0.5.0-beta.0

User Facing Updates

Improved Search

• New search helps in navigating with very few keystrokes.
• Examples:
  • To find all the invoices by "Justin", type: "justin sales"
  • To navigate to sales invoice number 2000, type: "sales 2000"
  • To navigate to the Dashboard, type: "dash"
• The order of space-separated keywords doesn't matter.
• The entered words don't have to be exact (∵ fuzzy search).
• The search can be achieved with fewer keystrokes than shown in the examples above.
• Search can be further narrowed by using filters (for the most part they aren't required).

Reports Rewritten

• Reports are now much faster
• Added additional filtering options.

Transaction Deletion

• Transactions can now be deleted after they have been canceled

Create Demo

• Creates demo instance for evaluating the software.
• Instance has several transactions that span the past year.

UI Cleanup

• Database selector and setup wizard use the full-width screen.
• Database selector is a single page, instances can now be deleted from here.
• Cleaned up invoice and journal entry forms and unified their design.
• Added pagination for all entry lists.

GST Reports

• They are now enabled only when GSTIN is set
• These reports are in a separate section

Languages

• Added Spanish thanks to talmax1124.
• Added Dutch thanks to FastAct.

Software Updates

• They now occur automatically when an update is available.
• Why? cause users complain about issues in older versions that have been fixed
  in later ones.

Telemetry

• Simplified the data being sent.
• Removed fine-grained usage tracking.
• Telemetry is not opt-in (it's still anonymous).
• Why? cause if I don't know that people are using Books, it doesn't make sense for me to work on it.
• Note: if this is an issue, you are still free to build books locally, in this case, telemetry won't work.
• Check wiki for
  more details.

Non-User Facing Updates

The main reason for the delay in the release schedule was that the entire codebase was being refactored. For details on this check PR #381.

Since the entire codebase was refactored countless bugs have been ironed out, I've lost track so haven't mentioned them.

A few may have been introduced too, in case you come across them do raise an issue.

New feature: Data Import tool 🥳

• This allows importing master data in the form of csv files.
• How to Use it?

The tool is quite robust. If you have data that doesn't fit the provided template (for example, data exported from ERPNext), you can:

• Select the label row which names your columns.
• Assign the columns.
• Remove rows.
• Edit values in the rows.
• Add rows if required.

If your data conforms to the template, you just have to select the file and click on Import Data.
