Buddi 3.3 Development Branch Released

After a long period of no major Development-grade changes, I have finally released a new development branch. The primary new feature in this branch will be support for split transactions; as of 3.3.0.0, there is support in the model and the Plugin APIs for splits, but the GUI does not support it yet. This should be added in 3.3.1.0 or 3.3.2.0 if all goes well.

In addition to split transaction support, there are numerous minor tweaks and bug fixes. Please look at the changelog for details.... read more

Buddi: 3.2 Stable Released

Buddi is a simple budgeting program targeted for users with little or no financial background. It allows users to set up accounts and categories, record transactions, check spending habits, etc.

This version fixes a few bugs (including a bug when copying your files from OSX 10.4 Tiger to OSX 10.5 Leopard), and resolves a few feature requests. No major changes here, but it is recommended that all users upgrade.... read more

3.0 Stable Released

I am proud to announce the release of the 3.0 Stable branch of Buddi This version is the result of almost 5 months of active development, and includes many new features and changes. The data model has been re-written from scratch, along with most of the user interface. Some of the major changes are listed below; for a complete list, please view all changes in the 2.9 Development branch.
-Much more powerful budgeting capabilities. You can now specify different budgets for different months, as well as have multiple budget periods (e.g., Month, Quarter, Week, etc) for different budget items.
-Many improvements to the user interface, and the UI architecture
-Complete re-write of the backup / restore interface
-New plugin API, which models the actual data much more closely than before, and should allow for more powerful plugins

*Important* 3.0 RC 5 Removed

A serious bug was found in RC 5, in which the data files are not correctly saved. If you currently are using RC 5 (2.9.20.0), please remove it, and revert to the previous version. You will need to revert to the last data file which was saved with RC 4.

I apologize for any difficultly this may have caused, and hope to have the fix out as soon as possible.

Cheers

I have just released 3.0 RC 5, which has a focus on performance. I have made many changes to the backing data structures in Buddi to ensure swift operation. This is especially noticeable when you have many transactions (tens of thousands).

Since there were changes to the backing data structures, please back up your data beforehand, and pay attention to the sort orders of transactions. Please report any problems to me.... read more
