Hi Fermax and everyone following this thread,
Thank you for your patience and for the thoughtful suggestions—particularly the proposal to open-source the confirmation algorithm. We’ve discussed this and other ideas internally with our product leadership.
After careful review, we will not be able to make changes to, or open-source parts of, the legacy AccountRight Classic software.
This includes the confirmation algorithm related to the read-only file issue.
The reason for this decision is one of focus. As shared in our recent announcement, these products have been unsupported for over seven years. Any development, including open-sourcing components, would require significant engineering effort that we must dedicate to our current, actively supported product suite.
We understand this is disappointing, especially for those who continue to use the legacy software. We sincerely appreciate your engagement and the constructive dialogue here in the community.
Our team's priority remains building and supporting the modern MYOB Business product suite, where we’re committed to delivering the best possible experience for all our customers.
Thank you again for your understanding. Mike (MYOB)
