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.

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

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 5.2 (Jun 25, 2023)

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.
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 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 <escape> 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"

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 798775 - Why is General Journal called "Register" in the tabs?

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'

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

When configuring Guile use pkg-config before searching for binaries.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Add details for some CSV import options.

New in GnuCash 5.0 (Mar 26, 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):
_ (the alias for gettext. Use G_ instead
gnc:make-account-list-limited-option
gnc:make-account-list-option
gnc:make-account-sel-limited-option
gnc:make-account-sel-option

gnc:make-text-option
gnc:option-set-default-value
gnc:option-set-value
gnc:option-setter
gnc:option-value
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 in GnuCash 4.902 Unstable (Mar 6, 2023)

The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
Bug 798748 - Transaction Notes field's value does not appear in reverse transaction.

Bug 798759 - Register widths for 'with sub-account' not saved
Bug 798600 - CSV import of multi-split security transactions fails to load capital gain
The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:
Bug 782141 - Import CSV - Multi-currency support can cause rounding errors
Replace the column types 'Deposit' and 'Withdrawal' with 'Amount' and 'Amount (Negated)' that are conceptually applicable more widely. Also introduce column types 'Value' and 'Value (Negated)' to allow construction of splits in commodities different from the transaction currency. While Value is the number in the transaction currency, always use 'Amount' in single-currency transactions.
Bug 793306 - Price is not imported from CSV

New in GnuCash 4.901 Unstable (Feb 5, 2023)

New in GnuCash 4.900 Unstable (Jan 10, 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 you have the Accounts page ora Stock or Fund account register open.
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.
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.
Between 4.13 and 4.900, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
Bug 798588 - sx scrubbing was using incorrect free function
Bug 798625 - "Last up through report date" changed in 4.12
Bug 798679 - Unicode normalization should be used for comparison but not stored.
Bug 798702 - Crash in gnc_plugin_page_focus_idle_destroy() closing a report before it completes.
Bug 798705 - New: UI string mismatch: OK vs. Next
Bug 798717 - Reports > Business > Fancy Invoice duplicates company details
The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:
Bug 403979 - Balance column shows only low order digits when too narrow
If the column is too narrow to display the whole number it will display the leading digits with an ellipsis (…).
Bug 769256 - Change New Account Dialog
Rearrange the New and Edit Account dialog to move the parent selector under the description field followed by the account type as a combo (i.e. drop down) list.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Unicode normalization for string matches is changed from NFKC to NFC. This means that font and positional variants will no longer match and is unlikely to affect most users. See Unicode Normalization Forms:Canonical and Compatibility Equivalence for the technical details.
The Gtk menu structure has been rewritten to use the newer GMenu/GMenuModel system. This change is mostly invisible to users, except that to keep menu accelerators (like <cmd>Q to quit) working on macOS we had to let macOS handle the events. That will affect using cut, copy, and paste in dialog boxes because the menu will intercept them. That's temporary, we hope to have it fixed for GnuCash 4.901.
The Finance::Quote interface is rewritten in C++. This new design will allow much better capture of diagnostics from Finance::Quote making troubleshooting problems much easier.
The perl Finance::Quote utilities gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper are removed and new commands added to gnucash-cli: --quotes info replaces gnc-fq-check and --quotes dump replaces gnc-fq-dump.

New in GnuCash 4.12 (Sep 26, 2022)

Between 4.11 and 4.12, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 794584 - Register not updated when scheduled transactions created
Bug 798262 - Scheduled transactions with blank amounts do not get created.
Bug 798385 - Description to often only "Landesbank Hessen-Thuringen Girozentrale"
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
Continued work on the Stock Transaction Assistant. If you want to try out this new way of recording your investment transactions start GnuCash with the --extra option. The stock assistant is available on the toolbar and from the Actions menu when a register for a STOCK or FUND account is focused.
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.
[gnc-ab-utils] concise string accumulator
[gnc-glib-utils] gnc_g_list_stringjoin skips NULL data
[ifrs-cost-basis] identify sale/purchase according to truth table instead of via flawed heuristics
[ifrs-cost-basis] add options used as a report footer
[lot-viewer] Show Open & Close dates only when they have a value.
Fix use-after-free crash in gnc_set_busy_cursor.
Create Swiss SMB account chart acctchrt_pme-19.gnucash-xea.
[date-utilities] avoid report crash if start > end date
[html-chart] add percent formatter for numbers for older javascript.
[trial-balance] set default price-source to average-cost to minimise complaints (see Bug 798550)
Use macos-latest github runner for mac tests.
[dialog-price] Price Database: Insert help buttons
Disable transaction type (i.e. Bill or Invoice) in Invoice/Bill Registers, determining the type by inspecting the money flow.
Fix python tests dependencies so that ninja check works from a clean build directory with Python enabled.
Review of account templates C—missing placeholders, redundancies
Fixed a variety of memory leak, poor list handling, and dangling reference errors.

[balsheet-pnl] test "lvl <= depth-limit" outside add-indented-row as a first step trying to fix bug 798502.
[gnc-main-window] page->window is not main_window, skip warning.
[gnc-plugin-page-register] if account==NULL, skip AccountIsPriced because gnc_plugin_page_register_ui_initial_state may be called for non-account registers (eg the sx editor) and account may be null.
[gnc-account-sel.c] prepend & reverse while building acct list
and don't use confusing double pointer
Fix use-after-free in unable to save database dialog.
[account.cpp] restore breadth-first search for 2 functions

[CI]Work around new git security measure.
[balsheet-pnl] faster definition of balance lists
[gnc-numeric.cpp] Reduce logging level of gnc_numeric exception message because exceptions are expected in some use cases.
Redo icon handling in cmake
Using globs for file copying prevents cmake from discovering newly added icons. Writing rules that explicitly use lists of icons will fix this as a new icon in the sources will have to be added to the list and will force reparsing by cmake. We have to maintain the lists anyway for our dist target so there's actually no extra work involved for the devs.

New in GnuCash 4.10 (Mar 28, 2022)

Between 4.9 and 4.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 684507 - commodity namespace should be localized
Bug 741674 - Newly created Scheduled Transactions appear in existing search windows
Bug 797501 - Currency symbols in Hebrew (RTL) language
Bug 797772 - Allow reconciliation report to double filter by both posting and reconciliation date

Bug 797610 - Scrolling is too fast to follow
Bug 798392 - Reports do not display when Reports JavaScript dependencies are located at a filepath that includes special characters like hash ("#")
Bug 798395 - ofxdirectconnect downloads crash gnucash 4.9
Bug 798408 - The calculation in budgets UI and reports are wrong.
Bug 798411 - Untranslated/Unused string [pt only]
Bug 798415 - Due Bills Reminder Dialog - Right align 'amount'This was a right-to-left language (e.g. Hebrew) problem.
Bug 798435 - Crash on print after printing checks
Bug 798438 - on reconcile window, click on the last column 'R' does not order the entries according with the status
Bug 798448 - Column 'num' cannot be null
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
Fisuppression 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 tatable changed info message.
[register] Checkboany value other than 0x20 (ASCII space) is true, because it can be 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 TaReport
Update the register help label when cell read only
Change AR/AP Type cell to be read only. The Type cell in AR/AP registers should not be changeable from the register so make the cell read only.
Tip-of-the-Day, new tip: the full file path is shown in the status bar.
[assistant-qif-import] Prevent ambiguous mnemonic
Mnemonic N clashes with GtkAssistant "Next". Change to D which does not clash.
Numerous performance and code-clarity improvements.

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)

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.

New in GnuCash 4.6 (Jun 27, 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.
[test-engine-extras] augment book data generators
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 <4.5 installation.
[gnucash-cli] improve discoverability of export-type. Formerly, selecting --export-type EXT would dump the cryptic "Report REPORTNAME has no export code". Modify to hint the user on acceptable reports with export-code.
New API:
[report-utilities] Functions to dump splits in whole book:
gnc:dump-book - splits grouped by account
gnc:dump-all-transactions - splits grouped by transaction
gnc:dump-split - dumps single split
Rename a couple of gnc-pricedb functions that have not been used:
gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_t64
gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_any_currency_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_any_currency_t64
Add retrieval functions for price before the date given:
gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_nearest_before_price_t64 that retrieves the balance using the last price dated before a specified date like today for the preset value.
gnc_pricedb_get_nearest_before_price does the retrieval.
Deprecations:
gnc:get-start-next-year
gnc:get-end-next-year
gnc:get-start-next-month
gnc:get-end-next-month
gnc:get-start-next-quarter

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.

Remove defines and undefines for Windows, they were needed with MinGW classic but are not with MinGW-w64.
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:

Gnc_invoice_window_print_invoice return NULL if invoice is NULL.
[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.

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_find<.
Does not reverse the result, thereby returning a reversed list.

