jGnash 2.36.0 has been released

[Craig Cavanaugh]

jGnash 2.36.0 has been released.

Upgrading is recommend.

jGnash is available from the usual download location.  https://sourceforge.net/projects/jgnash/files/latest/download  

This releases is mostly a bug fix release for use of portable preferences and includes a MT940 import enhancement from Alex Werz.

Command line processing was improved with support in the old Swing interface depreciated.

Also, many releases ago, some old support code was removed that addressed some very old file corruption issues.  What I'm finding is some folks have skipped past releases and this has created issues.  I've reinstated the old support code to correct the old corruption issues.

The detailed list of changes is below.

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig et all,

I am still having trouble trying to upgrade to this version and wonder if anyone can help/suggest ideas.

(a) I complete removed Java from my system (MacOS 10.13.6) and install JDK build 1.8.0_181-b13

(b) jGnashFx 2.34.1 is happily running. File format is .bxds

Tried running v2.36.0 jGnashFx

* UI starts with the last message on command line "[2018-09-17 17:41:44] [INFO   ] {jgnash.uifx.views.main.MainView lambda$checkForLatestRelease$9} Version check performed"

* I open my bxds file but the loading overlay shows for 1-2 seconds and nothing else happens. No change if I run with "-v" on the command line

Tried running v2.36.0 jGnash2

* UI starts fine

* When I load my file the following popup appears

Regards

Pranay

Craig,

Exported to XML and opened in an editor. Found that one of the UUIDs on a security node is corrupted. See attached.

Questions:

(1) Can I just edit the XML to replace this with a valid UUID and the rest will match up?

(2) Are you using this UUID for any other cross reference? I see a lot of "id" cross references but not sure if you also use UUID

regards

Pranay

I decided to go ahead with the UUID replacement as everything seems to work. I could not find the original broken UUID anywhere else in the XML so assumed there was only one place to replace.
