GnuCash Changelog

What's new in GnuCash 5.6

Apr 1, 2024

Between 5.5 and 5.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 798946 - start/end of current/last quarter have off-by-one error
Bug 799093 - Cannot reconcile since v5.4
Bug 799179 - SLR won't allow change from "Reminder" to any other state
Bug 799210 - Bad encoding of accented chars in account names in "Import CSV" wizard
Bug 799213 - SIGSEGV caused by revising an auto completed transaction
Bug 799222 - Crash when changing the parent of an account that has had two or more levels of sub-accounts auto-created using the register in the current session.
Bug 799224 - Import of QIF gets Bug detected during duplicates (partial fix: If the new-splits object is null, it means the new account tree from the current import has no splits. Therefore the (apply min|max dates) will fail. Omitting the date query is a simple fix to prevent crashing. This is a partial fix because the crash is likely a symptom of another bug which causes the new account-tree to be empty.
Bug 799225 - QIF Importer Crashes Silently after "Start Import" Button: Don't allow a QIF investment transaction without an action (buy/sell/etc)
Bug 799246 - import matcher will rename incorrect splits
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend.
[gnc-dense-cal.c] sx popup: show date in preference (cf.locale) format because the date format preference is user-facing and customisable. it's jarring if the preference is dd/mm/yyyy and the display shows mm/dd/yyyy in accordance to the locale.
Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction.
Date parsing efficiency improvements.
Update minumum Python version to 3.8, made necessary by updating the C API in the Python bindings.
Replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig. distutils is not present in Python 3.12.2.
Query user via dialog for date when creating a reverse transaction.
More C++ conversions
Avoid deprecation warning for -py3 in swig >= 4.1
[gnc-commodities.cpp] gnc_new_iso_codes is a std::unordered_map
Replace some naked for loops with C++ algorithms
Convert gnc-commodity to C++ and make GncQuoteSources a C++ class.
[test-commodities.cpp] add some tests for gnc_quote_sources
Remove the SLR status sort as it is too confusing
Allow sorting of the transaction column in the Since Last Run dialog by schedule name or occurrence date. To sort by schedule name, a schedule name is first selected and then the column header is pressed to change order. To sort by occurrence date, a date is selected and then the column header is pressed to change order based on the date of the first occurrence. A tool tip has been added to indicate the sort order being used.
[gtest-gnc-numeric] add operator comparisons with example int64 numbers
[assistant-stock-transaction] store & retrieve associated account as metadata
Update Form/Schedule line references for 2023 for the US Income Tax Report
Update another gnucash-help to gnucash-manual

Bug 798025 - SLR Value entry not tied to location
Disable scrolling and the horizontal scroll bar while an entry has focus.
Bug 798760 - SLR OK button to complete value entry
With this change the Since Last Run dialog's OK button will commit an in-progress edit and advance to the next edit requiring input. It will close the dialog only if there are no more edits.

Bug 799156 - normalize_struct_tm() does not normalize seconds,minutes, and hours correctly.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Cancel the QIF import instead of inserting the default directory if the user cancels the file-selection dialog.
Memory leak fixes
Rename the scheduled transaction edit/new/delete menus to resolve a shortcut conflict.
Allow saving the sort column in the Since Last Run dialog
Ensure that Print Checks obtains for the check amount the sum of all splits in the current register account and subaccounts.
Ensure that report page actions are re-enabled after editing options. Some actions (Print, PDFExport, and Report Options) had been left disabled.
Ensure GncDateEntry always reverts to today if the user enters an invalid date string.
Direct cmake to find the base installed Python3 instead of the latest version installed. Reference Cmake Issue 24126, Cmake Issue 24878, and CMake merge request 8287. Note that this requires CMake 3.20 or later; users of older versions will still get the newest installed Python version.
CI: Run distcheck on one workflow to catch quickly instances where someone adds a file but forgets to update the distribution.
Primarily of interest to developers: We've added a new CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, Asan, with two options -DLEAKS and -DODR, both of which default to OFF. This creates a non-optimized, with-symbols build with the Address Sanitizer hooks compiled in. While the primary motivation is a CI run to ensure that there aren't any memory allocation errors revealed in the test suite, this is also a useful build to use when debugging a segfault crash, many of which are caused by use-after-free errors. When building on non-Apple platforms -DLEAKS=ON will add leak detection, dumping a stack trace for the allocation of any leaked heap or free-store allocations. Similarly and on non-Apple platforms only -DODR=ON will log violations of the C++ one definition rule.
Also of interest to developers: A new cmake option -DCOVERAGE. When on and in a non-optimized build this will instrument the program and libraries to count usage for every source line. The option also adds three targets, lcov-initialize, lcov-collect, and lcov-generate-html. The primary motivation is to assess the completeness of tests in CI, see Coverage-HTML for the latest results.

New in GnuCash 5.3 (Jun 27, 2023)

New in GnuCash 5.2 (Jun 26, 2023)

Between 5.1 and 5.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 777472 - reconcile does not work if transaction selected
Check that there's no outstanding activity in the current register page before starting a reconciliation. It is still possible to start modifying a transaction after the reconciliation window is open but this will stop the most common issue with the process. Starting a reconciliation from the account tree is left unprotected.
Bug 798564 - GnuCash is slow when there are a lot of open tabs/registers (37)
Lazily load registers as is already done with reports.
Bug 798597 - The word "Separators" needs two separate versions
Use "Character-separated" when it's a choice between that and fixed field width and "Select Separator Character" when it's a heading.
Bug 798695 - Deleting everything from the "Transfer" cell after suggestions pop-up restricts search to the first 30 accounts
Skip the search on an empty value and return all accounts in the combo box as it normally does if the account list is opened without searching for something.
Bug 798796 - Account list incomplete in report options
Allow stock/fund accounts that are descendants of Bank accounts to be selected for the Advanced Portfolio, Investment Lots and Investment Portfolio reports.
Bug 798809 - Multicolumn report error when reopened after saving.
Bug 798839 - Edit -> Preferences string not translatable (reopened)
Bug 798862 - Merge identical strings (reopened)
Ensure similar strings are identical and use double line view instead of double line mode.
Bug 798879 - RFE: [Transaction Report] add Running Total option
Bug 798885 - Accented character in folder name on Account Export (reopened)
Bug 798899 - Gnucash crashes during CSV import when using a template if the destination account is changed from one used in the template

