Version history:
------- -------
3.901 - 26 April 2020
The first unstable release leading to the new 4.x stable series.
Baseline requirements
Operating Systems:
Linux: Ubuntu 18.04LTS
MacOS: 10.13
Windows: 8.1
Software Dependencies:
C++ standard is now C++17, requires gcc 8.0 or clang 6.0.
Cmake 3.10
boost 1.67.0
gettext 0.19.6 for general use, 0.20 to generate gnucash.pot.
glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
googletest 1.8.0
ICU, any version.
libdbi 0.8.3
libxml2 2.9.4
swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD
New Features
The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them.
OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor
Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols and the European Privacy Directive.
GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
New/Revised Reports
Owner Report
Significant Code Changes
The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 3.91.
libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cmake isn't able to find Google test without help.Unit tests for Scheme code with SRFI64.
Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0)
gnc:substring-replace-from-to

account properties
Bug 797489 - No option to use account codes in Budget View - Part2
Add option to allow the account code column to be shown in
the budget tree view and as such the account tree view can
be sorted by this column
Bug 797605 - RFE: Customer/Vendor/Employee Overview should also have
"Process Payment" toolbar
Bug 797612 - Add a dialog to the imap_dialog to show invalid maps
Bug 797670 - scheduled transaction editor can remain open when switching
file, which causes seg fault when later closed
Bug 797677 - Price Database Saving Wrong Price for Foreign Currency
Bug 797684 - GTK_DEBUG=interactive - Bail out -
gdk_window_set_cursor_internal
Bug 797697 - Enable DEP and ASLR for the Windows build
Added hardening flags.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Fix 3 problems with the scheduled transactions calculations
* Set a monthly recurrence on the 10th with a start date on the 20th of
this month. The editor correctly shows the next occurrence to be on
the 10th of the following month. The schedule transaction summary
dialog incorrectly shows the next occurrence to be on the 10th of this
month (before the start date!)
* Set a monthly recurrence on the 19th, with a start date on the 20th
of this month. The editor's calendar marks incorrectly show the next
occurrence to be on the 19th of this month (before the start date).
* Set a monthly recurrence on the 18th, with a start date on the 20th
and an end date on the 17 of the following month. The calendar should
show no mark, but fails to erase the marks that were present.
Fix issue when editing the account tree view notes field
When you try to edit a multiline account notes field in the account tree
view you end up with just one line with control characters as it is being
edited with a GtkCellRenderText cell. To fix this I have added a new cell
renderer based on a text view.
Fix failed build of python tests and failed test in 3.10 tarball.
Updated Translations: Croatian, Hebrew, Ukrainian
3.10 - 10 April 2020
The eleventh release of the 3.x stable series.
This is a snap release to reverse the changes to the reconcile
window's filtering reconciled transactions with a reconcile date after
the current statement date when computing the starting balance. It
seems that many users' books have accounts with reconcile dates in the
future that were suddenly filtered out, creating an incorrect starting
balance and making it impossible to reconcile the book.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 620848 - Transfer Funds window - add Notes field
Bug 797006 - Balance is misleading in open subaccounts when different
currencies are involved
Bug 797318 - Amounts ending in zero displayed as fractions
Bug 797659 - Liabilities in budget report no longer calculate correctly
candidate fix.
Bug 797666 - libgnucash/engine/test/test-recurrence.c: In function
'check_valid': 'result' may be used uninitialized
Bug 797676 - Register displays amount in transaction currency...
instead of register currency.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
[window-reconcile] when reconciling, warn on splits having a
reconcile date > statement_date
[window-reconcile] when inputing statement_date, warn if it's after today
[find-transactions] add search for reconciled date
Show transaction value, not amount, for registers with subaccounts.
If the register has subaccounts in different currencies and a
transaction has splits in more than one, the transaction will
incorrectly appear to be unbalanced if we total amounts because the
balancing logic works on split values.
Revert "Bug 797659 - Liabilities in budget report no longer calculate
correctly"
Reverted for snap release. Not tested thoroughly yet.
Add instance argument to Session constructor in python bindings.
Enables a python console to connect to the running GnuCash's session.
Make python console less noisy without --debug.
Provide locals and globals of calling context to the python console's
shell on shell init
Make pycons/ishell.py compatible with Python 3 and current IPython
[eguile-utilities] prevent crash in balsheet-eg.scm
[eguile] escape-html -> gnc:html-string-sanitize
[qif-to-gnc] Properly mark intra-QIF internal transfers.
Translations Updated: Ukrainian.
3.8 - 29 December 2019
The ninth release of the 3.x stable series.
Note for German FinTS users: This release includes the latest fixes
in support of the PSD2 changes. The Mac and Windows bundles include

Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
The Customer/Employee/Vendor reports have been rewritten. The new

New stylesheet. Exposes a single text box for full CSS
customisability.
Allow account selection by typing into the post-to field of the payment
window
When sizing some register columns take account of 'Tot' being added.
Take account for the pop up button border in the register.
Change the date sample so it has the maximum text width possible
[new-owner-report] bugfix: balance row needs variable linked cols
Improve translations by scriptedly removing the removed colon suffix.
[report-utilities] bugfix: aging-list was incorrect. off-by-1 error.
[report-utilities] bugfix: overpayment works for AP accounts.
Swap the buttons around on the Budget Open dialogue
Swap the OK and Cancel buttons so they conform to the normal layout.
[report-utilities] bugfix: fix overpayment detection
For 1 payment to >1 invoices, previously would miscalculate
overpayment.
[budgets.scm] Budget reports handle both natural & reversed budgets.
This change is protected by a Feature: Using it will prevent the file
from being opened by earlier versions of GnuCash.
[gnc-budget-view.c] totals - 5 fundamental types
previous showed income/expense/transfers/totals budget totals, of
uncertain meaning. now shows income/expense/asset/liability/equity
budget totals. The 5 lines also become sensitive to the global
sign-reverse property.
bindings-python - drop references to gnucash-env
We no longer ship a gnucash-env script, directly use python(3)
instead
[balsheet-pnl] fix: single-date balsheet missed printing date
[balsheet-pnl] fix: hide Equity sections when not needed
* If currencies are not converted, Unrealized Gains are meaningless.
Hide them. * If there are no income/expense accounts, retained
earnings will be nil. Remove row.
Ignore trailing noise on imported transaction account numbers.
AQBanking6 uses a separate method for retrieving account numbers for
account info and transactions, where the transactions method can have
additional characters, most often the ISO4217 currency code. That
results in match failures when importing. As a work-around, compare
only the length of the account-info-generated online id when
comparing it to the transaction-generated one. Note that this is only
a partial solution: At least one German bank also appends characters
to the transaction-generated bank id and that will still cause the
match to fail.
[dialog-payment] Add warning label if payment is unattached
Completing a payment for a customer without associating with an open
invoice is allowable and is used for prepayments. Enable a warning to
inform that the payment does not have an invoice/bill document attached.
[aging] update error reporting
This error handling was for transactions in APAR accounts whereby
Transaction Currency != Owner Currency. An example is a manually
entered transaction, then assigned as payment to a customer with a
different currency. Update to modern API calls. Show the culprit
split details. Fixed example output: IGNORING TRANSACTION! Invoice
Owner: [None:] Transaction:Txn<d:28/10/19> Splits are:
Split<d:28/10/19,acc:Current,amt:$150.00,val:£150.00>
Split<d:28/10/19,acc:AR,amt:$0.00,val:-£150.00> Transaction
Currency:GBP Client Currency:AUD
Fixed German IBAN error message
Allow edit of some fields for posted invoice
Allow editing of some fields for posted invoice. For reasons, see bug
report: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797400
[average-balance] show monetaries instead of numbers in data table
UK VAT template: replace obsolete EEC and EC by EU
Implements the presentation of static optical TAN challenges (photoTAN
and QR) inside the enter TAN dialogue.
[budget] fixcrash: fix crasher for some periods
eg. the following combo would previously crash: - periods from next
to current - use accumulated amounts
[budget] fixcrash: prevent crash if periods start > end
It's silly to input start-period > end-period. Nevertheless handle it
by swapping them instead of crashing. i.e. report budget periods from
end to start.
[budget-flow] fixcrash: exchange-fn needs to specify exchange date
because some exchange-fn *do* require date eg. pricedb-nearest. use
the period end-date for the exchange date.
[portfolio report] There's no report-currency. Use currency.
[window-report] show backtrace when report crashes
* exposes a SCM string last-captured-error containing last backtrace
* when rendering report-crash window, include it
New Scheme Functions:
gnc:html-markup-ol: creates an HTML ordered list.
gnc:multiline-to-html-textt: creates html-text with <br/> elements.
gnc:make-html-table-cell/min-width: Create a table-cell with min-width
style attribute
gnc:collector+ and gnc:collector-
New Deprecations:
gnc:html-table-append-ruler/at!
gnc:html-table-remove-last-row!
Translations Updated: Chinese(Simplified), Croatian, German, Hebrew, Ukrainian

The eighth release of the 3.x stable series.
Note for German FinTS users: This release in concert with AQBanking

requirement that goes into effect 15 September 2019.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 605602 - precision of Financial Calculator seems to depend on
locale
Bug 746937 - Template transaction splits are loaded in reverse order
and then not sorted before saving. Actually not sorted
after loading because the template accounts weren't being
committed.
Bug 752395 - Start Day of weekly report doesn't respond to change in
locale
Redefines some functions to ensure weekly grouping in
transaction report obeys locale's start-of-week.
Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend, I can open
in read only mode. Upgrade the splits table as well, an
oversight from the original fix.

Bug 795251 - googletest detection cannot be overridden
Bug 796819 - bad icon with Spanish localization

Previous patch reverted and replaced with a more correct one.
Bug 797085 - Import Bills & Invoices – headers not translated.
Make strings translatable. Translators: This adds 22 new
translatable strings.

Bug 797339 - Online banking frame to small
Bug 797349 - "A"ssociate header badly translated.
Note to translators: This is about msgids of the form
"Associate:A". The correct msgstr includes the part up to
the ':' verbatim with only the part to the right of it
tranlated, e.g. "Associate:П" from uk.po. Each such msgstr
has a comment explaining this.
Bug 797353 - Add copyright and release info in appdata file
Bug 797355 - General Journal report seems to be off balance
Previously, for general-journal, each split was being
analyzed, and only the source split was counted for

multiple unmatched transactions to match them with a single account,
then right-click to bring up a single-item context menu sith
"Assign Transfer Account".
Set a FinTS product version key when the installed AQBanking supports it.
Reworking of many translatable strings with context to use the modern
gettext three-parameter function instead of the ':' hack noted in

Stop duplicate entries for the invoice taxtable cell
Do not log an error when no default tax tables are set.
Fix cmake dependency tree so that make/ninja check works without having

Remove the accelerator for the Clear buttons on the Loan Calculator
because they were all the same and also the same as the Close button's
accelerator.
Change the transfer account notation for single-split transactions in
basic view from "--Split Transaction--" (they're obviously not) to "None".
Correctly parse decimal values between 0 and -1 (e.g. -0.5) in register
caclulations: The negative sign was being stripped.
Require CMake 3.5 or later for all platforms.
Rework the building of libgtest.a from source when the builder sets

'From Namespace' and rename 'Commodity From' to 'From
Symbol' so they match the Security Editor.
Bug 797281 - Gnucash crashes when attempting to match online accounts

Prevent cutting the "anchor" split or pasting another split on top of
it in account registers so that the transaction won't suddenly
disappear from the register page. Displays an explanatory dialog just
like trying to delete the anchor split does. Allow deleting, cutting,
and pasting over all splits in Journal View registers which don't have
anchor splits because they're not associated with any account.
Disable editing the "blank split" (the new split at the bottom of a
transaction in split view) if the transaction itself is read-only.
Use the customer and vendor currency instead of the default currency from
preferences when generating bills, invoices, or credit notes.
Allow assigning a single target account to more than one transaction in
the import matcher. To do this select the new transactions and
right-click to open a single-item context menu. Click the menu item
to open the account selection dialog box. Note that imported
transactions that match transactions already in the eriger,
i.e. those marked "update" or "reconcile and update" are not eligible
for inclusion.
This feature still has some rough edges that are being addressed for
the next release.
Use the default currency from Properties>Accounts for the summary bar
currency to make it configurable.
Allow CSV export of grand total amounts from reports using the trep-engine.
Fix XML file import failures into GnuCash for Android.
Raise minimum CMake version to 3.5 for all platforms.
Prevent crash in Aging Report when the book has no AP or AR accounts.
Fix operation of the "default budget" option.
Change the account-picker dialog to disable the OK button instead of
raising a warning dialog if the selected account is a placeholder.
Fix crash after unloading all files from the QIF import assistant.
Disable the Next button in the QIF import assistant if no files are
selected for import.
New report "Balance Sheet-PNL" combines a Balance Sheet and an Income
Statement in a single report.
Rework localization in C++ on Win32 builds, fixing several crashes and
speeding up file loading by 10x.
Create a console window for displaying stdout/stderr. Define
__MSWIN_CONSOLE__ and recompile to enable.
Keep the selection in the Securities Editor on the commodity after
editing it.
Allow the Securities Editor to stack separately from the main window.
Much more Scheme cleanup and refactoring.
Python console improvements, including switching to Python3 and not
killing GnuCash when quitting the console.