Ensure that any GncMainWindows containing no tabs are destroyed at shutdown.
I18N: drop translatable flag from "xxx" dummies and remove trailing spaces from translatable strings

New in GnuCash 4.0 (Jul 6, 2020)

Major Highlights:
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.
A symbol (paperclip for files, chain links for URLS) is now displayed in the Associations column (visible in double-line mode) in the register in place of the letters when a transaction has an association. This doesn't work on MacOS.
Associations may now be added to bills, credit notes, invoices, and vouchers. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
New type-ahead search is added to sequential search when selecting an account or an Action 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.
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
gnucash-cli --help will display a screen listing all of the available commands and their options.
The GUI program, gnucash, still responds to the options it always has, though --get-price-quotes is deprecated in favor of gnucash-cli --quotes get.
Graphic User Interface:
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.
On the Choose Accounts to Create page there are two drop-downs above the Account Types selector, one for language and one for country, the choices in the latter depending on the former. The default is the current locale but they may be used to select account templates from any locale.
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.
Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date.
Business Functions:
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.
Importing Transactions:
Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols for the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
The Import Map Editor (Tools>Edit Import Maps) will scan for Bayesian associations with non-existent accounts and display a dialog offering to remove any that are found. It also adds a button at the bottom of the Import Map Editor to delete them if one chooses not to use the dialog.
The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time.
OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
The import transaction matcher window column headings 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.
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.
Reports:
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 have been added to the Income-GST report. The report's 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.
Budgets:
Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
Enable adding notes to budgets.
Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View..
Compatibility:
GnuCash 4.x and later will no longer migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
Customization and Scripting:
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.
Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.

New in GnuCash 3.903 Unstable (Jun 1, 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 --run-report=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
gnucash --run-report=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
gnucash --run-report=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they're the same as the source. If they're not 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.
The new reports introduced in the Experimental Reports menu are moved to the main menu and the old reports hidden; the old reports can be unhidden by running GnuCash from the commandline with the --extra argument. That will cause the old reports to appear in their regular locations on the menu labeled (legacy). Note that new reports use different options and layouts and you may need to adjust your saved report configurations.
A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the new Update Transaction Association item in the register context menu, provides the ability to have multiple associations for a single transaction. Associations may now be easily removed.
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.
When importing, the matcher will no longer offer to match a transaction to one that has already matched in a previous import, nor will it offer to match more than one imported transaction to a single existing transaction.
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.
Add option to save Layout for Business items
Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing layout for Invoices, Bills and Vouchers to there respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the default layout. Open Business items will also save there column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.
New/Revised Reports:
Income-GST
Owner Report
Significant Code Changes:
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.
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().
Add option to save Layout for Register items
Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing register layout based on the register type to there respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used when opening registers. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the associated default layout. Open registers will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.
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.
Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0:
gnc:substring-replace-from-to
Bug fixes:
Between 3.902 and 3.903, the following bugfixes were accomplished. Some of these will also be fixed in GnuCash 3.11, some are for 4.0 only.
Bug 796531 - transaction report: export file/location associated with transaction
Displays the Transaction Association link in the Transaction Report and when selected will open the association outside of Gnucash as it currently does when opened from the register.
Bug 796932 - Invoices order when assigning payments

Bug 797185 - Allow sorting on all Transaction Association columns
Bug 797220 - delete account allows move of all transactions to account having non-matching currency
Bug 797236 - Regression: Reconcile window transaction list resets to top when new transaction created in account.
Bug 797264 - 3.5 can't use Chinese IME input
Bug 797329 - Using Japanese IME to enter transactions results in unexpected field jumps
Bug 797388 - GnuCash 3.6 segfaults regularly.
Bug 797648 - Cannot reconcile both splits of a transaction with 2 splits for bank account subaccounts if only 1 is cleared
Bug 797659 - Liabilities in budget report no longer calculate correctly
Bug 797689 - Child dialog windows are demoted behind parent window when task switching.
Bug 797707 - CSV Transaction Export: custom dates should be insensitive by default
Bug 797717 - Summary bar changes height when opening a menu or scrolling over an option
Bug 797737 - Import matching can match an imported transaction to an existing, previously matched transaction
Bug 797743 - Monetary amounts are occasionally rendered in fractions
Bug 797745 - Unable to change default report currency
Bug 797748 - missing header "algorithm"
Bug 797750 - SIGSEV in swig-engine.c
Bug 797754 - In an account register, scrolling stops working when the mouse pointer re-enters the scrollbar after leaving it
Bug 797760 - Broken register split activity--cannot delete splits, unable to tab complete account name.
Bug 797761 - Customer report beta: opening balance tax column shows garbage string
Bug 797768 - View Lots sorting numbers not right.
Bug 797770 - Reconciliation report does not consider credit transactions
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports or new features:
When no file is open don't ask to save it when opening another file or quitting GnuCash.
Add an Invoice section to dialog-utils for when the path head changes.
Change the position the register pop up so it aligns better.
Fix the alignment of the Notes label in Transfer dialog.
Set the initial Split horizontal paned position to be half way when the window is realized.
Set the expanding column in the lot viewer to be the 'Title' and the 'Description'. Also ellipsize the description to help with long transaction descriptions.
Change the alignment of the numeric columns to be right aligned so the numbers line up.
[new-aging] speed up split->owner.
split->owner will now cache results, bypassing gncOwnerGetOwnerFromLot and gncInvoiceGetInvoiceFromLot for repeated calls to the same split.
Previously each call to split->owner would allocate a new gncOwner. Now a new gncOwner is only allocated during a cache miss. the list of gncOwners is maintained and is purged when split->owner is called with #f. There is no need to maintain a tofree list of gncOwners anymore.
Instead of slow gncOwnerReturnGUID to test equality, use gncOwnerEqual
Fix crash in case filter is less than 4 parameters.
Change the Options GtkCheckBox to use its own built-in label and remove the label in the first column.
Enable the Options Checkbox label to be used to toggle values.
Add enum SplitRegisterTypeGroup to group registers.
Change state_section parameter for gnc_table_save_state.
Fix clang error about type mismatch GtkWidget* != void* aka gpointer.

[eguile-gnc] don't catch errors in eguile-gnc.
Initially select the last account chosen in the account picker dialogs.
Separately keeps track of last investment account, security account, and income account. One issue is that gnc_import_select_account doesn't tell the caller if it put up a dialog or found the online ID on an existing account. This means the last account may be one the user didn't manually select. This may or may not be the right thing to do.
Transaction matcher dialogue was not closing when changing book.
Correct parent widget for import new account dialog.
No Selection on load for Bill Terms
Change the selection process so it selects the first entry if present on load and also selects a newly created entry when completed.
Change the Tax Table dialogue to be based on a GtkWindow
When using Gnucash on Microsoft Windows and a dialog opens a further dialog when you switch away from the application and back the last dialog that has the focus is behind the parent and it appears like the application has froze. To fix this try to use only one level of dialogue so change the Tax Table to use a GtkWindow with no transient parent.
Align the import matcher help button
Move the import matcher help button to the left in the CSV transaction importer.
Merge branch 'maint'
Fix LIBDBI_DRIVERS_DIR generation.
Use more precise strings in gnc-split-reg.c
You can edit the account very well, but not its transactions.

[test-stress-options] fix combinatorics testing
Premise: pairwise combinatorics testing is only possible when all options have at least 2 options. The "General Journal" report is unique because it starts with the Transaction Report options generator, and adds a few hidden options. Unfortunately the Transaction Report receives the "General/Stylesheet" option, with only 1 default stylesheet. The General Journal report therefore has 1 stylesheet option with only 1 choice, and is not acceptable to jenny for pairwise testing. It would fail the combinatorics testing. Adding other stylesheets did not successfully allow pairwise testing. Therefore the simplest way to test General Journal is to disable multichoice testing whereby num(choices) is only 1.
[Account.cpp] more xaccAccountTypeGetFundamental types
Fix the crash that occurs when opening a new book when the transaction-matching dialog has been opened then closed.
Display report zoom factor with one decimal space.
Fix transaction post_date being set to midnight local.
Respect the environment LD_LIBRARY_PATH for loading Scheme modules and tests.
Add a tip about announcements and other mailing lists
Change occurrences of gdk_display_get_default to gdk_window_get_display()
Remove some Gtk version checks in code

[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.

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.

Force all splits in a transaction for the account being reconciled (and its children), to have the same reconciliation status. This fixes a problem when the splits have different statuses.
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.

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
The Customer/Employee/Vendor reports have been rewritten. The new versions may be found in Reports>Experimental.
[stylesheet-css] a user-customisable CSS based stylesheet New stylesheet.
Exposes a single text box for full CSS customisability.
Allow account selection by typing into the post-to field of the payment window
When sizing some register columns take account of 'Tot' being added.
Take account for the pop up button border in the register.
Change the date sample so it has the maximum text width possible
[new-owner-report] bugfix: balance row needs variable linked cols
Improve translations by scriptedly removing the removed colon suffix.
[report-utilities] bugfix: aging-list was incorrect. off-by-1 error.
[report-utilities] bugfix: overpayment works for AP accounts.
Swap the buttons around on the Budget Open dialogue
Swap the OK and Cancel buttons so they conform to the normal layout.
[report-utilities] bugfix: fix overpayment detection
For 1 payment to >1 invoices, previously would miscalculate overpayment.
[budgets.scm] Budget reports handle both natural & reversed budgets.
This change is protected by a Feature: Using it will prevent the file from being opened by earlier versions of GnuCash.
[gnc-budget-view.c] totals - 5 fundamental types
previous showed income/expense/transfers/totals budget totals, of uncertain meaning. now shows income/expense/asset/liability/equity budget totals. The 5 lines also become sensitive to the global sign-reverse property.
bindings-python - drop references to gnucash-env
We no longer ship a gnucash-env script, directly use python(3) instead
[balsheet-pnl] fix: single-date balsheet missed printing date
[balsheet-pnl] fix: hide Equity sections when not needed
If currencies are not converted, Unrealized Gains are meaningless. Hide them.
If there are no income/expense accounts, retained earnings will be nil. Remove row.
Ignore trailing noise on imported transaction account numbers.
AQBanking6 uses a separate method for retrieving account numbers for account info and transactions, where the transactions method can have additional characters, most often the ISO4217 currency code. That results in match failures when importing. As a work-around, compare only the length of the account-info-generated online id when comparing it to the transaction-generated one. Note that this is only a partial solution: At least one German bank also appends characters to the transaction-generated bank id and that will still cause the match to fail.
[dialog-payment] Add warning label if payment is unattached
Completing a payment for a customer without associating with an open invoice is allowable and is used for prepayments. Enable a warning to inform that the payment does not have an invoice/bill document attached.
[aging] update error reporting
This error handling was for transactions in APAR accounts whereby Transaction Currency != Owner Currency. An example is a manually entered transaction, then assigned as payment to a customer with a different currency.
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 in GnuCash 3.7 (Dec 23, 2019)

