quality assurance and debugging efforts by Linux distribution
maintainers.
The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses the
Gtk+-3.0 Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was forced
on us by some major Linux distributions dropping support for
the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the Webkit project doesn't
support Microsoft Windows so that platform will continue to use
the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0
as the minimum version because it fully supports CSS
theming. (Geert Janssens and Robert Fewell)
New Features For Users:
There's a new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new
features including the ability to re-import CSV files exported
from GnuCash. (Geert Janssens)

Data file directories are now located appropriately to the
operating system's conventions by default. It's still possible
to overried with the environment variable GNC_DOC_PATH, which
replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash. (Geert
Janssens)

features including the ability to re-import CSV files exported
from GnuCash. (Geert Janssens)
Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead
of names so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you
rename an account. THIS WILL MAKE YOUR FILE UNREADABLE BY
PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF GNUCASH. There's a new editor to remove
outdated or incorrect match data from the import maps, a new
user interfacs for managing files associated with transactions,
an improved facility for removing old prices from the price
database, and a way to remove deleted files from the history
list in the file menu. (All from Robert Fewell!)

Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant
digits. The old 6-digit-maximum fraction will be a 9-digit
maximum by 2.8. there is still some cleanup required before the
limit can actually change. (John Ralls)

Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten
in C++, an effort that will continue in the next development
cycle. KVP is now private to libgncmod-engine and accessible
outside via qof_instance_set and qof_instance_get. (John Ralls
and Aaron Laws)
Chart Reports appearance is improved (Carsten Rinke)
KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and
boost::UUID respectively (Aaron Laws).
New Features For Developers
The date implementation is migrated to boost::date-time,
replacing a Glib GDateTime implementation. This makes the
earliest date recordable 1 January 1400CE instead of 1 January
1CE. We doubt any users will be affected. (John Ralls)

The CuteCash front end has been removed. The code we need from
GOffice has been brought into the GnuCash code base so GOffice
is no longer a dependency.

Of interest mostly to developers, we've reorganized the code
into a core library directory, libgnucash, and
applications-specific directory, gnucash.

A new Russian translation of the Guide has been started by
Dmitriy Mandel. Downloads in the usual formats are available at
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/; the HTML is at

There will be no unstable documentation release at this
time. There have been very few relatively minor changes to the
master documentation branch; those documents may be viewed in
the nightly builds at https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml.

test-import-bayes built with autotools intermittently fails at
line 381, where the returned value is 1 instead of the expected
6.
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 87652 - KVP modification does not change 'dirty' flag.
Bug 120250 - KVP XML loader ignores '0' timestamps?
Bug 122895 - general ledger should be named journal
Bug 343227 - Summary bar alignment patch.
Bug 388500 - Add option to remove deleted files from the history list.
Allows removing files from the MRU list if they no longer exist.
Bug 541541 - RFE: auto-hide unused accounts
Bug 608098 - Option is hard to find: Change Transaction Report to show account names in multirow txn
On the Transaction report the General->Style option
has been replaced with a similar Display->Detail Level
option. This was done in order to make the display of
some columns dependent on the value of this option.
When upgrading from 2.6.x or earlier to 2.8.x and you
had saved or open reports that had set General->Style
to 'Multi-line' you will have to update these reports
to set 'Multi-line' on the Display->Detail Level
option instead and optionally resave your report.
Bug 639401 - Invoices Due Reminder
Bug 645786 - Fancy invoice report still doesn't use fancy date format preference
Bug 647230 - Display the blank split after the "now" line instead of at the end
Bug 679791 - Import Template for importing CSV files - part2
Bug 684719 - Man pages for gnc-fq-* perl scripts
Bug 689489 - Be able to show file location
The file location is now visible in the status bar
while hovering over the recent file list of the File
menu. The currently open file is the top-most file in
this list so its location can be seen by hovering over
it with the mouse.

Bug 754533 - Change finish page text for Search and General Journal register exports
Bug 756373 - Typos in Transaction Rpt options mouse-over text
Bug 757532 - [PATCH] Make start and end rows editable by keyboard
Bug 759674 - GNUCash crashes when importing invoices or bills with delimited import
Bug 760107 - Change default date completion to sliding window
The default date completion when entering partial
dates has been changed from "always complete in
current calendar year" to "complete to a sliding
window starting 11 months before current month". For
example if you enter "1/23" (January 23rd) while today
is December 10th 2015, the date will be expanded to
January 23rd 2016 rather than 2015. If you prefer to
keep the old behaviour, you can restore to it via
Edit->Preferences->Date/Time->Date Completion. In
addition if you were already using the sliding window
before, but didn't change the previous 6 months before
default, you will now also get the new default 11
months before. Again if you prefer the old behaviour
it can be restored via the same Preference.