Bug 798960 - Transaction completion horizontal scrolling opens without the new text being visible and remembers previous position/width
Bug 798966 - Uninitialised variable used in dialog-account-picker.c:dialog_response_cb()
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
The type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions has been substantially overhauled based on extensive user feedback. Matches are now only on the beginning of words and are now sorted by age since last use. This both substantially reduces the number of matches and prioritizes the most recently used as being the most likely candidates for re-use. To help distinguish cases of long descriptions where the match would be outside the popup's viewport the viewport is automatically scrolled horizontally so that the end of the left-most (right-most in rtl languages) matches is centered in the view. Completion can be aborted with the key or a new Don't autocomplete selection that's the first entry in the popup.
Fix lockup on Windows in type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions.
More budget-module sign fixes and improvements.
Lots of memory-leak fixes, GLib modernization, and code cleanup by Richard Cohen, Simon Arlott, & Chris Lam.
bugfix xaccTransGetTxnType: avoid returning TXN_TYPE_LINK incorrectly: A TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT will have non-APAR splits; a TXN_TYPE_LINK will not have non-APAR splits. This bug manifests as a regular TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT transaction being later voided being incorrectly changed to TXN_TYPE_LINK.
Including brokerage fees in Money Out calculation (if not ignoring them) in advanced-portfolio.scm report and updating the "advanced" tests to reflect selling fees being included into the money out value
[stock-txn-asst] Don't use the initial value in amount edit widgets unless they're valid. Otherwise the invalid value will log an error that will prevent later valid input from working.
BUGFIX: Actions > Online Actions > Show log Window does not open when it is first clicked.
cmake: check gdk only when building GUI
Get the tooltip working on "Online Banking Setup"

Between 5.0 and 5.1, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 765920 - Running balance not accurate when sorted different ways
Renamed option to "Account Balance" to avoid confusion with running total.
Added helper function to ensure running balance and balance forward are only shown when transaction are grouped by account and sorted as in register. In that case column heading remains "Running Balance" and balance forward is shown. Otherwwise column heading is renamed "Account Balance" and balance forward is not shown.
Also added missing code for Common Currency conversion.
Bug 797879 - [Transaction Report] running balance column not consistent with amount column for SAME transaction date
Bug 798461 - balance sheet shows positions with zero balances despite report options

Bug 798815 - flatpak run --command=gnucash-cli cannot download quotes since 5.0.
Bug 798821 - Crash when running report in window
Bug 798834 - CSS-based Stylesheet Help Button not working

Improve foreign currency handling in budget report
Improve handling of the blank transaction when the register is sorted in reverse:
Change the preference option 'Future transactions after blank transaction'
Change tooltip for 'Blank Transaction' in register to mention moving to the blank transaction.
Show the blank transaction at top of register
Prevent infinite recursion from gnucash_item_edit_focus_out when using an input method.
Create obsolete features list with first member book_currency.Obsolete features set in the book will be removed from the book's KVP and ignored.
Restore existence, but not implementation, of GNC_FEATURE_BOOK_CURRENCY.
At least one user has managed to get it set on their book so even though it was supposed to be unimplemented it got through somehow. Restoring it allows books with it set to load.
Offer to force edit non-identical fields when multiple matches are selected in the import matcher window. Previously only identical Desc/Notes/Memo were unlocked for editing.
Guard against there being no namespaces in the new security dialog
Fix Finance::Quote use on Win32 by dealing with Win32 rn newlines on return from finance-quote-wrapper.
Fix some menu labels that were not marked for translation
Fix category in CSV export with simple layout.
If Trading accounts is enabled, and the transaction is a transfer between two accounts of differing commodities, the CSV simple-layout export would incorrectly show "--Split Transaction--" as the category.
When configuring Guile use pkg-config before searching for binaries.

New in GnuCash 5.0 (Mar 27, 2023)

New Features:
A new Stock Transaction Assistant to guide you through entering most investment transactions for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. You can access it from Actions>Stock Assistant when the focus tab is the Accounts page or a Stock or Fund account register.
A new Investment Lots report showing a graph of capital gains and losses in a period by investment lot. Note that if you don't use the View Lots dialog to manage capital gains and losses this report won't have anything to show you. Use Reports>Assets & Liabilities>Investment Lots to see the report.
The Online Quotes facility has been completely rewritten and the old gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper programs have been replaced with finance-quote-wrapper. The functions performed by those programs may now be accomplished by passing commands to gnucash-cli -Q, see gnucash-cli --help for specifics. The perl module requirements have changed with the rewrite: The new version doesn't need Date::Manip but needs JSON::Parse instead. gnc-fq-update has been, er, updated to reflect that.
A new tab on the New/Edit Account dialog called More Properties includes entries to set a high and low limit on an account. That's coupled to a new column that's available on the Accounts Page, Balance Limit. If you set a high or low limit and the account balance falls above or below the respective limit an indicator will be shown in the Balance Limit column.
The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down list of possible completions instead of just one inline completion.
File import menu items for the MT940, MT942, and DTAUS formats is replaced with a single Import from AQBanking that supports importing any file format supported by AQBanking, including the frequently requested CAMT. (Note that some CAMT profiles are under the XML format.)
The import matcher now permits editing descriptions, notes, and memo fields in the matcher window before creating the transactions. Right-click and select from the context menu.
The report generated by the Print Invoice button on the Edit Invoice tab can now be configured as a book option at the bottom of the Business tab; this permits selecting a saved configuration of one of the standard invoice reports. Another option enables a delay, during which a dialog box will appear enabling the user to select a different report. Note: When saving a configuration make sure that the invoice number is not set or you'll get that particular invoice instead of the one that you pressed the button for.
Significant Code Changes:
Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 6.0):

gnc:register-option
The invoice option to gnc:register-report-create-internal
Report and Book Options:
This major change will affect everyone who has written custom reports in Guile Scheme.
The report and book options code has been completely rewritten in C++ with SWIG providing Guile Scheme access for reports. The new design requires directly registering options with for example gnc-optiondb-register-string-option instead of calling gnc:make-string-option to create an option followed by gnc:register-option to insert it in the report's options.
Value access is also changed: Instead of retrieving an option and then querying or setting its value with gnc:option-value one will query the optiondb with gnc-option-value, the arguments to which are the optiondb, the section, and the option name.
Supporting the new options backend the options dialog code in gnc-dialog-options, gnc-business-options, and the new gnc-option-gtk-ui have also been rewritten in C++.
Online Price Retrieval:
As noted under New Features the interface to Finance::Quote has been completely rewritten in C++ with much of the behavior previously coded in external perl scripts moved into GnuCash proper. This permits much better access to Finance::Quotes's facilities and in particular should provide much richer error reporting.
Stability Improvements:
There are hundreds of small changes to prevent memory leaks, reduce unnecessary memory allocations, and fix compiler and static analyzer warnings.
Use of deprecated API in C/C++ is now an error (with 3 exceptions), including for the minimum required version of GLib and Gtk.
Extensive changes to the CSV importer, resolving most known bugs.
Remove all unused variables and made an unused variable a compile error.
Move all extern "C" declarations into the respective header files and remove extern "C" wrappers around #include statements.
Separate the scheme financial functions into a separate module so that all other scheme code can be banished from libgnucash to bindings.
Modernization:
The menus and toolbars now use the GAction and GActionGroup actuation functions, replacing the deprecated GtkAction and GtkActionGroup APIs.
The experimental Register2 implementation is removed, as is the never-used Jalali calendar code and partly-written option code for creating a book currency.
New and Updated Translations:

