Method Budget 0.5.0

Method Budget 0.5.0

A finished sample budget comes with the app: Field Station, an invented feature of about
a million dollars, built from a schedule and ready to explore.

A sample budget to explore

• Field Station opens at the first start. Someone new to Method Budget, with no
  budgets of their own yet, starts in Field Station instead of an empty page. It is an
  invented independent feature on the low-budget feature chart: globals set from its
  schedule's days, fringes with cutoffs, one person paid in two accounts, groups, two
  lines in euros, an incentive estimate, a saved draft to compare against, dated notes
  and actuals through the second shoot week, all adding up to a net of 1,050,288.03.
• Always a fresh copy. The sample opens untitled, marked "Sample" on its tab. Change
  anything you like: nothing is kept unless you save it, and saved as a file it is yours.
• Help > Open Sample opens a new copy any time. Help > Open the Sample on First Launch
  turns the first-start sample off. Anyone who already has budgets of their own never sees
  it unasked.
• The same budget everywhere. The browser demo on the website and the pictures there
  now show Field Station too.

Good to know

• Checksums for every download. Each release now lists the SHA-256 of every file it
  carries in a file called SHA256SUMS, so a download can be checked before it is
  installed.
• Mac builds are for Apple silicon. Windows and Linux builds are included but not yet
  tested by hand.
