This should have been done much earlier, but wasn't done for nostalgic reasons.
To new users, it didn't make sense that you could just enter an amount, and
revbank would just accept that as "withdrawal or unlisted product". It existed
for backwards compatibility with the very first revbank version, which didn't
have a product list, and which was not yet used with a barcode scanner. You
would simply enter the amount and your name, and there were no further
statistics.
Nowadays, there are statistics that are messed up if you don't use the product
codes. And some people were looking for a withdrawal command, and try 'take' as
that seems closest to it, but which instead transfers money to another account.
Additionally, some texts were changed for improved clarity. ("Enter username to
pay", when withdrawing, was confusing: one expects money back, not to pay more.)
The signatures feature has been "experimental" since Perl 5.20 (May 2014), but
expected to stay. After 8 years I'm ready to take the risk :)
Have added Perl v5.28 (June 2018) as the minimum requirement, even though the
current revbank should work with 5.20, to see if this bothers any users. Perl
v5.28 is in Debian "buster", which is now oldstable.
Bug:
> 2x unlisted 6
Please provide a short description: bar foo
foo: No such product, user, or command.
Fixed:
> 2x unlisted 6

2x {
6.00 bar foo
}
Enter username to pay 12.00; type 'abort' to abort.
This shifts the reader's focus to the messages from plugins, such as the
instruction to enter your username to pay.
It also looks nicer next to the new cleaner transaction overviews.
Was originally added in 2015 (commit bb8652f4ac89a7453394020a472279809413d10f),
but the line and the commit are nowhere to be found. It may have been lost in
a git merge.
