Another big release for Investaware. Better handling of position adjustments (such as stock dividends) as well as improvements to the user interface (you can now click on an investment listed within a summary and the app will show all the details of that investment -- pretty cool).

Here's a detailed list of the changes: * new embedded help file, * improvements to the cleaning/handling of XML within the Quicken import, * improved lookup for ETFs (now uses www.eft.com), * added support for performance adjustments for stock dividends, * refactored summary screens for better user experience and the ability to drill down to listed investments, * improved support for dark mode.
