If you were thinking about purchasing a copy of Moneydance for yourself or a friend, today is the day to do so! All of the proceeds from every Moneydance purchase today will be donated to the Virginia Tech Memorial Fund in order to help defray costs for the victims and their families.

This fundraiser is organized by Lee Falin and we are one of many independent Mac software developers.

I am very happy to announce that Moneydance 2007 is now available! The new version can now be downloaded from the main Moneydance download page. The primary improvements over Moneydance 2006 include:

• Budget graph in the toolbar that shows the state of your income and expenses compared to your budget
• Net worth history graph in the main toolbar showing the general trend of your finances
• New budget manager allowing much more flexible budget planning
• New budget report showing your budget status for multiple time periods side-by-side
• Improvements to investment portfolio view such as cost basis for individual securities as well as overall cost basis and portfolio value
• More polished graphing (using JFreeChart) including the ability to zoom in to any portion of the graph and to get information for each point in the graph with a simple swipe of the mouse
• Additional reports such as Income/Expenses and a true Cash Flow report
• A new summary graph on the home page that shows an overview of your expenses or income for a period of your choosing, updated instantly
• A vast number of user interface improvements, making the starting "home page" screen more informative while appearing less cluttered

We’ve also made a huge number of bug fixes - too many to include here.

Please download a copy and tell your friends!

Here is the long awaited (well, 12 days) third beta for Moneydance 2007! This release includes a (further) improved budget system and fixes to a bunch of small bugs.

The budget graph now allows you to select the time period (this month, last month, this year, etc) for which your budget status should be graphed and does away with the pro-rated status indicators which seemed to confuse most reasonable people. The graph now remembers the selected budget and time period. The budget report has been given the ability to display budget performance for any given time period and also allows you to break down a budget report into monthly, weekly, quarterly, or yearly intervals and to see your budget status for those intervals side-by-side.

For those who are having printing problems on Linux, please try the installer that includes java below. This version includes Java 6 for Linux which should solve the CUPS printing problem that occurs when using Java 5 (aka Java 1.5)

Payoff! is a Moneydance plugin that gives you a quick view of just when you should be getting out of debt, and how much interest it will cost you, depending on how you are, or want to be, paying off your debt.

Using Payoff! is a great way to optimize paying off your debt so that you spend the least amount of money on interest and get back to a no-debt situation as quickly as possible. Payoff! was written by Dave Wilson.

To add or update this extension, start Moneydance and click the “Check for update/extensions” link on the home page. Then click the link labeled “Payoff! Debt Calculator” and follow the instructions. Once installed, you can open the debt payoff calculator by clicking the extensions (gear) icon on the top right corner of the main window.

Please contact Dave at payoff@everydave.com with any questions or suggestions, and report any bugs you encounter to the Moneydance Trac system.
