Never one to leave well enough alone, i bring news of yet another revision of my humble personal-finance tool. While not as extensive as the last update, SpendThrift 719a comes with some useful new functionality as well as bug fixes and significantly improved spit and polish (i hope). Personally, i eat my own dogfood, and use it to keep track of my finances, and my own observations have driven the improvements and bug fixes.

The major new functionality here is the Line Graph tool, which i find terribly amusing. In case you were wondering, the preponderance of graphs and charts is somewhat inspired by SimCity. Apart from that, though, i think i'm running out of things to add. Feel free to submit any suggestions, but otherwise, barring any horrifying bugs, i think i'm going to give it a rest for a while and concentrate on finding a job or something. Oh, and for Jaguar users, you're probably better off using something else. It doesn't crash on startup anymore in Jaguar, but it also doesn't exactly work great. Or look good. Don't hold it against me too much; it's hard for me to find a machine to test on. But it's great in Panther, honest...

Source code: i'm not going to bother putting it up, but suffice it to say that if anyone has interest in it, they're welcome to it.
