This is a minor update based on user comments and suggestions. Most changes are related to the improved vehicles screen, but there are several updates and bug fixes throughout the program:

• Improved Vehicles Screen - The vehicles screen has been reorganized to enhance readability, support a larger photo, and improve access to your vehicle records. New display options allow better control of your records, and the new Find feature makes it easier than ever to locate past fuel or maintenance entries. Records are easier to select, and new features allow you to export or print the records you are interested in.
• Improved Data Entry - The new data entry screens make it easier to enter addresses, passwords, vehicle records, and other data. Screens are easier to read, and clipboard operations have been improved for better copying and pasting between fields or other applications.
• General Interface Improvements - The program window has been enlarged slightly and now adjusts to various screen sizes better. Several issues with the graphical interface have been fixed, and item selection is now more logical and consistent throughout the program. A minor bug has been fixed when opening local HTML files (i.e. the Help document)
• Password Enhancements - The master password is now managed more elegantly to prevent confusion with new users who haven't changed the default. Password entry rules have also been relaxed to improve flexibility and provide a better display.
