KMyMoney 4.6.0 released
We are happy to announce the release of KMyMoney version 4.6.0, the next stable version, after 11 months of development from the first release of the 4.5 series.
Some of the highlights since the latest stable version:
* New CSV import plugin
* The application is translated in 36 languages (Bosnian and Uyghur added)
* The user documentation is available in 7 languages (French translation added)
* Many fixes for the OS X and Windows platform
* Performance improvements (although we know there's still work to do in this regard)
* Many fixes in the import and online banking modules
* Over 100 bugs have been fixed since the latest bugfix release alone
* Since the OFX institution listing service run by Microsoft (TM) stopped working, we switched to the service run on http://www.ofxhome.com which is provided on a voluntarily basis by Jesse Liesch. With his support it was easy to make the switch in KMyMoney
* Added Serbian Dinar as a standard currency
* Allow entering an interest rate with three decimal places when editing a loan
* Improved wording when transaction editing is canceled by selecting another transaction in the ledger
* Make FID an optional field during definition of an OFX account mapping
* Allow to base the payee name from either the PAYEEID, NAME or MEMO field in an OFX transaction

Stable release for KDE platform 4
The KMyMoney is pleased to announce the release of a stable version for KDE Platform 4. With over 15 months of development, this new version is the starting point of a new series of KMyMoney versions to leverage the stellar features offered by the KDE Platform.
Throughout this effort, our focus has been to maintain feature-parity with previous versions, maintaining and improving the high level of quality that your personal financial data deserve. This version has gone through an intensive testing, allowing us to find and fix many bugs and improve the usability of the application.
Along the way, we did manage to add some new features:
- Better documentation
- Works with the latest version of AqBanking
- Improved usability of the online banking features
- Uses KWallet to store online banking passwords
- The consistency checks runs automatically before saving your data, it now checks for a wider range of problems, and it automatically corrects many of them.
- Runs in all operating systems supported under KDE
For the last year, our team has been fully committed to release this version. Now, we will continue to make KMyMoney the best personal finance manager by leveraging all features provided by the KDE Platform, and also improving the integration with other applications via Alkimia, the nascent framework of the KDE Finance applications group. Expect interesting features coming your way soon!

KMyMoney announces release candidate for KDE4
After a year of hard work on a version for the KDE platform 4, the KMyMoney team is happy to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate. Unlike previous versions, this one is recommended for general use. The feedback provided by previous beta releases makes us confident that it is as stable and rock-solid as previous stable versions.
Throughout this effort, our focus has been to maintain feature-parity compared to the KDE3 stable version. We know that many of you keep using KDE3 for the sole purpose of running KMyMoney, so we devised a plan to produce a version for KDE4 as fast as possible and at the same time keep the high level of quality that your financial data deserves. If you upgrade to this new version and you notice no changes, other than some style eye-candy here and there, we can say we fulfilled our goal.
Over the last 5 months, 4 beta versions were released, putting our developers, translators, packagers, and those of you brave enough to test it, under a big stress. This has payed off, allowing us to uncover much of the strength and weakness of this new platform, and even finding bugs in the current stable version.
This release candidate is not the end, but an important milestone in that plan. The final milestone will be the release of a final stable version together with KDE SC 4.5 in August. After that, we'll point our efforts to add new features and get the best out of this new platform.
We did manage to add some new features along the way:
* Works with the latest version of AqBanking
* Runs in all operating systems supported by KDE
* Runs natively on the KDE4 platform
* The documentation is better, even if we know it still needs more work
A lot of effort has gone into finding and fixing bugs. However, we need your feedback to make the stable release the best ever. Please try it and let us know if you find errors, a missing feature or even just annoyances.
Feel free to open reports on https://bugs.kde.org and assign them to the project called 'kmymoney4'.
At the same time, we provide a maintenance release for the stable KDE3 code. Version 1.0.5 includes fixes to bugs we found during the development of the KDE4 version and which we simply backported
Thank you!

KMyMoney second beta for KDE4 now available
The KMyMoney Team is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 3.96 of KMyMoney. This is the second beta release for the KDE4 platform, after only 1 and a half month of hard work, stabilizing and fixing bugs found during the first beta release.
This version is still considered beta and not recommended for general use. As with the previous version, the intention is to get feedback from the community and find those issues that are not immediately apparent.
Some of the improvements included in this release are:
- Compatibility with KDE SC 4.4, after an unfortunate bug in our previous release that made it impossible to compile in that setup
- Better integration with the Qt4 version of AqBanking, and an arrangement with AqBanking to have the Qt4 version more easily available
- Integration with KDE Calendar libraries, for a better local holiday support
- Improved handling of GPG-related errors
- The main view now has three different navigation modes: the traditional left navigation bar, a tree, and tabbed windows
- Charts have been improved and several features which were missing in the previous release have been added back, and some that were not present in the KDE3 version
- Over 30 bugs have been fixed for this release alone and only 8 bugs remain open at this point. We thank the community for the reports and we expect to see more reports (and hopefully more fixes) after this release
- Several custom widgets have been ported to be fully Qt4-native. This means not only an aesthetic improvement, but also a cleaner and more maintainable code, which has already helped us solve some bugs along the way. Plans are already being laid out to extend this effort to all the remaining widgets in subsequent releases
- Better build management, thanks to the feedback provided by the packagers of many distributions and platforms
- Documentation is now available in more languages (Italian, UK English, and Brazilian Portuguese, among others) and a Valencian Catalan translation is available for the user interface
For this and coming releases, at least until hitting a stable version, we have adopted a quick release cycle, comprised of 4 weeks devoted to the big changes and fixes, and 2 weeks to stabilizing and translating. We believe this will help us find bugs more quickly and improve the feedback, while still having enough time to work on bugs and new features. This means you can expect a new release 6 weeks from now, unless a blocking issue gets in the way.

KMyMoney 1.0.3 released
For those still using the KDE3 platform version, the team has also released version 1.0.3. This maintenance release contains some fixes and improvements we found during the development of the KDE4 version and backported to it.
This is a bugfix release and contains no new features, because our efforts are currently devoted to making a full port to KDE4.