3.5 - 31 March 2019
The sixth release of the 3.x stable series.
Note for Windows and MacOS users: The Gtk GUI framework has fixed
several substantial bugs in the Windows and MacOS backends, some of
which are so recent that they are not included in the latest
release. In order to ensure that the GnuCash all-in-one bundles have
those important fixes we are departing from normal practice and
shipping builds from the Gtk repository instead of from release
tarballs.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 639049 - Asset Barchart Report includes also the first day of next month transactions
If the original date is an end-of-month date, we take it as an
indicator they always want monthdelta dates to be end-of-months.
This works for monthly/quarterly/halfyearly/annual.
Bug 748431 - Wrong average balance for transactions during DST
Replace average-splits with custom loop, cycling through the
balancelist and splitlist, creating interval summaries along the way.
Bug 787401 - Test for the report system - HTML Tests.
Bug 795729 - Advanced Portfolio Report - Percentage rates not displaying leading zeros.
Bug 796498 - Incorrect starting balance in TXF Report calculations.
Bug 796530 - TxnCsvImport - fix loading of saved preset with update of seperator selection. Previously this would cause all but the first column to lose its assigned types.
Bug 796687 - Tax Entity name and type for an account won't work under "Tax Reporting Options" in Gnucash 3.2
Bug 796826 - Report HTML - not possible to suppress the document header.
Bug 796827 - Report HTML - it is not possible to suppress the document title.
Bug 796829 - Report HTML - HTML table rows are prepended not as list elements
Bug 796831 - Report-HTML - append table column correctly.
Bug 796877 - test-stress-options fails.
Bug 796946 - Mortgage and Loan Repayment Setup tool crashes when exiting "Loan Repayment Options" page.
Because libstdc++ on Windows doesn't support any C++ locales besides "C" and throws an exception if you try.
Bug 796952 - Report formatting (justify) is broken.
Bug 796956 - Aqbanking 6 will drop DTAUS
Adds support for the upcoming AQBanking 6 and removes support for AQBanking earlier than 5.3.4.
Bug 796965 - Change the default to show unused accounts.
Bug 796989 - some date/time does not honor user locale.
Bug 797002 - Program crashes when exporting tax data in txf format.
Bug 797011 - GnuCash 3.4 Crashes When Printing Checks with Custom Format.
Bug 797013 - Import Customers & Vendors: error in CMakeLists.txt - causes incomplete project in Xcode.
Bug 797029 - Import Customer & Vendors: blank name and company in import data row crashes GnuCash
Bug 797030 - Import Customer & Vendors: several issues with the matching of data rows.
Bug 797031 - Import customer & Vendors: import can create customer and vendors without address data
Bug 797041 - enum confusion in qoflog.
Bug 797046 - Tools / Price Database / Currencies UI not working since 3.4.
Bug 797067 - Date displayed incorrectly in register.
Bug 797074 - Reports with averages are displaying fractions
Convert amounts to decimal prior to adding to html-table. Also adds tests to make sure averages are displayed in 2 decimal places.
Bug 797098 - Quitting Gnucash shortly after clicking Save may abort file save.
Bug 797105 - Incorrect local-symbol for SZL currency
Bug 797136 - Balance sheet report "Show Exchange rate" broken when foreign currency is sold completely
For cases where total(amount)/total(value) = 0/0, the price is reported as 0.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
API: Add dedicated api to query build-time, version related compile constants and use it in several location in the code for consistent behaviour.
Budget: Save and restore the Account filter settings.
Build: Fix deprecation warnings for g_type_class_add_private.
CSV Tokenizer: Add additional test to guard against quote parsing regressions.
GUI: Replace ambiguous mnemonic for File>Export>Export Active Register...
GUI: Rearrange menu accelerators for Actions>Online Actions menu items
GUI: Add mnemonic for File>Import>Import Bills...
GUI: Move Balance-Forecast report to Reports>Assets & Liabilities
GUI: Move Void Transactions item in Report Options from the Accounts tab to the Filter tab.
I18N: Fix erratic localization of dates on Windows.
Date format selection on Windows relies on Windows National Language functions and those are unaffected by the POSIX setlocale(). We have in the past relied upon gtk initialization to handle this but it has not been reliable since the move to Gtk3. Note that this applies only when the locale is set via a Unix-style environment variable (typically LANG) or in the environment file; it's unnecessary and ignored when using the localization settings in Region & Language.
I18N: Unify phrases to remove untranslated msgids.
I18N: Restore the global locale after Guile munges it.
There's no way to change the environment locale on Windows so calling setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), as guile does in its init routine, reads the user's Language and Region settings instead of the environment variables. We save the discovered environment locale and call setlocale with it again after Guile has initialized.
Importing: Remove old (non-SEPA) online transaction code, because now in 2019 the banks will only offer SEPA transactions and no others. This in turn means we don't need the old ktoblzcheck checking functions at all so also remove the dependency.
Importing: Usability improvements for Bayes editor window
Remove the "Are you sure" question as it is simply annoying but does not help. Fix some string wordings to be more understandable.
Online Banking: No longer force existence of local BIC code.
Online Banking: Entering of TAN must use normal visibility
The visibility of the entered content was set to FALSE (=invisible) always, which was wrong for certain types of input as indicated by the GUI_INPUT_FLAGS. This should now be honored and visibility set to TRUE (=visible) for the correct flags.
Online Banking: Fix reconcile timestamps when importing balances.
Used to be start-of-day, but needs to be day-neutral.
Performance: Provide a single static instance of C++ locale.
We can't use std::locale::global because all streams imbue it by default and if it's not 'C' (aka std::locale::classic) then we must imbue all the streams that we don't want localized, and that's most of them.
Performance: Add GncDateTime::timestamp().
To provide a C++ implementation of gnc_date_timestamp and to avoid using the expensive and localized GncDateTime::format().
Performance: Implement a faster date-time serialization function.
Has the side effect of recording all date-times in XML files in UTC instead of local time with a timezone. This will help users who like to keep their files under version control because the time strings won't shift every time Daylight time begins or ends.
Performance: >Fix XML load CPU hotspot: Scrub.c xaccTransScrubPostedDate
The refactoring provides roughly 10% reduction in user CPU use for XML file load by moving an expensive function to within an if-clause where the result is used.
Performance: Speed-up of txn match dialog: Suspend GUI refresh during deletion of selected lines.
Performance: Sorting speed-up: Cache the bool value of Transaction's is_closing property.
Register: Accept URLs or file paths for files associated with transactions. File paths can be relative or absolute. A preference is provided.
Reports: Speed up the budget and cash flow report calculation by iterating over accounts only once.
Reports: Heavy scrubbing for code readability and performance.
Reports: New Report by Ryan Turner: Balance Forecast Report
This report forecasts the combined balances of the selected accounts based on the scheduled transactions and plots them on a line graph. You can set a "reserve" amount, which will draw a red line on the graph, so you can easily see if your forecast dips below a given value. There is also a "future minimum" line which shows what the lowest future balance will be at a given point. I find this useful in conjunction with the "target" line for planning.
Reports: Fix crash when loading saved-report with unknown choices.
If a saved-report with e.g. relative date, multichoice option is unknown, the report would crash, and the Report-Options would segfault. This commit fixes both: report-date defaults to 'today', multichoice-options defaults to default-value. Following this commit, if a report loads a saved-report or .gcm from a future version, a gnc:warn will be emitted and the report will not crash; it will use relative-date today. Multichoice will remain the default value. Report Options will not segfault. The user will be notified via a gnc:gui-warn dialog
Reports: Date intervals at end-of-month:
Instead of recursing the date, we calculate the next month using an index-based multiplier, and apply modulo/remainder as appropriate to determine the next month/year. Then we attempt to create new mktime, and if the resulting mktime's month is not as expected, reduce the mday by 1 until resulting month is correct. This fixes monthly intervals for end-of-month days. Test via monthly/quarterly deltas, and also includes leapyear calculation.
Reports: Date-grouping must allow indenting.
Indenting checkbox was erroneously disabled when: sortkey = date, date-subtotal = not 'none.
Reports: Table display
It is intuitive that if the user wishes to show the subtotal-table, and hide the transactions, then both the main (hidden) transactions and subtotals must be hidden as well.
Reports: Update US Income Tax information for 2018.

Scheme: Replace account and split utility functions with SRFI-1 functions.
Scheme: Testing (create-transaction) adds price trading commodities/currency this will modify a test which was calibrated to record purchase price only. fix transaction creation to add prices for both purchase and sales, and also fix test which was assuming no sale price was bring recorded.
Scheme: Testing (env-create-multisplit-transaction) This is the general case for any transaction creation. Rewrite other transaction creation routines to use it. All tests still work unchanged, which confirms this function works well. This will allow tests to create multisplit transactions, of an arbitrary number of splits. If the list-of-split's values are not balanced (i.e. total 0), the engine will create an Imbalance-CUR split.
The motivation is to allow creation of complex multisplit multicommodity transactions eg USD50 + GBP20 (USD25) = EUR66 (USD75) as well as their prices GBP/USD = 25/20 and EUR/USD = 75/66.
* USD -50
* USD -25 = GBP -20
* USD +75 = EUR +66
This will be useful in creating tests for stock-based reports, whereby stock sales need splits in STOCK/ASSET/INCOME accounts.
Scheme: Redesign gnc:account-get-balances-at-dates, replacing the ignore-closing? parameter with a split->amount function parameter having a default value of xaccSplitgetAmount. (split->amount split) should return the amount of the split or #f; in the latter case the split is skipped. This allows for a more general account balance list accumulator with novel balance strategies. For example a split->amount function could test void status and return xaccSplitVoidForerAmount on void splits; test description/memo for some content and vary the returned amount accoridingly; or test the split and return 1 or 0 creating a counter. To recreate the ignore-closing use case pass (lambda (s) (and not (xaccTransGetIsClosingTxn (xaccSplitGetParent s))) (xaccSplitGetAcmount s)))
Scheme: Replace some option names. Automatically convert usage of the old names and issue a warning.

Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
Set up filepath utils to determine the GNC_CONFIG_HOME in the same way
as GNC_DATA_HOME
Until now GNC_CONFIG_HOME was more or less hard-coded. Now it can be
set via environment variable GNC_CONFIG_HOME. In addition it will
automatically be created to avoid potential user confusion.
Redesign gnc-uri-utils
gnc_uri_get_components will now return NULL as protocol if the input
is a normal file system path instead of a uri (it used to
return 'file')
gnc_uri_get_protocol will now return NULL if the input is a normal
file system path instead of a uri (it used to return 'file')
gnc_uri_is_file_protocol now returns FALSE if protocol is NULL
(it used to return TRUE)
gnc_uri_is_file_uri now returns FALSE if input is a normal file
system path instead of a uri (it used to return TRUE)
a new function gnc_uri_targets_local_fs will return TRUE only if
its input is either a file uri or a normal file system path.
This function is now mostly used instead of
gnc_uri_is_file_uri in the current code base
a new function gnc_uri_is_uri is added to check whether its input
is a valid uri (has protocol, path and hostname for non-file
uris)
refer to 'scheme' instead of 'protocol' as that's the more formal
term used in uris
This involves renaming 3 functions:
gnc_uri_get_protocol -> gnc_uri_get_scheme
gnc_uri_is_known_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_known_scheme
gnc_uri_is_file_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_file_scheme
The *_protocol variants are marked as deprecated.
Additionally a number of local variables have been renamed from
protocol to scheme to support this change.
Show warnings for deprecated declarations
We're about to announce our own set of deprecated functions in
libgnucash. That would be pretty pointless if we also would silence
all deprecation warnings at the same time...
More report code-cleanup by Chris Lam, including deprecating the
following functions:
gnc:account-get-balance-at-date
gnc:account-get-total-flow
gnc-commodity-numeric-string
gnc-commodity-value->string
gnc:double-col
gnc:options-add-include-subaccounts
gnc:options-add-group-accounts
gnc:options-add-currency-selection
The following modules are deprecated:
report-system/collectors
report-system/report-collectors
Invoice: Remove H1 title and superflous option.
Printing the title twice is silly, so remove the option and the
H1 display of the title. Note that the remaining title is in a
div named "invoice-title" so it can be styled with CSS as the user
pleases from the Report Options Layout tab.
The preference, use formal accounting labels does not update the header
With a register open and you change preference 'use formal
accounting labels' it does not update the register header so add
a call back for the preference.
Make the grid lines of totals Budget tree view track the preferences
Make the grid lines of the totals tree view track the preferences
to match the account tree view above it.
Add routine to fix Account Color being set to "Not Set"
Previously the account color slot has been populated with
"Not Set" when any field for the account has been edited and
saved. This routine should run once and remove all such entries.
Performance fix in dom_chars_handler: use g_strndup instead of g_strdup
In the appdata/metadata file, rename the ID from org.gnucash.Gnucash
to org.gnucash.GnuCash to match flathub, and add a launchable ID
to link it to the desktop file.
Added double-click-on-file for the CSV transaction, price, and account
importers and exporters.
Cleaned up a variety of issues reported by the clang static analyzer.
Allow the text options widget to use all remaining space
The text option widget used for report options has only about 3
lines visible currently and will not use any available space in
the dialogue. Change the packing for this widget to expand and
fill the remaining dialogue space. If there are more than one text
option widget on a page then the available space will be shared
equally.
Add short_labels for a few toolbar buttons with long names. That should
fit a few more buttons on the toolbar.
Update iso-4217-currencies.xml, adddding VES - Bolivar Soberano, minor
updates of other VE currencies.
Python 3 bindings fixes and improvements from Christoph Holterman and
Sumit Bhardwaj.

