Status
| 12 Apr 98 | The xacc project has changed names and become the GnuCash project. The new web page is here. (The is no stable version of GnuCash yet, so if you are looking for stable code, stick with the latest version of xacc 1.0.x). | |
| 4 Mar 98 | The free financial software merger! | |
| 16 Feb 98 | Version 1.0.17 is out. This version is a bug
fix, which fixes:
|
|
| 7 Jan 98 | Version 1.0.16 is out. (Note the change in version numbering.) This version cleans up some bugs, including a bug that resulted in transactions being incorrectly sorted by date. Also, a debian package version of Xacc is available. | |
| 10 Dec 97 | Version 1.0b11 is out. X-Accountant has a new web page! | |
| 03 Dec 97 | Version 1.0b7 is out. Linas Vepstas has been helping keep the xacc project going while I have been bogged down with school-work. He has done a lot of good work, adding features to make X-Accountant a more powerful financial tool, and fixing bugs. | |
| 03 Dec 97 | Version 0.9 is out. Version 0.9 is a pretty big code cleanup, and adds some nice features, like an adjust-balance window, a account reconcile window, hypertext context sensitive help, and some bug fixes. | |
| Early June | X-Accountant is born, because I am tired of having to reboot my computer to MacOS to run quicken. I can't find any reasonable alternatives on the net, so I start writing xacc! |
