Version 3.8 Released! 3/2/2017
- NEW FEATURE - Now you can keep track of two weekly deductible amounts. this works if you have a weekly bus pass. As always you can negate the amount to convert the amount into a weekly receivable amount. (babysitting, etc).

- Bill names with a zero amount do not show up in the Money Minder window. This allows for a cleaner and easier view.
- The detailed view in the Money Minder window shows the number of each type of bill in the header. For example, the first section allows for up to 13 bills. If you have only five entries, only those entries show up without the other empty bills taking up space.
- The primary account is color-coded blue while the secondary, imported account is color-coded orange. This applies to the Money Minder window for the main account and expandable secondary windows as well.
- General coding fixes.