loaded. It shouldn't be possible to load a transaction
without also loading its splits.
Bug 796474 - Segmentation fault while setting up online banking.
Allow only a single instance of the assistant.
Bug 796509 - Saved reports don't respect *some* 'Edit report options'.
Bug 796579 - Cannot go forward with empty duplicates screen.
Bug 796665 - Backspace Key Inoperable After Ctrl+V.
Bug 796669 - Dark Theme Text Colors Hard to Read.
Only add the register-foreground class when using Gnucash built
in colours. When this setting not used, the foreground colour
by default will be what ever the theme has set and will be
down to the user to over ride along with the other register
colours.
Bug 796724 - Can't overwrite gnucash DB on MariaDB.
Bug 796725 - 4 of 6 Date Posted options fail to return matching
transactions.
Bug 796734 - Auto-complete entry not highlighting to allow for incremental
entry.
Bug 796737 - Patch to restore gncmod-python.c.
Bug 796739 - Toolbar buttons have no labels.
Bug 796751 - reconcile window usability - R column should be next to Amount.
Bug 796755 - buggy window handling at startup.
Bug 796756 - OFX import fails to recognize associated income accounts.
Bug 796759 - --add-price-quotes <sql file> leaves a lock on the file.
Bug 796762 - Scrollbar partially hides the delete button in the Saved
Report Configurations window.
The vertical scrollbar obscures the delete button in the tree
view so add a dummy blank column to the end and set it to the
width of the vertical scrollbar.
Bug 796766 - Credit note creating 'imbalance' with wrong entries
Bug 796777 - CVE-2008-1391: Integer overflow in included strfmon function.
Bug 796788 - Strange behaviour in options of multicolumn report.
Bug 796792 - SaveAs Overwrite dialogue in background and not visible.
Bug 796812 - gnc_date_cell_get_date and gnc_date_cell_get_date_gdate have
different date validation behaviour.
Bug 796813 - Date validation inconsistent.
Bug 796814 - Changing a book's read-only threshold doesn't immediately
affect open registers.
Bug 796816 - Notes field in Duplicate Invoice dialogue is 'read-only'.
Bug 796819 - Bad icon with Spanish localization.
Drop translations of the 'gnucash-icon' string from our po
files and add a note for translators to not translate this
string or use the literal 'gnucash-icon' as translation.
Bug 796820 - References to 'Gnome Bugzilla' should be changed to
'GnuCash Bugzilla'.
Bug 796833 - Excel csv Format misprocessed.
Convert all line ending styles to the one expected by the C++
standard library before starting to parse a csv file.
Bug 796839 - Find transaction won't filter on Date Posted.
Bug 796858 - TypeError: in method 'qof_query_int32_predicate', argument 2 of
type 'gint32' on gnucash.gnucash_core.QueryInt32Predicate.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
Set toolbar buttons to show both icon and text.
And make the icon small to recover some vertical screen estate. The
motivation for this is that Gtk has dropped the ability for users
to change a toolbar's appearance. And as our icons are often less than
descriptive many users benefit from having textual descriptions as
well. This is the best compromise we can make until the gui gets an
in-depth redesign.
Add preference for forcing prices to decimal display.
Anticipating that some users might prefer to see exact prices, add
a preference to General>Numbers to configure whether prices are
rounded to decimals or are displayed as exact fractions.
Revert the "Average Cost" pricing changes made in 2.6.17.
These changes broke trial balances in many books.
Allow saving to xml over an existing sqlite3 file and the other way around.
Add customer/vendor ID in client section of invoices.
Partly fixes bugs 430259 and 742086; full fixes would require
not-backward-compatible data model changes.
Change the default filter for General Ledger.
The General Ledger default for the number of days shown is 30 but
for the Register it is 0, meaning show all. So change the default
filter based on ledger type and use this when determining if the
setting should be saved or removed.
Fix gtk accelerator mixups by explicitly disabling actions that are not
relevant. For example, File->Print and its variants for various page
types all use the same '<primary>p' as global accelerator. It was
possible to have gnucash invoke the 'Print Report...' action instead
of the 'Print Invoice...' action when hitting <primary>p on an invoice
page. If no report page was open at this point, gnucash would crash.
If a report was open, gnucash would invoke the print action on that
report instead of opening an invoice report for the invoice.
[job-report] Prevent Crash if there is no AR account
Add the ability to cascade account colours in account tree.
The colour on an account that has sub-accounts can be applied to its
sub-accounts; by default only those sub-accounts that don't have a
colour set are affected, but there's a preference to override that.
Speed up loading the preference dialog by blocking register updates until
the dialog is fully loaded.
Update change_tax_code.py, add basic test for python query.
Simplify GNCQueryView's data model: It was managing a number of redudant
parameters which were leaking memory all over the place. The information
that was tracked could easily be extracted from the underlying
GtkTreeView, GtkTreeModel or GtkTreeSelection when needed.
Open customer/vendor/employee report when double-clicking an the
respective owner the cust/vend/empl overview page.
Update Overview of README based on https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-September/042748.html
Many new tests for reports.
Some substantial speedups when loading large amounts of business
transactions from a SQL backend.
Clean up a lot of memory leaks.
Remove all use of Timespec in the program. Provide deprecated wrapper
functions supporting timespecs for custom reports; users should update
the reports as soonas possible.
Updated Translations: Farsi, Ukrainian
3.2 - 25 June 2018
The third release of the 3.x stable series.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 787401 - Test Report System - Report Definition.
Bug 794617 - Can't compile with -DWITH_GNUCASH=NO due to scm-gnome-utils.
Bug 795101 - Scroll Bar in Reconcile Window Floats in and covers the check
boxes.
Bug 795247 - datepicker broken in Persian.
GnuCash passes dates as integer y/m/d without using locale-specific
formats, so we need to strip out 'E' and 'O' from the format when
scanning dates or determining separators in gnc-date. None of '-',
'E', or 'O' are supported by boost (and '-' causes errors), so
strip them out from formatters in gnc-datetime as well.
Bug 795253 - Have problems input Chinese.
Bug 795272 - QIF importer causes application crash if action is invalid.
Bug 795276 - Invalid date on price stops file from being parsed.
Bug 795362 - Special variable "i" not parsed in function calls.
Due to balance tests with insane random values.
Bug 795471 - Impossible to Edit Budget Unless Maximized.
Bug 795519 - Credit card payment after reconciliation.
Bug 795666 - Backslash '\' in Description field spoils CSV Import without
helpful error message.
Bug 795831 - When read only threshold set, dates are silently changed.
Display a message box informing the user of the change.
Bug 795944 - Cannot store change to Business Suppliers data.
Bug 796079 - Repeatable Crash in Tax Report Options.
Bug 796081 - Tax Schedule Report - An error occurred while running the report.
Bug 796083 - Reconcile Selection Doesn't Work Anymore.
Bug 796117 - Connecting 3.1 to an existing mysql db drops all data
Provide a backup recovery function that instead of dropping
primaries and restoring backups merges the primaries and
backups. This should handle a worst-case safe-save failure where
the backup tables don't have a complete set of rows for some
reason.
Bug 796256 - Main Window stays hidden when starting after closing main
window while minimized.
Bug 796369 - Notes lost or perhaps just not displaying when using SQLite
backend.
This bug caused data loss if you saved your SQLite3 database to a
different file or database. The problem is that in SQLite3 (though
not in MySQL or PgSQL) the subquery ((SELECT DISTINCT guid FROM
transactions)) (note the double parentheses) returns only the first
guid in the subquery's results. Some transactions are loaded by
special queries and those queries are also used to retrieve the
transaction's slots so they weren't affected.
Bug 796398 - Restrict accelerator keys to valid date range.
Bug 796409 - Incorrect Current Value for Stocks.
Missed calculating the value in the register summary bar.
Bug 796423 - Cannot Input Chinese, seems does not work with other IME too.
Toggles not in view with all rows selected weren't being redrawn.
Bug 796484 - csv import: iostream error
Unfortunately it turns out that we can't use filestreams because
they can't take path arguments containing Unicode on Windows.
Bug 796527 - invalid currency on scheduled transactions.
* Don't even check for price/exchange rate on template
transactions, there's no point.
* Check all split commodities are valid, abort transaction
creation if not.
* If the template transaction's currency isn't used by any of the
splits set the new transaction's currency to the first-found
currency if there is one, otherwise to the first-found commodity.
Bug 796537 - Transaction Report cannot sort by "num".
Bug 796586 - QIF import incorrectly converts unicode characters from UTF8
encoded file.
Bug 796595 - QIF Import Select Account button to add a new account is
labled gnc-account-new but should be New.
Bug 796600 - stock split cash-in-lieu income/asset labels backwards.
Bug 796614 - Reconciliation report contains incorrect transactions.
Bug 796638 - configuration not properly saved for CSV transactions import
form.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
Transaction report improvements:
* Performance: Do all filtering ops before sorting.
* Move the options summary before the subtotals table.
* New unit tests
* Enable computing averages in subtotal grid.
* Generate the subtotal grid only if the primary sort key enables
subtotals.
* Fix subtotal grid to support multiple commodities.
* New filters.
* Much cleaning and refactoring of the internals.
Cache the num-split-action book option to avoid thousands of KVP queries
for the same value when loading a register.
Create a static string for book option KVPs to save an extra malloc/free
on old compilers without small-string optimization.
Add tooltip support for register cells.
New unit tests for the balance sheet report and invoices.
Consolidate charting code into a single module.
Removed an incomplete and abandoned C implementation of QIF import.
Restored libsecret support that had been left out of CMake.
Replace old-style html style attributes with css.
Modify emitted html to be parseable by the Guile SXML module for testing.
Remove support for long-gone gtkhtml renderer.
Clean up code generating html tables.
Ensure full precision of doubles is saved to SQL.
std::iostream's operator<<(double) uses only 6 digits of precision by
default.
Make float database operations more consistent, working around dbd-sqlite3's
failure to support doubles (dbd-sqlite3, not sqlite3 itself).
Prevent crash in gnc-tree-view.c: When getting information from the state
file, protect against the key not having a '_' which is used to split the
string.
Add the full account name to the saved register settings
If you need to delete the layout for a register in the settings file,
the only thing identifying it is the account guid. To make it easier
for humans, add the full account name also.
When register pages are restored it uses the full account name.
When register pages are restored, the account is found from the full
name so if the separator changes it will fail. Instead, also save the
account guid and use that as default to find the account falling back
to the full name.
Fix misplaced try block that caused unhandled exception if year out of
range.
Fix permanent storage of vendor details: Since the data types did not match
for the billterms and taxtable, those references/guids were not saved to
the database.
Update invoice reports to use totals calculate by gncInvoice. This should
give a consistent representation of invoice data across the application.
Ensure gncEntry rounding is consistent. Internally calculated values in the
entry are never rounded. Consumers of gncEntry's calculated values can
request them either rounded or not. Next use a pragmatical approach for
calculating values on invoices based on the entry values: do the rounding
such that we never create an unbalanced transaction while posting.
That means:
* round each entry's net value before summing them in net total
* accumulate all tax totals on invoice level per tax account before
rounding
and round before before summing them in a global tax total
Hopefully this will catch a few more rounding issues in this area.
A complete solution can only offered if we allow users to manually correct
tax entries. This requires changes to user interface and data format so
that's not going to happen in gnucash 3.x.
Use Scheme SRFI-64 test framework for new Scheme unit tests.
New compilers (gcc-8.0 and Xcode 9) bring new warnings, so several fixups to
mollify them.
Lowercase all cmake commands for better readability.
Metadate migration (2.6.x->3.x) fixes for Windows.
Ensure timezone is set correctly in FreeBSD.
Updated Translations: Dutch
3.1 - 29 April 2018
The second release of the 3.x stable series.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 118391 - Long currency names untranslated
Bug 769686 - Notes not imported when using update and reconcile in
import transactions from CSV
Bug 772776 - VERY large queries (over 11000 fields in IN clause) slow
down GnuCash
Bug 782144 - git-master - Save Corrupts Data File / Not Open Data File
Bug 792105 - Startup takes several minutes
Bug 793461 - Transaction matcher window blank when importing QFX
Bug 794767 - Dates default to 01/01/1970
Bug 794916 - Fails to find environment file at startup when installation
prefix is '/opt'
Bug 794936 - 3.0 does not open previously saved sqlite3 files properly
- corrupted business data
Bug 794941 - Both print icons export to pdf
Bug 794953 - Ellipsize on short tab labels
Correct error on when to ellipsize tab labels. Also as this
is used in two places separate out this to new function so
it is not duplicated.
Bug 794990 - Double click does not work on saved reports
When you double click on the saved report description nothing
happens. This was down to a conflict on a couple of call
backs and one of them was incorrectly setup.
Bug 794994 - Display Alphavantage key in full
Set the entry to expand so all the space is used to display.
Bug 795031 - 3.0 Crashes on loading when opening 2.6.19 file
Bug 795039 - Crash on startup using Technicolor Style sheet in report
Bug 795040 - GnuCash crashes when searching for a newly created bill
Bug 795049 - GnuCash 2.6.20-1 (Fedora Linux package) is unable to open
MariaDB.
Bug 795064 - Enable subtotal-only if either sortkeys are dates
This will allow 'show subtotals only' if sortkeys are
date-types. This allows, for example, prime-sortkey=date,
yearly. sec-sortkey=date, monthly.
Bug 795068 - src/optional/python-bindings missing several files
Bug 795080 - Some dates reset to 01/01/1970
An odd corner case: BST apparently came off of DST at 23:00
26 Oct 2014, so midnight that day was ambiguous about being
DST or not; that causes the local_date_time constructor to
throw in spite of the tm.is_dst element being 0 (meaning pick
standard time). Instead of just failing in that case, try
constructing a local_date_time three hours later then adjust
it back three hours. If *that* doesn't work then throw a
std::invalid argument.
Bug 795082 - CSV import crashes if a transaction's 'Account' field is
empty and no default Account set
Bug 795101 - Scrollbar floats and covers toggle buttons
When the scrollbar appears for the reconcile windows it can
float above the reconcile toggle button which make it
difficult to toggle. Move this column to the start which has
the advantage of aligning the amount column above the Total
value.
Bug 795142 - Unable to enter account codes in business sheets
In Bills, Invoices and Expense vouchers you can not enter an
account code in an account field like you can on a normal
register, enable this.
Bug 795155 - CSV import does not distinguish between deposit and withdrawal
Bug 795347 - Australian (GMT+10) OFX transactions imported have previous
days date
Bug 795377 - Reads and saves Gnucash 2.6.19 XML file, then can't reread
it, due to bad date in old file
Bug 795389 - Hard to see figures in the budget window
The budget view had hard coded black for normal values and
dark grey for other values. Changed this so normal values
are reset to default color and adjusted the grey based on
default color for theme.
Bug 795405 - All Dates in Price Database Off-By-One After 3.0 Upgrade
Bug 795446 - On Windows there is a blank tip of the day
When the tip_of_the_day.list is created a new line is
appended to the list file and on Windows this causes a blank
tip so remove the adding of the extra line.
Bug 795471 - Budget window scrolls edited cell out of site
When editing cells that have been revealed on the right by
scrolling the window snaps back to the left hiding the cell
being edited. This may be due to an underlying gtk issue
but these changes fix the issue visually.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
On Windows the tooltip for saved reports was incorrect
When the mouse was placed over a saved report description on Windows an
empty tooltip was displayed. Setup the query tooltip callback so it does
not display a tooltip for description column.
Fix crash when loading sql book with posted transactions
Add ability to recognize and use a pre-compiled libgmock.so.
html-font: add default font family
Windows ships with GTK2 in which the default font styles are named
"Sans" "Sans Bold" "Sans Normal" etc. There is no "Sans" font in
Windows; I vote to add a default "Sans-Serif" font-family which is
valid CSS. This ensures exported reports are shown as intended.
Several improvements to the Transaction and GST reports.
csv-impport - Allow empty amount fields
Treat empty amount fields as 0. This is necessary for example in
the case the csv import file has both a deposit and a withdrawal
column.
Remove the set transient parent setting for Reconcile window
The Reconcile option is already a window so it is not necessary to set
this value which allows the jump to transaction to work properly.
Date Format dialog flashes up when file/properties used
When you select the File/Properties dialog, in the construction of that
a 'Date Format' dialog flashes up while the date component is moved to
the properties dialog. Can mainly be seen on Windows so remove the
visible setting in glade file.
Prevent throw in gnc-pricedb.
If a price lookup is given an invalid time64/timespec (i.e. INT64_MAX)
then just return NULL instead of trying to find the nearest price.
Set GNC_VCS at build time instead of when making the tarball.
Because the tarball is always made from a VCS repo.
If there are no prices in the db, critical errors are flagged
When dialog transfer is used between two commodities and there are no
prices in the db a critical error is logged. Test for price object
being NULL before retrieving the price for the error message.
The following translations are updated: Slovak, Spanish
Known Problems:
It is not possible to overwrite SQL Databases from within GnuCash, even
though GnuCash will ask if you want to. Bug 789594
Several dates, including Accounting Period, are subject to change with
time zone and daylight-time changes. Bug 791825
Some HBCI information is not loaded correctly so the first transaction
download will re-retrieve transactions unless the beginning date is
set explicitly. Bug 792397.
The new CSV importer's Price of Shares column doesn't work. Bug 793306
The new CSV importer's numeric parser can't parse numbers of the form
x + y/z. Bug 793556.
Python bindings may not work in some installations because the bindings
are unable to find the backend modules (libgncmod-backend-dbi and
libgncmod-backend-xml). Bug 794526
Get Quotes can be slow if one has a large number of saved prices.
Bug 794644.
The Mac localization code can set the wrong encoding for strftime causing
the register's date picker to label months "Null" in some locales.
Bug 794807
On Mac, the File Open dialog will crash if one types anything.
(This is a Gtk+ bug). Bug 794809
An open register is not immediately updated when the Since Last Run
dialog creates transaction splits in the register's account. Bug 794854
GnuCash asks if one wants to save changes when quitting or opening a file
even if there's no book open. Bug 794870
Windows Defender falsly identifies the GnuCash installer as a Trojan.
Bug 794967
Some Windows users have trouble using Chinese input methods on the
Register; other controls work. Bug 795253
On Microsoft Windows the Tab key does not work in the register if the
caps-lock key is on. Bug 795294
GnuCash will crash if one attempts to import a CSV file with more than
1400 transactions. Bug 795383
Invalid input into a formula (Debit/Credit) field is inconsistent
depending on the input. Bug 795614.
3.0 - 1 April 2018
The first release of the 3.x stable series.
New Features for Users:
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.
New editors 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.
New Reports: A Reconciliation Report based on the Transaction Report,a
Income GST Report, and a Cashflow Barchart report.
A new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new
features including the ability to re-import CSV files exported
from GnuCash, along with a separate CSV price importer.
A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote
users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment. We've removed all
references to the various Yahoo! quote sources and made Alphavantage
the default.
Data file directories are now located appropriately to the
operating system's conventions by default:
- Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
- OS X: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
- Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
It's still possible to overried with the environment variable
GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of
GnuCash.
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. The Bayesian import maps are also stored in a
