This format now supports ROW-WISE ledgers also. Previously, only Column-wise ledgers could be used in this format. Here's what it means :

COLUMN-WISE ledgers (Horizontal) 

Ledger1Name	Ledger1Amount	Ledger2Amount	Ledger2Amount
​Sales 5%	​100	Sales 18%	100

PS: Previously, you had to specify each ledger in a separate column.

ROW-WISE ledgers (Vertical)

Ledger1Name	Ledger1Amount
​Sales 5%	​100
Sales 18%	100

PS: Now, you can specify multiple ledgers in a single column.

4. Vouchers-V11-Sales-Purchase-Without-Stockitems-Basic.xls

This template now supports both ROW-WISE and COLUMN-WISE ledgers similar to the Advanced  template as mentioned in the previous point.