Changes:
Between 3.6 and 3.7, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 605602 - precision of Financial Calculator seems to depend on locale
Bug 746937 - Template transaction splits are loaded in reverse order and then not sorted before saving.
Actually not sorted after loading because the template accounts weren't being committed.
Bug 752395 - Start Day of weekly report doesn't respond to change in locale
Redefines some functions to ensure weekly grouping in transaction report obeys locale's start-of-week.
Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend, I can open in read only mode
Upgrade the splits table as well, an oversight from the original fix.
Bug 793018 - Balance (with >>eguile<<) - Report Title can't be changed
Bug 795251 - googletest detection cannot be overridden
Bug 796819 - bad icon with Spanish localization
Temporary fix for Farsi, which was afffected, too. As it is maintained by TP, the final fix has to come from them.
Bug 796952 - Report formatting (justify) is broken
Preveious patch reverted and replaced with a more correct one.
Bug 797085 - Import Bills & Invoices – headers not translated.

Bug 797353 - Add copyright and release info in appdata file
Bug 797355 - General Journal report seems to be off balance
Previously, for general-journal, each split was being analyzed, and only the source split was counted for totals. This change will means the source split *and* its peers were accounted for.
Bug 797377 - cmake fails on debian-8 and ubuntu-14.04 with gnucash.appdata.xml.in does not exist
Bug 797378 - QIF file import fails: Loading gives wrong type argument in position 2
Bug 797389 - Random Crashes while attaching a document.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
New feature: Multiselection in the import transaction matcher. Use control-left-click, shift-left-click, or click-and-drag to select multiple unmatched transactions to match them with a single account, then right-click to bring up a single-item context menu sith "Assign Transfer Account".
Set a FinTS product version key when the installed AQBanking supports it.

New in GnuCash 3.5.1 (Apr 10, 2019)

New in GnuCash 3.5 (Mar 31, 2019)

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

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

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

New in GnuCash 3.3 (Oct 1, 2018)

Between 3.2 and 3.3, 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.
Prices will now be displayed in decimal, 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 improvements 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 '<primar>p' as global accelerator. It was possible to have gnucash invoke the 'Print Report...' action instead of the 'Print Invoice...' action when hitting <primary>p on an invoice page. If no report page was open at this point, gnucash would crash. If a report was open, gnucash would invoke the print action on that report instead of opening an invoice report for the invoice.
[job-report] Prevent Crash if there is no AR account
Add the ability to cascade account colours in account tree.
The colour on an account that has sub-accounts can be applied to its sub-accounts; by default only those sub-accounts that don't have a colour set are affected, but there's a preference to override that.
Speed up loading the preference dialog by blocking register updates until the dialog is fully loaded.
Update change_tax_code.py, add basic test for python query.
Simplify GNCQueryView's data model: It was managing a number of redudant parameters which were leaking memory all over the place. The information that was tracked could easily be extracted from the underlying GtkTreeView, GtkTreeModel or GtkTreeSelection when needed.
Open customer/vendor/employee report when double-clicking an the respective owner the cust/vend/empl overview page.
Update Overview of README based on https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-September/042748.html
Many new tests for reports.
Some substantial speedups when loading large amounts of business transactions from a SQL backend.
Clean up a lot of memory leaks.
Remove all use of Timespec in the program. Provide deprecated wrapper functions supporting timespecs for custom reports; users should update the reports as soonas possible.
The following translations are updated: Farsi, Ukrainian

New in GnuCash 3.2 (Jun 25, 2018)

Between 3.0 and 3.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 787401 - Test Report System - Report Definition.
Bug 794617 - Can't compile with -DWITH_GNUCASH=NO due to scm-gnome-utils.
Bug 795101 - Scroll Bar in Reconcile Window Floats in and covers the check boxes.
Bug 795247 - datepicker broken in Persian. GnuCash passes dates as integer y/m/d without using locale-specific formats, so we need to strip out 'E' and 'O' from the format when scanning dates or determining separators in gnc-date. None of '-', 'E', or 'O' are supported by boost (and '-' causes errors), so strip them out from formatters in gnc-datetime as well.
Bug 795253 - Have problems input Chinese.
Bug 795272 - QIF importer causes application crash if action is invalid.
Bug 795276 - Invalid date on price stops file from being parsed.
Bug 795362 - Special variable "i" not parsed in function calls. Due to balance tests with insane random values.
Bug 795471 - Impossible to Edit Budget Unless Maximized.
Bug 795519 - Credit card payment after reconciliation.
Bug 795666 - Backslash '' in Description field spoils CSV Import without helpful error message.
Bug 795831 - When read only threshold set, dates are silently changed. Display a message box informing the user of the change.
Bug 795944 - Cannot store change to Business Suppliers data.
Bug 796079 - Repeatable Crash in Tax Report Options.
Bug 796081 - Tax Schedule Report - An error occurred while running the report.
Bug 796083 - Reconcile Selection Doesn't Work Anymore.
Bug 796117 - Connecting 3.1 to an existing mysql db drops all data. Provide a backup recovery function that instead of dropping primaries and restoring backups merges the primaries and backups. This should handle a worst-case safe-save failure where the backup tables don't have a complete set of rows for some reason.
Bug 796256 - Main Window stays hidden when starting after closing main window while minimized.
Bug 796369 - Notes lost or perhaps just not displaying when using SQLite backend. This bug caused data loss if you saved your SQLite3 database to a different file or database. The problem is that in SQLite3 (though not in MySQL or PgSQL) the subquery ((SELECT DISTINCT guid FROM transactions)) (note the double parentheses) returns only the first guid in the subquery's results. Some transactions are loaded by special queries and those queries are also used to retrieve the transaction's slots so they weren't affected.
Bug 796398 - Restrict accelerator keys to valid date range.
Bug 796409 - Incorrect Current Value for Stocks. Missed calculating the value in the register summary bar.
Bug 796423 - Cannot Input Chinese, seems does not work with other IME too. Toggles not in view with all rows selected weren't being redrawn.
Bug 796484 - csv import: iostream error. Unfortunately it turns out that we can't use filestreams because they can't take path arguments containing Unicode on Windows.
Bug 796527 - invalid currency on scheduled transactions.
Don't even check for price/exchange rate on template transactions, there's no point.
Check all split commodities are valid, abort transaction creation if not.
If the template transaction's currency isn't used by any of the splits set the new transaction's currency to the first-found currency if there is one, otherwise to the first-found commodity.
Bug 796537 - Transaction Report cannot sort by "num".
Bug 796586 - QIF import incorrectly converts unicode characters from UTF8 encoded file.
Bug 796595 - QIF Import Select Account button to add a new account is labled gnc-account-new but should be New.
Bug 796600 - stock split cash-in-lieu income/asset labels backwards.
Bug 796614 - Reconciliation report contains incorrect transactions.
Bug 796638 - configuration not properly saved for CSV transactions import form.
The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:
Transaction report improvements:
Performance: Do all filtering ops before sorting.
Move the options summary before the subtotals table.
New unit tests
Enable computing averages in subtotal grid.
Generate the subtotal grid only if the primary sort key enables subtotals.
Fix subtotal grid to support multiple commodities.
New filters.
Much cleaning and refactoring of the internals.
Cache the num-split-action book option to avoid thousands of KVP queries for the same value when loading a register.
Create a static string for book option KVPs to save an extra malloc/free on old compilers without small-string optimization.
Add tooltip support for register cells.
New unit tests for the balance sheet report and invoices.
Consolidate charting code into a single module.
Removed an incomplete and abandoned C implementation of QIF import.
Restored libsecret support that had been left out of CMake.
Replace old-style html style attributes with css.
Modify emitted html to be parseable by the Guile SXML module for testing.
Remove support for long-gone gtkhtml renderer.
Clean up code generating html tables.
Ensure full precision of doubles is saved to SQL. std::iostream's operator<<(double) uses only 6 digits of precision by default.
Make float database operations more consistent, working around dbd-sqlite3's failure to support doubles (dbd-sqlite3, not sqlite3 itself).
Prevent crash in gnc-tree-view.c: When getting information from the state file, protect against the key not having a '_' which is used to split the string.
Add the full account name to the saved register settings If you need to delete the layout for a register in the settings file, the only thing identifying it is the account guid. To make it easier for humans, add the full account name also.
When register pages are restored it uses the full account name. When register pages are restored, the account is found from the full name so if the separator changes it will fail. Instead, also save the account guid and use that as default to find the account falling back to the full name.
Fix misplaced try block that caused unhandled exception if year out of range.
Fix permanent storage of vendor details: Since the data types did not match for the billterms and taxtable, those references/guids were not saved to the database.
Update invoice reports to use totals calculate by gncInvoice. This should give a consistent representation of invoice data across the application.
Ensure gncEntry rounding is consistent. Internally calculated values in the entry are never rounded. Consumers of gncEntry's calculated values can request them either rounded or not. Next use a pragmatical approach for calculating values on invoices based on the entry values: do the rounding such that we never create an unbalanced transaction while posting. That means:
round each entry's net value before summing them in net total
accumulate all tax totals on invoice level per tax account before rounding
and round before before summing them in a global tax total Hopefully this will catch a few more rounding issues in this area. A complete solution can only offered if we allow users to manually correct tax entries. This requires changes to user interface and data format so that's not going to happen in gnucash 3.x.
Use Scheme SRFI-64 test framework for new Scheme unit tests.
New compilers (gcc-8.0 and Xcode 9) bring new warnings, so several fixups to mollify them.
Lowercase all cmake commands for better readability.
Metadate migration (2.6.x->3.x) fixes for Windows.
Ensure timezone is set correctly in FreeBSD.
The following translations are updated: Dutch