flatter structure to allow faster access, especially in SQL. These
changes mean that if you have Bayesian mapping data, once converted
your database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.20 and later.
MySQL and SQLite3 date storage has changed a bit. Once converted, MySQL
and SQLite3 database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.19 and later.
Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old
6-digit-maximum fraction is now 9-digits, and prices may have up
to 18 digit precision.
Chart Reports appearance is improved, including more modern chart colours
as suggested by https://clrs.cc/.
Transaction Report improvements, including regular expression filtering
and many more options and features including a "Subtotal Summary Grid"
The subtotal summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey
vertically, sec-sortkey horizontally. For example, with
prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date, sec-subtotal = monthly
will produce a monthly time series table.
The About dialog box layout is improved and now includes the detected
Finance::Quote version.
GnuCash will always build the locale-specific tax modules. This
was optional when building with autotools and never enabled when
building with cmake. Note that the only supported tax locales are
en_US and de_DE.
On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2
New Features for Developers:
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. KVP and GUID are
reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and boost::UUID respectively.
C++ unit tests require GoogleTest. While it's possible to use prebuilt
libgtest and libgmock on some distros, building static libraries for
GnuCash is preferred. It may be necessary to provide the paths to
the googletest and googlemock source with CMake parameters
GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT respectively.
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.
Distribution tarballs can now be built with CMake as well as
Autotools. (Rob Gowin)
We've reorganized the code into a core library directory, libgnucash, and
application-specific directory, gnucash. The python bindings are now
in a top-level directory, bindings; code pinched from other projects
is in borrowed, the account templates, check templates, and pixmaps
are consolidated in data, and common holds the cmake modules and test
framework code. The bin directory's contents have moved to the top
level gnucash directory and bin is removed.
There are now directories for gschema, gtkbuilder and ui files directly
in gnucash. In principle all files of each type should go into these
global directories. The only exception is if such a file belongs
to an optional module. In that case the file remains located inside
that module's directory. Currently we have ui, glade and gschema file
exceptions in aqb and ofx importers.
The build system is changed from Autotools to CMake. All options except
python bindings and the python console demo are enabled by default.
Highly parallel builds with Ninja are possible and recommended,
except on Microsoft Windows.
The Windows build system is rewritten to use MSYS2, Mingw-w64, Powershell,
and jhbuild.
Add a "pot" target to the build system so that translators can easily
generate a new gnucash.pot from a git repository.
Detect presence or absence of libxml2 and makeinfo during configuration;
abort if the first is missing and don't build the (mostly
obsolete) texinfo documentation if the latter is. Document
both in README.dependencies.
Replaced Timespec with time64 in the Scheme and Python bindings,
introducing many new C time64 functions to accomodate the
replacement. Timespec will eventually be removed from the C API
as well.
Some cruft removal in libgnucash/scm plus moving some code to its
only use location. "main.scm" is renamed to "utilities.scm".
The "printf" family of Scheme custom functions is replaced with
the built-in "format" facility.
Change a generally unnecessary warning about being unable to open
a module (usually because the file is still being created) to a
debug message. It appears mostly during highly parallel builds and
was distracting.
Appstream configuration is updated to the latest spec.
Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
* gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a
derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide
it from the user.
* gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily
useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from
transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with
different parameters.
For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts"
name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters
e.g. limited account types.
Drop intltool in favour or using modern gettext.
By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a
translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml.
For platforms where this isn't available, setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON
will allow building but some strings will not be extracted to
gnucash.pot
Pass GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT through to distcheck.
So that they don't have to be exported in the environment if they're
needed.
The Python Bindings and Console are now for Python 3, and enahanced to
expose more GnuCash API.
Compilation of GLib Schemas during build and installation can be
disabled by setting -DCOMPILE_GSCHEMAS=OFF. This is intended
*only* for distribution packaging scripts that run
glib-compile-schemas themselves. Otherwise note that if you install
to a DESTDIR you'll need to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving
the contents of $DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
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. The register drawing code has been
upgraded to draw directly on a cairo surface, removing the dependency
on libgnomecanvas.
GnuCash 3.0 adds the following dependencies: Boost, ICU, Googletest.
Known Problems:
It is not possible to overwrite SQL Databases from within GnuCash, even
though GnuCash will ask if you want to. Bug 789594
There is no theming tool for Windows or Macs so users of those platforms
must apply theming by hand. Bug 791823
Accounting Period dates are subject to change with time zone and
daylight-time changes. Bug 791825
Opening a large SQL database on Windows is very slow on some machines,
merely slow on others. Bugs 792105, 794482.
Some HBCI information is not loaded correctly so the first transaction
download will re-retrieve transactions unless the beginning date is
set explicitly. Bug 792397.
The new CSV importer's Price of Shares column doesn't work. Bug 793306
Importing an OFX file on Windows fails with an empty matcher window.
Bug 793461.
The Bayes account matcher can take a long time to convert the accounts
from name string to guids. This is a one-off, happening only the
first time one imports into an account on GnuCash 3.0. Bug 794334.
The new CSV importer's numeric parser can't parse numbers of the form
x + y/z. Bug 793556.
Python bindings may not work in some installations because the bindings
are unable to find the backend modules (libgncmod-backend-dbi and
libgncmod-backend-xml). Bug 794526
Get Quotes can be slow if one has a large number of saved prices.
Bug 794644.
Some users see 1 January 1970 instead of the default date in the New
Invoice or New Bill dialog and on the unposted bill and invoice.
Bug 794767.
The Mac localization code can set the wrong encoding for strftime causing
the register's date picker to label months "Null" in some locales.
Bug 794807
On Mac, the File Open dialog will crash if one types anything. Bug 794809
An open register is not immediately updated when the Since Last Run
dialog creates transaction splits in the register's account. Bug 794854
GnuCash asks if one wants to save changes when quitting or opening a file
even if there's no book open. Bug 794870
The Online Actions menu includes some obsolete and non-functional
selections. Bug 794880.
2.6.20 - 1 April 2018
This is the final release in the 2.6 stable series.
The following bugs are fixed:
Bug 765846 - Expense Over Time for subaccounts: An error occurred while
running the report: Fix crash if acc-depth too low.
Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7
Enable reading ISO-formatted dates, recognize
GNC_FEATURE_SQLITE3_ISO_DATES.
Bug 792008 - gnucash 2.6.19 fails to build
Replace g_assert_true with g_assert for now
Bug 793278 - wrong data in charts with accumulated values (like
"net-linechart", "net-barchart" and "liabilities barchart")
Bug 794030 - relative date functions compute wrong day of month
Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug
This change will fix 'num-of-weeks-since-1/jan/1970' which
formerly used quotient to remove the fractional part of the
division. For negative values of num-of-weeks, the number is
truncated in the wrong direction (i.e. towards 0). This
change uses floor instead to ensure the num-of-weeks found
is the nearest integer LESS than the fractional number.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
Online HBCI actions: Remove outdated non-SEPA menu items.
Add XML namespaces for all Account Hierarchy Templates.
General cleanup of Account Hierarchy Templates.
Fix auto-selection of splits in reconcile
Really use all splits of any given day. Up to now usually the splits
of the given date were not or not all included, as the time comparison
didn't correctly ignore any given time-of-day of the splits. Instead,
all possible time-of-days should be included.
Properly detect git in case of linked worktree
Account Hierarchy for India: Set LANGUAGE=hi and LANG=en_IN to access it.
Improve Import menu entries Customer & vendors...
use same menu label as others, replace template by tooltip, add ellipsis
to entry, add comments to distinguish "Import" as verb and substantive.
Provide preference panel to set the Alpha Vantage API key needed for
Finance::Quote.
Correct the appstream definition to match the current spec.
Fix collectors and min-date handling in reports.
Updated Translations: Dutch, German, Spanish, Russian
2.7.8 - 25 March 2018
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.8,
the ninth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0. This
release is a Release Candidate: If no bugs requiring major work are
reported the next release will be 3.0.
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.
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 787439 - Segmentation Fault in Transfer dialog after clearing
Date field and pressing escape.
Bug 794242 - Remove keep above setting for assistant hierarchy
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
When doing a file save from the a new start we have no key file
Test for Key_file not being NULL before trying to free it.
Stop critical error due to testing null filename
g_filename_from_uri returns NULL if it is not a file uri so test
for the file:// prefix before doing g_file_test
More transient-parent fixes.
Add missing response section to the account picker dialog.
Glade 3.20 adds surplus padding option to action area
When glade files are saved which have GtkAssistants defined a packing
section is added to the assistant action area which then causes a
warning so remove them.
Add XML namespaces for all Account Hierarchy Templates.
Increase default options dialog size: The old 400x400 was woefully
inadequate for most options especially options involving account trees.
Updated Translations: None.
2.7.7 - 18 March 2018
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.7,
the eighth 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:
For Developers and Distro packagers:
The Python Bindings and Console are now for Python 3.
It's now possible to create a GncPrice from the Python bindings
with "gnc_price_create(book)", removing the need to clone an existing
GncPrice object and modify it.
Compilation of GLib Schemas during build and installation can be
disabled by setting -DCOMPILE_GSCHEMAS=OFF. This is intended
*only* for distribution packaging scripts that run
glib-compile-schemas themselves.
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 787439 - Segmentation Fault in Transfer dialog after clearing
Date field and pressing escape.
Bug 791831 - Add python3 support.
Bug 794242 - Remove keep above setting for assistant hierarchy
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
Fix date corruption in SQL load. Four date elements were affected:
GncEntry::date, GncEntry::date_entered, GncInvoice::opened, and
GncInvoice::posted. This does not affect the stored values of the dates.
Fix lost Bayesian matches in SQL backend. The import-map-bayes uses a
three-part key that uses the same delimiter as a path and the SQL
backend was throwing away everything except the account guid.
More transient-window fixes and other Gtk3 cleanups.
Add xmlns namespace declarations to all of the accounts templates that
lacked it and remove the emacs mode-setting comments at the end of them.
Updated Translations: Spanish
2.7.6 - 12 March 2018
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.6,
the seventh 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:
Modernise chart colours from the dated CSS defaults to
modern colours as suggested by https://clrs.cc/.
Add "Subtotal Summary Grid" to the Transaction Report.
The subtotal summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey
vertically, sec-sortkey horizontally. This will be useful, for
example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date,
sec-subtotal = monthly... will produce a monthly time series
spreadsheet.
For Developers and Distro packagers:
Rework source directory structure for gschema, gtkbuilder and ui files.
There is now a directory for each respective file type directly in
<srcdir>/gnucash as was already the case for gschema files.
In principle all files of each type should go into these global
directories. The only exception is if such a file belongs
to an optional module. In that case the file remains located inside
that module's directory. Currently we have ui, glade and gschema file
exceptions in aqb and ofx importers.
Drop intltool in favour or using modern gettext.
By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a
translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml.
For platforms where this isn't available, setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON
will allow building but some strings will not be extracted to
gnucash.pot
Pass GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT through to distcheck.
So that they don't have to be exported in the environment if they're
needed.
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 764245 - multi-column reports include incorrect sub-reports
Bug 793460 - gnucash/import-export/csv-imp/assistant-csv-trans-import.cpp:1941
is impossible to translate.
Bug 793467 - GnuCash crashes when trying to open a binary file
instead of a CSV.
Bug 793699 - start_spath could be used uninitialised.
Bug 793900 - 2.7.5: test failure: 105 - python-bindings.
Bug 793941 - 2.7.4: test failure on i686: 59 - test-gnc-timezone
Don't test before 1916, that's not a common GnuCash use-case.
Bug 793947 - Impossible to render printable invoice
Bug 794031 - The checkbox "Placeholder" cann't be changed in dialog
"Setup selected accounts". Enable placeholder toggle and
provide callback. The text for this account tree view
specifies "If you would like an account to be a placeholder
account, click the checkbox for that account." but they were
not enabled and no call back was defined so enabled the
toggle button and provide callback.
Bug 794083 - gnucash-2.7.5: cmake+make build installs Makefile.
Bug 794137 - 2.7.5: test failure: 60 - test-gnc-numeric.
Fixed by overloading operator<<(std::ostream&, GncNumeric) to
call operator<<(std::wostream&, GncNumeric) and convert the
result to utf8.
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
Csv imp settings - internalize prefix handling
This information is not relevant outside of the settings code.
The way it's implemented now each settings module defines its
own unique prefix and the generic code can just use it when
needed.
Csv import - improve memory handling in the assistant class.
Make it more RAII, in that whatever the class allocates, it should
also deallocate. This simplifies a couple of memory handling cases.
The only exception is the generic import matcher that for some reason
has chosen to deallocate itself. To be fixed when more importers are
converted to c++
Add some background info on memory management in CSV importers.
As the assistant code combines multiple memory management models care
should be taken not to mix them up. The notes should give some
insights in how to do this.
Also fix a few minor issues
- delete default copy and move constructor/assignment for the
assistant gui class
- nullify a freed pointer
Lots of transient parent warnings fixed.
Fix Segmentation fault when going to File->New.
When selecting the File->New with existing register pages open a crash
can happen as the register pages get closed forcing a page-changed
signal to queue the page focus function when there is no page. Add a
call to remove the page focus function in the ..destroy_widget function.
Also with the addition of g_idle_remove before the add when page-changed
is emitted the page focus function only gets run once.
Speed up GUID equality comparison.
Fix CPack package version number.
Currently running "ninja-build package" produces a file with an
incorrect version number. This patch passes the CMake version
variables into CPack to get the correct filename. Note, however, that
there's more work to do to get CPack to actually be useful and the
current CPack settings may be removed unless that other work is done.
Add spacing between border and text in dialog "New Accounts Hierarchy
Setup".
With register obscured the sheet kept being redrawn
When the register is obscured by another window, the sheet would get
lot of draw events. This was tracked down to getting the foreground
colour for the item-edit widget for the state GTK_STATE_FLAG_NORMAL.
Changed this to use the value obtained from gtk_widget_get_state_flags.
Use the gnc_prefs_get_bool values to update cache values.
This way is a safer way to update the cache values in case the settings
changed signal fails to trigger or there is a double trigger and the
cached value gets out of sync with the preference value.
Updated Translations: German, Norwegian, Spanish
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
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
2.7.5 - 25 February 2018
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.5,
the sixth 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:
Locate all user data and configuration files to platform-dependent
standard locations:
- Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
- OS X: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
- Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
Further improvements to the Transaction and Income-GST-statement reports.
Transaction Report: omit display of $0 in subtotals in other currencies.
Previously in dual-subtotal columns, the dual-subtotal would
attempt to print all commodities in the row. This meant if user
chose common-currency thereby triggering additional commodities,
the dual-subtotal would attempt to add amounts in other
commodities which would be 0, and display the 0 amount.
For Developers and Distro packagers:
Some cruft removal in libgnucash/scm plus moving some code to its
only use location. "main.scm" is renamed to "utilities.scm".
The "printf" family of Scheme custom functions is replaced with
the built-in "format" facility.
Change a generally unnecessary warning about being unable to open
a module (usually because the file is still being created) to a
debug message. It appears mostly during highly parallel builds and
was distracting.
Added dependency information to all CMake targets, replacing a
dependency on build order that was carried over from
autotools. Highly parallel builds in ninja now complete without
interuption.
Ensure that all GtkBuilder and GtkUIManager files are correctly
installed and that no configuration of build products in those
directories are..
Appstream configuration is updated to the latest spec.
Fix installation of a gnucash-only gschemas.compiled overwriting
the system one. Note that if you install to a DESTDIR you'll need
to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving the contents of
$DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
* gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a
derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide
it from the user.
* gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily
useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from
transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with
different parameters.
For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts"
name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters
e.g. limited account types.
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 787095 - Gnucash Crashes when opening old XML file.
Bug 792157 - Cannot create account with different currency
Bug 792833 - User specifies source of 'num' field'; either transaction
number or split action (requires at least GnuCash
2.5.0) Strip leading delimiters from KVP keys when
reading them from the database. Leading delimiters
are incorrectly included in databases created with
GnuCash 2.6.x.
Bug 792883 - cmake: no way to turn off -Werror
Prepend settings to CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
so that values supplied on the command line can
override the fixed settings.
Bug 792884 - cmake: gschemas.compiled missing
Bug 793122 - 2.7.3: ninja build fails.
Bug 793155 - Gnucash 2.7.4 crashes on launch MacOS 10.13.4 PB1
Bug 793278 - wrong data in charts with accumulated values (like
"net-linechart", "net-barchart" and "liabilities barchart")
Bug 793568 - "Cash Flow" report crashes
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
An optimization in the GncDateTime string constructor provides
substantial speed up of loading SQL databases, and one in
Scheduled Transaction creation will speed up creation of large
numbers of scheduled transactions.
More dialogs have transient-for set so that they pop up over the
window instead of in the upper left-hand corner of the monitor.
Updated Translations: German, Greek, Slovak, Spanish
A new set of business account templates for India's new GST; use
locale en_IN to enable them.

