The developers have already said that the plan is to move to a database
backend (embedded last I heard). Assuming the database itself handles
transaction commits and crash recovery properly, much of what you are
requesting will happen. Some accounting programs have the notion of an
audit trail. Every change is recorded (as back out the original and post the
new) , time stamped and in a multiuser environment who
made the change is recorded. Essentially this means that one can produce
the state of the accounting system at any moment in the past. QuickBooks
Pro has such a trail, but it is just a log. There is no automatic
way to back out a series of transactions.