New in GnuCash 2.6.21 (Apr 11, 2018)

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.
Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating system's conventions by default: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash. It's still possible to overried with the environment variable GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash.
Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead of names so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you rename an account. The Bayesian import maps are also stored in a flatter structure to allow faster access, especially in SQL. These changes mean that if you have Bayesian mapping data, once converted your database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.20 and later.
MySQL and SQLite3 date storage has changed a bit. Once converted, MySQL and SQLite3 database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.19 and later.
Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old 6-digit-maximum fraction is now 9-digits, and prices may have up to 18 digit precision.
Chart Reports appearance is improved, including more modern chart colours as suggested by 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
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.
Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide it from the user.
gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with different parameters.
For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts" name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters e.g. limited account types.
Drop intltool in favour or using modern gettext. By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml. For platforms where this isn't available, setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON will allow building but some strings will not be extracted to gnucash.pot
Pass GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT through to distcheck. So that they don't have to be exported in the environment if they're needed.
The Python Bindings and Console are now for Python 3, and enahanced to expose more GnuCash API. Compilation of GLib Schemas during build and installation can be disabled by setting -DCOMPILE_GSCHEMAS=OFF. This is intended *only* for distribution packaging scripts that run glib-compile-schemas themselves. Otherwise note that if you install to a DESTDIR you'll need to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving the contents of $DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
The CuteCash front end has been removed. The code we need from GOffice has been brought into the GnuCash code base so GOffice is no longer a dependency. The register drawing code has been upgraded to draw directly on a cairo surface, removing the dependency on libgnomecanvas.
GnuCash 3.0 adds the following dependencies: Boost, ICU, Googletest.

New in GnuCash 2.7.8 Unstable (Mar 26, 2018)

New in GnuCash 2.7.6 Unstable (Mar 13, 2018)

New Features for Users:
Modernise chart colours from the dated CSS defaults to modern colours as suggested by http://clrs.cc/.
Add "Subtotal Summary Grid" to the Transaction Report. The subtotal summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey vertically, sec-sortkey horizontally. This will be useful, for example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date, sec-subtotal = monthly... will produce a monthly time series spreadsheet.
For Developers and Distro packagers:
Rework source directory structure for gschema, gtkbuilder and ui files. There is now a directory for each respective file type directly in <srcdir>/gnucash as was already the case for gschema files. In principle all files of each type should go into these global directories. The only exception is if such a file belongs to an optional module. In that case the file remains located inside that module's directory. Currently we have ui, glade and gschema file exceptions in aqb and ofx importers.
Drop intltool in favour or using modern gettext. By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml. For platforms where this isn't available, setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON will allow building but some strings will not be extracted to gnucash.pot
Pass GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT through to distcheck. So that they don't have to be exported in the environment if they're needed.
Bugs fixed in this release:
Bug 764245 - multi-column reports include incorrect sub-reports
Bug 793460 - gnucash/import-export/csv-imp/assistant-csv-trans-import.cpp:1941 is impossible to translate.
Bug 793467 - GnuCash crashes when trying to open a binary file instead of a CSV.
Bug 793699 - start_spath could be used uninitialised.
Bug 793900 - 2.7.5: test failure: 105 - python-bindings.
Bug 793941 - 2.7.4: test failure on i686: 59 - test-gnc-timezone. Don't test before 1916, that's not a common GnuCash use-case.
Bug 793947 - Impossible to render printable invoice
Bug 794031 - The checkbox "Placeholder" cann't be changed in dialog "Setup selected accounts". Enable placeholder toggle and provide callback. The text for this account tree view specifies "If you would like an account to be a placeholder account, click the checkbox for that account." but they were not enabled and no call back was defined so enabled the toggle button and provide callback.
Bug 794083 - gnucash-2.7.5: cmake+make build installs Makefile.
Bug 794137 - 2.7.5: test failure: 60 - test-gnc-numeric. Fixed by overloading operator<<(std::ostream&, GncNumeric) to call operator<<(std::wostream&, GncNumeric) and convert the result to utf8.
Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
Csv imp settings - internalize prefix handling This information is not relevant outside of the settings code. The way it's implemented now each settings module defines its own unique prefix and the generic code can just use it when needed.
Csv import - improve memory handling in the assistant class. Make it more RAII, in that whatever the class allocates, it should also deallocate. This simplifies a couple of memory handling cases. The only exception is the generic import matcher that for some reason has chosen to deallocate itself. To be fixed when more importers are converted to c++
Add some background info on memory management in CSV importers. As the assistant code combines multiple memory management models care should be taken not to mix them up. The notes should give some insights in how to do this. Also fix a few minor issues
delete default copy and move constructor/assignment for the assistant gui class
nullify a freed pointer
Lots of transient parent warnings fixed.
Fix Segmentation fault when going to File->New. When selecting the File->New with existing register pages open a crash can happen as the register pages get closed forcing a page-changed signal to queue the page focus function when there is no page. Add a call to remove the page focus function in the ..destroy_widget function. Also with the addition of g_idle_remove before the add when page-changed is emitted the page focus function only gets run once.
Speed up GUID equality comparison.
Fix CPack package version number. Currently running "ninja-build package" produces a file with an incorrect version number. This patch passes the CMake version variables into CPack to get the correct filename. Note, however, that there's more work to do to get CPack to actually be useful and the current CPack settings may be removed unless that other work is done.
Add spacing between border and text in dialog "New Accounts Hierarchy Setup".
With register obscured the sheet kept being redrawn When the register is obscured by another window, the sheet would get lot of draw events. This was tracked down to getting the foreground colour for the item-edit widget for the state GTK_STATE_FLAG_NORMAL. Changed this to use the value obtained from gtk_widget_get_state_flags.
Use the gnc_prefs_get_bool values to update cache values. This way is a safer way to update the cache values in case the settings changed signal fails to trigger or there is a double trigger and the cached value gets out of sync with the preference value.

New in GnuCash 2.7.5 Unstable (Feb 26, 2018)

NEW FEATURES FOR USERS:
Locate all user data and configuration files to platform-dependent standard locations: CSIDL_APPDATA/GnuCash (Windows)
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)
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.
FOR DEVELOPERS AND DISTRO PACKAGES:
Some cruft removal in libgnucash/scm plus moving some code to its only use location. "main.scm" is renamed to "utilities.scm".
The "printf" family of Scheme custom functions is replaced with the built-in "format" facility.
Change a generally unnecessary warning about being unable to open a module (usually because the file is still being created) to a debug message. It appears mostly during highly parallel builds and was distracting.
Added dependency information to all CMake targets, replacing a dependency on build order that was carried over from autotools. Highly parallel builds in ninja now complete without interuption.
Ensure that all GtkBuilder and GtkUIManager files are correctly installed and that no configuration of build products in those directories are.
Appstream configuration is updated to the latest spec.
Fix installation of a gnucash-only gschemas.compiled overwriting the system one. Note that if you install to a DESTDIR you'll need to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving the contents of $DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide it from the user.
gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with different parameters.
For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts" name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters e.g. limited account types.
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 793122 - 2.7.3: ninja build fails.
Bug 793155 - Gnucash 2.7.4 crashes on launch MacOS 10.13.4 PB1
Bug 793278 - wrong data in charts with accumulated values (like "net-linechart", "net-barchart" and "liabilities barchart")
Bug 793568 - "Cash Flow" report crashes
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
UPDATED TRANSLATIONS:
German, Greek, Slovak, Spanish
A new set of business account templates for India's new GST; use locale en_IN to enable them.

New in GnuCash 2.7.4 Unstable (Feb 5, 2018)

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

New in GnuCash 2.7.3 Unstable (Jan 2, 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 790526 - Mathematical bug.
Bug 771667 - Change reconciled splits warning:
This patch displays two distinct warnings when changing protected fields of a transaction that contains reconciled splits. If the fields date, num and description are changed, then the warning list the accounts that have reconciled splits and also advises that they will be unreconciled after editing the transaction. If the fields account, transfer, debit or credit are changed then the warning advises that the split will be unreconciled after editing the transaction. There is still just one warning preference as it is all to do with fields protected by reconciliation.
Bug 787497 - Disabling options cripples dist package:
PARTIAL FIX: WITH_OFX, WITH_SQL and WITH_AQBANKING handling is fixed. The dist files for these features are always included in the dist tarball.
Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7:
Set a feature to prevent versions older that 2.6.20 from loading a database from which they cannot read the dates. Ideally we would do this only if the database is written to, but the current persistence design includes committing back to the database during the load so the net effect is that the flag would be set anyway. This is a compatibility change guarded by a feature.
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.
Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state of ENABLE_BINRELOC, GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and whether any install paths have been set outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
GNUInstallDirs changes the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the operating system and distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr, /usr/local, or any subdirectory of /opt it also changes CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by Aaron Laws mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the build library directory.
It's possible for builders to set any of the install directories anywhere they please. Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks Binreloc so the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and disables Binreloc. If Binreloc is enabled then all path queries use it to find paths. This works in the build directory because the gnucash executable and all of the test programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path. If Binreloc is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set GNC_BUILDDIR to the absolute path of the build directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR replaces CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are appended whole to GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake and gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR without Binreloc.

