Note: For this to work correctly, you will have to set any home talks that are 1000 to 9999. You only need to do this where there is an away talk only. The program does this automatically for any new talks. If you don't make the change, you will be warned about unassigned home talks when there is actually no home talk.

2.0 (MAY 2006)
- The Away/Home Talks maintenance page has been modified. The calendar now shows any assigned dates in bold text.
- The Maintain Databases property sheet has been modified. If your display settings are set to a screen resolution of 1024 or higher, you will see higher resolution property pages. The Congregations and Public Talk pages are noticeably different but it is hoped that the higher resolution pages are more intuitive. So, if you display settings can support a resolution of 1024 or higher, it is recommended you use this setting. Note that the help topics still show to legacy resolution dialogues.
- Import and Export on each maintenance property page now support comments. Any line of text starting with a semi-colon ; will be ignored during importing. When exporting, the heading lines of text (usually the first line of text in the file) are now written out as comments.
- The program now supports a Dutch interface. This includes the program database, context help and installer. Much thanks to a brother from the Nederland's for all his hard work in translating the text into Dutch and testing it.
- There was a bug on the Create Unassigned Entries window. It was always creating new records from today onwards instead of the chosen start date. This is now resolved.
- Custom background images can now be tiled, stretched or centred. Previously, all custom backgrounds were tiled and for some images this was causing an undesirable effect.
- The summary information displayed on the Home/Away maintenance page has been changed. The theme and talk number is now displayed for all away talks.
- The Find / Find Next behaviour of the Home/Away maintenance page has been changed. The program no longer displays the located entry in edit entry mode. This means you can repeatedly click Find Next until you find the required entry.
- The start-up panel has been revised. It is now thinner, with the icons above the text and it is now a dockable toolbar. A new option has been added to the View menu too.
- The Congregations maintenance page has been modified. You can now change the congregation sort order to Last Invited.
- You can customise how dates are displayed on standard reports. You must specify a format string on the General Preferences property page. The format string behaves in the same way as for dates in custom report scripts. Full details are provided in the help. Note that Away Talk Slips still use the full date irrespective of this setting.
- Minor bug fixes.
