Nearing v1.0

I've been working on this software for about 2 years now, and it's finally getting close to having all the bits that I originally imagined.

v0.8.0, the release I'll be testing this week, adds Alerts.

v0.8.1 will add some more charts functionality.

v0.8.2 will add Holidays.

v0.8.3 will be bug fixes, and will become RC1 (the "Release Candidate #1").

If necessary, v0.8.4 will fix any bugs found in RC1, and will become RC2.

And so on and so forth until I'm happy to say that it's worthy of being v1.0.

As soon as that happens, the prices go up :-)

-----------

N.b. There are some things I did want to have in v1.0 but won't make it, most notably the Interactive Brokers functionality. Actually there's still a thousand things I'd like to add, but I had to draw a line in the sand. It's time for me to start using this software instead of making it. At last :-) It's also time to get a job.

I'll still be adding new functionality from time-to-time. Obviously bug-fixes are important and will get done as they arise. But I won't be working on the software more-than-full-time like I have been up to now.
