Announcement

This is a 2.4.16 release, which is a new feature release as well as a bugfix release.

A couple of php 8 problems has been fixed. This release should now be PHP 8 compatible. The following versions has been tested: 8.0.0, 8.0.7, 8.0.12 and 8.1.6.

Please report any bugs/problems found via our Mantis Bugtracker at http://mantis.frontaccounting.com.

Download instructions

In Sourceforge FrontAccounting (http://sourceforge.net/projects/frontaccounting), select
Files -> FrontAccounting 2.4 ->2.4.16.

For Windows users select the zip file. For all other users select the tar.gz file.

Purchase documents

We have changed the purchase order detail line description to be updated with the entered
value from editable description or from the Supplier Description field from Purchase price table.

There are so many options for the description field, so we have to get the po line description
held together with the Purchase Order.

Otherwise all other stuff is handled as before.

FA is backward Compatible with this, so there should not be any problems with printing older
Purchase Orders.

At the same time, we have re-established the option to enter fractions of the purchase price.
Up to 6 decimals can be entered, if needed. But only use this option if needed.

Items and Fixed Assets Attachments

The Items and Fixed Assets can now have Attachments if you need this, and when entering new items,
there is an extra tab for entering Attachments. The operation is the same as for Customers and
Suppliers. You can also use the Setup - Attach Documents for this new option.

Security

FrontAccounting should NOT be used via unsecure http protocol. If you really need this - change SECURE_ONLY constant in /includes/session.inc to false (comment in the file added). Unfortunately this option cannot be added in sysprefs/config.php because the settings are not available before session is started.
