Version 3.7.1 · Updated September 8, 2026
• Fixed a bug where editing a recurring transaction's amount with "this and all future" could change the amount on other unrelated recurring transactions • Recurring transactions are now correctly identified by payee, so different bills/debts on the same account no longer interfere with each other
