v2.8.2 NEW May 2026 Keyboard Shortcut Alignment
- Ctrl+2 now opens Market Data, Ctrl+3 opens Data Viewer — matches the visual tab order from left to right
- 114 bugs fixed cumulatively
v2.8.1 April 2026 Schedule 3 Expenses Currency Fix
- Schedule 3 Expenses column — now displayed in CAD, matching Proceeds and ACB. Previously the column showed the fee in its original transaction currency (often USD for USD-quoted trades), because the report builder read the fee directly from the source trade record before the engine’s currency conversion was applied. The Gain/(Loss) column has always been calculated in CAD using the converted value, so the bottom-line capital gain or loss is unchanged. Re-exporting Schedule 3 from v2.8.1 produces a form where every column reads in your reporting currency
- Scientific-notation values now parse — assets priced below $0.000001 per unit, and CSVs that have been opened and re-saved in Excel, can produce values like 6.37442E-07 in the file. Previously the parser only accepted plain decimal notation, which caused the entire import to fail when a single row used scientific form. All five numeric parse sites in the import pipeline now accept both forms
- 114 bugs fixed cumulatively
