In 5.10, we've added a number of new features. Probably the biggest feature is the ability to create a crosstab or matrix report. This is a summary report where the rows are things like category or payee but the columns can be tags, payees or accounts. This is great for reporting on spending for each investment property or individuals in your family or from each credit card. This allows you to take full advantage of being able to tag transactions. This has been a big request from a lot of our Quicken 2007 customers who have switched to the subscription product.
5.10 also adds a thin sidebar so you can maximize the amount of information you can see in your register. We've added a new arrow button at the top of the sidebar to shrink and grow the sidebar but you can also simply drag the right edge controlling the width.
For Canadian customers, we've also added a new print check style for Canadian pre-printed cheques.
Finally, there was a lot of discussion in the 5.9 release forum post about exporting to the QMTF format. We took it out of the 5.9 release because it's not something we want to spend a lot of time on and people were complaining that it didn't do investments and there were other issues. The consensus was that most preferred having the feature even with issues so we've added it back in 5.10.
There are also lots of stability improvements. Let us know if you run into any issues in this forum post. We'll be closely monitoring this post for the next week or so.
Below are the official release notes.