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.

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.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options,
and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous

New Features For Users:
A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote
users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment.
On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
The detected Finance::Quote version is displayed in the About box.
Removed all references to the various Yahoo! quote sources and made
Alphavantage the default.
For Developers and Distro packagers:
The autotools build system has been removed.
Add a "pot" target to the build system so that translators can easily
generate a new gnucash.pot from a git repository.
Improve handling of generated distributable files
Fix make dist on a clean checkout
cmake with unix makefiles fails to resolve dist dependencies
added from COPY_FROM_BUILD if these dependencies aren't built
yet. This commit replaces the COPY_FROM_BUILD based logic with
two new functions 'dist_add_configured' and
'dist_add_generated' to indicate which files should be
included in the dist tarball. The latter also adds a target
level dependency to the dist tarball custom command. Hence the
former should be used for files that get generated during a
cmake run while the latter should be used for files generated
as the result of a 'make/ninja-build' run (like files for
which an add_custom_command rule exists). Note: this commit
also temporarily disables the dist target when building from a
tarball (and hence it won't be tested in distcheck
either). This will be handled in a future commit.
Add DL_LIBS to gncmod-gnome-utils target. Fixes a build problem in FreeBSD.
Detect presence or absence of libxml2 and makeinfo during configuration;
abort if the first is missing and don't build the (mostly
obsolete) texinfo documentation if the latter is. Document
both in README.dependencies.
Replaced Timespec with time64 in the Scheme and Python bindings,
introducing many new C time64 functions to accomodate the
replacement. Timespec will eventually be removed from the C API
as well.
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 787497 - Disabling OFX, AqBanking or python-bindings support cripples
the dist build target
Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug
Actually about the number of weeks from/to 1 Jan 1970.
Bug 790845 - 2.7.3: massive test failures on some architectures
Bug 792106 - Wrong dates displayed
Bug 792809 - Register text difficult to read with GTK 3.0 dark themes
Add a foreground css class to override the theme value.
Bug 792947 - Missing translatable strings
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
The long-standing known problem, AQBanking setup crashing on Windows.
Webkit crashing the MacOS Gnucash.app.
Some Guile 2.2 issues are resolved.
Some bugs in the new Transaction Report.
Correct setting of WebKit version during configuration when the version
is cached.
The change to the Average Cost calulation introduced in 2.6.12 is reverted.
See the extensive discussion in Bug 775368 for mor information.
Fix our appstream id as per the appstream recommendation
Fix incorrect minimum dates in the net-linechart and net-barchart reports.
Fix a report crash if the Account Depth is too low.
Updated Translations: Dutch, German, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
The translations from goffice for the small piece of it that we use have
been copied into the corresponding gnucash translations.

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:
Bug 787497 - Disabling OFX, AqBanking or python-bindings support cripples
the dist build target. (Partial: The requisite files for AQB
and OFX are provided. There remain ways to break the
distribution.)
Bug 789928 - FTBFS with libdbi 0.9.0-5 on Debian
Bug 790620 - Failed to create file
"/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled.XY789Y".

Stop testing GObject's handling of invalid parameters
Updated Translations: Dutch, German, Russian, Serbian
2.7.2 - 26 November 2017
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.2,
the third release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.
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:
No new features this time, but a raft of fixes and improvements!
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 734865 - Assign as Payment... can silently 'unpay' a payed invoice
* if the selected transaction is already linked to an existing
payment, the payment dialog will present this payment again
(same partner, post-to account, same selected document(s), same
amount, memo, and transfer account).
* if the selected transaction is not linked to an existing business
transaction the logic will make a best guess as to whether the
payment should be for a customer or vendor.
* in both situations if the existing transaction has multiple splits
that can be considered as transfer (or 'payment') splits the payment
dialog can't work with it (it can only deal with one transfer split).
In this case the user will be informed that only one valid transfer
split will be retained and the others ignored.
* the other thing the payment dialog can't handle are APAR type splits
that are not associated to a lot at all. In case of transactions not
part of a business transaction they will be silently ignored on the
assumptions these were manually entered transactions with the
intention to be linked to business transactions. On the other hand
if such a split is part of a transaction that is also linked to a
business payment already, a warning will be issued these splits will
be removed from the new payment.
Bug 778692 - Assign as payment should work for employee expense vouchers
* if gnucash can deduce a partner from the transaction
that partner will be proposed this works for all transactions
that are part of a business transaction already and will
correctly detect pre-existing customer, vendor and employee
payments
* if no partner can be deduced gnucash will assume the
transaction to be a vendor or customer payment based on
the sign
* in all cases the user can change the partner type in the
payment window that's presented to any of customer, vendor
or employee to correct gnucash' suggestion.
Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend.
Wherin the problem is that MySQL's TIMESTAMP has a date range of
1970-01-01 00:00:01 to 2038-01-19 03:14:07 and is unable to handle
time_t of 0. MySQL's TIMESTAMP also assumes that input is in the
server's timezone and adjusts it to UTC. GnuCash has already done
that conversion.
Bug 789608 - Compilation problems when linking libraries.
Bug 789928 - FTBFS with libdbi 0.9.0-5 on Debian.
This one required handling a new error condition.
Bug 790550 - FTBFS: missing __init__.py
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
SQL parameter quoting is corrected in the backend so that only string
parameters are quoted. This caused trouble when trying to store SQL NULL;
the string 'NULL' is different from the value NULL.
SQL table versions weren't set consistently and a bogus version test could
cause some tables to be not loaded.
Better, more targeted handling of MySQL's penchant for setting
date-time fields to "0000-00-00 00:00:00" if it doesn't like the
input. This should be much less common thanks to fixing Bug
784623.
Major repairs to the "Dense Calendar" date selector.
Fix colors on graph reports so that the selections work and the defaults
are no longer transparent.
Two large batches of styling fixes for Gtk3 from Bob Fewell.
Fix the guile-compiled path in the environment file so that
GnuCash can start on Windows.
Convert the graphical reports to use GnuCash's rational numbers instead of
doubles for better accuracy.
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.
2.7.1 - 29 October 2017
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.1,
the second release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.
This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.
See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.
New Features For Users:
A new Cashflow Barchart report from Jose Marino
Transaction Report improvements, including regular expression filtering,
from Chrostopher Lam.
The About dialog box layout is improved.
GnuCash will always build the locale-specific tax modules. This
was optional when building with autotools and never enabled when
building with cmake. Note that the only supported tax locales are
en_US and de_DE.
The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master:
Bug 789298 - Prompt for file history update leads to crash during startup.
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
GnuCash no longer crashes on startup on Windows.
GnuCash no longer crashes when loading price data.
The Options Dialogs will appear over the application window
instead of wherever Gdk decides is coordinates 0, 0 on the
display.
Owners were not correctly linked to invoices in the SQL backend.
Building from a tarball with python enabled now works.
Fix Reconcile dialog always showing a 0 ending balance.
Fix the book being always marked dirty at startup if it contained
any scheduled transactions.
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.
2.7.0 - 17 October 2017
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.0,
the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.
This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.
See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.
Note: Version information in the splash screen and About dialog
will now reflect the date of the last commit used to build
GnuCash rather than the date it was compiled. This is to assist
quality assurance and debugging efforts by Linux distribution
maintainers.
New Features For Users:
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)
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)
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)
New Income GST Report and some improvements to the Transaction
report. (Christopher Lam)
Chart Reports appearance is improved (Carsten Rinke)
New Features For Developers
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)
KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and
boost::UUID respectively (Aaron Laws).
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)
Distribution tarballs can now be built with CMake as well as
Autotools. (Rob Gowin)
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
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/gnucash-guide/.
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.
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 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.

