[GNC] Cashdera 0.2.0 release

[cashdera]

Thank you. I appreciate your comment.

That was my intention: to share an early beta of a local analytics 
companion for GnuCash and get practical feedback from people who 
understand real GnuCash workflows.

I am happy to move the discussion away from licensing arguments and back 
to useful feedback: import correctness, data handling, performance, 
reporting usefulness, and missing analytics views.

Regards,
Ars
