First impression is positive.

The linux installer is very nice

The problems with the GST/VAT calculations seem to be fixed.

I don't know that I like the pop-up calendar. I guess some people would
find it useful.

It would be nice to have the buttons at the bottom of the data entry
screen (record, Cancel, Delete, Splits,Show other side)
returned ,perhaps as a pop-up or perhaps an option.

Overall, it seems very good.

Thank you
