June 9, 2001
-added support for multiple company spin-offs.  Upgraded Merger support.  You can now execute a merger where cash per share is given in lieu of stock.  You can also execute a merge of two companies, even when you already own both of them.

-slight terminology change to avoid confusion.  Investment Classes now called Investment Groups.  Categories now called Industries.

April 27, 2001
-when submitting Dividend Reinvestment transactions for DRIPs, a fee or commission would periodically be submitted even though you indicated none.  This would likely happen if there were a previous Buy transaction with a fee or commission and a subsequent Reinvestment transaction without one.  **You may want to review your Reinvestment transactions and verify this did not happen on some of your transactions.  If it did, simply edit the transaction and remove the fee or commission that was mistakenly added.

-when executing a merger, the default account type was always Mutual Fund (though you could always change it).  Now it matches the 'parent' in the merger.

-the custom view on the Transaction screen for DRIPs and Stocks now always has the right-column defaulted to Share Balance.  This will help avoid confusion about how the Share Balance is affected through purchases, sales, and splits.

April 12, 2001
-when submitting a Reinvestment transaction, the Description would say that the dividend was 'Tax-Exempt'.  Though it wasn't treated that way, the description is confusing.  It has been fixed.

-when submitting a purchase, you enter the number of shares and the price.  Sometimes the total Purchase Amount doesn't match what's on your statement.  If the company doesn't report enough decimals on their statements, the number may be off by a few pennies.  We now allow you to adjust the Purchase Amount before submitting.  Since the numbers still won't quite multiply properly, a window will pop-up suggesting that the Price per Share be slightly modified to appropriately deal with the small discrepancy (this is the appropriate action to take...for tax purposes).

-cleared up the cause of an error message that would periodically pop-up while in the process of Editing a transaction.