Updated Translations: Farsi, German, Japanese, Latvian, Serbian, Spanish
2.6.17 - 2 July 2017
The following bugs are fixed:
Bug 603379 - Prevent changing some Account Options if it has transactions
Followup: Relax the account type change restrictions again.
In the new implementation account types can'tz be changed
for an account with splits:
- if the change woud force a commodity change
(to/from normal accounts from/to stock related accounts)
- for immutable accounts
At the time of this commit the following account types are
considered immutable:
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts Payable
- Trading accounts
Bug 776396 - Foreign currency reports, amounts are not aligned correctly
Improve the styling of the table element used for foreign
currencies in the Balance sheet report so they end up
aligned with the other currencies.
Bug 780845 - link in github repo README file needs correction/editing
Bug 780889 - Split-register transactions result in invalid price:type
"transaction": Add 'transaction' to the schema and document
it in gnc-pricedb.h.
Bug 781634 - Alert on missing account currency when opening account
Also separate translatable commodity namespace strings
from those used in storage:
There is now a separate GNC_COMMODITY_NS_ISO_GUI
label to be used everywhere the user needs to read
'Currency namespace'. It's currently set to
'Currencies' and can be translated.
Bug 782274 - Transactions produced by Transfer Funds or Process Payment
dialogs sort to beginning of day and do not honor NUM field
for custom sorting.
Bug 782897 - Stock Split Assistant crashes GnuCash if you enter a New
Price and that already exists in the Price DB
Bug 783095 - gnucash-2.6.16 segfaults on startup
Bug 784317 - typo in 'import customers or vendors from text file' dialog
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
Properly define the template namespace rather than using a local string
everywhere
Correctly store time64 0 in the SQL backend: The SQL backend ignored
time64 0 when saving dates. time64 is a perfectly valid timestamp
(1970-01-01 00:00:00) and should be stored.
Clamp time64 values passed to GDateTime functions to the valid range.
Fixes a bug reported on the mailing list wherein a date of 0000-00-00
in a MySql database would crash GnuCash. Such dates may come from a bad
conversion of 1970-01-01 or from a crash.
Add XSU to iso-4217-currencies
Some banks include additional purpose information for a transaction in
non-swift-section 17 (aka transaction text). If available, this
transaction text is put in front of the other purpose texts to provide
full transaction information. Adds a preference to control import
behaivour of transaction text.

Mac Localization: Prefer the country to the language for
fall-back locales. On the theory that in countries
where multiple languages are in use similar date and
number formats will apply regardless of language, and
especially that the default currency will be the same
regardless of language. Also ensure that the specified
language is in the list passed to gettext; the net
effect of which is that the user will effectively get
the requested localization behavior.

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs were accomplished:
Add business lot scrubbing to Check & Repair->All/This transaction(s).
Add context to generic translatable string. This was suggested in
Bug 671615 by Jérôme Rapinat.
Add scrub function to reduce the amount of lot links used. Only lot links
between two or more document lots must remain. All lot links between
document and payment lots can be scrubbed.
Add some date format checking and make sure generated dates are the correct
user selected format, not always locale format.
Allow the ability to skip rows when importing transactions.
Always use the price we display to calculate the current value of an
account.
Better period totals formatting in Invoices.
CSV Export: factor out function to generate regular expression.
CSV Import transform macro into function.
Convert ISO-8859-1 account chart templates to UTF-8.
Correct txf output to use a minus sign, rather than parenthesis.
Fix document type dispay for credit notes on owner report.
Fix test-backend-dbi segfault with libdbi-0.9.0.
Handle the case of scrubbing a lot link between two non-document lots.
Make scrub in lot viewer scrub business lots using the new scrub functions.
Move account type checking functions into the engine.
Prevent older gnucash versions from opening a data file if previously
unhandled kvps are used.
Python bindings. Add function gncVendorNextID, complementary to
gncCustomerNextID.
Re-enable loading and saving gnucashdotdir/accelerator-home on OSX.
Refactor OS-specific ifdef to reduce code duplication, which results
in reduced risk on typos in either branch
Refactor get_pay_split into gncOwnerFindOffsettingSplit. In this form it
can be used both for scrubbing lot links and for adding new payments
Refactor gncOwnerReduceSplitTo out of reduce_biggest_split. It can now be
used both for scrubbing and when applying payments
Refactor gnc_doc_doc_link into gncOwnerSetLotLinkMemo and move it. It can
now be used both for scrubbing and when applying payments
Refactor scrub_doc_pay_link into scrub_other_link and make it more generic.
It can now be used both to:
* move a payment to a document lot (its original use case)
* move a refund to a payment lot or the other way around
Relax requirements for booleans in invoice line, accepting 'y' as well as
'yes', 't' as well as 'true'.
Replace C++ reserved words for future compatibility with C++.
Rework assistant csv import regex code to eliminate the mandatory dummy
field.
Rewrite invoice payment logic to fix lot link proliferation.
SQL: Save commodity namespace changes from template.
Set default currency for French account chart templates.
Tweak the get_pay_split function to prefer the best possible match.
Use libsecret if available since gnome-keyring has been deprecated.
Use more significant digits for SX function returns.
Use same default setting for quotes in csv import and export.
Widen the scope of the subsplit merge scrub function. When used in a
strict sense it will only merge splits that are marked as subsplits
of each other. In relaxed mode it will merge any split two splits
that are both in the same lot and the same transaction.
double_to_gnc_numeric: Return overflow error immediately on invalid input.
Ensure that the root account is saved to the SQL backend.

2.6.0 - 29 Dec 2013
The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.0,
the latest stable release of the GnuCash Free Accounting
Software. GnuCash Users can experience the following new features:
* Preferences have been migrated from GConf to GSettings. This
is a simpler and more robust backend which writes to the OS's
native prefs -- defaults on OS X and the Registry on
MSWindows -- and allows us to remove several troublesome
dependencies including GConf, ORBit, and DBus. The change
includes a migration script that will run at Gnucash startup.
* New date handling which allows GnuCash to use dates after March 2038.
* Guile-2 compatibility: GnuCash now requires either Guile-1.8
or Guile-2.0
* Documents outside of GnuCash, images of receipts for example,
can now be linked to transactions, with the facility of
opening them in the default application for the document
type.
* Cutsom Reports can now be saved without renaming the report,
and modifications can overwrite an existing report.
* The import assistant now finishes much more quickly after
assigning contra-accounts.
* GnuCash now requires Gtk+-2.24.0 and GLib-2.26.0. Most of the
dependencies on obsolete libraries have been removed; only
libgnomecanvas remains. Unfortunately the effort to rewrite
the register code to use GtkTreeModel wasn't completed in
time, so GnuCash is not on the cusp of converting to Gtk3.
* The Business Module has been substantially revamped,
including support for Credit Notes and import of customers
and vendors from a CSV file.
* The Num field in the register display is now optionally
per-split, so for example a check number can be entered for
the checking account split and an invoice number for the
expense account split.
* GnuCash can now open locked books read-only so that more than
one user can view a file. GnuCash still does not support
multiple simultaneous writers.
* By agreement of all authors, GnuCash is now licensed under
the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later rather than
simply Version 2. This allows derivative works to be licensed
under the GPL Version 3 if the author of such a work so
desires.
* Fixed more than 500 bugs.
For those keeping score, the following changes have occurred
since 2.5.10:
Bug Fixes:
157247 - Asset account's "total" value should use most
recent transaction prices
710823 - libofx can supply broken UTF-8 for account id
710824 - GnuCash should sanitise UTF-8 before serialising files
to avoid writing broken unparseable XML.
720555 - General Ledger - Can't Enter Transaction Amounts
720556 - The Tip of the Day preference isn't getting saved
720646 - New Book Tabs on Windows
Other Changes:
* Don't create a second account hierarchy page when cancelling
the Hierarchy Assistant or when using Actions->New Account
Hierarchy on an already open book.
* Reset Warnings dialog: show translated warnings
* The locale-names for Help and the Tutorial and Concepts Guide
have been renamed to language-only so that, for example,
someone using the Swiss-German locale will be shown help in
German instead of English.
Translations Updated: British, Dutch, French, Italian, Lithuanian.
2.5.10 - 15 December 2013
This is the eleventh and final release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
It is the second beta release. Barring any surprises, we will release
a STABLE 2.6.0 on 29 December.
Changes since the last release have been entirely bug fixes
and translation updates, though not all bug fixes had
associated bug reports. Note that WebKit 1.2 is now tested
for in configure; it had been 1.0, but GnuCash wouldn't
actually compile with versions earlier than 1.1.5.
Bug Fixes:
336843 - Attach images/files/urls to transactions:
Disable the "show attachment" menu item if the transaction
has no attached file.
619478 - Build warning in html/gnc-html-webkit.c
627575 - Stylesheet names with non-alphanumeric characters
and saved-reports

when posting a bill
632588 - Scrub doesn't fix missing currency
639371 - Welcome Sample Report reports wrong version and
has a broken report
653594 - wrong amount printed on checks

Multi-currency "Post invoice" improvements
Protect gnc_mktime against bad dates.
Protect against null account pointers in a couple of place to
avoid asserts.
Qif Import Assistant: Don't disable the whole dialog, just the
Forward button
QifImport: Fix crash from attempting to import an empty file.
Add the ability to search for transactions that are, or are not,
book closing entries.
Move customer, bill, and invoice importers form the business menu
to the file menu.
Rename some directories in src/import-export so that the
gschema.xml.in.in files within them don't have pathnames that
are too long for tar when the GnuCash version exceeds 5 digits
(e.g., 2.5.10).
Translation Updates: Italian, German, French
New Translations: Arabic!
2.5.9 - 1 December 2013
This is the tenth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
It is the first beta release.
Barring any surprises, there will be one more beta release in
two weeks, followed by the release of 2.6.0 on 29 December.
Changes since the last release have principally been code
cleanup, including KVP storage in the SQL Backend, Python
testing in out-of-source builds, test failures when using
Guile-2, ensure that saved state (especially KVP) is deleted
along with the primary object, use the progress bar when
loading the PriceDB.
Translator note: We found it advisable to correct some typos
and to add two translatable strings "Bill Information" and
"Voucher Information".
Bug Fixes:
644044 - Lots: SQL backend loses link to Gain/Loss Txn
704506 - Connection loss to mysql after resume from hibernation
707311 - Tax Invoice fails to open when using guile 2
710871 - Python site-packages not found when not installed to

715184 - Bill or Invoice; a new Bill gives a new Invoice

Translations updated: German, Italian
2.5.8 - 17 November 2013
This is the ninth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series. This
release is the last alpha release.
String and feature freeze are now in effect: Only bug fixes
which have no effect on UI, API, or translatable strings
should be committed to trunk until after the release of
GnuCash 2.6, currently scheduled for 29 December 2013.
Translators: Please use the tarballs from this release to
prepare your translations.
New contributor Patrick has provided a beginning
implementation of linking attachments to transactions. This
is accessed through the Transaction menu and the transaction
context menu. In this initial version, linked files are
displayed in the default viewer for the file type. E.g., html
files will open in a browser and jpegs will open in the
default picture viewer.
Bug Fixes:
707311 - Tax Invoice fails to open when using guile 2
709589 - make check fails with guile 2
711289 - Time Zone Handling is Inconsistent between 2.4 and 2.5
Partial fix that may also correct 699997
711294 - Gnucash repeatedly ask associated income account
when import qfx file. Patch by Kuang-che Wu <kcwu@csie.org>
711493 - Fix unselected account that is NULL
Translations Updated: German
2.5.7 - 3 November 2013
This is the eighth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
Register2 is now a configure option. Default builds,
including the Windows and Mac All-in-one packages, will use
only the old register. We've decided that it isn't ready for
general use and the principal author doesn't have time to
make it ready in time for a 2.6 release.
Frédéric Perrin has contributed a change to display currency
symbols whenever they are known and unambiguous.
Geert Janssens has cleaned up most of the issues from the
initial GSettings preference changes. There's a new
configure option, --with-xdg-data-dirs to overide the
environment and defaults if necessary.
Building Gnucash now requires Automake version 1.11 or later.
Configure will abort if --enable-ofx is set but no libofx
configuration files are found. Budget periods may no longer
set to values greater than the budget's num_periods, and the
budget options descriptions will wrap. Contributed by Robert
Ratliff.
Bug Fixes:
668530 - In budget flow report options, change the maximum
value for period to 60 (Note the FIXMEs) Author: Robert
Ratliff
687478 - Bills due reminder doesn't work well with credit notes
687479 - Automatic invoice/payment matching on posting an
invoice should be an optional feature

also for SEPA transfers.
710871 - Fix for Python site-packages not found when not
installed to default location
710979 - Crash in gnc_plugin_page_invoice_summarybar_position_changed
Translations Updated: None
2.5.6 - 7 October 2013
This is the seventh release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
Geert Janssens has rewritten the preferences system to use
GSettings from GIO (GLib) instead of GConf. This is a simpler
and more robust backend which writes to the OS's native prefs
-- defaults on OS X and the Registry on MSWindows -- and
allows us to remove several troublesome dependencies
including GConf, ORBit, and DBus. The change includes a
migration script that will run at Gnucash startup.
WARNING: the saved settings in gconf are not (yet) migrated
to gsettings ! running gnucash as of this commit will start
you with default values for all preferences ! You can of
course change your preferences, your changes will be saved
properly in gsettings and restored when you restart
gnucash. But what has been set in GConf before will basically
be ignored.
Bug Fixes:
Bug 632362 - Unable to create "reversing transaction" again
after it is removed
Bug 654196 - "make check" fails when built with --enable-dbi
Bug 674862 - 2038 bug in libdbi
Bug 682280 - bill/invoice importer fails to save imported bills/invoice

Bug 708700 - "make check" fails (missing glib bits)--
Frédéric Perrin <fred+gnome@resel.fr>
Bug 704039 - time zone is not respected in Windows -- Thanks
to Kuang-che Wu <kcwu@csie.org>
Translations Updated: Dutch
2.5.5 - 10 September 2013
This is the sixth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
No new features are added in this release.
Bug Fixes:
334939 - Account Report and Account Transaction Report are
apparently the same, but different. Change menu entry for the single
transaction Account Report from "Accout Transaction Report" to
"Account Report - Single Transaction" Author: Carsten Rinke
603183 - Equity statement shows incorrect changes
Add function gnc:account-get-total-flow to report-utilities.scm

charts). Add new procedure gnc:substring-replace-from-to
Similar to gnc:substring-replace, but offers the possibility to
replace substrings in a range of occurances. Add calls to
gnc:substring-replace-from-to to procedure gnc:report-run.
Filter out all occurances of jquery.min.js and jquery.jqplot.js
except for the first occurances. Author: Carsten Rinke
Translations updated: Lithuatnian
2.5.4 - 4 August 2013
This is the fifth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
New Features:
Register2 work: Restore the delete-transaction-up/down
feature, replace the filter-and-sort model with a qof query
which loads only a subset of transactions to improve speed,
and some date and cursor changes.
Aurimas Fišeras contribued patches to make CSV Account import
table header translatable, to fix translation of table
headers, fix dash marker usage, and some other translation
issues.

