Stéphane is currently in Berlin, having fun at the Desktop Summit 2011, but I'm the one blogging about it...

We are not yet ready for a 1.0 version, but we are getting closer... The Skrooge team announces the release of the 0.9.0 version of its personal finances management application.

This version's highlights include:

For the past 3 years, we (read: Stéphane) have been adding many features in Skrooge. It is now at the point where it looks quite feature complete. In the process, Stéphane managed to constantly keep the number of bugs at an extremely low level. At the time of writing this post, bugzilla counts only two open bugs.

I just noticed recently that Nuno, our Oxygen Icons superhero, drawn some icons for KDE financial apps. This is a first result to some work we performed with the other KDE Financial guys during last year's Sprint in Frankfurt. So, first things first, thanks Nuno for working on this :).

These are the icons I could spot that are directly finance related (I may have skipped some)

The world has far more important concerns at the moment, but you might be interested in knowing that the skrooge team is proud to announce the release of the 0.8.1 version of its personal finances management application. This version's highlights include:

Skrooge has now moved to git, thanks to everyone I bugged in the process (eean, povaddict, apachelogger, annma, toma... sorry if I forget someone !).

Skrooge code can now be found in http://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/office/skrooge.

If anyone (translators, packagers, developpers, users compiling from source...) has issues following this move, please get in touch with me !

Toulibre, a group of users advocating Free Software in the Southwest of France, will be holding an event in Toulouse for celebrating KDE 4.6 release. There will be a party on the Friday, and several user-oriented talks on the Saturday.

The Skrooge team is proud to announce the release of version 0.8.0, bringing new features and bugfixes. One of the noteworthy additions in this version is a very first draft of a budget module:

Please be aware that the budget module is not yet considered in a stable state, and might be subject to heavy modifications in the upcoming versions, probably mostly on the visual side.

I don't know about you, but for me Christmas' gifts have always been a kind of challenging exercise. Getting a gift for every child in the family - not only my own kids, but also nephews or friends' kids - trying to keep inside your budget, and making sure they are treated equally. Not to speak about the crowd in the shops, that's another topic .
