Prospects 1.2 Update

Hello everyone… I hope you all like the new blog format!  Although things are quite busy, I would like to take a minute and provide an update on Prospects 1.2.  In general, the update is taking longer than expected (this is, after all, software!), but it is coming along. Many people have been asking about a release date, but at this time I will simply say that it is TBD.  I do not want to promise a date and then miss it horribly due to some unforeseen circumstances! I have received a lot of feedback on the product and thank everyone for providing their thoughts and insight – it will help make version 1.2 a fantastic release. Some things you can expect to see include:

• More keyboard shortcuts in the transactions table, as well as the ability to tab into columns with a popup list (such as the category column).
• Reconciling of accounts
• Scheduled transactions
• Numerous enhancements and tweaks suggested by users
• Export to QIF
• Better printing support
• More reports
• Better rules management

Yes, I have been intentionally vague on some of these items as the final details are still being worked out and I would like to hold off releasing too many specific details until the product is ready.  Either way, this release will be quite an upgrade and I am looking forward to getting it out the door as soon as possible!  (And yes – this is a free upgrade for all existing users).I will be posting a request for beta testers soon (stay tuned).  I am looking for a small set of people willing to test the new release with the goal being to iron out as many bugs as possible prior to its release.  This will (hopefully) avoid too many (but completely inevitable) 1.2.x releases. As always, if you have comments, suggestions or problems – please email support@motimotion.com or check out the user forums.  I will attempt to communicate more frequently in this blog about the 1.2 release, so if you are interested I suggest you subscribe to the Entries RSS feed (link is on the bottom of the page) so you can be notified when new information is available. //Mike//
