At least 5.2.1 now is able to open my sqlcipher database.
Regarding speed I don't have a problem neither with 5.2.1 nor with 
5.1.3.
My main concern is the gui, especially when filling out an account 
transaction. The number isn't filled in automatically, number and date 
are on the right side and the complete dialogue is quite confusing for 
me. Besides that, translations to German are still incomplete. I would 
help translating, but my business English is really bad, so this 
wouldn't be helpful.
So I will use 5.1.3 at least for the next few months.