Prepend the Ulitimate Creditor or Ultimate Debtor to the transaction description.
Bug 798565 - Import map editor: deletion of a map does not mark gnucash document as dirty
Bug 798573 - Tab Width Behaviour
Formerly when the notebook tabs on the left or right, the space used fluctuated depending on tab label width. This change sets the label width to the preference setting when the tabs are on the left or right but when top or bottom the width is set to the number of characters when shorter than the preference setting so they take up less room.
Bug 798578 - MT940 imports broken - all transactions have date of first transaction
Bug 798585 - segfault running sample script
simple_business_create.py.
Bug 798588 - sx scrubbing was using incorrect free function
Bug 798590 - Transaction report: wrong type argument in position 1
Bug 798598 - Selecting a line in a Vendor Credit Note changes display of Subtotal cell to 0.00
Bug 798611 - Date changing when changing timezone by one hour
When getting a date from the date editor anywhere in the program set the time to neutral time instead of the beginning of the day unless get_date_internal is called with GNC_DATE_EDIT_SHOW_TIME in which case the user-provided time is used.
Bug 798616 - Can't register amount greater than 9,000,000,000
Because when loading the value the split in the xml backend doesn't yet have a parent so the code tried to convert to GNC_COMMODITY_MAX_FRACTION and if the numerator was larger than 10^10 that would overflow. To fix it this changes the "don't know" response in get_currency_denom and get_commodity_denom to GNC_DENOM_AUTO which will normally leave the denominator alone.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
It is now possible to edit the description, notes, and memo fields of new transactions in the import matcher and to do so for multiple transactions. The option is accessed via a context menu on selected import lines.
Show GnuCash's installation and configuration configuration paths in the About dialog. List the same from the command line with a --paths option.
Add account hierarchy templates for locale es_AR

Replace the very obsolete ghelp: URI scheme with help: and install the documentation according to the XDG documentation spec on non-Mac Linux systems. This ensures that the Help menu documentation items work with Gnome 42 and later.
Conforming to the XDG documentation spec, rename the root page of the Help manual to index from help. This has the happy side effect of removing some special-case code from the macOS documentation links.
Standardize the top-level Equity and Assets account names in the French templates to "Capitaux propres" and "Actif" respectively.

Bug 798458 - Build failure with gcc 12
Bug 798474 - Windows 10: Mouse scroll wheel on register only scrolls 1 pixel at a time (instead of 1 line at a time)
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Added a BETA Stock Transaction Assistant to help create a variety of securities transactions. To try it out start GnuCash with the --extra option, open a stock-type register, and select Actions>Stock Assistant. Please note any issues on Bug 798004.
Remove the hard-coded default namespaces"AMEX", "NASDAQ", "NYSE", "EUREX", and "FUND" from the New Security dialog. These namespaces were added to the list of existing namespaces; it was necessary to create a commodity that used one of them to make that one an actual namespace, so users who have commodities in e.g. the namespace NYSE will still see that namespace in the selection list. Reasoning: The list was necessarily incomplete and confused new users.
Fixed the Income Statement report table formating so that all sections get laid out to the same width.
[Python Bindings]Implement some comparison and arithmetic operators for GncNumeric
Budgets are sensitive to readonly status
Disable some budget features if book is readonly
Fix suppression of "cut split/transaction" warnings for the current session
These were not working because they were missing from the temporary warnings settings schema. The warnings could only be dismissed permanently. Add them to the temporary warnings section of the settings schema.
Currencies in several locations not displayed correctly for Hebrew
[category-barchart] Added option to show ratios
[html-chart] Add format style option for numbers
Better wording for tax table changed info message.
[register] Checkbox any value other than 0x20 (ASCII space) is true, because it can be X or U+2716 now and could be something else in future. Fixes in particular the disappearing tax-included and tax-table in the Invoice/Bill entry register.
[Python Bindings]Provide the complete set of QOF enums in gnucash
[Pyton Bindings]Provide wrapper for qof numeric predicate
Python bindings already have some wrapping objects for qof predicates. This adds the one missing for GncNumeric comparisons. Additionally fixes a wrong number for QOF_NUMERIC_MATCH_ANY in example file.
Remove commodity-table.scm, no longer required after adjusting qif-dialog-utils
Preferences, Import: UPDATE AND RECONCILE should be UPDATE AND CLEAR on preference "Enable update match action" tooltip text.
[register] Enable horizontal scrolling with a touchpad.
[business]Add diagnostic messages to GncEntry and GncInvoice.
Replace code style guidance with reference to the wiki Coding Standard page.
Update Form/Schedule line references for 2021 for the US Income Tax Report
Update the register help label when cell read only

New in GnuCash 4.9 (Dec 20, 2021)

