KMyMoney 0.6 is Released
========================

   After almost a year and a half since its last release, a double-entry
version of the KMyMoney [http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/] personal
finance management software for KDE is now available
[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4708]. Version
0.6 supports multiple account types, including credit cards, cash,
savings, loans and mortgages.

     An easy-to use GUI

allows entering and viewing your financial data.  Adjustable homepage
can be customized and wizards guide the user through more complicated
transactions. Transactions can be entered in an easy-to-use checkbook
type form, or edited directly in the register.  Recurring transactions
can be scheduled and transactions can be split to multiple categories
and accounts. All transactions can be listed for a given payee.  We have
also implemented powerful search functions to find transactions.

     While older versions saved data in a binary data format, Version
0.6 writes its data in a compressed XML format, which makes it easy to
preserve and store financial data.  Also, the software supports the
import and export of QIF files, allowing users to move data to/from
external sources.  Users can customize the QIF profile, to be able to
import files which may not be standard, without making any code changes.

     At the moment translations for French

German and Russian are available.

     Additional features being considered for future releases
[http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/release-plan.html] include multiple
currency support, investment account support, financial report
generation, OFX support, online stock quote updates, HBCI, and a GnuCash
import function. Please feel free to see more details on the project
web-site [http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/]. Some of these functions
are already available in our current CVS repository.
