As you know, right now there is no way to import from Quickbooks...

I would definitely recommend using the HEAD.  All new features are
applied to the HEAD first and then later applied to 1.8.

Nobody is actively working on it.  I've been reluctantly maintaining

see a UI created to tie into the new qif-io-core code....  (hint hint).