Between 4.8 and 4.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 797502 - (RTL) - Right edge of the reports are locked while scrolling down
Running gnucash in Hebrew, the right edge of the reports are locked while scrolling down and do not scroll with the rest of the report.
Bug 797618 - Spanish translation of Shares and Stock
Bug 797678 - OFX importer should supplement, not replace, existing Notes (and Description and Memo) fields
Add an "Append" checkbox to the bottom of the "Generic import transaction matcher" window to the left of the "Reconcile after match" checkbox. When ticked, this causes the imported Description/Notes to be appended to the matched transaction Description/Notes respectively. The selected ticked/unticked state of the "Append" checkbox is saved in a key value pair for the import account, so the next import for that account will automatically default it to the saved state. As these mods are limited to the code for the matcher window, this should work for all the imports that use it - ie ofx & csv file imports (both tested) & aqbanking (cannot test).
Bug 797772 - Allow reconciliation report to double filter by both posting and reconciliation date
Bug 798222 - Account search dialog: Pushing enter does nothing
Bug 798266 - Dropdown picker menu for category does not appear
Bug 798313 - "File/Import/Import Transactions From CSV" crashes Gnucash.
Bug 798320 - Error message indicating a crash of GNUcash when closing application - MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1419)
Bug 798325 - New Currency for Venezuela (VED)
Bug 798327 - Ofx import stops too early for multi-account OFX and one account has no new transactions
Bug 798335 - No longer possible to change trading account
Strip trading splits only if "Use Trading Accounts" is enabled for the book so that users who want to manage trading accounts by hand may do so.
Bug 798341 - Right align in Hebrew - Account screen
Bug 798346 - crashes when running check & repair
Bug 798352 - Decimal Precision when Entering Mutual Fund Transaction
Let xaccParseAmount parse up to 12 decimal places instead of 8.
Bug 798382 - Typo corrections in comments
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
More memory leak plugging and GList efficiency improvements.
Fix build with cmake older than 3.18
3.18 introduced 'cmake -E cat', but we still have to support versions starting from 3.14.
[account-piecharts] don't use gnc:make-internal-option
Several improvements to the experimental IFRS cost-basis report.
Fix two minor issues with displaying links in the Document Link dialog.
Fix obsolete links to bugzilla.gnome.org in translations.
L18N: Fix glossary/es.po:906: duplicate message definition...
901: ...this is the location of the first definition
[budget-flow] delay creating exchange-fn until a valid budget exists
because it needs budget period end-date.
[options.scm] Addon previous commit... need to initialize with guid
[options.scm] gnc:make-budget-option stores guid instead of object
because object may become stale if UI is used to delete it, leading to stale pointer and segfault. storing guid is safer, and will return null if budget is deleted.
support SEPA internal transfer
Fix issue with failure to run reconciliation with all accounts present in a multi-account OFX file. Do that by saving a GList of statements, rather than a pointer to a single one. Also freeing of info happens during the call to process_next_file.
Import of OFX files with many securities opens too many matching dialogs Because ofx import is currently split per target account, and since each security has its own accounts, importing such OFX is a tedious process. The fix is to only split the transactions if we identify a potential transfer, currently based on amount, date and accounts. To do that, we insert transactions one by one into a list, making sure we have not already inserted one that has the same date, and the same absolute amount. If we have, we keep this potential transfer for a second phase. A naive approach would loop through added transactions for each new transaction by that ends up being O(N^2), which matters if we have many transactions. Instead, I'm using a hash to make this O(N log N).
[date-utilities.scm] remove unused date selectors code & string
Adjust GNC_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_END
To match new signature of g_once_init_enter and g_once_init_leave.
Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.
glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.
Add explanatory note for gnc_add_scheme_deprecated_module test code
The immediate parent commit removes old deprecated scheme modules. Link to the old modules for example code.
[test-engine-extras] don't create splits of opposing amt/value signs
Splits' value and amount should never be of opposite signs. Fix test book which had created this incorrect value/amount pair. Strengthen env-create-multisplit-transaction to disallow test book errors.
[dialog-search] another QofQuery "q" must be destroyed
because qof_query_merge creates a newly allocated QofQuery, its 2 QofQuery must be freed separately.
[trep-engine] new option "Date Filter" to specify dates to filter by
[dialog-sx-since-last-run] don't allocate repeatedly to combine strings
[test-transaction] "Report Currency" renamed to "Report's currency"
Separate the warnings for "cut split/transaction" and "delete split/transaction"
[gnc-autoclear] Move autoclear algorithm into gnome-utils
GSettings - fix GObject warning when old prefs-version is unset
This will happen when current master (future 5.0) has been run at least once.
[utest-gnc-pricedb] add tests for gnc_price_list_equal
Also need to change PWARN which causes test failure, to PINFO
[reconcile-view][bug] dr/cr query tests amount instead of value
Because split->amount and split->value are generally of equal sign, EXCEPT in stock transactions whereby split->value can be zero and split->amount is non-zero. e.g. a stock split transaction. Querying the split amount instead will allow stock accounts with stock splits to be reconciled.
[split-register-model.c] Hide price==1 for zero-amount splits
mainly of interest in zero-amount zero-value splits in the stock register eg dividend splits.
[core-utils] introduce gnc:format
(gnc:format str [binding value]...) str will contain ${binding} which will be replaced to value.
[import-main-matcher] show destination acct for auto-match
GSettings - add 'deprecate' and 'obsolete' conversions for user preferences
'deprecate' is technically a noop. It serves to remind maintainers the 'deprecated' preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'obsolete' goes one step further in that it will cause gnucash to reset the preference, effectively clearing the value stored in the preferences backend. This is the final phase of a preference. Following this it will be completely removed from the GSettings schema in the next major release. Notes * 'deprecate' and 'migrate' are related. Both are a reminder the preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'deprecate' does only that though while 'migrate' will also trigger a copy of the old value to a new location in the databse. * This commit readds a couple of preferences that had been removed in the past to be able to properly obsolete them (and to test the obsoleting code)

New in GnuCash 4.8 (Sep 30, 2021)

New in GnuCash 4.7 (Sep 28, 2021)

Bugfixes:
Bug 87847 - RFE: Create a 'checkbox' cell type
Bug 766052 - Job report payments wrong when payment contains splits
Bug 797596 - New-owner - improved representation of payments with multiple non-APAR splits
Bug 798142 - Tax rate appears as a fraction
Bug 798180 - Update to macOS Big Sur 11.3 breaks Finance Quote
Bug 798205 - Some transactions dropped with no apparent cause or warnings for credit card ofx import
Do not exclude from import a transaction that has an FITID which matches an already existing split. This is because it (1) may be a coincidence and therefore the transaction needs to be added or (2) could be on a transfer from the account being imported to another bank account which has already been imported, and so needs to be matched, not added.
Bug 798208 - management fee transactions are ignored on OFX import
Bug 798211 - Equity statement double calculates unrealized gain
Bug 798219 - apply/OK truncates exchange rates from 4 to 2 decimal places; enter doesn't
Bug 798221 - Transfer funds between accounts with different currencies crashes Gnucash on macOS
Bug 798224 - Scheduled transactions are created with date-entered copied from the template transaction.
Bug 798229 - GncDate::c_formats is being created and destroyed twice resulting in a double free crash on every exit.
Bug 798234 - Cut Transaction discards the reference to the description/memo strings so that Paste Transaction will paste uninitialised data (or other strings)
Bug 798235 - Reconciliation Ending Balance not recalculated the 2nd and subsequent times Statement Date is updated.
Bug 798237 - Logging during XML file loading degrades performance significantly
Bug 798238 - "New security" dialog doesn't save the "Display symbol"
Bug 798250 - Gnucash permanent hang on save while loading report
Bug 798256 - Crash in recnFinishCB
Bug 798298 - Re-imported transactions no longer ignored
Bug 798303 - account list is sorted wrong by amount
Bug 798312 - Opening the help for dialogues in the wrong language.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Lots of memory-leaks plugged
Change the preferences path to org.gnucash.GnuCash to comply with flatpak requirements and migrate existing preferences to the new paths. This won't provide for automatic sync between a system-installed GnuCash and a flatpak one unless the system-installed one is GnuCash 4.7 or later. Please see the Wiki for more information and a procedure to convert your existing preferences.
Cleanup - minimal glib=2.56.1 - drop all conditionals on older versions
Add code to handle ofx files that include transfers between accounts
During transaction import, ignore splits whose account is not the destination account
Do not drop a potential match just because it has an online_id.
Now that we don't exclude from import a transaction with an FITID that matches an already existing transaction, if one accidentally re-imports a transaction, this allows it to be automatically matched against the previously imported transaction.
Add test for Transaction GetDate() in python bindings, pursuant to Bug 798284.
In find customer dialog, add a column for "Shipping Contact" parameter
Prep early splash screen messages for translation
Change text for SX preference option 'Review created transactions' to better align with existing SX text.
Fixed an XML backend problem where trying to open a locked file would clear the lock even if one didn't ask to, so the next attempt would find the file unlocked even if still open in another instance.
Fix 2 crashes in Generic Transaction Matcher
Handle very large denominators from Finance::Quote's OpenExchange source
Update file extension in man pages per mailing list post.
Fix missing mnemonic keys after changes to GNCAmountEdit
With the changes to GNCAmountEdit, the way the mnemonic keys are associated to the entry widget of the GNCAmountEdit needs to change so have created a function gnc_amount_edit_make_mnemeonic_target which does the same as GNCDateEdit.
Fix rounding in Stock Split Assistant to correct earlier commit that rounded the share price to that of the currency.
[Portfolio Reports] Allow share digits to 9 decimal places to match the maximum commodity fraction.
Changed some option names:
From "Show Accounts until level" to "Levels of Subaccounts"
From "Extra notes" to "Extra Notes"
from "Report title" to "Report Title"
From "Invoice number" to "Invoice Number" to ensure it matches all other invoice reports.

