What's new in v26.22

We’ve got a few more quietly satisfying upgrades to transaction entry this week! Inflows that import to checking, savings, or cash accounts already default to Ready to Assign. Now manually entered transactions will, too! We made the animation clearer so that when you record credit spending, the movement of money  from your spending category to your Credit Card Payment category is even clearer.  And splits in the new transaction editor got a little less fiddly: you can now add a transfer leg to a split with just one category, so things like a grocery run with a little cash back no longer need a throwaway placeholder.
