This release adds a relatively seamless software update capability. When the user selects “Check for Update…” under the FolioCalc menu, a check will be performed via the internet for the most recent version that is newer than the running version, if any. If there is a newer version, the latest release notes will be displayed and the user will be given the option to download and install the update. Once it is installed, the user will be given the option to terminate and relaunch with the newly installed version.Also, in preferences, the user can choose whether or not FolioCalc will automatically check for updates whenever the application starts up. This is initially turned on, and is recommended to keep up with the latest features and bug-fixes.For the curious, most of this functionality is provided by an open-source Framework called Sparkle, and required relatively little code to implement in FolioCalc.

This release includes some enhancements to QIF import and text input error checking and some bug fixes. Here is the change log for 0.9.10 (copied from the Readme file):

• Enhanced QIF import for savings accounts to automatically create a new savings investment if no one currently exists with that name.
• The “Done” button on new transaction and preferences panels will now be grayed out if any fields are not filled in.
• Fixed a bug where the trailer row was not being refreshed when a table column was moved.
• Fixed a bug where URL redirect requests for stock data were not being handled correctly.
