LOAN AND MORTGAGE HISTORY ------------------------- Copyright (C) 1997 - 2005, FELITEC Inc. This file contains a list of changes made to Loan and Mortgage since its first publication (version 1.0). Version 2.2 (2005/03/11) -------------------------- Improvements: - Added 'note' field that allows keeping some notes about any installments in a table. - Added 'Check for updates' option under the 'App' menu. - Added instructions to create a simple interest table in the help file. Fix: - The date fields in the 'Accumulations' section of the report are not wide enough to print properly on some printers. Version 2.2 fixes this problem. Version 2.15 (2003/09/21) --------------------------- Fix: In the Amortization details page of the Table Setup dialog, moving from field to field using the keyboard's Tab key does not happen in the right field sequence. Version 2.15 fixes this problem. Version 2.14 (2003/09/19) --------------------------- Fixes: In some older versions of Windows, if two or more tables are maximized at the same time then some of the system options (to minimize, restore or close a table) are disabled. Version 2.14 fixes this problem. In the Modify Installment dialog, changing the nominal rate without usign the up or down button of the nominal rate field results in the change not being honored by the program. Version 2.14 fixes this problem. Under specific circumstances, the caption bar of a newly created or newly opened table may appear in a position on the screen where it is unattainable by the mouse, making it impossible to move (drag) the table to a different position on the screen until it is selected again through the Windows menu. Version 2.14 fixes this problem. In the Table Summary report section, the amortization Duration sometimes prints outside the boundaries of the Table Summary box. Version 2.14 fixes this problem. One instance of the word 'Summary' and two instances of the word 'Installment' were misspelled in prior releases of version 2. These spelling mistakes were fixed in version 2.14. Version 2.12 (2003/09/03) --------------------------- Fix: In Loan And Mortgage version 2.0 and 2.1, the command to create a new table works only on computers where the decimals and thousands separators in the Windows Regional Settings are set to the decimal point '.' and the comma ',' respectively. Version 2.12 fixes this problem. Version 2.1 (2003/08/20) --------------------------- Fix: In the 'Table Setup' dialog, when changing the kind of amortization induces a change of compounding frequency, the interest factor should be recalculated automatically but is not. Version 2.1 fixes this problem. Improvement: Program interface now supports Windows XP style. Version 2.0 (2003/03/01) --------------------------- Improvements: Support for multiple interest rates on the same table. Ability to change the date of any installment and see ensuing results. Ability to modify the installment amount and/or the interest rate of one or many installments at once and see ensuing results. Ability to completely remove one or many installments at once and see ensuing results. Support for semi-monthly installments. Support for semi-monthly compounding. Support for month-end installments. Save and retrieve preferred table setups (templates for creating new tables). Selective accumulations report (by month, quarter, half-year, year and/or global). Table password protection. Preview reports before printing. Compute unknown value (Present Value, Future Value, Installment amount, Nominal rate, or Amortization duration). Copy partial/complete lists to clipboard for pasting into other applications such as Word or Excel. Export to CSV or XML. Version 1.1a (98/02/20) ------------------------- Fix: Some commands did not work properly when the short date format of the Windows environment regional settings uses only 2 digits for the year (e.g. yy/mm/dd). Version 1.1a fixes this problem by forcing 4 digits for the year regardless of the short date format in the Windows regional settings. Version 1.1 ------------------------- Improvement (option replaced): Table|View/Hide Summary option replaces the Table|Summary option Improvements (new options): File|Export to CSV option Table|Balance as of... option Table|Recalc options (Loan Type, Loan Amount, Interest rate, Compound frequency and Interest method) Table|Duplicate option View|Speed Bar option Help file corrections: The Help file has been completely reviewed and now includes a few more problem examples in the "How to..." topic. Version 1.0c ------------------------- Fix: On certain machines only, the program returns the error message 'Invalid registration file!' on startup and then exits. Version 1.0c fixes this problem. Version 1.0b ------------------------- Fix: Improper positioning of the report first line if the user did not specify a company name during the installation. Version 1.0b fixes this problem. Improvement: Possibility to change the font used in the printed report as well as the report title itself by changing the values of the 'FontName' and 'Title' identifiers in the 'Report' section of the LAM.INI file created during the installation of this version. Version 1.0a ------------------------- Fix: In version 1.0, the fonts scale did not fit properly on some monitors where the Windows display setup was set to use large fonts. Version 1.0a fixes this problem. ====================================================================
