+===== Patch (2025-07-11) =====
+==== Financial Records Export and Bulk Payments ====
+As requested by some Group treasurers, you can now do a Group-wide export of all transactions that affect members' wallets (and the Sections' own wallets).  You can customize the date range, and whether you're just interested in the Top-Up, ScoutBucks or both kinds of wallets.
+You can also do an export from a Section account, but obviously, it won't be a Group-wide export.
+The export is downloaded as either a .xls or .csv file.
+Additionally, there's a faster way to record bulk payments... from the "Manage Signups/Attendance" page, you'll now find an "In Bulk" button above the "Payment" column.  Clicking that will let you record with minimal clicks multiple payments received from members.  The selections are intialized to those that still owe money, and the amount the owe, but the selected members and amounts can be changed.  In the event of an event cancellation (for example) this "In Bulk" interface can also be used to quickly record refunds.
+You can now specify and change transaction dates.  Previously, all transactions had been timestamped to the time they were recorded, but with the goal of the transactions export feature being to allow a treasurer to reconcile ScoutsTracker data with your bank records, it became important to be able to record the date a payment/refund/reimbursement was actually received/issued.
+==== Configurable Start-of-Year ====
+Sections can now choose when their Scouting Year year starts.  Most Sections will still probably want the date to remain in the early fall, coinciding with the youths' return to activities after summer vacation, but others have expressed the desire to have it start on Jan 1st, to coincide with the registration year.
+If you go to "Account" | "Program preferences" and pick "January 1st", then it'll change all instances of "2024-2025" to "2025", etc., since your Scouting year now no longer spans two calendar years.
+Changing the start of the Scouting year, only impacts which events are lumped into which year.  E.g., Does your Hallowe'en Party get included in last Scouting year's events (2024), or this yeear's Scouting events (2024-2025). Additionally, it results in a slight presentation change in the Personal Journey Cards (i.e., whether the cycles are listed as Winter->Spring->Summer->Fall, or Fall->Winter->Spring->Summer.  Note, changing the start of the Scouting year impacts all previous years' Personal Journey Cards.

+===== Patch (2025-08-26) =====
+==== WB2 Scouter Development Cards ====
+The WB2 Scouter Development Cards are now integrated into ScoutsTracker.  Any member who has an active Scouter role in any Section account will see the link to the Cards on the Home Page.  Note, this includes youth members who are acting as Scouters in younger Sections.
+One of the things to keep in mind is that a Scouter's progress through the WB2 Cards is self-assessed, i.e., it's up to each Scouter to decide how comfortable they are with each Card's competency.  In alignment with the Guide, ScoutsTracker allows each Scouter to set their completion status to be one of four stages... ranging from not knowing how to do the competency, to feeling very comfortable with the competency.  But even though there are 4 stages, a Card's competency is deemed to be complete when the Scouter has self-assessed their skill to be stage 3, with Stage 4 being an indicator that the Scouter feels they could act as a resource for other Scouters--indicated by a checkmark with a little plus icon.
+Not all Card competencies use this 4-stage recording--there are some Card competencies that are participatory, that one has either done, or not.  E.g., "Facilitating Winter Adventures" #7 says "I have participated in one overnight winter camp", so the "I know" / "I Can" / "I have" stages are irrelevant.  Those will get marked as complete or incomplete just like normal badge requirements.
+Because all Card competencies are self-assessed, they are never available as Related Requirements.  Each Scouter will have to manage their own progression through the WB2 Scouter Development process.
+Final Note: When verify the content transcribed from the official Guide into ScoutsTracker, it was discovered that the official Guide contained a number of bad, incorrect, or missing links to on-line resources.  These problematic links have been flagged in ScoutsTracker, until they're eventually reviewed and updated by SC.
+==== Inter-Account Wallet Transfers ====
+You can now transfer a balance from a member's Top-Up or ScoutBucks wallet, to their wallet in a different account.  This will be most useful when moving a youth up to another Section.
+This can be accessed by going to "Account" | "Wallets" | "Member wallets" | <name>, clicking "Add Entry" and selecting "Transfer funds to a different Account".  You can then pick from the member's active roles in other accounts.  Alternatively, for the Current Member, you can access this functionality from "Home" | "My wallet".
+Caveat: This only works for active members.  So if a Beaver was moved up to Cubs and marked as no longer active in the Colony, then their wallet information is no longer synchronized and won't be visible under "Account" | "Wallets" | "Member wallets".  Ideally, there should be an option to move up balances as part of the move-up/transfer process, but that'll have to wait for a future release.
+==== Miscellaneous Enhancements ====
+  * Deprecated SRM role, and added CRM role
+  * Added a janitor task to align subscriber event start timestamps
