[Kmymoney] Re: KMM4 (MUCH) SLOWER THAN KMM2

[timothy]

Hi
I am running Kmymoney Version 4.5.0 on Ubuntu Maverick
Using KDE Development Platform 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1).

When I 'Update Stock and Currency Prices' the currency seems OK, but the
date becomes the price for each and every share/stock. The date is in
fact yesterday's date. This makes me very wealthy on paper. The kmm
version was installed by default when upgrading from Lucid to Maverick. 

Previously I was running KMyMoney 1.0.5 using KDE 3.5.10 on Ubuntu
Lucid. All stock updates were OK and no changes were made to the
settings after the update.

Is there a setting to be tweaked?
