Feature Plan for version 4.6 of KMyMoney

Include below the items you think should be included in the next version For each item, add a subheader with a quick explanation

Features

AlkValue
Budget revamp
Performance of the ledger
Reports internal structure revamp

Detail (in progress)

All done :)

Detail (done)

AlkValue (Thomas)

Make sure we have libalkimia ready and integrated
Update testcases

Balance cache update (Fernando)

Move balance cache from storage layer to MyMoneyFile layer
Update/add related test cases

Detail (postponed)

Transaction Form Updates

The current design should be freed from some legacy design decisions that are no longer relevant
View/Edit widgets are clumsy
Transaction type tabs could be made into a combobox
Investment transactions complicate the form
Transition auto-fill to an MVC architecture
Implement tags and transaction templates
Before starting on the above, we need requirements capture and a solid design, so that all developers understand the vision for this key piece of the code.

Report structure(Alvaro)

Port to a nested structure, to match the account hierarchy
Use a QAbstractModel?
Allow reports to have an arbitrary level of detail, with subtotals for each level

Budget revamp (Alvaro)

Make budgets rolling (no longer year-specific) and have 1 on the list be the default budget
Add assets and liabilities to budget
- The user should enter the net variation for each account
- The reports will have to be adjusted for this. Probably separate budgets at first
- Variation on assets and liabilities count toward net variation
Advice whether budget is feasible: incomes should at least match expenses and net worth variation
Perhaps try to make the budget list dockable, as it won't be used much and it would be best to hide it or shrink it. Leave more room for the actual budget data
