- Added option to store online passwords in the data file when file encryption is enabled
- Added GTE Cybertrust certificate which is used for new American Express OFX server
- Added display of cash balance, number of shares and value of shares to investment accounts on home page
- Fixed automatic entry of new security prices from a non-base-currency investment account

- Internal URL handler now opens http: and https: URLs in an external browser
- Added popup display of splits and other information for the transaction under the mouse cursor when holding down the alt key
- Increased contrast in Net Worth toolbar graph
- Colors for same data sets in pie and line graphs now match
- Visual improvements to graphs
- Updated German, French and Italian translations
- Filter capital gains report by date. Also display a message instead of a blank report if there were no gains for the selected date range
- Income/Expenses thermometer graph now avoids jumping down a level when there is only one category in the thermometer if that one category actually has transactions
- Updated transaction status icons to include an ’s’ showing whether a transaction is part of a split
- Setting the correct exchange rate for downloaded transactions that are initially assigned to categories with a different currency

- Account balance graph now shows average of end-of-day balances instead of the balance after each and every transaction
- If an existing transaction in the register has the same FI transaction ID as a downloaded transaction but the amount is incorrect or the date is off by more than 15 days then assume the transaction ID is incorrect and they are different transactions.
- Fixed alignment of popup calendar when displayed in small windows such as reminder notifications
- Fixed window layout and behavior when adding an extension that does not have a trusted signature

I had to search the support forums to find out what happened to SPLIT TRANSACTIONS. Could you please, please, please, document stuff like this in new releases???

What has happened to Delete Transaction in the new update? Or how do I cancel a transaction while I am entering it? These “buttons” seem to be missing now. Help!

I’m glad someone else has had the same problem. Can I have my old Moneydance back? Cannot function without this delete facility!!

You can always reach us via the support page http://moneydance.com/support (the link is also at the top of every page). Direct email is at support@moneydance.com.
To delete a transaction, just select one (or more) transactions in the register and press the delete/backspace key. To cancel editing, use the escape (ESC) key.

The popup calendar is still wrong in the French version. I am stuck at version 1.5.0_13 because of this, and other issues.

Thank you, that has solved the problem. Moneydance is the best!

Thanks for that tip on Deleting and Cancel. Will try it next time.

You guys Rock! I have been searching for years for a great simple home financial package to use yet has all the things I need in a home financial package and I have finally found it! I have only been using Moneydance for one evening and I was able to move all my transactions etc. from Quicken Windows to my Mac version of Moneydance and setup all my transactions and reporting. The other cool thing I like is that I can use the data both from Windows or the Mac. I will be telling all my friends about Moneydance
Keep up the great work!

It’s hard to believe that Moneydance still does not have the capability to run a report and break it out by various time periods. I need to run a year’s income and expense report by month, or by week. The graphs have a “by month” option. The reports do not. This is basic functionality for any report package.

I would love to be able to batch change the tag field!