New in GnuCash 4.6 (Jun 28, 2021)

Between 4.5 and 4.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 648335 - Display Created Transactions setting
Add a preference for the 'Review Created Transactions' setting in the 'Since Last Run' dialog so that the default can be specified.
Bug 743753 - Nearest in time security price selection is incorrect in reports
Add new price source - 'nearest before report date' will ignore prices *after* report date.
Bug 743999 - Deleting a digit from an existing number greater than four digits in length generates an error message.
Because the grouping is off. Checking grouping on input is pointless so just ignore the grouping separator when parsing number input.
Bug 753283 - Current Selection Highlight Lost After Transaction Edit in Scheduled Transaction Window
Bug 787813 - Price change from editing a transaction not reflected in pricedb.
Bug 794877 - Intro text of "Online Banking Setup" is outdated
Bug 795804 - Extremely slow save
Only update the status bar when the percentage changes by at least 1% because running the mainloop is expensive on macOS and Microsoft Windows. This speeds up all operations that run the progress bar with overly-fine resolution.
Bug 796761 - Newline (char(10)) is inserted into the end of the string if copy & paste text from excel into the description field of transaction
Bug 797787 - Feature request: preference setting to open new tabs adjacent to currently active tab
tests preference; if enabled then new tab inserted after current. if disabled then new tab is at the end.
Bug 797928 - Since last run asks for security price when no shares traded
Bug 798093 - Changing the symbol/abbreviation of a security after the trading account was created breaks GnuCash.(Reopened)
Bug 798133 - Gnucash crash when any custom action is entered
Bug 798144 - Reconciliation uses different number than entered
If a number was pasted into the balance end value with a currency symbol the number would silently fail on evaluate and cause the wrong value to be used. With previous changes to the GNCAmountEdit widget a warning symbol will indicate a validation error and prevents going forward.
Bug 798148 - "Accounts" page Present (USD) column uses future prices
Bug 798151 - Value entry box not tied to associated transaction in Since Last Run assistant
Bug 798156 - glib 2.68.0 breaks gnucash
Bug 798159 - Keyboard shortcut bug in 'manage document link'
Bug 798162 - Type Ahead Initialization Problem
Bug 798170 - Unbound variable: gnc-budget-lookup when running saved report Budget Report via gnucash-cli
Bug 798177 - Price of new stock transactions not saved in price database
Bug 798186 - Incorrect result editting account in register when overtyping a part selection.
Bug 798188 - The Invoice Editor -> Printable Invoice toolbar button crashes on Windows
Bug 798196 - not building with Boost 1.76
Bug 798199 - Pasting invalid value in date column crashes GnuCash
Bug 798202 - Register input ignores theme on KDE rendering black text on black background
Bug 798203 - g_assert fault while reversing transaction
Bug 798204 - Creation of Imbalance Accounts
Bug 798212 - right-click the down-arrow in the date register changes focus to first split
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Improve transaction sorting on effective num field so that alpha charachters and numbers larger than 1 billion will be ordered. Ordering is now numeric for leading numbers (so that 9 sorts before 10) and lexical beginning with the first non-numeric character. Note that if one of the values begins with an alpha character ordering will be entirely lexical. Lexical sorting is localized; as in the rest of GnuCash only standard ASCII numbers (codepoints U+0030 - U+0039) are treated as numbers.
Add import preferences for the difference in time considered when matching an existing transaction to an imported one. A difference less than the matching-date-threshold raises the score of the match; a difference greater than match-date-not-threshold lowers the score.
Add experimental report "IFRS weighted-average cost basis report". This is a work-in-progress to help calculate the cost basis of securities priced in a foreign currency.
[income-gst-statement] amend headers post Brexit. UK left EU, therefore VAT headers have now changed.
Plug a bunch of memory leaks.
Change how the print_info is obtained for the register: Currently the register sets up some 'print_info' values using the default account but if the register is a stock register they should be obtained from a parent account with a currency.
Change monetary value for gnc_default_share_print_info: Share values are not currencies so set the monetary value to 0 for the GNCPrintAmountInfo
Parse the register monetary cells for a currency symbol: Add the ability to strip the currency symbol from a registry monetary cell if it is pasted with one so it can be validated.
SKR-49 Account Template: Add codes 4500-4504, drop a duplicate, correct code 0674.
[gnc-plugin-page-register] Disable reverse on blank split
Make balancing transactions with trading accounts easier by removing and recalculating all trading splits. This ensures that there will be only one trading split pair per exchange and relieves the user of having to adjust the trading splits to match the accounting splits.
Don't bother scrubbing for orphans if there's no transaction currency. If it found one it would try to create an orphan account with no currency which will crash later.
[chartjs] upgrade chartjs to 2.9.4. Fixes CVE-2020-7746
[report-core] disallow define-report with incomplete export info. If exporting is allowed, 'export-types and 'export-thunk must both be defined.

ignore .vscode folder
Reorder and relabel price source list for better coherence
Python Bindings: Provide a deprecated GncPriceDB.lookup_latest_before_t64 to avoid breaking user scripts.
Update gnucash_core.py with gnc-pricedb function name change
Change some functions to use const gnc_commodity for gnc_pricedb
Reformat schedule transaction source files for white space
Add depreciation warnings for the removal of individual option tool tips
Remove individual tool tips from radio button options
Removes the function gnc_option_permissible_value_description
ESC key was not working on load of Scheduled Transaction Editor
[budget.scm] show correct tooltip for report option
[html-acct-table] Remove unused 'pre-adjusting balances option
Bugfix: export-code for category-barchart reports would fail.
This stems from trying to handle file-name when calling export code. Export code no longer require file-name, The export-code returns a string in the html-document object instead. Remove all file-name handling in reports. No backward compatibility issues because most users would not copy a GnuCash >=4.6 report code onto a

New in GnuCash 4.5 (Mar 29, 2021)

