====== Release 19.1 - Key Features ======
===== Payment History (with Notes) =====
Historically, you only had the ability to record a single payment per member for any event.  When you edited it, the new value actually replaced the old value, effectively only ever recording the last balance, rather than seeing the history of the payments.

You now have the ability to record multiple payments/remittances per event.  I.e., you can record that a member paid $40, and then paid another $20 a week later, and then was refunded the entire $60.

Additionally you can now specify the purpose/type of each entry in the payment history.  In addition to the basic fee payment/refund, you can also specify that an amount is a categorized expense.   E.g., you can record that a member spent $160 on Food or Facilities Rental or Accommodation or Gas/Transportation, etc.  There are some pre-defined categories, but you're free to type in whatever text you want.

One of the entry types is called "Write off".  If a member quits and leaves you saddled with unpaid amounts, you can now add a write-off entry that will reduce their balance (and that of the event) to zero.  You can add these in bulk, by doing "Zero all balances" for a specific member or your entire section... i.e., it adds a "write-off" entry to a member's payment history for each member/outing that has a non-zero balance.

All payment history entries can have notes.  E.g., you can describe that a payment was received by cash or cheque or e-transfer, or explain the an expense was for "Craft supplies".  It's just a field that you can use to record whatever you feel is important.

This new payment history also applies to remittances recorded for sections participating in multi-section events.
