2.1.5 - 02 July 2007
o Welcome to GnuCash 2.1.5 aka "Release Candidate 2", the fifth of
several unstable 2.1.x releases of the GnuCash Open Source Accounting
Software which will eventually lead to the stable version 2.2.0.
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.
This release is intended for developers and testers who want to help
tracking down bugs.
o WARNING: Make sure you make backups of any files used in testing
versions of GnuCash in the 2.1.x series. Although the developers go
to great lengths to ensure that no data will be lost we cannot
guarantee that your data will not be affected if for some reason
GnuCash crashes in testing these releases.
o Please test 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 Compared to the 2.0.x series, there are only very few user-visible
new features, except for the completed port to the Microsoft Windows
operating system. Minor new features compared to the 2.0.x series
are;
o Port to Microsoft Windows completed. Note that Windows 2000 or newer
is required; GnuCash does not run on Windows 98 or 95.
o The Scheduled Transaction list view is now improved and summarized
more compactly. The Since-Last-Run dialog has been simplified.
o SWIG is now used instead of g-wrap for providing language bindings.
o Check printing has been improved, with new formats and simpler
format descriptions.
o Automatic saving of the data file was added.
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 Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.4 include:
o Updated translations.
o German translation of Online Banking wizard is activated on
Windows.
o Improvements to Windows packaging.
o When adding custom reports to the menu, appropriate user feedback
will be given.
o Automatic saving of the data file was added.

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"

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.
o Refactor many HBCI functions to eventually enable queued processing
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.
o Various Postgres backend fixes

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).

warnings.
o Disable the test-scm-query-import test, since it breaks on
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"
o Fix hbci and ofx test for handling --disable correctly.
o Fix openhbci macro again so that it uses a C check program.

Remembered across invocations of gnucash.
o Default the save directory to the directory of the last file used.
Default the exports directory to the directory of the last file
exported, or the user's home dir for the first export. Remembered
across invocations of gnucash.
o Correctly handle the case where no stocks have been defined and the
user asks gnucash to get price quotes.
o Work around bug in ghttp library so that intl users whose whole
units/fractions separator is a comma can request web pages.
o Add "Default Report Currency" preference.
o Set invoice currency based on owner's currency.
o Use invoice's currency for printing the invoice.
o Make the progress bar argument a double instead of an int. This
gets around an issue with guile 1.6.
o Add a checkbox to search-for-all
o Changes to make the build system work on multiple architectures and
with multiple versions of the autotools suite. Make generated g-wrap
sources depend on config.status.
o Remove restriction on guile versions > 1.4 Provide a version
dependant load path variable for the SRFI location. (Empty in 1.6
since they're bundled with guile.)
o Limit QIF matches against only the accounts in the old group, so we
don't match against ourselves. This should limit the matches to only
"reasonable" matches.
o Remove "user name" and "user address" preferences, as they are no
longer used by anything.
o Create a taxtable option type using the new generic optionmenu code
o Create a default customer and default vendor taxtable option for
the "File Properties" option menu.
o Reset the search-type to "New Search" if we end up displaying no
results.
o Use the "New Search Limit" pref to decide when to start a new
search vs. when refine the search.
o Create two new global preferences: "Notify Bills Due?" and "Bills
Due Days"
o Added sources needed for OS X to dist.
o Lots more bugfixes, see changelog.
1.7.7 - 05 January 2003
o Welcome to Release Canidate 2
o Give the user better feedback on exactly what the exchange rate
means.
o Better handling of corrupt XML data files. Print better error
messages for unknown tags, or mismatched start/end tags.
o When checking for gtkhtml-1.1, make the lack of pkg-config a fatal
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'
flag any time it opens a register. Consolidate logic for opening a
new register. Enhance the reconciliation start window to update the
ending value when this flag is changed.
o If the amount is monetary, map the keypad decimal key to the
correct decimal character for the locale.
o Fix malformed URLs for bringing up a report options window.
o Add new option for specifying sort critera for piecharts and
barcharts.
o The report title should change when the report name field is
changed in the options.
o Add a smart function for going "back" from the "load a file" page.
If there are any files loaded it returns to the "loaded files" page
instead of the initial druid page.
o Add support for i18n of price source strings.
o Add icons to gtk only windows.
o Search on NOTES add code to prevent searching on template-txn
accounts so SXes don't show up in find results.
o Create a 'file compression' option and pass the data into the
backend. This is an option in the preferences.
o Provide a simple checkbook set of accounts
o When editing an exchange rate, always change the _VALUE_ of the
split, not the amount. This has the affect of keeping the visible
number the same and changing the "other" account.
o Add a set of business accounts to the account setup
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"
bug is properly fixed.
o Large set of fixes to the build system by John H. Pierce
<john@killterm.org>
1.7.6 - 22 December 2002
o Welcome to Release Candidate 1
o Put the build date into the about box for development versions
o Deal with broken QIF files that give broken bang-fields. In
particular, handle the case where it supplies "!Type Bank"
instead of "!Type:Bank"
o Fix g-wrap test to fail properly if it cannot find g-wrap-config
o Add "Edit Exchange Rate" menu items to the Actions menu and the
context menu
o Fix the amount display so that the exchange dialog always shows the
"amount" in the the local (register) currency.
o Add an additional module to check for (LWP aka libwww-perl)
before attempting to call Finance::Quote.
o Updated translations, po/nl.po by Hendrik-Jan Heins <hjh@passys.nl>,

place. Functions to record whether or not F::Q is installed
properly, and if so, whether a particular source is available.
o Change default new SX frequency to monthly
o Filled in a long-thought of idea for a formula cell: can contain
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

exist.
o Compute the implicit exchange rates for ALL transactions when
necessary. No longer requires the pricedb for printing split values.

register.

Splits added to engine.

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.