New in GnuCash 2.6.19 (Dec 18, 2017)

New in GnuCash 2.7.2 Unstable (Nov 26, 2017)

Bugs fixed in this release:
Bug 734865 - Assign as Payment... can silently 'unpay' a payed invoice
if the selected transaction is already linked to an existing payment, the payment dialog will present this payment again (same partner, post-to account, same selected document(s), same amount, memo, and transfer account).
if the selected transaction is not linked to an existing business transaction the logic will make a best guess as to whether the payment should be for a customer or vendor.
in both situations if the existing transaction has multiple splits that can be considered as transfer (or 'payment') splits the payment dialog can't work with it (it can only deal with one transfer split). In this case the user will be informed that only one valid transfer split will be retained and the others ignored.
the other thing the payment dialog can't handle are APAR type splits that are not associated to a lot at all. In case of transactions not part of a business transaction they will be silently ignored on the assumptions these were manually entered transactions with the intention to be linked to business transactions. On the other hand if such a split is part of a transaction that is also linked to a business payment already, a warning will be issued these splits will be removed from the new payment.
Bug 778692 - Assign as payment should work for employee expense vouchers
if gnucash can deduce a partner from the transaction that partner will be proposed this works for all transactions that are part of a business transaction already and will correctly detect pre-existing customer, vendor and employee payments
if no partner can be deduced gnucash will assume the transaction to be a vendor or customer payment based on the sign
in all cases the user can change the partner type in the payment window that's presented to any of customer, vendor or employee to correct gnucash' suggestion.
Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend.
Wherin the problem is that MySQL's TIMESTAMP has a date range of 1970-01-01 00:00:01 to 2038-01-19 03:14:07 and is unable to handle time_t of 0. MySQL's TIMESTAMP also assumes that input is in the server's timezone and adjusts it to UTC. GnuCash has already done that conversion.
Bug 789608 - Compilation problems when linking libraries.
Bug 789928 - FTBFS with libdbi 0.9.0-5 on Debian.
Bug 790550 - FTBFS: missing __init__.py
Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
SQL parameter quoting is corrected in the backend so that only string parameters are quoted. This caused trouble when trying to store SQL NULL; the string 'NULL' is different from the value NULL.
SQL table versions weren't set consistently and a bogus version test could cause some tables to be not loaded.
Better, more targeted handling of MySQL's penchant for setting date-time fields to "0000-00-00 00:00:00" if it doesn't like the input. This should be much less common thanks to fixing Bug 784623.
Major repairs to the "Dense Calendar" date selector.
Fix colors on graph reports so that the selections work and the defaults are no longer transparent.
Two large batches of styling fixes for Gtk3 from Bob Fewell.
Fix the guile-compiled path in the environment file so that GnuCash can start on Windows.
Convert the graphical reports to use GnuCash's rational numbers instead of doubles for better accuracy.

New in GnuCash 2.7.1 Unstable (Oct 30, 2017)

New in GnuCash 2.7.0 Unstable (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 (Sep 25, 2017)

New in GnuCash 2.6.17 (Jul 4, 2017)

Between 2.6.16 and 2.6.17, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
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
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
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.

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.
Update README to refer to wiki Submitting_Patches and regarding pull request policy.

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

[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

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.

[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.
[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.

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.

Add a gnc_quartz_set_menu call to main_window_new() so that newly created windows get their menus on the mac menu.
Fix up the Mac shutdown process to give Gnucash a chance to clean up without spewing critical errors about the main loop already running (because of calling gnc_shutdown in an event handler).

Bug #650757: Fix Easy & footer styles output wrong tags iso preventing HTML 4.01 Transitional validation This patch removes the wrong tags and closes the center tag in the footer and easy stylesheets.
Bug #645221: Patch to show the headline as an h3 across all stylesheets The attached patch makes sure that the title fonts set through the options menu behaves consistently across all style sheets.

Bug #650139: Fix missing doctype preventing HTML 4.01 transitional validation Exported reports lack a document type, preventing HTML validation. When exporting this may lead browsers to incorrectly read the reports generated by GnuCash.
Bug #650138: Style plain: Fix incorrect tag around preventing HTML 4.01 transitional validation
Bug #649992: Let owner-report aging table include due date / post date options in aging. The attached patch patches the owner report to: *Allow a choice between the use of Due Date and Date Posted *Report with the current bucket

Bug #644762: Deprecated __new__() call in function_class.py
Bug #647360: Invoice entries in expense voucher are created in old voucher, not in new one. It worked fine for customer invoices, and vendor bills, but not expense vouchers, where the feature was broken all along.
Bug #647242: Fix broken averaging for quarter or half-year step size
Bug #647316: Fix crash when deleting custom report if no backup file existed. Before deleting the backup file by (delete-file), it must be checked whether the to-be-deleted file exists, otherwise the guile procedure will crash.
Fix warning about NULL guid_list in xaccQueryAddAccountGUIDMatch, which caused some total amounts in reports to disappear. Apparently gnc:account-get-trans-type-splits-interval didn't watch out for empty lists of accounts, and the resulting split list somehow was bogus. Now that we check for empty account list, all is fine again. This was broken for some months by now, maybe since r20404?

New in GnuCash 2.4.0 (Feb 28, 2011)

