Many people are waiting for the desktop client, and I am posting this update to let you know about the current (close to final) development stage.

We had to completely rebuild the desktop client, and now it looks very different from the original design. The client will work only with the next release of Money, so you will need to upgrade to the latest version.

We are in the final testing stage at the moment, and I believe that all the users who want to see the client will see it shortly.

After thinking about the best name for the client, we’ve decided to call it iBearMoney QI (to refer to iBearMoney Quick Input, which is the main goal behind the client).

Now, a few words about the release process. Many people have suggested that we release the client in a beta version first so that users could check it themselves. If you want to try the beta version of the client, please indicate it in this forum thread. We will select several people, and I will give them a direct link to the client so that they will be able to download it. Then after this initial testing phase we will make it officially available.
