Version 5.5

Version 5.5 of Earnings Tracker has just been released (March 2009), and concentrates on improving the usability of the software.

In previous versions of the software, values that very rarely change, for example, the corporation tax rate or VAT rate, were set up as 'static' data, which were not visible when a month was added or edited. In version 5.5 these are instead called 'default' values and are displayed (and can be edited) when a month is added or edited. This eliminates the risk of adding or editing a month with the wrong static values set.

If you are using a previous version of Earnings Tracker, you can upgrade to the latest version. See the download page for more information.
