8.5.3

Features

  • The applications now default to the “Secure” evaluation method for new installations.
  • Tools → Find... now lists what was found rather than just indicating the lot, and does not include lots with “User-Defined Information” under the “Lots with any problems” search.
  • GiftVal and CostBasis can now search on lot statuses as well as names and warnings, including unpriced, user-priced, failed-price, and old-price lots.
  • On the Excel (XLSX) export from GiftVal, the Basis Value column now has a sum at the bottom of the report.
  • The default number of lots allowed in a portfolio has been raised from 500 to 1,000.
  • Modern “flat style” message box icons are now used on later versions of Windows.

Fixes

  • File associations (.EVP to EstateVal) are now properly set up at installation time, fixing a regression in 8.5.2.
  • HTML controls now always display their contents properly the first time.
  • When in Demo Mode, Put/Call options and import/export usage reporting now work successfully.
  • Import/export usage reporting no longer sends custom names, preventing unescaped XML entities from crashing the server-side HTTPS POST.
  • Very large portfolio notes no longer overflow memory when XML entities are escaped.
  • Evaluation status icons now properly show the state of lots with adjusted Alternate Date inventories.
  • The EstateWorks export can now export Common Trust Funds, CDs, and Savings Notes.
  • In GiftVal and CostBasis, the label “Estate of:” is now “Portfolio of:”.
  • GiftVal now shows basis values and dates on securities with user-defined values.
