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.
Chart-of-Account Templates Updated: Latvian, French, Swedish

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

and saved-reports

Fix the CuteCash (Qt GUI based) build
Multi-currency "Post invoice" improvements
Protect gnc_mktime against bad dates.

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

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

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

also for SEPA transfers.

installed to default location

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 708700 - "make check" fails (missing glib bits)--

to Kuang-che Wu <kcwu@csie.org>

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.

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
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash
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
http://www.gnucash.org. Please see http://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.

Software which will eventuall lead to the stable version 2.0.0. This
release is the very first of the gtk2-based GnuCash series and is
intended for developers and adventurous testers who want to help
tracking down bugs.

the discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you will find at
http://www.gnucash.org. We especially need people to help with
updating the documentation as all texts refer currently to the 1.8.x
series. Please see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to
get involved.
o PS I'm not going to list the many features changed or updated in
this release because obviously there is so much that has changed.
1.8.12 - 19 Oct 2005
o Online Banking/HBCI improvements: Debit notes are fixed
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
character encoding issues in utf-8 locales; Fix date interval
in the import transaction matcher for OFX and HBCI import;
Fix PIN entry bug.
o New currencies added: Romanian Leu, Bulgarian Lev, Malagasy Ariary
o Fix problem with long date formats in some locales (bug#170444)
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 http://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 HBCI transfer template management GUI added by Bernd Wagner.
o Added instructions about running under valgrind.
o Added a large set of valgrind suppressions for both guile and
gnucash.
o Change the reg_type to SEARCH_LEDGER so all the 'action' types
appear.
o Remove unused 'ledger_status' widget.
o At least be consistent about the background coloring of the month
labels, even if we're still not using GTK themeage correctly.
o Destroy the transient window when the widget is destroyed.
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.
o Use the account-list filtering capability of the GncAccountSel to
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.
o Make sure we always have intl and po Makefiles in the configure
script. Sometimes it was ripped out without being replaced.
1.8.8 - 17 Nov 2003
o HBCI - Improve error message when receiving zero balance from bank.
o Add account template for Swiss German businesses "KMU" by Tom
Winterhalder
o Add *big* account template for German businesses "SKR04" by Betina
Schmidt
o Add Catalan and Turkish translation, Updated German, Italian,
Czech, Greek and Dutch translations.
o Add Turkish account template. Updated Greek account templates.
o Remove debian scripts
o Add a comment about minimum string length
o Fix the ISO_DATELEN to be "long enough"
o Fix handling of HBCI direct debits (fix wrong textkey). Fix and
initially implement handling of multiple banks/users/customers.
o Fixed extremly stupid, old bug that causes weird HBCI errors.
Improved user messages.
o Refactor some GUI code. Improve user messages.
o BillTermDecRef should have been BillTermIncRef when setting new
bill term.
o Applied Frank Pavageau's patch regarding capital gains to handle
split transactions.
o Don't make a timespec with tv_sec == 0. Fixes some tests on the
alpha platform.
1.8.7 - 14 Sept 2003
o Use <libofx/libofx.h> instead of "libofx/libofx.h" as it's not part
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
o Merge missing part of 2003-05-28 commit. The log format changes
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 a "slots" parameter to allow for future expansion. Right now
this is completely ignored.
1.8.5 - 17 Aug 2003
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
TaxTables up to date, the total value shown in the register is
different depending on whether the cursor is on the current line
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.
o Add Subtotal and Tax labels in the summary bar to print the
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
contact name. Change the message when the company name is left blank.
o Create a new "date format" widget to let the user choose a date
format (and see the results of what the date would look like).
o Add "Deluxe Personal Check" type. Add support for printing to
"deluxe" personal checks. This prints the check "sideways" on a
US-Letter configuration.
o Backport the QueryList widget and associated usage (this allows
more places to have sortable column displays for query results)
o Improve HBCI error handling. Add more user feedback functions.
o Add support for KtoBlzCheck, a small checking package for
destination account numbers for German banks. Very small, very useful
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ktoblzcheck
o TRANSLATION_HOWTO: Added, by Jon Lapham
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.
o Create a scrub function to clear up bogus bill terms due to a bug
which could cause bill terms to get created due to post/unpost of
invoices.
o Enable the exchange-rate dialog on "search ledger" registers.
o Raise the import window after choosing a file.
o Change dialog statements to allow for embedded percent signs in the
messages. In other words, don't allow user input into the format
string of a printf.
o Change how the billterms option menu is used so it will change
properly if you change the invoice's owner.
o Don't use gnc:reverse-account-balance? to determine whether to
reverse the balance -- base it purely on the report type.
o Fix gncBillTermCopy() so it PROPERLY copies the bill term.
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
dialog is limited strictly to currencies.
o Show the running balance column by default in the register report.
o Annotate the window title to indicate whether a register is for a
single account or it includes all subaccounts.
o Change the register close dialog to include a cancel option.
o Don't close the register if the user cancelled.
o If the user has manually entered an amount, then stop automatically
updated the amount when the date is changed.

