• Integrated new class for getting data from Yahoo
• Updated the stock data table to work better with new Yahoo data
• Added code to automatically upgrade databases at login
• Fixed bug with password change
• Updated dividend reports:
  • Current year only reports stocks that have paid a dividend this year

1.4.0 Includes various updates:

• Conversion to object-oriented MVC design
• Re-organization of files
• Addition of table sorting, searching and pagination
• Reformatting of charts on overview page for better display
