After a lot of hard work, LedgerSMB 1.3.0 is ready for beta testing. Please be aware that this is a beta-testing release and there may be unexpected bugs in places. Some things may not work as advertised. It can be downloaded from the sourceforge page (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ledger-smb/).
Known issues:
--------------------------
Check printing from single payment interface doesn't work. Check printing from the multiple payments interface works just fine. This will take a little more effort than anyone was able to put into it at this point. I expect to get this fixed (if nobody else does it first) early next month.
