# What's new in this release

## Bug fixes and enhancements to functionality

As with every release, the &kmymoney; development team has been working hard to make this release better and easier to use in every way. This is the fourth release in the 5.0 series, and most of the activity has been directed to fixing bugs.

At this point, the conversion to using &kde-frameworks; is essentially complete, although that and the work to update many of the underlying libraries used by the application are behind the scenes and not directly visible to the end user. The general look and feel should be stable, although some minor changes may still occur. The basic functionality of the program also remains the same, aside from intentional improvements and additions.

In past releases, this page of the manual has included a list of many of the specific bug fixes and functional enhancements. However, rather than duplicating that information, you can find it directly in the Release Notes.

Since the release of 5.0, there have been some changes which will need adjustments on the user's side if you are upgrading from 4.8.x or an older version.

- The program searches for the templates for the printcheck plugin in different locations. The user needs to account for this in the plugins setting dialog, see this section for more details.

## Updates to this Handbook

While we continue to make progress, there are still chapters of this handbook which have not been updated to reflect all changes in the program which are visible to the user as of 5.0. Each chapter does identify the release of &kmymoney; for which it was last updated, but we present the complete list here, as a quick reference.

However, please note that extent to which the chapters which have not been explicitly updated do or do not reflect the current operation of the program depends on how much that area of the program has changed between the 4.8 and the 5.0 releases.