Between 4.4 and 4.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 783283 - Multi-Currency payments use wrong date
Also properly handles the user clicking the cancel button on the transfer dialog. It will now just return to the payment window, waiting for further user input.
Bug 797621 - GnuCash freezes temporarily and sometimes crashes when selecting Sales Tax Table in Invoices
Bug 797630 - Check for missing dependencies of 'Get Quotes' to avoid Gnucash crash.
Bug 797906 - GnuCash data file is locked after a "save-as" to mysql database.
It's more general, any save-as to a different backend type, i.e. xml->sql or sql->xml, left the previous book locked.
Bug 797924 - Crash when searching for customer to process payment.
Bug 797997 - File gnucash could note be found
On Microsoft Windows when run from a CMD shell and passing a path that contains non-ASCII characters.
Bug 798019 - Currency rates in OFX file are ignored
Use currency_rate information from OFX file if available. Requires LibOFX v 0.10.0 or later.
Bug 798044 - Adding splits to a lot is extremely slow
Bug 798060 - Invoices are missing on Customer report after upgrade
Bug 798070 - Opening balance does not update when creating account from Account Hierarchy
Bug 798078 - Report 'Income Chart' prints stacktrace when end date before start date
Bug 798085 - Incorrect transactions import of entires with large number amount
Quicken 2005 introduces U amount which sometimes differs from T amount. U amount has larger range, and must override T amount whenever they're not equal.
Bug 798093 - Changing the symbol/abbreviation of a security after the trading account was created breaks GnuCash.
Makes it possible for the user to rename trading accounts or securities independent of each other.
Bug 798096 - can't duplicate TX previous to red line threshold
Bug 798098 - Crash popup show when have 3 Windows in OSX
Bug 798100 - Equity totals calculating incorrectly
Prevents creation of non-currency opening balance accounts.
Bug 798101 - Do not #undef __STRICT_ANSI__

Bug 798104 - Menu item for "Import Account" is wrong in danish
Bug 798112 - An error occurred while processing mysql ...
A "Feature" of MYSQL is that it allows C-style backslash escapes in string constants and replaces them with the actual character (e.g. n is converted to 0x0a). This causes round trip problems if the escape is one of the allowed ones and a MYSQL error if it isn't. Disable the feature so that MYSQL follows the SQL standard.
Bug 798132 - Invoice Importing crashes when importing low quantity values.
Bug 798135 - GtkEntry text with search list: shows selected entry again for no reason
Bug 798147 - Notes entry crashes program
Bug 798149 - CSV transaction Import setting loses account name if it is changed after setting is memorized
Account guid is saved as well as the full account name and when recalled the account is looked up first by guid, if this fails the full account name is checked which if successful immediately updates the saved base account setting with the account guid for future use. If unsuccessful the account combo is blank with a error message as before. When save CSV settings button is used, both the Guid and full paths are saved so previous versions can still use the full path as before.
Bug 798150 - Error on report over time
Caused by incorrect handling of Daylight Savings beginning at midnight.
Bug 798154 - Tooltips wrong when multiple charts in one report
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

[dialog-invoice] invoice editor reuses invoice report tab.
Allow for Header Bar use in CSV transaction Assistant
There are a couple of action buttons that are added to the CSV transaction assistant with added alignment based on the action area being a GtkBox which causes errors if the header bar is used so test for the action area type and use appropriate specific functions.
Drop default locale currency special case for euro
The condition mentioned in the comment no longer applies. All European locales on Windows (MingW64) properly present EUR as currency these days
Fix fencepost error in calculating the week_num for POSIX timezone rules.
Include the contents of PROJECT_DESCRIPTION in the PACKAGE_PREFIX.
If it's defined. PACKAGE_PREFIX is used to name tarballs and set their base directory. The translation project has requested that we name freeze-string tarballs with a pre1 suffix; this makes that possible.
Update python/gnucash_business.py to reflect rename of gncOwnerApplyPayment.

Avoids code-page problems with non-ASCII characters on Microsoft Windows.
[gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c] use xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed
which is then reversed if required. this removes the need for double reversal.
[Split.c]New function xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed
Same as xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactions but doesn't reverse the list prior to returning. To be used by gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c Several optimizations
doesn't call g_list_find and g_list_append for every iteration
uses g_hash_table to cache list of txns already added instead of g_list_findvec

Updated Translations: Croatian, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Romanian, Ukrainian

New in GnuCash 4.0 (Jun 29, 2020)

New Features:
A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
Business Document Column Widths:
Entry column widths in Invoices, Bills, and Employee Vouchers may now be saved as defaults for each type of document.
Two menu items are added to the View menu when a Bill, Invoice, or Voucher tab has focus: Use as Default Layout for Vendor Documents; Reset Default Layout for Vendor Documents.
Vendor Documents is for Bills and is replaced by Customer or Employee Documents for Invoices or Vouchers respectively. The first saves the current document's column widths and makes them the default for all documents in the same type. The second menu item removes the customization and documents of that type will therafter use the computed default widths.
When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the Update Association for Transaction menu item that has replaced the two association items in 3.x, allows setting, changing, and deleting associations.
Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.
The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time.
A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
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. (Bug 797338)
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.
When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
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 for the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
The Customer, Vendor, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).
New/Revised Reports
Income-GST
Owner Report
Significant Code Changes:
The signature for qof_session_begin(), QofSession::begin(), and QofBackend::begin() are changed to use an enum SessionOpenMode instead of three booleans.
A new mock facility for several engine classes to permit better-isolated unit testing of components that depend on those classes.
Register filter and sort values are saved in the book's state file (book.gcm) in the user's configdir instead of in the book.
QofSession no longer creates its book, instead one must create a book first and pass that to qof_session_new()/QofSession::QofSession().
Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.
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 4.0.
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.
gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.
There's also an auxiliary file, gnucash-windows-locale.c because the localization code proved resistant to compiling as C++. We're planning another auxiliary file for the MacOS localization.
Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0:
gnc:substring-replace-from-to

New in GnuCash 3.10-1 (Apr 13, 2020)

Changes:
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.
Between 3.9 and 3.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
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 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.
Bug 797674 - 3.9: "test-gnc-path-util" failed on Debian amd64
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Update latest translation from the Translation project.
[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.
Add instance argument to Session constructor
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
Merge Jean Laroche's '797006_subaccounts' into maint.
Add check to display warning dialog for mismatched commodities
Replicate changes in *2 files
Apply astyle to modified files
Merge Chris Mayo's iPython-fixes into maint.
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.
Others:
We have a revised Ukrainian translation.

