2.7.3 - 31 December 2017
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.2,
the third release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0.
Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major
release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next
stable release will be 3.0. Mainenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2,
etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.
This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.
See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.
This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options,
and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous
versions. See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/UpdateNotes for
details.
New Features For Users:
A greatly enhanced Transaction report with many new options and features
including a reconciliation report thanks to Chris Lam.
Removed 6-figure rounding from price calculations, allowing prices to
have up to 18 digit precision.
A flatter storage scheme for Bayes account-matching scores, thanks
to Aaron Laws. This is a compatibility change guarded by a feature.
GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2
A CSV Price importer, thanks to Bob Fewell.
Enhanced python bindings exposing more GnuCash API thanks to Guy Taylor
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 616709 - Pressing delete key while editing account name offers to
delete account.
Bug 771667 - Change reconciled splits warning
This patch displays two distinct warnings when changing
protected fields of a transaction that contains reconciled
splits. If the fields date, num and description are changed,
then the warning list the accounts that have reconciled
splits and also advises that they will be unreconciled after
editing the transaction. If the fields account, transfer,
debit or credit are changed then the warning advises that the
split will be unreconciled after editing the transaction.
There is still just one warning preference as it is all to do
with fields protected by reconciliation.
Bug 787497 - Disabling options cripples dist package PARTIAL FIX:
WITH_OFX, WITH_SQL and WITH_AQBANKING handling is fixed. The
dist files for these features are always included in the
dist tarball.
Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug
Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7.
Set a feature to prevent versions older that 2.6.20 from
loading a database from which they cannot read the
dates. Ideally we would do this only if the database is
written to, but the current persistence design includes
committing back to the database during the load so the net
effect is that the flag would be set anyway.
This is a compatibility change guarded by a feature.
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
Tests now pass in all timezones.
More dialogs are made "transient for" so that they pop up centered on
the main Gnucash window instead of somewhere on the left edge of the
screen.
A lot of Gtk3 issues and errors are fixed, thanks to Bob Fewell.
Test struct tm* returns from gnc_gmtime and gnc_localtime to ensure that
we don't crash for dereffing a nullptr.
Removed the gnc:numeric type from Scheme code in favor of Scheme's own
rational numbers. This allows direct conversion between
Scheme numbers and gnc_numeric without the performance or
accuracy penalties arising from using doubles as an
intermediary.
Pass KVP paths as a collection of elements instead of a delimited string.
This allows keys to contain '/'. Thanks to Aaron Laws.
Added a frameowrk for migrating preferences.
Made separate functions for finding a widget's parent window:
gnc_ui_get_gtk_window tries to find the immediate parent and
gnc_ui_get_main_window tries to find the widget's parent
toplevel, returning the first-mapped window.
Make the splash/lock screen the transient parent for dialog boxes if the
main window is not yet mapped.
Rework directory determination in CMake builds.
Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state
of ENABLE_BINRELOC, GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and
whether any install paths have been set outside of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. GNUInstallDirs changes the name of
CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the operating system and
distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr, /usr/local, or
any subdirectory of /opt it also changes
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by
Aaron Laws mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the
build library directory. It's possible for builders to set
any of the install directories anywhere they please.
Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks
Binreloc so the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and
disables Binreloc. If Binreloc is enabled then all path
queries use it to find paths. This works in the build
directory because the gnucash executable and all of the test
programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and
SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path. If Binreloc
is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the
build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set
GNC_BUILDDIR to the absolute path of the build
directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR replaces
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are appended whole to
GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake and
gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR
without Binreloc.
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
On Microsoft Windows starting the AQBanking Setup Wizard crashes GnuCash.
test-import-bayes built with autotools intermittently fails at
line 381, where the returned value is 1 instead of the expected 6.
Bug 789594 - Unable to overwrite splite3 database file
Bug 791823 - There is no Gtk3 theme-setting tool for Windows.
Bug 791825 - Accounting period dates off-by-1
2.6.19 - 16 December 2017
The following bugs are fixed:
