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!

Version 0.63.0+1 / 4 June 2023

New: Dashboard widgets to evaluate earnings (dividends and interest)

On the dashboard there are a few new widgets to get an overview of dividends and interest. New are the small charts by month, quarter and year. In addition, there is a new overview of the bookings. In the dashboard you can interactively switch between years.

In the dialog for creating a new dashboard, you can now also select a template that has a few of the widgets directly in the belly:

Version 0.64.0 / 17 June 2023

New: Annual overview of earnings (dividends and interest) with distributions per month

Under “Payments” there is a new overview of monthly postings. Usually you select dividends or interest payments, but of course this works for all transactions like taxes and fees as well.

In the lower information area you will see the matching entries when you click on a month. You can open the information area as before with Ctrl-L or Command-L (depending on the operating system). The bookings are also shown in the tooltip when you move the mouse over the month.

The information area can also be opened via the menu:

Improvement: tooltip at the yields use the whole screen and always show the total line

With a lot of dividends and interest, the previous tooltip did not behave well. With this version, the tooltip uses the whole screen to show as much data as possible. And if this is still not enough, the tooltip will make sure that the sum row will be displayed in any case.

In addition, the details are also displayed at the bottom of the information area. This list is then complete, can be sorted, and has context menus to trigger further actions.

Other improvements and bug fixes

  • New: Update of the Eclipse framework to version 2022-06
  • Improvement of the PDF importers: Santander Consumer Bank, FlaTex, Selfwealth FNZ, sBroker

Version 0.64.2 (+0.64.3) / 14 July 2023

A summer update with a few new functionalities and bug fixes (Yahoo Finance to download the latest price should work again).

Filter configurations are now stored in the XML file

Filters can be used to group any accounts and deposits together and filter all postings by these accounts only. Previously, these configurations were not stored in the file itself, but in the settings (i.e. the “settings” file). With this update, they will be migrated to the file. This makes it easier to synchronize the configurations between computers and to edit them better (until now you had to re-add a data series based on a filter to the charts after each change - this is no longer necessary).

If you use PP on multiple computers with the same file, the filters will be imported from the computer where the file is opened first with the new version.

New: MACD indicator in the price chart

MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator. User daveln has added MACD as an indicator to PP. Thanks a lot.

New: the Measurement Tool is now active for everyone

Until now, the Measurement Tool was hidden behind the “activate experimental functions” button. It is still slow on some computers, but seems to be good enough for most installations.

In the chart with historical prices, you can activate it via the toolbar or the context menu:

In the other diagrams it is also available from the context menu:

Various improvements and bug fixes.

  • Improvement of PDF importers: LGT Bank, sBroker, Bondora, FlatEx, Trade Republic, Vanguard
  • Improvement: More possibilities to create new instruments (securities, crypto currencies, etc): via keyboard shortcut Ctrl-N, via the (+) symbol next to “Securities” in the page navigation

  • Fix: New securities are now created in the reporting currency when the provider does not provide currency information.
  • Improved PDF importer for GENO, sBroker, FlatEx, FFB, DKB, Deutsche Bank.

Version 0.65.0 / 14 August 2023

Introducing a new “crosshair” tool available in the price charts

The new “Crosshair” tool can be used to mark and evaluate the exact coordinates in the course diagram. Many thanks to @OnkelDok for this (and other) contributions.

Improvements when importing data from PDF documents

  • New: Suggestions of providers for historical prices for freshly imported securities from PDF or CSV files
  • New: Newly recognized securities can be assigned to existing securities during PDF import

The following video shows both features:

  • First, a PDF file is imported. But the security cannot be matched by ISIN, WKN and other properties. In the import dialog you can fix this directly.
  • If a new security is added within the importer, PP now tries to find historical prices for it. In the first step Portfolio Report is used. It searches for ISIN, WKN or ticker symbol.

Pie chart of earnings (dividends, interest) by taxonomy

There is a new widget on the dashboard: the earnings of a period can be displayed grouped by classification in a pie chart. This doesn’t make sense for all taxonomies, but I found it interesting to see how dividends and interest are distributed between risky and non-risky assets.

For example, here is an analysis by region:

The widget can be found under Income → Earnings by taxonomy:

New: Added support for PDF bank documents from Sberbank Europe and BISON

@Nirus continues to expand Importer support: with this release, Sberbank Europe is supported. Many thanks for that.

Also newly added are the info reports of the BISON app. This allows to import the crypto transactions. The cryptocurrency is detected by the symbol ticker. If it is not found, a new cryptocurrency with Coingecko rate supply will be created.

Various improvements and bug fixes.

  • Improvement: Date format is now automatically pre-filled during CSV import based on the current language setting
  • Improvement: CSV import now supports scientific notation for numbers
  • PDF Importer Enhancement: Expanded support for Raiffeisenbank, eBase, FlatEx, Quirion, Geno Broker, LGT Bank, and PostFinance

  • Fix: Filter options are now properly applied when opening the list of all transactions

New: Display the number of shares held in the historical price chart

There is a new data series “shares” in the historical price chart - it shows the number of shares held over time. Have you ever reduced your position before the price really took off? Or increased the position before a phase of sideways movement? It’s not just about when you invest, but also how much.
