KMyMoney 5.0.0 Release Notes

February 06, 2018

The KMyMoney development team is proud to present version 5.0.0 of its open source Personal Finance Manager.

As with every release, the KMyMoney development team has been working hard to make this release better and easier to use in every way. We have also made quite a few improvements. We are confident you will like what you see.

The largest amount of work has gone towards basing this version on KDE Frameworks. Many of the underlying libraries used by the application have been reorganized and improved, but most of that is behind the scenes, and not directly visible to the end user. Some of the general look and feel may have changed, but the basic functionality of the program remains the same, aside from intentional improvements and additions.

In addition to adapting to new and updated libraries, there have also been numerous bug fixes, as well as several new features and improved functionality. Although this means there have been some major changes to the underlying code, this version has actually been used in production by many of the developers, so it has actually had a significant amount of testing.

Here are some of the new features found in this release:

• Multiple improvements to reports, including better performance.
• Allow logarithmic axes in report graphs.
• When deleting a security, automatically delete its prices.
• Allow separate beginning balance accounts for different currencies.
• Added support for several new currencies

Here are some of the major bugs which have been fixed:

• Elimination of several crashes.
• Fix problems with report graphs using older data.
• Fix rounding errors in some investment transactions.
• Removed Yahoo from stock and currency price sources, as they no longer provide this service

There are a some changes which will need some adjustments on the user's side if you are upgrading from 4.8.x or an older version The program searches for the templates for the printcheck plugin in different locations. The user needs to account for this in the plugins setting dialog.

Known issues

• Executing SEPA online transfers are not working. Transaction download is still possible
• Italian documentation requires KDE Frameworks newer. than 5.30.0. In case you run into problems compiling the Italian documentation because you have an older version of the KDE Frameworks, simply remove the file po/it/docs/kmymoney/index.docbook from the released source, re-run cmake and build the application.

For a full list of the changes please check out the changelog. We highly recommend upgrading to 5.0.0.
