being closed would remain in front, making it difficult to determine what changes were potentially being discarded.
  • Corrected handling of a change in field value when reverting to original database value; the change was being ignored and causing some form-specific actions to be skipped.

  • Added report of outstanding checks to Check Reconcile form.
  • Fee Assessment form now properly formats credit amounts when applied from calculated assessment.
  • Check Reconcile form now correctly displays rows in numerical order.
