• Form.addDataEntry() (code changes 19.01.05) — forms4.py can now skip between rows of the Partners table. The navigator looks primitive, but I'm glad that it works.
• lino.forms : data grid and sata entry forms work (code changes 18.01.05) — Wow, lino.forms advanced more than I expected for today:
  forms3.py : a first data grid
  forms4.py : a first data-entry form (navigator not finished)
