Ok I have not seen the changes because I have not updated since July. I am waiting on Lubos to fix the issue with customers and suppliers showing in the contact field on the new payments/receipts instead of in the new payee/payer fields that have been created. Otherwise I will need to do some kind of find and recode operation.
I am looking forward to seeing these options for Bank reconciliation because that functionality was lost before I started using Bank Recon.