User-visible changes
Use proper decimal separator for monetary amounts
If you have a parent account with a subaccount whose commodity allows more decimal places in the amount field than the parent account does things don't work right if you open a register for the parent account and all subaccounts. This situation can occur if you have a broker account with subaccounts for the securities held in that broker account. If you open a register for the top account and all subaccounts, it is impossible to enter a transaction to buy or sell a fractional share of the security where there are more digits after the decimal point than the parent account allows. This change fixes this if the subaccount allows no more than six digits after the decimal point.
When creating a new style sheet, make sure the name for it is non-empty.
Implement (but currently deactivated) auto-completion in the invoice ledger using all entries from the current book. Eventually, this will enable drawing the auto-completion from all entries in the previous invoices (i.e. book-wide), but in order to give the user a good enough feedback during typing we additionally need a quick-fill object over those book-wide entries. Currently, the user cannot see whether the current description would result in an auto-completion from another invoice, and that's not yet enough.
Implement auto-completion in the invoice/bill entry ledger.
Take a first shot at adding auto-completion in the business ledger, but currently it doesn't do anything yet.
Updated translations or translation-related changes
Updated POTFILES.in
Mark erroneous translation as fuzzy because it doesn't have the correct c-format.
Reverse inadvertent mods to po/POTFILES.in in r19904
Updated Greek translation provided by Nikos Charonitakis.
Updated Japanese translation, copied from the Translation Project.
Add "discount" to all glossary files because some languages use different translations in billing terms and invoices. Additional the german translation is added to glossary/de.po. This change does not break the string freeze as it is not user visible.
Update German translation. (This includes the 14 new strings which are already there but not yet being used.)
Merge German translation with latest pot template. This is merged using msgmerge --no-location de.po gnucash.pot -o de.new.po and we use "--no-location" to make the updates actually readable. (Unfortunately this doesn't prevent the strings from changing ordering anyway. Oh well.)
Remove superfluous whitespace at end of string. Incidentally, this way the string already exists and no broken translation results.
When extracting the translation strings from the scheme files, sort the scheme files to obtain a stable ordering of the output.
Bugs fixed
Bug #637346: Adding python-bindings to doxygen documentation Patch by Christoph Holtermann.
Bug #637041: Revert r19861 as the patch from bug#635439 causes a crash. The patch can be re-applied after the 2.4.0 release is out, but for now I prefer to defer it until after the release. To be precise, this patch reverts all parts of bug#635439: r19861, r19860, r19854, r19853.
Bug #629446: TRY is now called plain Turkish Lira.
Bug #454109: Online banking: grey out online actions when there is no online account Patch by Manfred Usselmann: Online actions are disabled for accounts which have no bankcode and account id assigned This fix does not require initialization of the AB_BANKING object.
Bug #635926: Lower-case the name of the lock table to avoid confusing Postgres. Also abstract it to a static variable instead of repeating the string everywhere.
Bug #635967: Slots didn't correctly read the path semantics stored by 2.3.15 and earlier. Corrected, but note that 2.3.15 and earlier didn't write lists to the database, so users should re-save from XML using 2.3.17 or later.
Bug #635355: Partly implement the correct "DTAUS import and send" feature again. Patch by Manfred Usselmann. The main part of the feature is delayed until the string freeze is lifted. This part (without adding strings) implements the infrastructure for sending only the correctly imported transactions to the bank later.
Bug #636459: Recursively delete slots contained in slots of type KVP_TYPE_FRAME or KVP_TYPE_LIST.
Bug #635859: Strip all trailing '/'es from kvp_slot paths when loading. This changes round-tripping slightly (because the resulting slot key won't have the trailing slash when it's re-saved as xml). It may also change the behavior of the facility using the slot, because the key is changed. So far, the only known instances which trip this bug are import-map-bayes, because descriptions may have '/'es in them (and why shouldn't they). Unfortunately, fixing this right (so that key values can have embedded '/''es and be saved/retrieved from sql databases will require changing the slot architecture in ways that impact the engine. Since we don't have adequate unit tests to be confident of not introducing a regression, I'm applying this instead.
Bug #609472: Fix translation of displayed style sheet names in the style sheet editor.
Bug #635911 GnuCash crashes out when trying to save-as MySQL Disclaimer: This fix attempt is purely based on the information given in the bug report and code reading. I never could reproduce this bug but the code suggests an unitialized pointer may be the the cause.
Bug #635469: Add a (typemap for a) QofQueryParamList typedef. Patch by Matthijs Kooijman: This is a typedef for a GSList, that is used to identify the path from an object to one of its parameters in search queries and sorting. This typedef replaces GSList everywhere where it's applicable. This relieves the need to special case a few functions in the swig bindings and makes the bindings for a bunch of other functions work as well. Note this is (still) only an in typemap, since no useful functions that return a QofQueryParamList are exposed in the bindings right now anyway.
Bug #635632: Update existing eguile reports to use new for syntax. Patch by Matthijs Kooijman : This makes use of the new for syntax introduced in the previous commit, making these reports and templates a bit easier to read and modify.
Bug #635632: Add custom for loop syntax for eguile templates Patch by Matthijs Kooijman : The built-in for-each loop construct is a bit cumbersome: It always requires an explicit lambda and the list to loop over is the last argument. Especially the latter makes it very hard to read when the lambda is big and multiple for-each'es are nested. For hashes, this prevents the need of the cumbersome hash-fold and slightly better hash-for-each (which still suffers from the same problems as for-each and is not available in guile 1.6). This new syntax allows for three distinct syntaxes: * Looping over a single list: (for a in lst do (display a)) * Looping over multiple lists: (for (a b) in (lsta lstb) do (display (+ a b))) * Looping over a hash: (for key => value in hash do (display (* key value)))
Bug #635469: Add bindings for running a qofquery on invoices. This adds a new typedef "GncInvoiceList" with the corresponding typemap, and adds two new functions qof_query_create_for_invoices and qof_query_run_for_invoices, which are trivial wrappers around qof_query_create_for and qof_query_run respectively.
Bug #635355: Add public declaration of gnc_info_dialog. Patch by Manfred Usselmann.
Bug #635439: Patch to autoset owner in the payment dialog Patch by Matthijs Kooijman
Revert "Bug #635439: Patch to autoset owner in the payment dialog" This reverts commit 232ae4064952cb65e9703d61778cb1531d2e4f56.
Bug #635439: Fix "Pay invoice" while the invoice dialog is open. Patch by Matthijs Kooijman : If you use "Pay invoice", normally a new payment dialog is opened which is completely filled in. However, when there was already a dialog open, it was reused but only the owner would be filled in. This patch makes sure that the invoice and amount are filled in as well.
Bug #635439: Patch to autoset owner in the payment dialog Patch by Matthijs Kooijman : In the payment dialog, set the owner when an invoice is selected Before, you would always need to select an owner manually. If you would just select an invoice (which was possible, since the invoice selection is not disabled when no owner has been selected yet), pressing OK would error out because no owner was selected. This patch makes sure that when an invoice is selected, but no owner is selected yet, the right owner is filled into the owner selection box automatically. This also happens when the wrong owner is selected, which can happen because the invoice autocompletion is not limited to invoices from the selected owner, but always completes all invoices. This could cause weird behaviour: Select an owner, then use completion to select an invoice by another owner and press ok. This would cause the amount for the invoice by the other owner to be charged against the first owner. This patch prevents that by replacing the first owner by the other owner in the dialog. This patch also changes gnc_invoice_set_owner to no longer reset the invoice selection to NULL. Instead, this is now handled by
Other code/build changes
Update configure.ac to 2.4.0 Update gnucash-bin.c to indicate stable version is 2.4.0, next stable version 2.6 Here we go...
Add gnc-backend-dbi-priv.h to list of header files so that 'make distcheck' passes
Fixed date problem in MySql backend
Removed accidentally created directory.
Add enumeration of indexes in sql backends. This is a first step to rewriting databases in a safe way. Indexes are named entities in sql databases and so need to be renamed along with the tables before creating and populating a new set. This change also introduces a unit test of the new enumeration, and that test has to be able to see data structures which are private to gnc-backend-dbi.c, so those data structures are moved to a new file, gnc-backend-dbi-priv.h, which both gnc-backend-dbi.c and tests/test-stuff.c can include.
Add debug helper function qofeventid_to_string.
Support for GncCommodityNamespace, better support for GncCommodity, and example enhancements. Patch supplied my Mark Jenkins.
Changes to example Script to include added namespace functionality This patch changes the example script to reflect the capability of reading all namespaces. Patch provided by Christoph Holtermann.
Cutecash: Add generation of dummy gnc-version.h file.
Add missing newline at end of file
Replace more obsolete #define'd function names by their current names.
Add gitignore for backup files from make check.
Replace more obsolete #define'd function names by their current names.
Make "make check" work when run from "make distcheck".
Replace obsolete #defines by the current function names.
Follow-up to r19928: Include gnc-version.h with directory path to avoid picking the wrong file.
Improve the cached quickfill for GncEntry description lines of r19941.
Add APIs to get/set a flag signifying that a transaction is a book-closing txn. This is necessary for Bug #570042 but doesn't completely solve it until the reports are updated to use the new API. This is backwards-compatible with the slot data inserted by the book closing since 2010-03-02.
Adds checking of gnc_commodity_namespace in glists In src/base-typemaps.i check for return type gnc_commodity_namespace is added so that it is returned instead of gnc_type_monetary. Thanks to Christoph Holtermann for the patch.
Move price_database_example.py to the correct place and remove incorrect path/file
Change indent to 4 sp
Implement prerequisites for full auto-completion in the entry ledger. Added a cached quickfill for GncEntry description lines. Extend QuickFillCell interface to be able to use a common cached quickfill.
Remove doubled include files. (Also, QuickFill.h doesn't depend on gdk.h)
Add messages to backend errors, ensuring that qof_session_backend_get_message() will actually get a useful message, or that there will be a descriptive warning immediately before in the trace file.
Move gnc-version.h and gnc-svninfo.h from gnome-utils to core-utils.
If the build directory is not the source directory and the source directory is read only, the build fails. Fix by only making guile-strings.c if building from SVN.
Get rid of the rest of the gnc-prices man page, r19921 is incomplete
Remove variable names that conflict with Python keywords. Relevent when using SWIG autodoc feature for python bindings.
Add �ature("autodoc", "1"); to gnucash_core.i to pass C documentation through to python interface.
New example script for prices dababase. Thanks to Christoph Holtermann for contributing to this.
Remove obsolete gnc-prices man page
Add Gnucash svn version to sql versions table.
Insert missing space
Re-enable -Werror in Makefile.am and remove �ature("autodoc", "1"); from gnucash_core.i
Add commodity price functions to bindings. See Bug 636457 for more details.
Add PriceList to typemap for Python bindings
Patch by Matthijs Kooijman. In r19863, some qofquery bindings were added. For those to compile, business-core.i now includes qofquery.h. However, this causes the bindings for qofquery.h to be generated twice: Once through engine.i and once through business-core.i. The latter generated broken versions of the bindings, breaking (at least) the receivable aging report. This commit changes the %include to an %import, so the new bindings still compile but the query bindings don't get generated twice.
Re-indentation of source code. This re-indentation was done using astyle-1.24 using the following options: astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper --pad-header --suffix=none
Make prototype for gnc_entry_ledger_get_entry public. Add documentation.
Fix GtkSpinButton with page-size deprecated warning in gnucash.trace

New in GnuCash 2.3.17 Unstable (Nov 23, 2010)

