[Update: This page was originally about version 2.5.9, but we found a tiny glitch and released 2.5.10 thereafter. It’ll probably be a few days until 2.5.10 is approved for the Mac App Store, though, so if you need the fix you can use the version for Splasm Store users in the meantime and your data will show up just fine. We’ve listed the details for both 2.5.9 and 2.5.10 because you’ll probably be coming from 2.5.8. Enjoy!]
This update brings some welcome fixes and adjustments, but we’ve thrown in a little something extra. Tax time is upon us and we’re happy to announce we’ve answered a feature request for Category detail reporting. It’s really easy to turn on: as you create or change an Account Summary, look for the new “Group By” option in the Style section.

After You Install
The first time you launch the application, you may be asked to update or upgrade your document. Agree to the update and your document will be ready to work with the update.
If you see a message about a damaged document, please visit http://www.splasmata.com/?p=2855 for details.
If you open the application and your data doesn’t immediately appear, try going to the File menu, down to the Open Recent submenu, and clicking each document there until your data appears. If this doesn’t cure all, don’t panic just yet. There are several ways data can appear missing when it’s either hidden or in another document. We can help with that, so get in touch at support@splasm.com!
