Budgero v1.6.1

This one is almost entirely built from your feedback — every report below came through this board. Keep them coming.

Category memory for payees

When you add a transaction for a payee you've used before, the category now pre-fills with whatever you chose last time. It's marked with an amber ring so you can tell it apart from rule autofills — explicit Autofill rules still take precedence, and anything you pick yourself always wins. Applies to manual entry only, and you can toggle it off under Settings → Automation Rules.

Mass-delete payees with checkboxes

Manage Payees now has checkboxes: select any number of payees — or hit "Select unused" to grab every payee with zero transactions in one click — and delete them in a single confirmed action. The confirmation tells you how many transactions are affected, and the whole batch is one undo step.

Imports now use the date from your file

Fixed the bug where imported transactions all got stamped with the import date. Date columns carrying a timestamp ("31/01/2024 12:30") or compact dates ("20240131") now parse correctly, and when a date genuinely can't be read, the preview says so on the affected rows instead of failing silently.

+ and − in import files decide add vs. spend

A single Amount column has always routed by sign, but several formats lost the minus on the way in — "$-54.20", the Unicode minus signs PDF statements produce, and the European whole-amount style "12,–". All of these now import with the correct sign, so spending no longer occasionally lands as income.

Self-hosted update notifications

Your server now notices when a newer Budgero release is available and shows a banner in the app. The check is anonymous and can be switched off entirely with UPDATE_CHECK_DISABLED=true.
