The LedgerSMB development team is happy to announce the first release of a new release branch: 1.8.0. This series features a wide variety of new features, improvements, bug fixes and cleanup. To name a few:

* Support for in-database logos and images for inclusion in printed documents; this improves support for customized document templates inside docker containers * Authentication now uses encrypted cookies instead of HTTP Basic authentication which improves support for logging out and improves security * Support for OFX bank statement imports for reconciliation * Faster loading of the menu and GL account drop-downs * Fixed LedgerSMB 1.2 and 1.3 migrations as well as SQL Ledger 2.8 & 3.0 * Fixed incorrect discount calculations for transaction dates <> 'today' * Fixed single-entry timecard support (which was broken since 1.4)
