TinyBooks Pro Changelog

What's new in TinyBooks Pro 10.0.0

Jan 4, 2018
  • This is the first 64-bit release of TinyBooks Pro. All previous versions of TinyBooks Pro are 32-bit programs. As this is written, 32-bit programs are still allowed on the Mac. But, the writing is on the wall. Just like Apple already did with iOS (mandating 64-bit only apps), Apple is hinting that that time is coming for MacOS too. And, TinyBooks Pro is ready. (TinyBooks Pro v10.0.0 now requires Mac OS 10.9.5 and later...Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra and High Sierra.)

New in TinyBooks Pro 9.0.2 (Oct 28, 2017)

  • Improved Exception Handling (when converting old TinyBooks Pro documents to the current format), improved Error Messages and Help Text, fixed Exported and Imported FileTypes, etc. (TinyBooks Pro now requires Mac OS 10.9.5 and later...Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra and High Sierra.)

New in TinyBooks Pro 9.0.1 (Jun 19, 2017)

  • Improved Help Text, improved the Shrink/Restore Comment Field menu item, added a "Toggle: Show OnTheFly or Checkmark Totals" menu item, etc.

New in TinyBooks Pro 9.0.0 (Sep 27, 2016)

  • A VERY MAJOR UPDATE
  • TinyBooks Pro now includes an always-open Peruse Window allowing you to easily peruse all current and past year's documents without having to close the currently open document.
  • This upgrade also includes a Split Transaction dialog, the ability to Lock/Unlock a document (allowing "What if?" questions), a new Locked/Save Indicator, a new End-of-Year Printout (or PDF) for archival purposes, Improved Help Text, Error Messages, Document Conversion, Retina Support, Reports Window, Invoice Printer Window, and more. (Later: And, yes, TinyBooks Pro v9 works just fine with the latest macOS 10.12 known as Sierra.)

New in TinyBooks Pro 8.1.4 (Jun 6, 2016)

  • Improved support for Retina (HiDPI) Displays, and fixed a bug in the New and New With Import dialogs.

New in TinyBooks Pro 8.1.3 (Jun 6, 2016)

  • Added initial support for Retina (HiDPI) Displays and other cosmetic and spelling fixes.

New in TinyBooks Pro 8.1.2 (Jan 28, 2016)

  • Added the Fiscal Month Number (1-12) to the Main Monthly Window. Some cosmetic changes, etc.

New in TinyBooks Pro 8.1.1 (Nov 2, 2015)

  • Modified the method that TinyBooks Pro uses to associate TinyBooks Pro documents with TinyBooks Pro the application itself. Some users when updating to the latest Mac OSX known as El Capitan (OSX 10.11) might find that their old TinyBooks Pro documents, when double-clicked, don't automatically run TinyBooks Pro. This update fixes that problem. (Just run the new TinyBooks Pro, v8.1.1, itself and then quit the program. Your old TBP documents are now double-clickable again. This update also improves the new Monthly Notes feature added in the previous version. Now the Monthly Window Title indicates whether you've added any Notes to the current month.

New in TinyBooks Pro 8.1.0 (Aug 14, 2015)

  • Added a new Monthly Notes feature. Now, each month can include optional notes. These notes might help to explain a transaction when you need more space than the typical Comment field contains. A note might also serve as a reminder to do a certain task in a future month (pay a bill, check the status of some payment, etc.)
  • Also fixed a cosmetic-only problem with the Bottom Line Report dialog, and a spelling error in the Help window.

New in TinyBooks Pro 8.0.8 (Feb 14, 2014)

  • Added the ability to sort ALL months (at the same time) by Date, Comment, PaymentType, Amount, Account, etc. Added a Checkmarks Info display (in the same area as the OnTheFly Totals display) to ease checking, banking and/or credit card reconciliations. Updated Help text and more...

New in TinyBooks Pro 8.0.7 (Dec 12, 2013)

  • Added a new preference to deterimine if, when a TinyBooks Pro document is opened, the month first displayed should be the month closest to the current date, or the month that was most recently modified.
  • Increased the default width of the Reports Window to better show the Amount column, without first having to re-size (widen) the window.
  • Fixed a bug in printed or saved Reports where the Date Range would always show "Full Year", even if it was only a subset of the year that was chosen. (The actual entries listed were always correct as specified.)

New in TinyBooks Pro 7.0.0 (Feb 18, 2010)

  • With this release, TinyBooks version 7 has become TinyBooks Pro. TinyBooks Pro is a completely re-written version of the old TinyBooks from the ground up. The new TinyBooks Pro runs natively on any Intel-based Macintosh running Mac OSX (TinyBooks Pro does NOT require Rosetta Emulation as the old TinyBooks did). TinyBooks Pro v7 includes many new features (such as automatic Bottom Line Quarterly Reports, TypeAhead Comments, Enhanced Backup, and more) but the real news about TinyBooks Pro v7 is that it still retains the same ease-of-use as TinyBooks was always known for. TinyBooks Pro is still TinyBooks, but now it natively includes support for all those little human interface niceties (sadly missing from previous versions) such as easy keyboard navigation, mouse scroll wheel support and more. TinyBooks is much less modal, with easily resizeable windows, and lists that are much more easily navigable.

New in TinyBooks Pro 6.0.2 (Apr 17, 2009)

  • A relatively minor update.
  • Added 'PayPal' to the Automatic Check Popup Menu.

New in TinyBooks Pro 6.0.1 (Sep 4, 2008)

  • Quick Bug Fix Release...fixed bug in new Check# Popup Menu, and a spelling error in the How To Update help text.

New in TinyBooks Pro 6.0.0 (Aug 29, 2008)

  • Added Auto-Comment and Auto-Check features.

  • Added Invoice/Estimate/Statement/Proposal Customization.
  • Improved Multi-Country Tax support (with automatic tax calculations), and much more.

New in TinyBooks Pro 5.0.4 (May 20, 2008)

  • A quick BUG FIX release. With the right, but luckily rarely used sequence of steps, it was possible to put TinyBooks into a mode where mouse clicks would be ignored in the main window. That is now fixed. (This is a bug that has haunted the author for a very long time, and it is a pleasure to squash the bug once and for all!)

New in TinyBooks Pro 5.0.3 (Apr 21, 2008)

  • Added an indication of the Fiscal Year to the top line of generated reports, added a new preference allowing auto sort of transactions immediately upon entry, added a monthly budgets column to the Accounts Dialog and associated reports, etc.