Bugs fixed:
Bug #589954: No blank split after creating a new account "on the fly" while editing a transaction. Cause was that gnc_split_register_get_account_by_name() turned of "full_refresh" if the account didn't already exist and turned it back on only if the name of the account actually created in the new account dialog box differed from the one originally entered in the transaction. Since "full_refresh" isn't manipulated much, that effectively shut down the ledger for further editing. Probably not what the original author intended!
Bug #634906 - Re-enable splash screen preference option
Bug #633550 - Help and concepts guide are missing from the prebuilt binary (because xsltproc chokes on undefined entities)
Bug #609581 - Gnucash 2.3.8 offers to create db and then fails to do so
Bug 628409: SQL coerces identifiers to lowercase, but postgres's C interface is case sensitive.
Bug 592643: Set standard_conforming_strings on postgresql databases.
Bug 634964: Crash in pgsql_error_fn. The dbi_conn isn't set if the server refuses the connection, so protect dereferences from null pointers.
Bug #634357 followup: convert New and Open submenus into plain menus
Bug #634812: Improve backend error reporting for Session begin Patch by Mike E: The current error feedback to a python scrpt/user looks something like: call to begin resulted in the following errors, (7,) This change in gnucash_core.py makes the feedback similar to: call to begin resulted in the following errors, ERR_BACKEND_LOCKED This is less cryptic and aid debugging of user python scripts. My only issue though is whether this would break existing user scripts where checking of this error code is used for flow control. Although since the ERR_ codes are imported with gnucash_core_c it *should* have no effect.
Bug #634357: Further menu ui cleanup: Reserve File New/Open menu only the file-related items anymore. The menu items under "File" should relate only to the file (database), not to anything within a file. The open/new for all other things (budget, invoice, account) have been moved somewhere else.
Minor fix of r19802, bug#634673: config.h is in builddir, not srcdir; add last .i file dependency.
Bug 634673: Add dependency information & fix typo in python-bindings Makefile.
Bug 634392: New sql database raises clobber warning A fairly extensive change, because I changed may_clobber from a global qof function (which passed through qofbackend and fetched up in the actual backends) to a local static in the individual backends which raise a new qof_backend_error, QOF_ABCKEND_STORE_EXISTS. This was necessary to reorder the existence check before the lock, because with the sql backends, locking creates the database... which then would return may_clobber as true, even though it really wasn't. New parameter "force" added to session_begin() functions, and "create_if_nonexistant" is renamed to simply "create". The reason for the latter is that the file/database is created regardless of whether it already exists; that's what the clobber check is about. The new "force" parameter is set to true the second time through, after the user has responded to the clobber dialog indicating that the data should be destroyed. Many of the extraneous changes are just adding the new parameter to the session_begin() calls. gnc-file changes to handle the error in favor of calling the no-longer-existing qof_check_may_clobber_data() call after session_begin(). Two minor changes to gnc_file_do_save_as: gnc_add_history and gnc_hook_run are now called on new_session instead of old_session; this ensures that the new file/database is used at the next startup of gnucash. Second, the filename/url is filtered before displaying the "may_clobber" dialog box to prevent displaying plaintext database passwords.
Bug #634165: Better dealing with a locked database in python Patch by Christoph Holtermann: For the second enhancement proposal i have attached a simple patch which adds the argument ignore_lock to Session.__init__() which is passed through to qof_session_begin. This patch extends the function Session.__init__() with ignore_lock
Bug #634357: Move the Budget Open/New menu items to Actions -> Budget -> New Budget / Open Budget because they have nothing to do with the file menu.
Bug 634334: Check that subdir argument really is one of the two cases we can handle. Wrap fileURLWithPath in @try/@catch so that we don't crash when it throws. Free bonus fix: If "en" is the language and doesn't have a translation, force the C locale.
Bug 634334: Crash on selecting New User Tutorial from new user dialog.
Bug #633942: Fix "nil" column header on single account report When I open a report window (barchart in the example) and select only one account, I get a column header saying "nil" near the only data column. Someone accidentally wrote "nil" instead of the empty list '().
Bug #634252: Re-enable the splash screen if the user selects open anyway If during startup a file or database turns out to beeing locked the user is presented a dialog with the options to open anyway, create a new file or abort. This dialog, however, closes the splash screen. This may cause confusion, because file loading and report generation may still take quite some time.
Updated translations or translation-related changes
Updated Italian Translation.
Updated dutch translation, copied from Translation Project
Minor update of German translation. In the "bills due" dialog we use Bill -> Rechnung, not Lieferantenrechnung.
Other user-visible changes:
Fix crash when using the function "Import DTAUS and send". The actual function is still implemented, though.
Other code/build changes:
Correct patch submission instructions to direct patches to bugzilla rather than the mailing list.
Splash screen: minor code cleanup
Fix error in r19822 which prevented creation of postgres databases.
Fix python samples to work with reordered Session.__init__() args
Fixed aqbanking transaction type on importing DTAUS online transfers. Patch by Manfred Usselmann.
Disable Italian docs generation I just accidentally enabled. It wasn't enabled before the xsltproc issue popped up, so it shouldn't be enabled now.
Reactivate English docs generation in Windows build
When preparing imported DTAUS jobs, check their availability as well.
Fix misplaced comment in gnome-utls/gnome-file.c from 19798
Make arguments to Session.__init__() have the same order as to qof_session_begin() to reduce potential confusion.
Fix typo in AUTHORS, as pointed out by Mike himself.
Add Mike Evans to AUTHORS as he has been providing patches regularly.
Win32 build: Update versions of libktoblzcheck, gwenhywfar4.
Add force_new parameter to GnuCashCoreClass.__init__, reflecting change to qof_session_begin() in r19798
Increase gnutls version to 2.8.6 (might fix bug#632158)

New in GnuCash 2.3.16 Unstable (Nov 8, 2010)

Bugs fixed
Bug 632346: Fixed test failures in dbi
Bugs 632346 & 632166: Fixup transaction currency scrubbing. Biggest problem was that almost well-formed transactions missing a currency element wouldn't import correctly because the FindCommonCurrencies function only used the old currency values, ignoring the commodity values in the splits' accounts. A new function, xaccFindCommonCurrencies(), looks at those first and then calls xaccFindOldCommonCurrencies only if it fails. That addresses the cause of the import failure reported in 632166 and a big chunk of the warning messages complained about in 632346. A secondary problem, also addressed in this change, was that the last block in xaccTransScrubCurrencyFromSplits always replaced the "amount" with the "value". This is the right thing to do if the commodity for the split account is a currency, but if it isn't, the replacement should be reversed.
Bug 629238: Part 2: Extend locking table to SQLite3.
Bug 629238: Part 1: Create a lock table for postgresql and mysql backends.
Bug 627831: Implements recursion into storing and retrieving nested slot frames and lists.
Bug #630770 - Crash when connection lost using db
Bug #629524: Fix redundant string.
Bug 611077: Removed warnings, webkit handles jumps to anchors internally
Bug #502853 - Incorrent tax rounding in invoice (rounding of .5) This patch changes the default rounding behaviour in GnuCash from "Round to nearest even" to "Round away to infinity". See the bugreport for more details on these different rounding methods.
Bug #593479 - Account file being deleted because of erroneous checking for lock file. Replaces the pointer arithmetics with string functions and regexes where possible to avoid typical pointer pitfalls.
Bug 3786338. Change r19243 deleted a call to xaccTransBeginEdit which causes a crash replaying a log that deletes an existing transaction. Log replay should now do exactly one xaccTransBeginEdit/xaccTransCommitEdit call per logged transaction.
Bug 632166: Restore the old session if "save as" fails. Save as would make a new session the "current session" and attempt to save it. If it failed, the new session (with an invalid database) would remain the current session -- and would be marked clean. An XML-only file-save-as dialog would be presented with no instructions about what was going on. With this change, if the "save as" fails, the old session is restored, still marked unsaved. This should be much less confusing to users and more likely to avoid data loss. Yes, there's some duplicated code now, because do_save_as doesn't call save. That's because save did some extra things that do_save_as doesn't need and it didn't allow do_save_as to properly correct the session. This could be refactored into some tiny functions, but that seems a bit excessive to me.
Bug 632166: gnc_backend_sql_sync_all: Commit only if all operations were successful; otherwise roll back.
Bug 632166: A Better fix that doesn't break string freeze or introduce a Gtk GUI dependency into the backend.
Bug 632166: Notify user when something goes wrong with a transaction save.
Bug 611077: Warn instead of assert about gtk_html_jump_to_anchor not being implemented in webkit. Note, however, that Webkit seems to take care of this on its own, so even the warning may be unnecessary.
Fix #630286 - Please add handling code for GDate kvp values in SQL, too If slots table does not include gdate field, it will be added and all current slots will have a NULL value. Tested on sqlite3 and mysql. Tested using the example gnucash file referenced from the bug report. When saved from XML -> sqlite3 -> XML, some timestamps changed their timezone because of a change of timezone (I'm in North America). I guess this is OK.
Bug #631058: Add future date period choices to be available in the date options Patch by Chris Leach: This patch provides date utilities to calculate future dates. This allows easy selection of common future periods. cstim adds: This patch adds new strings, but they are not used anywhere so far, i.e. they will not be user-visible. Hence, I agree those scheme functions may be useful for external report writers and for this reason they are already added. Note: The original submission would have added those options to the standard relative-date chooser report option, but I (cstim) do not support adding those extra option for all reports as standard setting. Hence, the usage of this additional choices has to be added by the report writer explicitly.
Bug #593479: Ensure not to accidentally delete our main account file. Original patch by Tim Retout who writes: strptime is passed (name + pathlen + 1) as the string to search. However, when looking at the main account file, strlen(name) == pathlen, so strptime is looking at the point just past the end of name. Sometimes this will be parseable by strptime, and this leads to the account file being unlinked.

Fix bug 573702. When reading an old data file that doesn't have a template root account for scheduled transactions invent one.
Bug #137017: Save the transaction date as a GDate directly, additionally. This way, the date that was entered by the user is now at least saved in the kvp and can later be retrieved in case we really fix the timezone dependence of our txn's dates.
Bug #370331: Store the numeric values of SX in their kvp as well, if possible. For SX whose values do not depend on any variables, we now store the numeric value as well. This way, we get rid of locale-dependent parsing errors due to changing decimal separators in changing locales - at least for SX which do not use variables.
Bug #616697 - string "Payment rec'd..." should be more cleared.
Bug #626681 - date fields missing in GUI, lost in change from 2.2.9 to 2.3.14
o Bug #588414 - Got "Entry Point Not Found" errors starting GnuCash, but ran OK The problem is caused by leftover files from a previous install. The solution is to uninstall GnuCash before installing a new version in such cases. This commit adds a compatibility test and uninstall step to the windows installer that will automatically uninstall the previous gnucash release if it is considered 'incompatible' with the one to be installed. The user will be warned of this, so he can decide to cancel the installation if he doesn't like the idea of uninstalling his working GnuCash installation. Currently, versions are considered 'incompatible' if their major or minor version components are different, so 2.3.x is incompatible with 2.2.x and will trigger an uninstall. Likewise, a 2.4.x install is incompatible with a 2.3.x and will trigger an uninstall. This is a nice way to remove all testing 'cruft' from the system once the new release comes out. Note that in the future installing 2.3.16+ over 2.4.x will also trigger the uninstall, which is a good thing IMO. An older release can't know about changes made in a newer one, so it's safer to first uninstall the newer one to avoid leftover files.

