A plain-language history of LedgerTB’s public releases

LedgerTB updates preserve existing books and apply any required database upgrades when a book is opened. GitHub release notes remain the detailed technical record; this page highlights what changed for the person doing the accounting work.

LedgerTB v1.5.1 Latest

August 27, 2026

This release makes transaction categorization more reliable and hardens the assistant setup and chart-import contracts introduced around the v1.5 reporting release.

Everyday workflow

  • Editing an account now brings the edit form into view instead of leaving it below a long chart.
  • Assistant-proposed credit-card activity follows the same charge and payment sign convention as a regular CSV import.
  • Repeated processor transactions learn reusable patterns without treating each long transaction identifier as a new vendor.
  • An optional client business-context field gives AI categorization the facts it needs without sending general engagement notes.

Assistant and import safeguards

  • Chart imports document subtype and QuickBooks detail-type fields, report malformed rows individually, and recognize common accumulated- depreciation account names as contra assets.
  • Assistant-created clients receive a complete, repairable fiscal calendar so Close Map is available immediately.
  • Close-package export folders, account lookup, retry detection, and legacy import duplicate checks now have clearer and safer behavior.

LedgerTB v1.5.0

August 24, 2026
  • Income statements and balance sheets can group accounts by curated statement subtype, with explicit Unclassified sections when the chart still needs work.
  • A new indirect-method Statement of Cash Flows ties to cash movement, supports prior-year comparison, and identifies classification or reconciliation issues rather than guessing.
  • Unsaved work, filters, and drill-down state are isolated to the selected client and encrypted book.
  • Parsed statement amounts remain readable beside the editor scrollbar.

LedgerTB v1.4.4

August 22, 2026
  • Book restores hold an exclusive maintenance lock while replacing a book.
  • Import reversals cannot be dated before later postings tied to the source entry.
  • Superseded import rows stay out of the ordinary transaction view and totals while remaining available in reversal history.
  • Interrupted legacy-backup conversions can be detected and repaired safely.

LedgerTB v1.4.3

August 21, 2026
  • A posted bank import can be undone and returned to review without deleting history: LedgerTB posts a reversal and links the replacement rows.
  • General Ledger can hide complete original/reversal pairs on screen while exports retain the full labeled history.
  • Book passphrase rotation and local macOS release signing gained stronger operating-system coordination.

LedgerTB v1.4.2

August 14, 2026
  • Excel and PDF close packages display encoded punctuation in descriptions as ordinary text without rewriting ledger history.
  • Statement-image OCR and the source macOS launcher were updated for current Apple Silicon and macOS compatibility.