New in GnuCash 3.9-1 (Mar 31, 2020)

Bug 797631 - Superfluous account selection dialog on first online retrieval
The online id, which is needed to find a GnuCash account for a transaction or the balance retrieved from an online account, is already assigned to each matched GnuCash account within the Online Banking Setup tool. The online id is removed from the GnuCash account if it is no longer matched with an AqBanking account.
Bug 797636 - Incorrect Online account matches cannot be deleted
A push button with text "Delete selected matches" is added to the "Match Online accounts with GnuCash accounts" page of the "Online Banking Setup" tool. Additionally, the underlying tree view is set to multiple selection mode from single selection mode. Pushing the button will remove the matched GnuCash account from all selected AqBanking (Online) accounts.

Bug 797656 - Immediate crash when retrieving quotes
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
[report-utilities] fix gnc:account-accumulate-at-dates sorting & operator
This commit performs 2 important fixes:
The account splitlist walking assumes that the split->date always increases. This is now enforced by sorting the splitlist, *only* if a custom split->date is offered. By default the splits are sorted by posted_date, and if a custom split->date is used, will be stable-sorted to ensure the algorithm works.
The handling of splits *ON* date boundaries is fixed. Previously if a split->date was equal to a date boundary, it would be considered part of the "after" date section. It is more intuitive that a date boundary includes all splits on and before the date.
When selecting a file for OFX import, restrict the files listed to .OFX (or .QFX)
Fix crash when changing account-separator.
Change the default focus to search entry for 'Find Account'
Fix rounding precision when importing prices from CSV
[trep-engine] subtotals when cells have monetary only
Instead of accumulating subtotals from any non-#f value, ensure value is a gnc-monetary before accumulating subtotals. This paves the way to allow non-monetary in RHS custom-calculated-cells.
Travis - don't try to copy the removed after-failure file to the test container
Travis - use ctest built-in feature to verbosely log test failures
Fix tokenize_string()to prevent empty strings as Bayes account-matching tokens and remove duplicated tokens.
Fix calculation of Bayes account-matching token info to find exactly matching tokens only.
Clear online banking KVP from accounts no longer associated with an online one
Account template improvements for Swiss-German KMU and Germany SKR04.

[html-table][API] html-table can have multirow-col-headers
NEW API: gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! gnc:html-table col-headers have been augmented to support list of rows.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY is offered. Old use of single-row headers API gnc:html-table-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-col-headers! should be unchanged; will get/set a single row of elements.
NEW functions gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! will get/set an arbitrary number of rows of elements.
using old API gnc:html-table-col-headers on a table, whose multiple row headers have been set, will lead to a warning and return the first row only.
We have revised translations for Croatian, German, Polsih, and Ukrainian

[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.
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
Implement 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.

Bug 797278 - Create an option for type of commodity for Price import: Currently when you use the 'Commodity From' column for Price imports it can match against the wrong commodity like COP (Conoco Philips) would match against the currency COP (Columbian Peso). To fix this add a new column type '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
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Rewrite the Customer Summary Report to correctly handle multiple currencies.
Improve the Owner Report's find-first function to consider currency when selecting the account.
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.
New API:
The following functions can now be used in scheduled transaction credit/debit calculations:
gnc:amort_pmt

New in GnuCash 3.5 (Apr 1, 2019)

Bugfixes:
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 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.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
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.
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.
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.

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
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.
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...
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.
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
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)
The *_protocol variants are marked as deprecated.
Additionally a number of local variables have been renamed from protocol to scheme to support this change.
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

New in GnuCash 3.3 (Oct 2, 2018)

the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 771667 - Different warnings when changing reconciled splits vs. splits linked to reconciled splits.
Bug 784420 - "Save changes on closing" window waits 2^32 seconds when "Time to wait for answer" is set 0.
Bug 786708 - GnuCash won't load currency fractions larger than 1000000. Also create larger fractions for the account dialog.
Bug 787439 - Segmentation Fault in Transfer dialog after clearing Date field and pressing escape.
Bug 789594 - Unable to overwrite sqlite3 database file.
Bug 792446 - Mixed languages in error dialog.
Bug 794526 - Python bindings can't find loadable modules.
Bug 794755 - Commodity Register displays fractional prices.
A new Preference, "Force Prices to display as decimals" on the General pane will cause prices that can't be exactly displayed as decimals to be rounded to two more places than the currency's smallest unit.
Bug 794870 - If no book is opened, gnucash still asks if the user wants to save changes when opening a file.
Bug 795821 - GnuCash could not obtain the lock for file://C:UsersusernameDocumentsGnuCash2.6.21xxxxxxxx.gnucash
Bug 796054 - Unposting and reposting invoice doubles amounts.
Bug 796137 - query.search_for outputs critical qof.object errors and prevents queries being run.
Bug 796248 - Editing Scheduled Transaction.
In addition to not begining to edit already-loaded transactions, don't try to load splits that are already 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 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.
The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:
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 'p' as global accelerator. It was possible to have gnucash invoke the 'Print Report...' action instead of the 'Print Invoice...' action when hitting 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.

New in GnuCash 3.2 (Jul 2, 2018)

BUG FIXES:
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.
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.
FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS:
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

New in GnuCash 3.1 (May 1, 2018)

Bug fixes:
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.
Fixes and improvements:
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.

New in GnuCash 3.0 (Apr 2, 2018)

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.
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 http://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
Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating system's conventions by default:
Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
MacOS: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
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.
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.
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.
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.

New in GnuCash 2.7.8 RC 1 (Apr 2, 2018)

New in GnuCash 2.7.7 Unstable (Mar 19, 2018)

New in GnuCash 2.7.5 Unstable (Feb 26, 2018)

NEW FEATURES FOR USERS:
On Windows and with the MacOS Gnucash.app we distribute the files will already be in the correct locations; users will need to rename any config*.user files to config-user.scm. On other platforms except MacOS, where those files were previously stored in $HOME/.gnucash, GnuCash will move log.conf (if it exists) and the most recent config*.user, renaming the latter, automatically. MacOS installations other than our Gnucash.app bundle will have their data and configuration files in $HOME/.gnucash but users will have to copy the files to $HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash themselves.
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.
Locate all user data and configuration files to platform-dependent standard locations:
Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/GnuCash
MacOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash
Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
GnuCash currently uses the following files in this directory:
log.conf (to set what gets logged to gnucash.trace)
config-user.scm (to add custom scheme code like custom reports; replaces config.user and config-.user)
gtk-3.0.css (For theming)
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.
BUGS FIXED IN THIS RELEASE:
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 793568 - "Cash Flow" report crashes
SOME OTHER FIXES NOT ASSOCIATED WITH REPORTED BUGS:
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.

New in GnuCash 2.7.3 (Jan 3, 2018)

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
Bugs fixed in this release:
Bug 616709 - Pressing delete key while editing account name offers to delete account.
Bug 771667 - Change reconciled splits warning.
Bug 787497 - Disabling options cripples dist package
Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug.
Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7.
Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
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.

