+3.3:  Early Payment Discounts not properly handled
 
-3.3:  Password not set properly for new users with . in username
+Two issues with LedgerSMB 1.3.x were discovered during the LedgerSMB 1.3.14
+release candidate process.  These are expected to be fixed in 1.3.15, but until
+then this feature should not be used.  Due to the severity and obviousness of 
+these issues, it is not believed that anyone is using these features now, and 
+these features are not present in 1.2.x.
 
-Currently when you set up a user with a . in the username, the password is not properly
-set.  The reason for this is unknown and we intend to fix in a future version.
+The first is that the account mappings to early payment discounts are not
+properly saved.  This means that the accounting software cannot find the
+appropriate accounts to store discounts in.  It isn't clear yet whether the fact
+that early payment discounts are also listing as unbalanced transactions is due
+to this or something else.
 
-You can set the user's password in psql using ALTER USER ... WITH PASSWORD '...'; to 
-work around this issue.
+Please don't use this feature until 1.3.15.
 
-3.4:  XLS and ODS download buttons show even if prereqs missing
+3.4:  Missing Annual Daily Straight Line Stored Procedure
 
-Currently the XLS and ODS (Excel and OpenOffice) spreadsheet download buttons show even
-if the prerequisites are not available.  We intend to fix this in a future version.
+Apparently the stored procedure for handling asset depreciation where the annual
+daily straight line method is selected is missing.  More typically, the annual
+monthly method is used.  For now, use that method instead.
 
-3.5:  POS ignores pd_proto
+The differences between these methods do not result in financial differences
+over the course of a year.  Rather they affect how that annual depreciation is
+spread out over the year.  In daily, the year is divided into equal parts per
+day so we depreciate less in February than in August.  In monthly, we depreciate
+1/12th of the annual depreciation amount each month, so February and August show
+the same depreciation values.
 
-Currently in point of sales environments, in some cases, the connections back to the 
-terminal in order to control pole displays seems tied to TCP even when one sets it to 
-UDP.  This can have significant issues regarding performance if this port is not open.
-
-The cause is unknown.  It is believed to affect 1.2 as well.  We expect to fix this
-in a future release.
-
-3.6:  Can't add prices to pricelist from customer screen
-
-Currently the 1.3 pricelist functionality is defective and while new customers and
-vendors can be added to a part, one cannot add new parts to the customer.  This is being
-actively worked on and we expect to finish it in the near future.
