New great version 1.0 released

[Martin Nowack]

Binary package hint: kmymoney2

Hi,
like mentioned a new version was released:
http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/index-home.html

* it is based on KDE 4.*
* many bugfixes

[Micha Lenk (micha)]

Sorry, Martin, AFAIK it's *not* based on KDE 4.x.

But I second this request for KMyMoney2 1.0 in Ubuntu.

[Hei Ku (asoliverez)]

I can confirm it is NOT a KDE4 version.

A KDE4 version is underway, but 1.0 is KDE3.

Once Debian gets 1.0.1 I'll file a Feature Freeze/sync from Debian request for the kmymoney2 and kmymoney2-plugin-aqbanking.

Why isn't KMM2 ver 1.0 packaged already! I was trying to get some help with the app, and finally figured out that my current version from the Ubuntu repository was .9.2!! There have been a large number of improvements since then, no wonder I didn't know what the people at the forum were talking about, the features don't exist in .9.2!! This app needs an immediate update package. It's unfortunate that I have to enter private ppds for an update version of 1.0.0. BTW, it appears to be working perfectly.

I've noticed this lack of updating app packages elsewhere (eg KPhotoAlbum is far behind), and I've had to also acquire privately compiled versions. Is there some problem with not being able to maintain the Ubuntu upgrade repository with current versions?

Usually this package would be synced from Debian as soon as it was updated there. The only thing is that we are past both Debian import freeze (so these syncs have to be requested manually) and since a few days before 1.0 was released, Feature Freeze. This means that to get an exception for feature freeze, one must go through a bunch of red tape. If Debian's going to update to 1.0.1 in the next few days, it'll be worth it (for me) to wait a few days instead of going through all that twice. If you want to request a sync yourself, go right ahead.

Please wait for 1.0.1, because a critical bug went into 1.0.0. That's what motivated the bugfix release so close after 1.0.0

Thanks for your response... I've a better idea how "the packaging
process" works now (especially since I did some research and discovered
what a freeze is). Always something new to learn... :-)
