The system will check all prompts (over one character) and text pop-up boxes for system macro's automatically. You no longer need to specify the tilde character '~'. Individual macro's can be deleted and you can switch off macro checking on a per user basis via access permission 118.

Support has been added for swiping credit cards. The system will validate the card number and expiry date, the card type will be worked out automatically. The current version does NOT support on-line verification. If you want to generate 'credit card slips' then you should set Print_Swipe_Slip to Yes in params.txt. The Receipts will include the payment type and amount tendered automatically and they will no longer ask for start/end dates. You can manually enter credit card details if you do not have a card reader.

Note: The system will check the 1st two characters of the payment type. If they are 'C ', 'D ' or 'S ' they will be taken as a shortcut to Credit card, Discount and Surcharge. Make sure your payment types do not match e.g. 'D Card' will be taken as a discount 'D-Card', 'D/Card' or 'DCard' will all be ok.

The overview is similar to the index page except it shows the day for a range of diaries rather than a specific one. By default the system will display six diaries centered on the one you accessed. This can be over-ridden by setting Diary_Overview in params.txt. From the overview screen you can look at the usage and select the diary you want.
