MoneyWorks 6.1

3 May 2012

Note: Some changes are product-specific

Technical changes

• File size limit increased from 2GB to 4GB
• Mac Datacentre server is now 64-bit. This allows it to access more memory (previously database caches were limited to 1GB due to 32 bit address space constraints). Supported architectures are PowerPC 32-bit, x86 32-bit and x86_64 64-bit. Minimum system version is 10.5.8
• Mac Datacentre server now runs with reduced privileges (as user moneyworks_server instead of root). The update installer will migrate existing installations. This change does require that data files be owned by the server user (or at least be staff group writeable). The Datacentre Console will check and update ownership and permissions of the data folder and its contents for you.

New features

• REST API (Datacentre)
• Provides an HTTP/HTTPS-accessible application programming interface making integration with other networked systems much easier, as well as platform neutral
• Includes mobile reporting web app. Run Datacentre reports from your smartphone
• Includes mobile invoicing web app. Enter invoices from your smartphone
• Add your own web/javascript applications that interact directly with MoneyWorks databases
• Added printable copies of the dashboard charts to the reports menu
• GST Report now breaks down by currency (Gold)
• XML importing and exporting (Gold, Datacentre)

Other changes

• Enquiry product code entry fields now more spacious to accommodate long product codes
• Mac versions now always add file extensions to files you save.
• Mac versions now hide file extensions of filename in window titles and menus
• Window behaviour on very small screens on Windows (e.g. 800x600 netbook screens) is now greatly improved. Although note that the official system requirements call for a 1024x768 minimum screen size
• Cashbook now asks to replace a report of the same name when installing by double-clicking
• Navigator now updates GST status after running a GST report
• CLI doreport now takes size param to specify font size
• XML exporting now preserves whitespace as CDATA
• Evened up margins of Balance Sheet report, and improved behaviour of Currency popup when there are no currencies
• We no longer query the Windows address book for auto-filling email addresses (Windows address book dll(s) just too unreliable)
• Prompt Payment Discounts now applied to invoices generated from sales orders
• Open/close period command now persistently redisplays message about single user requirement for the benefit of people who ignore the initial one
• Name.Hold field is now available in Replace/Advanced Replace
• Save a Clone As now clears budgets
• Import data string via AppleEvent had an 80,000 character limit on the string. This limit has been removed (actually changed to a megabyte)
• Tweaked NZ GST Guide: The Mode menu has been replaced by a "Show Documentation" check box, which if checked displays the documentation on the first page and the actual report thereafter. So you will always get a result regardless of the Documentation setting (a source of some confusion).
• Report writing and calculations
• New intrinsic functions CreateSelection() and IntersectSelection() plus new For Each loop variant in report writer that iterates over the result of these functions
• Functions that take a search expression as text now have access to the enclosing scope's identifiers when the expression is evaluated
• Val() function. Takes a text string containing an expression. Returns the result of the expression. This provides a way of deferring the evaluation of expensive calculations on either side of an If function.
• Import() function now returns the sequence number of the last record imported (for tables where this is supported). -1 is returned if the import failed. Note that using this function to import into tables other than USER is very strongly discouraged.
• Report writer Find Ledger part: A relational search expression may now include variable identifiers from the report
• Intrinsic functions that take a search expression parameter now have access to identifiers from the enclosing scope
• Cashflow report setup dialog box now makes it clear that All banks mode operates only on base currency bank accounts
• Duplicate Product now keeps Manufacture and AutoBuild settings
• Sales order process to cash sale now captures payment method/details

Datacentre-specific
