2. Notification at Startup

If there are unread notifications in AccountsMate they will be displayed at start up to make them more visible.

 

3. Performance Improvements

Static data such as Customers, Suppliers and Products are now cached in the background to speed up the application lookups.

Some known issues have been fixed to improve the operation of the application, e.g.

  • Fixed issue where some columns were duplicating on grids when associated data was being display e.g. Sales/Purchase orders.
  • Fixed issue where the wrong properties was being shown for Sales Orders when first loaded.
  • Fixed issue where the wrong properties were being shown for order lines.
