Bank Recon 4.2.949.3024 is available

A bumper release full of fixes and tweaks to existing functionality to make BR even easier to use as well as a couple of cool new features. Bank Recon 4.2.949.3024 can be downloaded from the Twenty57 website. Thank you to Jai for all the development work!

Features

• MT940 parser enhancements - Statement check ensures the current statement is the next sequential statement, Multiple import supported, Parser strips out newline characters in the details fields, all characters in the 86 continuation record are not imported (split over Reference 3, 4 ( and 5 if needed)
• BAI Report - Statement Date included in the statement correctness check to help prevent duplicate imports of accounts which always have a zero balance
• Allow Remove Setting on the Batch Type is honoured when deleting a Cashbook Batch
• Rollback of Bank Statements removes empty statements
• Rollback Cashbook imports has been implemented. Only the last import per definition can be rolled back. This will delete the transactions from any tags, remove all reconciliations and delete all the transactions and batches created as part of the import
• Prevent duplicate Cashbook import running. If there is a process already running for the selected import, the current one won't run
• Manual Recon across accounts process has been enhanced. Instead of creating a balancing entry and reconciliation for every transaction that needs to be transferred in order to make the match, the transactions are bulked and one transaction and recon is made per account. Because Recons across accounts are now linked (since version 4.2.877.2832 from April 2014), you can still easily see what the details of the source transactions are. This has resulted in significant performance gains when reconciling many transactions across accounts
• Additional information fields have been added to the user table (First Name, Surname, Email and Last Logged in DateTime). If you are using Windows Authentication the name and email values will be synced directly from your Active Directory. The Last Logged in DateTime is updated every time a user logs into Bank Recon
• If there is a First Name value for the user, this will be displayed instead of the login name in the Welcome message
• Suggest Configuration settings have been moved out of Site Config and are now accessible by Admins and Site Admins (and other users if they have the appropriate rights)
• SMTP settings are now in the Site Configuration page and saved to the Database rather than in the web.config file. We first check in the Db, if  no smtp settings are found there, the web.config file is checked. If no smtp settings are found at all then user won't be able to email a tag. You need to be using Windows Authentication to send emails from tags
• Included Cashbook Batch Type and Cashbook Transaction Type in the CashbookTransactionUnreconciledView for writing Recon Rules. Both these fields are available in the Easy and the Advanced Recon Rule Editor
• Setup and Admin tables styling improved to distinguish between columns more clearly

Fixes

• Test Import Definitions with >/>= and a Date value now works. Remember, BR always adds on 1 day to the last key value for a Date type when running the process so make sure you don't miss any transactions if you use these operators with a Date Value
• Errors when trying to email a tag have been fixed
• Better error messages are shown when manually reconciling transactions and the Balancing Entry and Transfer Transactions Domain Settings have not been configured. 
• The schedule user now has all the necessary rights to import and reconcile data
• Expanded menu items are not closed when the Dashboard automatically refreshes
• Test Oracle import definitions now working correctly. You need to add the following settings to your config files
• appSettings section of the web.config file: <add key="OracleImporterURL" value="tcp://localhost:8087/OracleImporter" /> 
• services section of the ProcessService.exe.config file: <wellknown type="Twenty57.BankRecon.API.OracleImporterProxy, Twenty57.BankRecon.API" mode="SingleCall" objectUri="OracleImporter" />
• The Framework version check is working correctly on the install. If you don't have .net Framework 4 installed, you won't be able to install Bank Recon