This is the fourth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
New Features:
Save and Save As for custom report templates (Geert Jansens)
Customized report settings can now be saved without renaming
the report, and updates saved directly replacing the previously
saved report or "saved as" to a new name.
It's now possible to post multiple invoices from the find
dialog. GnuCash was crashing if you searched for all unposted
invoices, selected two or more of them, and posted them.
This was because the list of invoices to be posted changed
while it was being processed. As part of fixing this the
prompt for post date, due date, etc. will only be given once,
not once per invoice.
Register2 work: Better commodity/currency handling, sanity checks
when converting TreePaths, Posted Dates now work like the old Register,
PostedDate is now recorded only as a date, with no time.
Peter Broadberry contributed faster versions of several reports.
Bug Fixes:

The crash that occurs when duplicating multiple invoices from Find
results.

including better transaction editing without using the mouse and
some display issues.

freeze is scheduled for 2.5.5 in early September.
Translations Updated: Danish, German, Italian
2.5.1 - 5 May 2013
This is the second release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
Robert Fewell has continued his work on the GtkTreeModel register.
It is now the default for account registers.
Geert Janssens has begun work on replacing the GConf configuration
management tool with the newer GSettings API from recent versions
of GLib.
Tom Lofts contributed the beginning of a RESTful Python API

2.5.0 - 30 Mar 2013
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.5.0,
the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.6.0.
This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.
Robert Fewell has contributed a rewrite of the ledger
(Gnucash's primary interface window) to use the GtkTreeModel
(select "register 2" from the menu) as well as a new CSV
import/export facility for account trees.
Gnucash now requires Gtk+-2.24 and GLib-2.26. We've removed
most of the dependencies on libraries obsoleted by project
Ridley and will be in position to move to Gtk+-3.x once the
GtkTreeModel register window work is complete. This means
that Gnucash 2.5 requires Debian 6, RHEL 6, or one of the
more aggressive distributions like Ubuntu.
Gnucash now works with Guile-2.0.
The business module has been revamped and we introduce a new
feature, Credit Notes. It is now possible to import customers
and vendors from a CSV file as well.
The "Num" field is now optionally per-split rather than
per-transaction.
When opening a locked "book" one now has the option of
opening it read-only. Note that Gnucash is still a
single-user program and that the database backends are still
used only as a data store.
Gnucash is no longer subject to the "2038" bug, so that
30-year mortgages can now be entered correctly.
By agreement of all authors we have relicensed Gnucash to the
Gnu Public License Version 2 or later from just Version 2.

2.4.0 - 20 Dec 2010
The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.0,
the latest stable release of the GnuCash Free Accounting
Software. With this new release series, GnuCash can use an SQL
database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL. It runs on
GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX.
Major changes in the 2.4.0 release include
* In addition to the XML backend, Gnucash can now use a
SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL database to store the data. This
is a new implementation using libdbi. It supports all
features including the business features. In order to build
with this, add --enable-dbi to the configure command. In
addition to the libdbi-dev package for your distribution, you
will also need the appropriate DBD (libdbi driver) package
for sqlite3, mysql or postgresql.
* As a replacement for the current GtkHTML HTML engine used to
display reports and graphs, Gnucash can use WebKit. WebKit is
the engine used by Google Chrome on Windows and Safari on
Apple. In order to build with this, add
--with-html-engine=webkit to the configure command. You will
need an appropriate webkit-dev package. On win32, you will
need to download the webkit-1.1.90-win32.zip file from the
source repository and put it into the downloads directory of
your gnucash build area.
* Updated AqBanking on Win32.</li>
2.3.0 - 14 May 2009
o Welcome to GnuCash 2.3.0 the first of several unstable releases of
the GnuCash Open Source Accounting Software which will eventually lead
to the stable version 2.4.0. This release is the very first to use an
SQLite3 database as the default data store. It is intended for
developers and adventurous testers who want to help tracking down bugs.
o WARNING WARNING WARNING - Make sure you make backups of any files
used in testing versions of GnuCash in the 2.3.x series. Although the
developers go to great lengths to ensure that no data will be lost we
cannot guarentee that your data will not be affected if for some
reason GnuCash crashes in testing these releases.
o PLEASE TEST TEST AND TEST SOME MORE any and all features important
to you. Then post any bugs you find to bugzilla
https://bugs.gnucash.org/enter_bug.cgi
o If you have the urge to help beyond testing please get involved in
the discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you will find at
https://www.gnucash.org. Please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development
on how to get involved.
o Major new features:
* All features, including business features, are supported by a new
SQL datastore, which can use SQLite3 (default), MySQL or PostgreSQL.
The legacy XML data format is still supported
* Replacement of the aging GtkHTML engine used for reports/charts
with the WebKit engine used by Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome
web browsers.
o PS I'm not going to list the many minor features changed or updated in
this release because obviously there is so much that has changed.

2.2.0 - 14 July 2007
o Welcome to the GnuCash 2.2.0 Release.
o With this new release series, GnuCash is available on Microsoft
Windows for the first time, and it also runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD,
Solaris and Mac OSX.
o This release has only a few user-visible new features, except for
the completed port to the Microsoft Windows operating system. In
summary, the following features are new, compared to the older 2.0.x
series:
o Port to Microsoft Windows completed. Note that Windows 2000, XP, or
Vista is required; GnuCash does not run on Windows 98 or 95.
o Data file notice: In version 2.1.2 the format for scheduled
transactions in the data file was changed. Files using the old format
will be read without problems by this new version, but the new
version of GnuCash only writes the new format. The new file format
cannot be loaded by older versions of GnuCash. (If you try, the file
will fail to be loaded with an error message.) As a result, if you
begin using the new Gnucash, and you have data files with scheduled
transactions, then these files will not be readable by older
versions. If you have to make a new data file readable by older
versions of GnuCash, this can be achived by deleting all records of
scheduled transactions in the scheduled transaction editor.
o SWIG is now used instead of g-wrap for providing language bindings.
o The Scheduled Transaction list view is now improved and summarized
more compactly. The Since-Last-Run dialog has been simplified.
o Check printing has been improved, with new formats and simpler
format descriptions.
o Automatic saving of the data file was added.
o Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.5 include:
o Updated translations.
o Improved handling of Online Banking wizard on Windows.

guarantee that your data will not be affected if for some reason

o The Scheduled Transaction Editor and Management dialogs have been
integrated into the overall GnuCash User Interface to give the user a
more consistent experience in creating scheduled transactions.
o Internally, the programming language wrappers are no longer being
generated by the not-so-well-maintained package "g-wrap" but instead
by the well-established wrapper generator "SWIG". In effect, gnucash
does no longer depend on g-wrap anymore but uses SWIG now.
o New printing formats for check printing
o Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.0 include:
o Internal GObject integration is much more advanced by now
o Crash on OFX import crashing has been fixed
o Windows timezone problems fixed

o PS I'm not going to list the many features changed or updated in

again; Bank-internal money transfers are now supported, if
the HBCI bank offers them; Setup wizard can now works with
HBCI, OFX-Connect, and other AqBanking backends; Fix

o Add configure macros for mips, mipsel, arm, and m68k; Fix
compilation on OpenBSD 64bit architectures
o Updated translations: German, Italian, Kinyarwanda
1.8.11 - 06 Feb 2005
o Add extra sanity checks and verbose error message if the setup
wizard of aqhbci cannot be found.
o Fix potentially missing initialization of gwenhywfar library, as
reported by Peter O'Gorman on Max OS X.
o Properly accumulate splits (bug #165053). Also fixes a (related)
memory leak
o Add explicit dependency on business-utils.
o Adapt to latest changes in aqbanking; external wizard name is no
longer hard-coded here but is asked from aqbanking.
o Enable debit notes again in HBCI.
o Update German translation.
o Thomas Bushnell's patch to protect non-backup pruning (#164875)
o Add the transaction guid to some error warning messages.
o Fix HBCI date range for statement download.
o Fix the last-day-of-month computation for leap years.
1.8.10 - 11 Dec 2004
o Don't use C++/C99 declarations. Declare variables at the top of
the function.
o Updated British English, Czech, Italian, Russian, German,
Brazilian Portugese, Dutch, French, Spanish, translations.
o Fabien COELHO's zero-balance patch to remove accounts of zero
balance from the report.
o Fix a broken recursion problem. Don't call show-acct? from
use-acct? so we don't recurse ad flictum. This recursive call isn't
necessary, just have use-acct? recurse unto itself.
o look in ${srcdir} for build-config.scm.in
o Work around problems with libltdl3.
o don't automatically try to (require 'format), so gnucash will build
on an slib-3 system.
o Added quote sources for Indian Mutual Funds.
o Skip the case when a token is the empty string. This caused many
warnings about a NULL kvp_frame lookup.
o Luigi Ballabio's automake patch to gnucash.m4
o guile-1.6 complains about string->symbol when passed a symbol.
o applied Vasil's patch to improve the transaction report for HTML
export purposes.
o Backport of CVS-head changes to improve register open performance
when working with large account trees (>500 accounts). The new code
caches the quickfill tree so that it is shared by all register
windows.
o create gnc:current-saved-reports, as the file to store saved
reports from cstim. Autoload the saved-reports file at startup
(after config.user/config.auto is loaded).
o Added gnc:report-generate-saved-forms that will generate the scheme
code necessary to create a new report from the saved options of an
old report.
o Added example Menu item "File -> Save all reports" that will call
the new report saving function for all reports. This would need more
work so that not all reports are saved but only the currently
selected one -- any volunteer may feel free to add that.
o Fix saving of report: It now appends to
~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 Statusbar tip is now more verbose.
o Add toolbar element for saving the current report.
o Add function for saving one particular report to the
~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 file. Add extra menu only for customized
reports.
o Remove the previous function for saving all reports since it is no
longer necessary.
o Apply David Reiser's patch for Quicken(tm) cheques with stub.
o Apply David Grant's patch to add TD Efunds.
o make the desktop file HIG compliant.
o change the gtkhtml order to search for >= 1.1 before < 1.1, in
order to try to fix #84707 on systems with multiple versions of
gtkhtml.
o Perry Smith's Null Account Patch. Make sure the security is a real
string before appending an account separator, so we don't try to
create a "null" account.
o Add option to include zero-amount splits in computations.
o fix xaccAccountGetBalanceAsOfDate() to properly compute the balance
at the end of the split list.
o Major change for HBCI, back-ported from HEAD. The HBCI online
banking is no longer based on the openhbci library but instead on the
aqbanking library https://sf.net/projects/aqbanking which is Martin
Preuss' successor of openhbci. This means that now aqbanking-0.9.5 is
required instead of any openhbci package.
o Fixes for x86_64
o Update for new LibOfx, this among other things, gives gnucash
Microsoft OFC support.
o Duplicate match tweaks in import code
o Andreas Rottmann's patch to support g-wrap 1.9.
o provide a default account name so we don't crash when someone
imports a broken QIF that has a !Account without an account name.
o Daniel Lindenaar's patch to implement a check-box in the Invoice
Post Dialog (with a default in the File Preferences) to choose to
accumulate splits when posting an invoice, or post a 1:1 mapping.
o Phil Longstaff's patch to prevent duplicate pricedb entries.
o Heath Martin's x86_64 patch
o Mark search criteria for translation -- somehow this had been
missed all the time.
o Change currency mnemonic for "New Israeli Shekel" from "ILS" to
"NIS".
o Identified and fixed several places with untranslated strings.
o Add configure check for libofx version 0.7.0 and respective error
message. Update docs.
o Improve importer performance by matching imported transactions only
against transactions in the proper time interval.
o send an event when a payment is processed so the invoice gets
updated as "paid" in the search window.
o Make sure we set the proper search-type when we create the query,
otherwise the search will fail later.
1.8.9 - 11 Apr 2004
o Updated Polish translation by GNOME PL Team, updated French, Czech,
Spanish, Russian, Dutch, German and Italian translations.
o dump-finance-quote - Be more explicit when a lookup fails.
o log-replay - Increase read buffer size.
o Make sure to verify that the items in the reconcile hash are still
around after a refresh.
o When the commodity is changed, then set the currency to the
currency of the last price entered for this commodity.
o Add Hungarian account templates by Sulyok Peter
o Patch by Geoff Kassel to work on OpenBSD (allow user to set
diffcmd).
o Don't test double KVPs, on the theory that they will soon be
deprecated.
o When computing the aging report, ignore splits that belong to
closed lots. This way we wont get the wrong values when the invoice
falls outside the 360-day window but its payment falls inside the
window.
o Add gnc_getline() function to read an unlimited line-length from a
file (so you're not limited to a buffer size with fgets() and the
like). It is similar to the getline(3) on Linux except the API is
different and it will always set the return string.
o Add workaround code for openhbci/chipcard problem.
o Add gnc_lookup_date_option() function.
o Add gnc_ui_account_get_balance_in_currency() function.
o Add preferences for summarybar.
o Add xaccAccountConvertBalanceToCurrencyAsOfDate() function
o Summarybar can now display a grand total of all commodities,
profits of a period of time and net assets at the end of the period;
summarybar can be configured with some options under
edit->preferences.
o Create two new functions to centralize date-selection option
creation.
o Export the new scheme functions.
o Modify Herbert's patch to centralize the date-selection option
code.
o Use the new centralized date-selection option-creation code.
o Fix a typo in the help (was --diable-gui).
o Add db-4.2 to the list of databases we search.
o Fix a problem with opt style installs.
o Rename from_xxx and to_xxx account tree widgets to left_xxx and
right_xxx.
o If in "accountant mode" call "transfer from" "credit account" and
"transfer to" "debit account" and interchange account trees.
o Remove the RECN cell from payable/receivable to stop confusing
people.
o Change Ukrainian "UAG" into "UAH"
o Commented out setting the memo always to "Auto-created split" due
to popular request.
o Fix for part of bug only allow auto-create SXes which have splits
to be created.

