[GNC] Cashdera 0.2.0 release

[cashdera]

This is exactly why the discussion should stay technical.

I am not going to attack GNUDash or its author. Similar tools can exist 
because GnuCash reporting and analytics is an obvious area where users 
may want more options.

Cashdera is my own project, with its own implementation, architecture, 
and roadmap.

If people want to compare tools, that should be done on facts: import 
correctness, performance, platform support, reporting features, UI/UX, 
privacy model, and maintenance.

But suggesting misconduct without evidence is not fair and does not help 
GnuCash users.

Regards,
Ars
