1. Version 1.0
   The jump to version 1.0 from 0.5 is because SQL-Ledger is now a double entry system.
   Version numbering will be even numbered for the stable releases, and odd numbered for development releases.
2. New Features:
   • A General Ledger
   • Templates for printed and email forms which include an invoice, balance sheet and income statement
   • A list of accounts where you can view every transaction entered
   • Transactions may be deleted anytime
   • An administrator module to add/edit/delete users
3. Because of the double entry feature and tight integration, the new version will only work with SQL servers with transaction support.
