As far as major pieces for 2.4, the last thing is webkit on windows (webkit on linux/mac seem to work fine, webkit on windows has some really bad bugs - fonts unreadable if you print a report). I'm working on that now, and hope soon to either have a fix or else we'll need to pull webkit out on windows and go back to gtkhtml.
2.4 will support SQL to an sqlite3 db file, or a local or remote mysql or postgresql db. I've been using the sqlite3 backend quite successfully, but don't use all of the features. There are still some bugs that need to be fixed. Even after they are fixed, the decision is to stay with the XML backend by default, but allow the user to save into an SQL file and go from there. Note that gnucash is *not* a database app, and there is no multi-user capability. As far as target date goes... I hope to resolve webkit/windows within the next 2 weeks - either have a version that allows you to print, or else go back to gtkhtml on windows. Then, a few releases for string freeze/translation and fixing critical bugs. Maybe end of April?
