I would not ordinarily post an announcement about software beta releases, but this is interesting.

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.3.10, the tenth of several unstable 2.3.x releases of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software which will eventually lead to the stable version 2.4.0. With this new release series, GnuCash can use an SQL database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX.

GnuCash is, and has been for a long time, a great accounts management program. Now, with a database backend, a lot of things get a whole lot easier - such as generating complex reports, dumping data into spreadsheets (eg. OpenOffice Calc), and adding transactions from, say, eCommerce sites.

Looking forward to the 2.4 release sometime in July :-)
