New Features

  • Added a payday transaction template, which uses the jobs specified.
  • By request, removed sub-accounts and sub-categories.
  • Moved income divisions to be parts of a monthly budget. While the editor for income divisions still exists in the same place, one must add a new income division within its parent budget. Then, you can access/edit/finalize the division.
  • Modified internal workings to provide better user experience.
  • Categories now have an optional description.
  • Changed the category editor to better reflect its information.
  • Added Bill Histories. Previously, only utility bills kept a history. However, now bills and subscriptions have histories too. When you use the bill payment transaction templates, it will automatically register the transaction in the history. This allows you to keep track of when you paid a bill. Furthermore, if you skipped a payment, you can skip it in the bill's history. To access the history, simply edit/inspect any bill, subscription, or utility, and select "Inspect Datapoints" or "Edit Datapoints".
  • Added periods to budget entries. Previously, budgets only allowed for spending/savings at the monthly scale. However, not all expenses are calculated this way. Therefore, you may now specify either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly expectations. For instance, if you spend $30 on gas every week, you may now tell Edmund "$30/week" instead of $120 for the budget. Edmund will obtain the monthly cost for you. Note: These time scales only calculate total budget expectations. Edmund will not tell you spending per week, or per bi-week.

Notes

  • Due to visual glitches, the "scroll" mode of the homepage was removed. In its place, users have the option to choose two widgets. This will keep the user interface consistent.
  • On the homescreen, the upcoming bills widget has been redesigned. Now, it focuses more information in the format best suited per platform.

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected visual issues with the "Homepage" title on the homepage.
  • On category edit, the name text entry did not have a visual indication.
  • Fixed footer cramming on the ledger
  • Corrected the bug that, regardless of the user choosing "bill" or "subscription", the add bill functionality always defaulted to choosing "bill" as the kind.
  • On macOS, when opening the budget tool window, the window only displayed "Work in Progress". Now, it shows the correct tools.
  • On macOS, if one used the menu bar's "Ledger" to add transactions, no menu would appear.
  • The initial balance transaction template did not allow negative balances.
  • The budget tool did not add up transactions correctly, leading to inaccurate totals.
  • The many-to-many transfer transaction template did not work as expected.
  • When adding a budget, Edmund would sometimes crash. The issue has been resolved.

What is Edmund Intermediate?

Edmund Intermediate is a version of Edmund that was released before the removal of sub-accounts and sub-categories. During beta testing, it was clear that sub-accounts and sub-categories were too tedious for standard budgeting.

These follow from envelope-style accounting, which has many benefits, but can be complex to start with. Therefore, the decision was made to remove such features. However, these are features that I use personally. Therefore, I released a separate version and then continued developing Edmund.

This version will not be continued. Future versions of Edmund will contain sub-accounts (renamed as "envelopes"), but will approach the feature in a different way.

Since this was released before version 1.1 and all subsequent versions, it does not contain any bug fixes. One notable bug is that the app will crash if the user attempts to delete an income division. Please visit Edmund's Updates for more information.
