All,
The stable gnucash version 1.8.0, our first stable version after almost 6 months, is scheduled to be released this Sunday/Monday.
During the last release candidate versions, we got Gnucash into a pretty good shape, and now I think we managed to fix all outstanding showstopper bugs in there. I was the last one who complained about serious bugs (with respect to multi-currency register UI issues), but those have been fixed nicely now. Bugzilla still hovers at 56 normal bugs but is down to 7 major bugs, and none of the major ones actually complains about any problems with the core functionality. Therefore I have a quite good feeling about moving ahead with the stable release this weekend.
With a new stable release there is still some work to be done. We need to
* update the README and
* write a "What's new in 1.8"-Document http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99456 , probably in gnucash-docs, referenced in a Tip-of-the-Day http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95602 and the README.
* A press release needs to be written. http://www.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2001-June/003918.html was our last one, and I'm also going to write a German press release http://www.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2001-June/003921.html probably similar to the openhbci announcement http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2649500
Which topics should be covered in the press release? I guess that's mostly what has been mentioned in each of the release candidate announcements, as seen on http://www.gnucash.org . I think the really "easy-to-sell" new features are:
- Scheduled Transactions
- Small Business Accounting Features
- OFX Import
- (Germany) HBCI Support
and additionally the following new features might get mentioned but don't have to:
- Mortgage & Loan Repayment Druid
- New User Manual and Help
- New Multi-Currency Transaction Handling
- Redesigned Menus
What do people think? Can somebody please write up an English press release? (My English is not good enough for that)
Christian
