On our way to a stable release of KMyMoney for KDE Platform 4

Mon, 07/19/2010 - 06:24 — asoliverez

Since we relesed 3.98.x on mid-May we have devoted most of our effort to remove the last pieces of Qt3Support from KMyMoney. We are almost there, and we will be probably releasing a stable version sometime mid-August. The final date will be decided when we remove the last piece of legacy code, but it will be almost exactly one year after releasing version 1.0.

We have played with the versioning naming scheme a bit, so the stable version will be 4.5, to follow KDE's numbering more closely.

KDE Finance Sprint report available

Sun, 07/11/2010 - 12:40 — asoliverez

With Akademy and other stuff going on, it looks like the report on the KDE Finance Sprint didn't make it to the front page. I would like to thank Guillaume and the other people who helped put the report together, and of course, the board, Claudia, Thomas and Syrocon, who enabled the sprint to happen at all.

PS. As you can see in the comment below, it will be published shortly, so I've removed the link in the meantime.

Winning in a good way

Fri, 07/02/2010 - 07:12 — asoliverez

Jos wrote a series of posts about Being Free, and I feel compelled to contest some of his conclusions, or at least show a different perspective on some of them.

First, let's make it clear, I want the world to use free software. I'm not here the technical thrill alone, though I'm a true nerd at heart. I believe in FOSS and its importance to users all over. I also believe that how we reach our goal is as important as finally reaching it, if not more.

I've been accepted as a KDE e.V. member

Tue, 06/29/2010 - 21:34 — asoliverez

The KDE e.V. membership has had the deference to let me in. It was communicated to me and other new members yesterday. I must say I've felt honoured to see the group I was accepted with (people like John Layt, whom I've interacted due to his work in KCurrency, and Sandro Andrade, whose blogs I've read on the planet). To me, it has been a rather lengthy process. or shall I say, at a moderate pace. I've started filling up the questionnaire in late December and I finished it end of May. Not bad for less than 10 questions, right? Not bad at all.

KMyMoney on Windows

Tue, 06/29/2010 - 00:21 — asoliverez

KMyMoney has been available on KDE on Windows for a while, but only on the nightly build, which, ironically, does not always build. It was supposed to be included in the KDE SC 4.4.4 release, but that got delayed for the Windows, and I think it won't happen. Anyway, it should be available in the KDE SC 4.5 release. Cristian and the KoW team have done a great job at making it work on that platform.

Here are some screenshots:

About pragmatics and loonies

Sat, 06/12/2010 - 22:33 — asoliverez

Reading blog posts from Aaron or Jos, I notice there has been a discussion lately about corporate sponsorship and how that may influence the direction taken by KDE.

Also, I noticed some messages in identi.ca from Jos about FSF and FSFE. That prompted a small exchange between him and me, and it was also the trigger for this post, which is a very personal opinion piece about corporations and free software projects.

KMyMoney now in extragear

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 23:01 — asoliverez

Two weeks and a couple of days after going into kdereview, we got the approval to move to extragear. During these 2 weeks, almost all remaining krazy warnings were solved by our team. We are now down to only a handful warnings and most of them are false positives. The only other issue that was raised during the review was our inclusion of kdchart within our source code. That will be solved when KDAB releases that as a separate package.

On the path to extragear - KMyMoney moved to kdereview

Sun, 05/23/2010 - 23:17 — asoliverez

KMyMoney is now in kdereview. It has to go through a 2-week review before being approved to move to extragear. Given our development experience (we are by no means a new kid on the block), I expect it to be fine. As part of the process, I had to prepare a small summary about the current KMyMoney development situation, which I think is worth sharing here:

New bugfix release for KMyMoney

Fri, 05/21/2010 - 07:53 — asoliverez

As we couldn't have it any other way, we found 2 bugs right after release. One is a crash in very uncommon situation, the other is a layout problem in a very commonly-used dialog.

After some analysis, and fixing those bugs, we decided to release a bugfix version to address these issues. You can get version 3.98.1 here.

KMyMoney announces release candidate for KDE platform 4

Sat, 05/15/2010 - 19:53 — asoliverez

 After a year of hard work on a version for the KDE platform 4, the KMyMoney team is happy to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate. Unlike previous versions, this one is recommended for general use. The feedback provided by previous beta releases makes us confident that it is as stable and rock-solid as previous stable versions.
