1.7.0 Released

Submitted by LedgerSMB_Team on

The LedgerSMB development team is happy to announce yet another new
version of its open source ERP and accounting application.

This release brings support for multiple exchange rates per currency
per day -- before, only a single rate per currency was supported.
Additionally, a lot of effort went into quality assurance and code
cleanup.

Why does the acc_trans table have fewer lines after upgrading to 1.7?

Submitted by ehu on

Short answer: Due to differences in the database schema in relation to storing foreign currency transactions.

Long answer: The database schema before 1.7 required 2 database rows in the acc_trans table to store functional currency and foreign currency amounts. As of 1.7, the schema stores these two amounts - which relate to the same journal line - into one database row. When migrating data from the old schema to the new one, the migration routine tries hard to identify pairs of rows which can be combined into a single row in the new schema.
