Summary of the project by the GSoC student, copied
from http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GSoC2011#Student_Summaries :
A new user interface for Gnucash core using Qt/C++ was started by one
of the Gnucash developers in 2010. [1] The idea is to create a
lightweight user friendly UI, reusing the backend core API of
Gnucash. During the project, I created a widget to allow a user to add
two split transaction to/from different accounts. After that I worked
on adding an overview widget showing a list of recent transactions
entered. It consists of two report views containing income and
expense. This view also called as First Person Overview provides an
easy to browse list of transactions. The idea is to integrate common
handy features with these views. The present view lists four entries
for each transaction: date of the transaction, transaction
description, split account name and split amount. Each of the entries
are inside their own QWidget, so as to allow interactive features to
be coded on each of the entries.
The already existing code had some C++ wrappers to convert the return
values of C functions to Qt data types. I made use of them whenever
possible. And at some parts of the code I used the C functions
directly where it made things easier for me. The FPO consists of one
or more viewlets. A viewlet is nothing but a list of transactions, a
slightly minified version of General Journal, to easily browse
transactions sorted by date. The viewlet generator function works such
that there is no date entry or account name entry, if it is the same
as the previous (above) one. This information is then used by
ViewletView to generate the UI part. To make the views visually
appealing and readable, QStyleSheets are used which distinguishes the
various types of entries in the viewlet.
Overall, it was a rewarding experience, I learned a lot of new things,
common pitfalls, handy tips and tricks, and a better understanding of
the Gnucash core API . The project was observed only by myself and my
mentor. During the course I also generated windows builds for two of
my friends who were interested to have a look at the features
implemented. I received positive feedback from them and couple of
feature requests from them. Working on this project within GSoC was a
rewarding experience. I thank my mentor Christian Stimming for guiding
me along and giving very helpful advices and hints during the
summer. I definitely would like to continue contributing to Gnucash
community in future.

variables which have leaked in over the years.
Emacs users should add the following to their .emacs files:
(c-add-style "gnucash"
'("k&r"
(c-basic-offset . 4)
(c-offsets-alist . ((case-label . +)) )
(c-hanging-braces-alist . ((substatement-open before after)
(block-close before after)) )
))
Users with Emacs version 23 and later can add this as well:
(dir-locals-set-class-variables 'gnucash-project
'((indent-tabs-mode . nil)
(fill-column . 80)
(c-mode . ((c-file-style . "gnucash")))
(c++-mode . ((c-file-style . "gnucash")))))
(dir-locals-set-directory-class "/path/to/gnucash-svn" 'gnucash-project)
Users with earlier versions should at least add
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
and should consider adding
(c-default-style ('((c-mode . "gnucash"))))

This bug was introduced by the patch of bug #653109

Add an XSLT style sheet that takes an existing (uncompressed) GnuCash
file and creates an account hierarchy template from it. Takes
parameters for the account hierarchy name, short, and long
description.

Add a simple XSLT style sheet that takes an (uncompressed) GnuCash
file or template, and generates a comma-separated list of account
numbers, names, and types.

xaccCloneAccountCommon into a single xaccCloneAccount
Since removing the qofinstance-gemini xaccCloneAccount means that the
only user of xaccCloneAccountCommon is xaccCloneAccountSimple, which
adds only one line beyond calling xaccCloneAccountCommon, combine them
into a single function, called xaccCloneAccount (no need to make it
simple since it's the only one.)

As usual, re-indentation was done using astyle-1.24 using the following options:
astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper --pad-header --suffix=none

Now a positive balance means, amount still due, a negative balance
means overpayment. This aligns with other uses of balances like in the
"Bills Due Reminder" dialog

The Balance column is not visible by default, but can be activated
with the blue arrow in the top-right of the page.
