We're finally ready to set a firm date on when V3 will launch. The official launch of V3 will be Monday, December 22nd. We have been working very hard over the last few months developing the site and testing it over and over again.

Some of the new features that will be available at launch are:

• Running Balances


• Transaction Histories (ability to undo edited or deleted transactions)


• Estimating future balances (based on your reminders)


• Accounts dashboard to see every aspect of the site you want at a quick glance (with the option of setting the current Summary page as the default)


• Much improved reporting tools (no more pie chart legends overlapping the chart, much nicer looking line and bar graphs, plus more)


• Mass editing and deleting of transactions


• Ability to add transactions from any page


• Improved Credit Card functionality


• Each account can have its own currency, plus the ability to set a global currency


• Timezone settings


• iPhone webapp now has every function the regular site does (aside from importing and exporting)


• Ability to view the site in languages other than English


• plus much more

We will have to take the site down for a few hours over the weekend of the 20th just before launch of V3 in order to update the database and server, but we'll post more about this when the time comes.

Thanks everyone for waiting patiently. I know the next version of the site is going to be even more helpful than the current version in helping you manage your money.

The company that is currently hosting ClearCheckbook was down for about 2 hours this afternoon. Something brought their entire datacenter down, including our server.

We are extremely sorry for this inconvenience and we're currently looking for a new company to host our server. We have been having other issues with them for quite some time and this is the final straw.

If you know of any reliable server coloation services in the Los Angeles or Las Vegas area, please let us know.

Again, sorry for the issues. It was completely out of our hands.

Some time last night we surpassed 4,000,000 transactions stored in our database. It has been 4 months since we hit the 3 million transaction mark.

ClearCheckbook v3 is still in beta testing right now. We have most of the bugs worked out of the site and are currently working on the iPhone webapp version. We should have this done by the end of the week and release it to beta testers at that time.

There was a question about the server upgrade that was canceled earlier in the month. We still plan on upgrading the server (We bought the new hard drives and ram), we are just waiting until we are closer to launch to do this.

We're getting close, just hang tight a little longer.

It has been a little while since we gave an update to the progress of ClearCheckbook version 3. Over the past few months we've been working very hard to get everything updated and added to the new version of the site. As of now, we only have two more features to rebuild for the new site (Reminders and Reports) plus a few more smaller additions and general cleanup.

We are looking to launch our private beta testing of the site in about 2 weeks and will use that time to fix any bugs and finalize the layout and other things like that.

We're sorry for the slight delay in launching the new version, but we want to make sure everything is there and working smoothly before the launch.

In a couple weeks I will post more information about the beta testing and how to sign up for it if you're interested.

General ClearCheckbook News:
July has been another great month for ClearCheckbook. We had over 310,000 transactions added this month with around 2,100 new members sign up for the site. We also broke the 3,000,000 transaction mark in July!

Donations:
We were about $60 short of our donation goal, but it's still great to see so many people donating.

V3 Development Update:
Many more hours have been poured into the development of V3. A lot of the new ideas are starting to take shape on the site, but we still have a few more to start on. These next few weeks will be very busy for the development of V3.

We also announced in July that we are developing a native iPhone app and plan on launching that along side V3.

There will be some more news about V3 as the launch date gets closer. The estimated launch is still September with beta testing opening up at the end of August.