of several HBCI jobs.
o Add a "retained earnings" item under equity, and change the title
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 Fix 'Save As' so it can write to non-existing files.
o New data file should have same uid/gids original file.
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.
o Provide a new warning message before deletion if a commodity has
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.
o Differentiate between "file is already locked" and "we can't create
the lockfile" so we can let the user know.
o Fix the message to be more appropriate when we hit a READONLY
error.

be remembered immediately.
o Add "(Report)" strings to the various columns displayed in the
report currency.
o Set the date-entered on invoice transactions to "now" instead of
the post date. Thi lets us know when an invoice was actually posted,
or a payment was actually made.
o Support "gain/loss" balancing splits on stocks
o Apply patch to fix a number of off-by-one bugs in the loan druid.
o Adapted to latest gnucash-docs changes, by Jon Lapham
o Add code to read XML files with real namespace declarations.
o Make sure we define PWD, as not all shells define it properly.
o Workaround for multi-currency importing bug.
1.8.4 - 25 May 2003
o Fix transfer dialog to nothang if OK button is clicked w/o filling
in dialog properly.
o Add HTML::Parser to the list of items checked/installed.
o Updated translations: Brazilian Portugese, Czech, Italian, German
o Fix the "View xxxbar" menu items to track properly when a new data
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.
o Add INVOICE_POST_LOT query parameter methods
o Add an api to force an event even when events are suspended.
Without such an API, events can be lost if the event system is
suspended when the event comes in.
o Added gnucash wrappers around gnome-print's rotate, translate,
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.
o Use the correct columns when printing the Gain column, don't reuse
the same column as profit; we want to report different values.
o Don't let the user do anything with the options dialog until
Apply() finishes.
o Had the wrong number of arguments in gnc:account-get-balance-at-date
o Add some (commented out) code to support a start date for computing
the Net Income (aka Net Profit) in the Balance Sheet.
o Move the instantiation of File -> Properties into main-window.scm
(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.
o Turn off the report-total by default
o The Euroland currency rates were inverted in the transfer dialog.
o Chris Morgan's Baysian Matching code, to match transactions based
on Bayesian filtering of previously matched transactions.
o Fix a bug in the account name list when you you filtered down to no
accounts it would ignore the filter.
o The Account Separator option was moved to the Accounts page,
reference correctly.
o Fix the keypress handlers so they work properly for both the text
entry widget and the calendar popup widget.
o Force the cursor to the first line of a transaction split before
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 Fix HBCI close-on-finished checkbutton.
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
o Fix a couple strings to improve comments when owners and accounts
are missing. Direct the user to select them in the report options.
o When building the "name + address" string, check if the company
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.
o Guile-1.6 requires empty lists to be quoted.
o Symbols are not strings in guile-1.6.
o Fix "WeekDelta" and add TwoWeekDelta.
o Pop up a dialog if the user tries to transfer from a non-currency
account, and don't let them do it.
o Evaluate the date during get_predicate() in case the user just "hit
return" (and the auto-evaluate didn't happen).
o Fix crash during import of investment accounts.
o Fixes for GCC 3.3 warnings
o Fix HBCI user messages where chip cards were confused with key
files.
o Adapt to latest changes in OpenHBCI CVS.

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 Give a much higher importance to the date heuristics in the OFX
import.
o Disable skipping transactions which already have an online id
during matching, untill a fix for the "transfer between two accounts"

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

register.

All new register design -- modularized.
Many versin 1.0 ledger functions missing.
Splits added to engine.

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.