o Make the advance and remind spin-buttons editable.
o Change the upper bound on the advance and remind spins to 365
[days], with a page-size of 30 [days].
o Disallow the Scheduling of being-editing transactions in the
Register, preventing a class of unbalacned SX template transactions
from being entered and propogated through the system.
o Fix nasty memory-corruption issue; insufficent bounds checking on
array index.
o Better handling of various error cases in transaction-creation.
o When we have a problem parsing a credit/debit cell, indicate to the
user what occurred.

only show/allow-creation-of valid account-types in the loan-druid.
o Add ':' to the token list of allowable characters in the formula
cell.
o Fix precedence bug screwing up loan review page.
o Don't need to require format; main.scm handles it, and the default
"format" (simple-format) is sufficient to handle everything we need.
This allows gnucash to work with slib3.
o Add code to remove "intl/Makefile po/Makefile" from AC_OUTPUT in
configure.in prior to calling gettextize to make sure that you can
build from CVS with recent versions of gettextize. Tested with both
RH9 and RH7.3 to make sure it works with both old and new.
o Move variable declaration to the top of the block.

alpha platform.
1.8.7 - 14 Sept 2003

of our system. Fixes a dependency problem in 1.8.6 release.
o Small fix from hawkfan to get tests to work when building outside
srcdir.
o Fix a bug introduced by Matthew -- ANSI C does not allow you to
declare a variable in the middle of an expression. Move the
declaration to the top of the function.
o We don't need the trailing semi-colon because the #include adds
one. The double semi-colon causes build failures in some cases.
1.8.6 - 11 Sept 2003
o Updated Spanish, Greek, French, Czech, Slovak translations
o Fixed extremely stupid bug in the import value setting workaround.
o Fixed problem with SX formula_cell calls

didn't get commited for some reason, making the log replayer
completely unusable.
o Fixed crash during dialog startup on Solaris.
o Turn off scheme garbage collection during query->scm and scm->query
conversion. It shaves about 50% off the test-scm-query-string tests.
o Make test-scm-query-string test deterministic by seeding the RNG
with a known value.

o Add IS_PAID column and the ability to search for paid/not-paid
invoices.
o Add HBCI online transfer templates and make usable
o Fix a bug where if you unpost an invoice and don't bring the

or not.
o Don't constantly resize the invoice window every time we update
ourselves.
o Updated Italian, Brazilian Portugese, German, Czech, Dutch and
British English translation.

Invoice's total amounts.
o Change the log format to use GUID instead of C pointers, use
ISO8601 instead of proprietary form and log the Notes field.
o Port new log replay module from HEAD.
o Re-enable reversed legend in stacked barcharts. Needs Guppi 0.40.4
a.k.a. Guppi CVS, though, to actually work.
o Update the Polish Zloty for its new ISO currency code.
o Add ability to sort by Action and Notes.
o Fix the vendor window title to use the company name, not the

o Add API to the plugin modules to allow post-processing (scrubbing)
of the book after it is loaded from XML. This allows a plug-in to
post-process the complete book.
o Create a scrub function to clear up bogus tax tables due to a bug
which could cause tax tables to get created ad-nausium if you post
and then unpost an invoice.

which could cause bill terms to get created due to post/unpost of
invoices.
o Enable the exchange-rate dialog on "search ledger" registers.

properly if you change the invoice's owner.
o Don't use gnc:reverse-account-balance? to determine whether to

o Tolerate some HBCI banks failure of the GetSystemId-job.
o Don't allow selection of directory for save file.
o Add fancy-invoice report, to show what else is possible. It's not
really useful per se, but it is another example for users. To be
useful it requires some custom editing.
o Limit the commodity choices based upon the current account type.
o Add a new argument to the dialog creation functions to specify what
types of commodities should be presented.Also tweak the title of the
dialog based upon this argument. Remove the "new" button when the

to include the start date (Balance Sheet report).
o Don't print the "handling-request" messages when getting stock
quotes.
o Display selected pixmap when opening an options window.

o Added Italian account templates by Lorenzo Cappelletti
o Change HBCI online transfer action so that first the gnucash
Transaction is created and only after that the HBCI connection is
started. Necessary for later implementation of offline queueing and
multi-job execution.
o Clarify the part of the HBCI setup about potentially adding HBCI
accounts manually.
o Add a couple of extra checks to prevent crashing if the commodity
attached to a price quote has disappeared.

any price quotes. If the user deletes the commodity anyway, removed
any quotes are based on the commodity
o Enhance the get prices routine to handle a request with a NULL
currency.
o Fix a crash where removing items in the wrong order could cause
"Bad Things" to happen
o Sort the bills before displaying them, so they appear in a
consistent order (by date due).
o Fix a bunch more rounding errors, and add more precision to the
price.
o Change the description and action of Invoice and Payement
Transactions/Splits, to make it easier to print a check off the
posted transactions.
o Add Debit and Credit totals to Register report.

file is opened. Consolidate the code for manipulating the
View/Statusbar and View/Summarybar menu items. Work around a Gnome
MDI bug as best as possible.
o The numeric test regex was broken and would fail on ALL numerics,
causing all imports to be of value zero.
o Fix for creating new template transactions [from Scheduling
existing transactions], such that they have valid Posted dates.
o Fix for existing/old data without posted dates. If we encounter
the condition, fixup the transaction's Posted date to that of the
Entered date.
o Add LOT_IS_CLOSED and LOT_BALANCE query parameter methods
o Fixes for 64-bit architectures.
o Add gncQueryGetBooks() API to return list of books in a query.

gsave, and grestore APIs. All to allow sideways printing (by
rotating the image).
o Wrap the new print-session apis.
o Modify the AC_GWRAP_CHECK_GUILE() macro to take an argument, the
g-wrap module directory. Then actually test that the g-wrap module
loads. This should detect systems without slib installed.
o New gwrap check macro
o Deal properly when there are no prices for a commodity.
o Supply a start date (as well as an end date) and don't print
invoices that occur prior to the start date or after the end date.
The aging information ignores the start date, but not the end date.
This means the aging information will always be acurate through the
end date (even if all the invoices and payments are not displayed).
o Limit the itemized invoices/payments to the start/end date range,
but print out a "Balance" line if there is a non-zero balance as of
the start date.
o Nikos Charonitakis's account chart updates: added new carloan
account chart, updated account chart.

(out of business-gnome.scm) for future cases where we might decide to
ship the business modules separately.
o Fix the ofx test program to make sure it links on many weird
platforms.
o When we are asked to reload the report, queue the request, queue a
draw event, and then return immediately. When the draw event
happens, load the report then. This lets you hit Apply and then OK
before the report finishes loading.
o Make sure we can find libofx/libofx.h
o Include split transactions in the filtering of the transaction
report.
o Use a 'from' date to better compute the Net Income on the report.
o Change the default Search Operation for numerics from "less than"
to "equals" -- so by default you would search for an exact value.
o "eval" changed API on guile-1.6. Use the existing API to convert a
delta symbol to a delta time.
o Call eval with the right number of arguments based on early or late
versions.
o Change the date format string to be consistent with other places
(e.g. the check print dialog) and use '%' instead of '~'.
o Make the Bill Due Days option selectable based on the setting of
Notify Bills Due?
o Don't crash if you remove the last entry and then add another one.
o Deal with the case where the first transaction found for a
particular company is a payment
o Also print out any overpayment in the total column.
o Catch errors when running the child reports so we display the
failed report backtrace but also display an error and continue with
the multicolumn report.
1.8.3 - 03 May 2003
o Updated translations: Italian, Swedish, Danish, British,
Traditional Chinese, French, German, Tamil, Brazilian Portugese.

reference correctly.
o Fix the keypress handlers so they work properly for both the text
entry widget and the calendar popup widget.

disabling "double line" mode in the register. This prevents the
register refresh code from trying to update a cell that is no longer
visible.

o Add descriptions of new HBCI actions.
o OpenBSD fixes by Todd T. Fries
o New report "income vs. day of week" by Andy Wingo

name and contact name are the same and, if so, only print one of
them.
o Fix the glade settings so resizing the window will properly resize
the widgets.
o Save the entry cells before adding an it to the invoice, otherwise
it wont get sorted properly.
o Add support in business code for the to-charge amount.
o Don't ask the user in the general case when making changes to
entries. Generally the user should be allowed to make whatever
changes they want without being pestered.

guile-1.6
o Move currency conversion to gnc-pricedb.c
o Improve report for stocks and funds not denominated in report
currency.
o QIF imports don't assume that a date of the form XXXXXXXX is always
YYYYMMDD. Make sure a 4-digit year "makes sense"

error. Also check for pkgconfig
o Updated translations, po/de.po,
o Fix HBCI reparent warnings. Make the PIN dialog a bit nicer.
o Fixes to Postgresql backend.
o Changed the "ALTER TABLE table ADD COLUMN..." statements to conform
to the current Postgres implementation (and SQL 92) standard by
putting the DEFAULT modifier in a separate ALTER statement. This was
reported by Christopher B. Browne.
o Implement unpost function in invoices.
o Correctly open a help window when the initial URL contains a label
component to it.
o Make the reconciliation window respect the 'include subaccount'

text unlike a pricecell, but doesn't really want to do
auto-complete like a quickfill cell [what we had been using]. This
allows us to provide the gnome formula cell which can remap the
keypad '.' character based on locale
o Disallow the deletion of accounts with ReadOnly Transacation in
them. You must first "delete" the RO Txns before you delete the
account.
o NOTE: As of now you ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE G-WRAP >= 1.3.3

1.0b1 - 29 Nov 97
o Many, many changes by Linas Vepstas to give double entry
bookkeeping, sub-accounts, income/expense account types, and
the beginnings of support for the QIF data format.
o All "non-standard" libraries needed for xacc (xbae, libhtmlw,
and libComboBox) are now part of the xacc distribution, to
make it easier to build xacc.
o Applied XbaeMatrixSetCursorPosition patch (needed for quickfill)
to Linas's modified xbae src. (So quickfill works again.)
o configure script to make it easier to build xacc.
o The environment variable XACC_HELP will tell xacc where to
find the files for the hypertext help. If XACC_HELP isn't
set, xacc will default to "./Docs" as the help path.
0.9 - 08 Sep 97
o Lots of code-cleanup.
o Adjust Balance window.
o Reconcile window! Makes it easy to reconcile your account
at the end of the month when you get your new bank statement.
o Hypertext, context sensitive help. A pretty nice add-on,
thanks to libhtmlw, from NCSA Mosaic. (Now someone just
has to write some decent help pages!)
o Fixed busy cursor. Previously the code the switched cursors
caused the program to crash, so it wasn't enabled. Now it
works, and is enabled.
0.7 - 14 Jul 97
o Started adding support for account types other than "BANK".
Still no support for Portfolio and Mutual accounts. (They
are greyed out in the "New Account" window for now.)
o Changed the balance field to use red/black text to denote
negative/positive balance (instead of using a sign... If you
define USE_NO_COLOR when compiling, it will revert to the
old method of displaying a '-' in front of negative balances)
o Fixed bug in automatic transfers that cause the "From"
account to always be the first account, and the "To" account
to possibly be incorrect. Also, added "[To: ]" "[From: ]"
(with to account name, and from account name) to the start
of the memo field, so you can keep track of where the money
comes from/goes to.
0.6 - 28 Jun 97
o Fixed balance/reconciled field (in bottom right corner
of register window. (It sorta works now, with lesstif.
I don't know about motif... you have to leave the current
transaction for the balances to be recalculated.)
o Rearranged directory structure... the source was growing
to too many files to have it all in one directory.
0.5 - 6 Jun 97 Mostly, minor bug fixes
o verifyDate -- affects when accelerator keys in the
register window cause the date to cross a year boundary
o Fixed handling of the date in the transfer window. Before
if the user pressed the "transfer" button with an incomplete
date in the date field, the resulting date would be
undefined.
o If the user doesn't enter data in the description field,
The number field, the memo field, or one of the amount
fields, the the new transaction isn't added when the
user leaves the new transaction, or presses "Record"
o Now user is prevented from entering more than one '.'
in the amount fields in the register and transfer windows.
Also, the user is prevented from entering more than two
'/' in the date field in the transfer window.
o Fixed a (very small) memory leak in the transfer window.
o Fixed a bug in the transfer window that resulted in a
different amount subtracted from the "from" account as was
added to the "to" account.
o Fixed bug that caused a segfault when deleting the last
transaction in the register window.
o Now if the user is in the last transaction (the empty
transaction) in the register window, the "Delete" button
does not do anything.
0.4 - 3 Jun 97
o Added "Balance" and "Reconciled" balance to the bottom
right corner of the register window.
o The main window uses an Xbae-Matrix widget now, instead
of a list, in order to line up the account names, types,
and balances in nice columns.
0.2 - First (mostly) functional release. Most of the buttons,
and menu bar choices actually do something now.
0.1 - First demo release. Lots of buttons, and menu bar choices
Don't do anything. The register window is still pretty
buggy.
