New Release - v1.7.6.0

[Campbell]

Version 1.7.6.0 is now available, which has the following changes:

Holidays (non-business days)
There is a new button in the Static Data tab; Holidays. Clicking this brings up a list, where you can maintain banking holidays:

These are either fixed date (with optional rolling over weekends), or rule based, so you can offset them from a particular point, e.g. from Easter.

I have only added holidays for UK and US, but I would be happy to add more as the default if you let me know what would be appropriate. In the meantime, you can add/modify/delete the holidays as you see fit.

The holidays are used to calculate non-business days, which are used by Scheduled Transactions, to determine when transactions should be entered.

Scheduled Transaction date rolling
You can now specify whether dates should roll on Scheduled Transactions:

Simply click on the button to toggle between the various options. The choices are:

• Do not roll over non-business days
• Roll forward over non-business days
• Roll backwards over non-business days
• Roll to the nearest business day

This gives you greater control over the date the scheduled transactions are entered (e.g. salaries are often paid earlier if their payment date would fall over a weekend, and many debits are delayed until Monday if they fall on a weekend)

Account Owners
Accounts now have owners (account holders). This will typically just be yourself on each account, but if you use Maxim Money to track more than just your own accounts (e.g. child/spouse/company) accounts then you would enter a different name here.

This is useful, as it now automatically assigns the account holder as the payee whenever you transfer money to or from the account. This can then be searched upon, and tracked in charts and reports.
