Web Release Notes: July 7th, 2020

Happy week after the 4th of July! We released a big (BIG!) revision to goals a couple of weeks back. Well, we uncovered a few issues as you all got in and got your goals on. Like where, in some rare cases, future goals could tell you to budget the wrong amount in the current month, which is especially not helpful. In today’s release, we fixed a few other issues to go alongside our extensive goals fixes:

• As some of you are aware, we use Ember for our front-end JavaScript framework for YNAB. In this release, we’ve upgraded Ember to version 3.9 which contains various security fixes, reduces file size and improves the performance roughly by 6% on the Budget and by 32% on the Register. Those are performance updates that will make YNAB smoother and faster!
• We fixed a bug that was making it so that users weren’t able to set goals during the getting started steps in YNAB.
• We fixed an issue where users weren’t able to close the Budget calendar picker. SIDE NOTE: Being constantly reminded that the date won’t go away is the most 2020 thing ever.
• And, as always, some under the hood work where we don’t need to bother you all with the details.

API News

• The API now allows split transactions to be categorized to the Inflow: To be Budgeted category
