DRAFT June 11, 2001 (The INTERNET) The GnuCash Development Team <http://www.gnucash.org> proudly announces the release of GnuCash 1.6, the GNU personal finance manager. GnuCash features a full account hierarchy manager, a checkbook-like register GUI to enter transactions, and a full set of reports to visualize the state of your finances. The new release comes with a configurable main window, a much improved checking and general ledger entry window, and over ten completely new graphical reports including pie charts and bar charts using the GNU plot program Guppi <http://www.gnome.org/guppi>. Version 1.6 is the first stable GnuCash release to use the new XML file format; old binary files are converted automatically. The new XML format opens the door to further feature extensions and growing support of small business type applications. The user interface is designed to be simple and easy to use, but it is backed with double-entry accounting principles to ensure balanced books. For new users, the newly introduced account hierarchy creation druid helps to get started, and the latest introductory documentation is more exhaustive than ever. Existing financial data from e.g. Quicken or MS Money can easily be imported by the much improved QIF importer. Additional new features include printable reports, a financial calculator, better support for multiple currencies and the Euro. GnuCash is available for free under the GNU General Public License (GPL) from the GnuCash server <http://www.gnucash.org> and its mirrors. Thanks go to all the translators, testers, and bug reporters who made this release possible.