New in GnuCash 2.7.2 Pre (Nov 28, 2017)

New in GnuCash 2.7.1 (Oct 30, 2017)

New in GnuCash 2.7.0 Pre (Oct 18, 2017)

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 with the newer API 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, Robert Fewell, and John Ralls)
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)
For Developers:
The code is reorganized into a core library directory, libgnucash, and applications-specific directory, gnucash. Code lifted from other projects is in borrowed. (Geert Janssens)
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. Object properties stored using KVP are generally accessible using g_object_get and g_object_set; there is also a more direct access available via qof_instance_get and qof_instance_set. (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. (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.
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.
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.

New in GnuCash 2.6.18-1 (Sep 25, 2017)

New in GnuCash 2.6.17-1 (Jul 3, 2017)

BUG FIXES:
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 781476 - Online Banking Wizard Crashes for Windows (gnucash-on-windows)
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
Bug 603379 - Prevent changing some Account Options if it has transactions Relax the account type change restrictions. In the new implementation account types can't be changed for an account with splits:
if the change woud force a commodity change e.g. from type STOCK to BANK as the former takes only non-currency commodities and the latter only currency.
for immutable accounts
At the time of this commit the following account types are considered immutable:
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Payable
Trading accounts
SOME OTHER FIXES NOT ASSOCIATED WITH REPORTED BUGS:
Fix crash on Mac when trying to create or edit an AQBanking User. (gnucash-on-osx)
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.

Bug 767824 - Some UTC timezones incorrectly recognized on Windows 7
Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
The gnc_gui_refresh_all statement in gnc_book_options_dialog_apply_cb causes the 'apply' and 'OK' buttons to be set to sensitive on the open Book Options dialog in some circumstances; this commit causes them to be reset to insensitive, as they should be.
Check printing: make logic easier to follow.
Fix adjust_sql_option_string test on Windows.
Don't try to compile test_adjust_sql_options on windows, it won't link.
Fix the CMake build by linking gnc-backend-dbi for test-backend-dbi.
Improved adjust_sql_options_string, added tests.
Improve quickfill performance on huge registers.
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) and 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.

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).

[22080]Fix make dist for Swedish accounts files Reported by Robert Fewell
[22260]Rewrite the tip-of-the-day parsing logic Since commit 22246, an empty tip of the day appears in the list of tips. This is due to the way the file is parsed. This commit rewrites the parsing logic to avoid such problems. As an added bonus, you can now add newlines in tips by using '\n' in the string.
[22248]Bug #678848 - Customer/Vendor reports off-by-one on start date Additionally removes a superfluous module load
[22246][PATCH] Fix tip-of-the-day with gcc-4.7 When making the text file tips-of-the-day, GnuCash expects 'gcc -E' to preserve at least one of the whitespace lines between entries. However, this relies on behavior of 'gcc -E' that isn't actually part of the spec, and is a historical accident. And it changed in gcc-4.7, such that all the whitespace is removed. Work around this by explicitly adding a newline in the sed expression. Pre gcc-4.7 there will be two newlines between tips, but this has no impact on the tip displaying code. Patch by Bill Nottingham
Bug #631611 - Check printing fails because fonts are too tiny on Windows Lesson learned: don't use cairo_identity_matrix on a cairo_t managed by GtkPrintContext. It kills a number of transformations that were already configured by GtkPrintContext. On Windows this breaks proper scaling.
Fix a double free crash when the required features dialog is shown
Bug #611853 - Entering a 2-digit year in the opening balance tab results in "Parsing Error" This bug was already fixed on trunk as part of the patch that converted the new account dialog from glade to gtkbuilder. This commit extracts only the parts required to fix bug #611853

[22229] Bug #678214 - GnuCash fails to open some post-processed XML files Patch by Daniel Harding
Bug #677570 - Error creating net worth linechart report Remove doubled file contents. Changeset 21628 has already done this for trunk.
Add formatting to table. Add cell padding to columns in table.
Bug #677570 Error creating net worth linechart report Revert "Added user settable line width and data point markers to net worth" Removed entire commit in order to make report work. Details of error still need to found so that the feature can be reinstated. This reverts r21644. Note, this feature works in trunk.
[22197]Add EXTRA_CFLAGS for compiling on Win7 Configure gets confused by some gcc builtins on Win7: Disable them so that configure finds the right settings.
Add EXTRA_CFLAGS to inst_gnucash compile line so that cflags can be added by custom.sh
[r22171][Bug 674862] Gnucash crashes after creating a new SX using the Mortgage Wizard and SQL Backend This addresses the crash reported on Ubuntu with Postgres by Krzysiek. The stack trace he posted showed the crash was the result of dereferencing a NULL GDate*, and this change protects against that. It still doesn't address the more basic problem of why on Win32 and with mysql and pgsql (but not SQLite3) the mortgage wizard is writing corrupt dates.
[r22188][Bug #674862] Gnucash crashes after creating a new SX using the Mortgage Wizard and SQL Backend Special-cases dbi_result_get_datetime returning -1 to work around a bug in MinGW's implementation of gmtime().

[22090] Revert r22083, "Adapt German account templates to updated tax rate." A pure renaming is not the correct solution, I've been told.
[22083] Adapt German account templates to updated tax rate.
[22067] Remove potentially abandoned file (that has a GPLv2-only license, too). The last contributors here, Josh Sled and Chris Lyttle, have put their code under "GPLv2 and GPLv3" license, see r22063, but I'm too lazy to look up the copyright holders on the file as a whole so I'd rather remove it. If someone wants to add a similar packaging file again, feel free to do so, but please don't use GPLv2-only code to do so.
[22066] Bug #670727: Extend license of 3 files to be GPLv2 and GPLv3. This has been granted by the gnumeric copyright holders. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670727#c7
[22063] Bug #670727: Clarify license of a file to be GPLv2 and GPLv3 gnc-dense-cal.h: License remark was forgotten in r19507, but the author Josh Sled agreed on GPLv2 and GPLv3 licensing in his gnucash-devel message on 2010-08-28.
Fix skipping of alternate rows when there is a customer id mis-match and fix gtk_entry_set_text errors. Fix already exists in trunk.
Revert "Fix skipping of alternate rows when there is a customer id mis-match." Doesn't fully work. Will redo. This reverts commit 63c4689a36aa042564d7c29b40ee970533e3d81f.

[22018] Bug 632931: Advanced Portfolio: total gains does not include income - new column layout as suggested on bugzilla. Total return is now an amount (not a percentage), and includes income as well as capital gains. New column "Rate of return" gives the percentage. - changed default value for "Ignore brokerage fees when calculating returns", the default is now to NOT ignore the fees. Patch by Sebastien Alborini
[22012] Bug #669494 - Swedish account plan provided (BAS 2012) Additionally this commit adds some required changes to get the Swedish account plans to actually show up in GnuCash (both BAS and the earlier committed Swedish small business account plan)
[22011] Fix a GtkWarning in the Account Hierarchy Druid which occurs if the Example Account file doesn't contain a long description.
Fix translatable strings code for tax invoice report.
Fix translatable strings code for some reports. Patch provided by Aurimas Fišeras.
