Schmitz Intuit has released [1]Quicken 2016 for Mac 3.5.1 with an improved Reconcile feature, performance improvements in the Portfolio View, and dramatic file size reduction for those with lots of historical data. Intuit also makes some changes to the database structure to support future development. Once you open your database file in version 3.5.1, you won't be able to use it in an earlier version, but the update automatically saves a backup file for us in the old database format that's compatible with version 3.4. The new Reconcile feature emulates the functionality found in Quicken Windows and Quicken 2007 by calculating the beginning balance based on all uncleared transactions, which will result in a more accurate reconcile experience. The update also makes several improvements to 12-Month budgets, fixes a number of issues with the Portfolio View (including a bump in speed and a display change that shows the number of shares up to 6 decimal places), adds the capaability to create Quick Category and Tag reports by right clicking.
