Version 0.58.0 / 29 May 2022
New: Update of the Eclipse Framework to version 2022-03 and current Java 11 Runtime
This release updates the Eclipse Framework to version 2022-03. This can lead to PP not starting directly the first time. Whenever the online updater updates itself, it can wobble. If there are problems, try restarting PP again. If that does not help, then re-download.
If you use Windows, then it can make sense to use the Windows installer for PP. It sets the permissions on the directory so that the online update should work in the future (i.e. do not run “as administrator” anymore).
New: Rename columns by right clicking on the column header
With this version you can - do I hear a “finally”? - customize the column names. This is especially interesting if the normal name is much longer than the column width. The whole thing works by right clicking in the column header.
New: Column for distance from moving average (SMA)
The new Distance from Moving Average column shows the percentage distance of the current price from the moving average. This could be displayed visually in the price chart before, now there is the simple possibility as a column.
New: More options to create backup files in other directories
All your data within Portfolio Performance is local to you. There is nothing on any server. This also means that you have to take care of the backups yourself. PP always writes two backup files. With the new options you can also put them into a different directory: either you choose a directory, or a directory relative to the current file is always chosen.
Experimental: new binary file format to load and open a file faster
Some of you may have already noticed the option under “Save as…”: there is a new binary file format for Portfolio Performance. With this, especially large files are loaded much faster.
The video compares a 60 MB XML file with the same data in the new file format. As you can see, the file on the right loads significantly faster than the file on the left.
I myself have been using the new file format for my own file for a few months now. That’s why I’m pretty sure it’s stable.
Internally we still work with the same file format. That’s why you can still create the XML file via “File → Export → Portfolio Performance XML”.
Various other improvements
- Improvement: correction of the trading calendars of Vienna, Frankfurt, NYSE
- Enhancement: input of amounts supports also a dot (.) as decimal separator if it is the only separator in the input
- Improvement: securities events can be displayed in the securities performance as well
- Improvement: Optimization of price downloads from Portfolio Report
- Improvement of PDF importers: Baader Bank, UBS, DAB, FlatEx, Trade Republic, Comdirect, Degiro, OnVista

- Improvement: Finnhub quote provider uses updated Finnhub API
Version 0.58.5 / 19 June 2022
New: Discreet Mode hides valuation
With the discreet mode absolute amounts in the table and diagrams are hidden. This makes it easier to post a screenshot with a problem in the forum. Or to exchange information about the asset allocation without directly sharing the total value of the portfolio.
The mode can be activated via the menu Display → Options. Or via Ctrl-G / Cmd-G (G like “Go”) with which you can also quickly jump between views.
Other Improvements
- Improvement: Search for securities also searches on Finnhub.io (if API key is configured in preferences)
- Improvement of PDF importers: Comdirect, Baader Bank, DKB, VR-Bank
Other bug fixes

Version 0.59.1 / 22 August 2022
A “Summer Edition” - not as hot as August itself. Many thanks to @dev-investor who contributed some new feature 
Distance to All Time High (ATH) as a column and dashboard widget.
Both on the dashboard and in the asset statement you can view the distance to the All Time High (ATH) of a security. By selecting a time period you can customize the analysis to your needs: ATH since the Corona crisis, etc.
‘Fees’ and ‘Accumulated fees’ as data series in the statement of assets and liabilities.
You can add the two new data series “Fees” and “Fees (Accumulated)” to the chart in the Statement of Assets.
Browser Dashboard widget - embed any web page
With this widget you can embed a web page on the Dashboard. The feature is experimental for now - let’s see what ideas you come up with. Browser support depends on the operating system. Especially under Linux (unfortunately) problems are reported again and again, but the underlying SWT framework has to solve them.
Widget with the current price of a security
The widget displays the current price of a security:

Version 0.59.3 / 6 November 2022
For most people this is a normal update - the PDF importers are updated.
Currently there is a problem when updating to macOS Ventura on an Intel machines. Then the default pie charts do not work anymore because the embedded browser crashes. With this version the SWTChart pie charts are used as a fallback. They don’t look so pretty, but at least they work.
- Fix: SWTChart pie charts on macOS Ventura on Intel as default
- New: Yuh PDF Importer
- Improvement of PDF Importers: Open Bank SA, ING DiBa, Tiger Brokers, Postbank,
Version 0.59.4 / 20 November 2022
Pie charts under macOS Ventura (Intel) still do not work. The problem seems to be the embedded browser. I am watching the error message on WebKit. With this version, the label placement inside the pie chart is improved (for the SWTChart library)
New: Dashboard widget ‘Ratio’.
The new widget by RomanLangrehr allows you to put two assets or classifications in ratio. In the example here, the securities classified as “equity” to the total portfolio.
Various improvements and bug fixes
- Improvement: pie chart labeling improved (SWTChart library - alternative on Linux/macOS Ventura Intel)
- Improvement: Update of Eurostat URL for inflation data
- Improvement: ‘+’ next to the max drawdown if the period continues
- Improvement of PDF importers: DKB, ING, FlatEx, Easybank, DADAT
Version 0.59.5 / 4 December 2022
New: Portfolio Performance in Polish 
With this update, Portfolio Performance is also translated to Polish. Many thanks to Marcin Wichtowski and Arkadiusz Wojtowicz for this.
When I add new texts or captions, I use DeepL to generate the translations. The artificial intelligence is already pretty good, but every now and then wrong translations slip through. I appreciate any corrections - either on report github (or correct it yourself directly ) or on POEditor maintain the translation or also by email to portfolio dot performance dot help at gmail dot com.
New: Simplified creation of cryptocurrencies
With some restrictions, you can also manage your cryptocurrencies in PP. In principle, you create a security that is supplied with the prices of the cryptocurrency. This also explains one of the limitations: you can track the value, but you can’t use it like a currency and exchange between cryptocurrencies or receive payments.
Further improvements and bug fixes
- Further optimization on pie charts (SWTChart library).
- CoinGecko provider considered rate limit
- Improvement of PDF importers: Postbank, Weberbank, 1822 Direkt, Raifeisenbank, VividMoney, Baader Bank, DKB, Degiro

Version 0.61.1 / 21 February 2023
I love open source. With this version (hopefully) some bugs are fixed that we could find by working together on the code and in the forum. The deadlock is hopefully fixed - but I need your confirmation on that. The CSV data is also exported correctly for postings - very strange bug. And also NAS should respect the write lock and not corrupt the files anymore.
New: Translation into Danish
Thank you very much Arthur Madsen!
