   As stated in the ios 4 sticky thread, 4.08 has some duplicate transactions.

   First, it is not as bad as I first thought. It just effected a fair number of transactions so it was hard to clean up, basically though I did a search for 'auto' in the transactions and it was pretty easy to find most of them. I did however end up making a balance adjustment for a few hundred dollars on one account and I havnt been able to figure out where that money didn't go, so it's a bit frustrating. It's likely to be in there somewhere.

   Second, Akhat mentioned there are some new features in 4.08, and you said you will make a blog post about them, that's great! But can I also ask that you make a new thread for the version and post a detailed change log for the bug fixes and features. I really think you will find the community will appreciate this. It helps us give direct feed back about changes and be more positively involved in the development of Money. Remember that we have made a significant investment in this program as well by using it and trusting it with our finances. We want it to grow and develop just as much as you do.

   And on that note, if you are ever looking for beta testers for new versions I would be more than happy to help.

   Hello trevort. Please hold a little more. I am waiting for a response from the developers.

   Hello trevort. The developers said the issue could have happened due to conversion to iOS 4.0, and the best way to deal with it is to manually clean up the transactions (as you did).

   About change logs - for the current update of Money for iPhone it is the new way to sync devices, and update about QI. We want to launch QI this week, but I am not announcing it yet to avoid problems if something goes wrong. The new way of syncing may work slowly with some devices, and I am currently viewing it as something being tested; this is why did not want to announce it beforehand. Generally it is always a good idea about change logs, but sometimes there are "invisible" changes, which make little sense to annouce and relate to improvement of internal logic of the application. In other cases there are more serious updates, like with QI or syncing, and again here I already have some negative experience with QI when we had to delay its release and that caused a lot of unsatisfied feedback, so currently I think that it is better to hold with announcing anything.

   Not announcing changes/fixes to the application is only making things worse. You make changes to the program, remove features (like custom budget periods) and add new features with out any apparent direction or communication to your users. I for one bought the program for features it no longer provides. Look at the topics in the forums and the feedback on iTunes, its not getting better.

   For changelogs you just need to be more clear

   Version 4.08
   -Fixed iOS4 compatibility problem.
   -Added initial support for Syncing between iPad and iPhone
   -Updated support for upcoming QI Beta 2
   -
   -

   And that's not including fixes like currency support changes, small graphics fixes or text aligning, little things that people ask about in the forums.

   Bugs, changes and fixes are perfectly normal in software development. If you keep track of them in an easy to find way, you will have alot better experience with users looking for help. Instead we just keep getting told that, oh thats been fixed, or its in a future release. Even the people on the forums such as Rika and myself who do want to help cant. We dont have any idea whats going on with different issues, and we cant point people to any useful topics, all we can do is keep answering the same questions.

   I understand that features like QI need to be kept quiet till they are more ready, but there are lots of things that need to be discussed with you by your users if you want to fix your ratings. What problems are you working on, what smaller features are you working on? And I dont mean QI, I mean will you be adding custom budget dates? or a new import/export method perhaps, what about new reports or running totals, will they make it into the program? If so, when roughly? Maybe version 4.5 or 5? are there other issues that need to be worked on first? You guys must have some sort of roadmap for the program.