Fix error in dense-cal widget where the last occurrence of a SX wasn't displayed.
Really fix error in sx_get_num_occur for SX which are limited by num_occur. Follow-up to r19757 which was incomplete. Hopefully I now really got everything.
Fix error in sx_get_num_occur for SX which are limited by num_occur. The last occurrence wasn't counted because it was still valid but turned num_occur_rem to zero, hence the counting stopped one too early.
Revised handling of obsolete security elements, made log messages better. Accounts with security elements would only use the security to update the commodity if there wasn't a commodity; however, the files in the tests had accounts which had a security and a commodity, where the commodity was a currency. That's wrong. so now if the commodity is a currency, the security will overwrite it. Added the account name and element name to the log message to assist in troubleshooting, should that be needed.
Preferences window improvements: * Accounting Period: reorder options so the dates are on top * Business: reorder options to clarify which options are general and which apply to invoices or bills only * Business: remove obscure "Number of lines" option * Register defaults: remove obscure "Number of lines" option * General: remove "Show splash screen" option While removing the "Number of lines" options, I have also removed most of the code that used this option. The number of lines was used to calculate the default window size in various places in the code. The code now simply uses sensible defaults for that.
Suspend GUI refresh while replaying a log file to avoid flicker and speed it up dramatically.
File dialog - make enter activate the default action for mysql/pgsql selection. This was already the case in the standard file selector. This change makes the two selection methods more consistent.
Other code/build changes
Add 'test-dbi-business' to svn:ignore
Add test-dbi-business-stuff.h to EXTRA_DIST so "make distcheck" passes
Fix the errors, reduce the noise when testing the dbi backend * Check for a null gdate before attempting to make it a string. Fixes a bunch of CRIT errors. * Comment out the log debug setting in dbi. It's stable enough that it shouldn't be needed routinely. It can, of course, be enabled from the command line. * Add a notice to ignore the warnings about there being no lock on the database when session 3 is closed. Session 3 has to be run with ignore locking or it won't run at all.
Fix business-core tests so that all pass
Updated tests matching the xml backend as of 2011-11-02
Updated test files complying with the xml schema as of 2011-11-02
Minor fixups to dbi backend: * dbi_conn_error_flag is deprecated, replace with dbi_conn_error (Thanks, Christian). * Switch from OS-determined HOST_NAME_MAX to locally defined GNC_HOSTNAME_MAX so that the field is always 255 regardless of what OS creates it. * Use G_OS_WIN32 instead of naked WIN32
Win32 build: Update ktoblzcheck version number.
Some whitespace cleanups
Fix gtk warnings when erroneously setting the fixed-width property to zero.
INFO message to trace log if a table is automatically upgraded to newer version.
Update POTFILES.in with recent file addition.
Fix minor typo in error message.
Remove gnc_book_mark_saved from gnc_sql_save_book. It's a bit premature to mark the book as saved when we haven't yet saved its contents.
qoflog.h: No such macro as G_LOG_LEVEL_FATAL
Fix include files. Include files now only include other include files if symbols from the other files are needed by this one.
Remove lbgncmod-backend-xml as an additional library in business/business-core/test/Makefile.am. libgncmod-backend-xml.so is a loadable module, not a shared library, and it shouldn't be dynamically linked. While this will do no harm on Linux, it fails on OSX/Darwin.
Fix misplaced quote in backend/dbi/test/Makefile.am, broke dbi testing.
Rename old gnc_book_get_commodity_table into the newer gnc_commodity_table_get_table.
Spelling fixes in comments.
Replace all occurrences of the old gnc_book_get_pricedb with the newer gnc_pricedb_get_db
Partly revert r19550, "Bug #370331: Store the numeric values of SX..." This caused the numbers in the "SX from txn" to appear as "220/100" ratios, which we do not want.
Rework two nearly identical fuctions into a common function with parameters. Keep the old function names as convenience wrappers around the new function.
Remove obsolete example files: also remove them from the makefile.
Remove incompatible example files (X-Account) and update the README file
Commit missed file for gnc-fq-* location fix.
Make qof_query_run_subquery() available to scheme as well, and also the gnc_numeric options. Needed to remove an unimplemented function from header.
Replace some renamed functions by their real new names, removing the annoying #defines.
Make sure the right gnc-fq-* scripts are used. With the original configuration, whatever script was found first on the path was used. When testing development versions, this caused the also installed stable version to be used as it happened to appear first on the path.
Separate load paths for shared libraries and gnucash loadable modules. The former should be found on (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the latter on GNC_MODULE_PATH. These paths shouldn't overlap as that needlessly confuses things.
Make the INVOICE-BILLTO query predicate available to scheme also.
Fix erroneous extra package that I forgot to remove in r19641. It doesn't have to be reverted because libjpeg-7 shouldn't be needed with a clean webkit rebuild anyway.
Revert r19576, r19590, r19593, r19601: "Update gtk versions..." It's been 3 weeks without a working windows build. Apparently this has to wait until we have an updated webkit again. Revert this back once we have a working webkit with gtk-2.20.
Fix typos in comments.
Re-indentation of source code. This re-indentation was done using astyle-1.24 using the following options: astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper --pad-header --suffix=none
Add wrapper for obtaining a list of business objects as list of owners, and add SWIG wrappers so that scheme can use it.
Add a function gncBusinessGetList() that existed previously until r6680 so that a list of all customers can be obtained.
Decrease number of test iterations in old engine tests - they take just way too long otherwise. Also, nobody can actually give any reason as for why a higher number of iterations would really cover more of our test cases. My suspicion is that 2-3 iterations would be sufficient anyway, and only more clever test case construction would give a larger test coverage.
Add word wrapping to very long label in dialog-tax-info
Corrected a problem with c-format attribute.
Remove leading character N from tax code, but only if it is there, and remove leading blank character when no tax code.
Add kvp_frame_set_gdate() function
Win32 build: Temporarily disable the english (C) help compiling because it crashes the hhc.exe compiler.
Fix use of accelerator for a string.
Fix use of accelerators for some strings.
Win32 build: Needs libjpeg-7 in dist as well.
Win32 build: The existing webkit binary needs libjpeg-7, so we install that one, too.
Enclose book kvp manipulation in begin/commit_edit in aqbanking plugin.
Win32 build: Is running again. Some debug output of r19595 can be removed again.
Win32 build: Fix libxslt installation. Improve its calling arguments. Download inno before processing the docs (if the latter fails, we at least have inno).
Fix typo in osx_accel_map, caused error in Accounts page Actions>Transfer accelerator
Win32 build: Switch back gettext to 0.17 because 0.18 require libc++ which we don't want to have.
Win32 build: xsltproc needs its suitable iconv and zlib, so install it there.
Win32 build: Fix typo
Win32: Fix missing gettext-tools (is packaged in gettext-tools-dev)
Fix addition of gnc_numeric that was wrong in r19511.
Revert to previous version for erroneous commit.
add "isocodes" to reset directory
Win32: Fix function attributes when using gwenhywfar-4.
Win32 build: Remove installation directory before installing the new version. Require exact gwen/aqbanking version.
Win32: Try to fix the nightly build errors. (Directory went away?)
Win32: Fix checking for goffice installation
Win32 build: Update gtk to 2.20; let pkg-config check for the versions, hence triggering the update automatically.
Win32 build: Add version number checks for gtk and gconf so that updating them should work more easily.
Win32 build: Remove commented-out gtkhtml references.
Win32 build: Set gwen/aqbanking version numbers in defaults.sh.
Revert r19475. That revision fixed one rounding error, but introduced another one.
Add missing header, issue detected via failing make distcheck
Fix invalid po file header
Eliminate *-vicinity functions from e-guile reports.
Fix typo in comment
Add some disabled testing code that uses the stock gwenhywfar-gtk2 gui for online banking.
De-activate aqbanking5 by default again because it requires gtk-2.18 or higher, which we don't have. Sigh.
Fix Stock Split Druid.
Add getter function for the date in a datecell as a GDate.
Win32: Add gtk's cflags to gwenhywfar configure.
Relax configure test for svnversion of BUILDING_FROM_SVN was set beforehand. Helpful when building from git.
Fix counting of occurrence number w.r.t. the first valid date in the SX state.
Clarify Derek's code to be licensed "GPL v2 or later" as he has confirmed in private email. All of his other code has been licensed this way all along anyway. After this change, all source code files are licensed under both GPL version 2 and GPL version 3, which gives us enough flexibility in case any requirements might switch to GPL v3-only. But currently we are for sure both.
Spelling fixes in comments
Win32: Add gtk include path to gwenhywfar configure.
Win32: Add pkg-config version check for aqbanking so that the new version is installed without removing the old one manually.
Updated accounts chart by Seyfi Duyan.
Win32: Update aqbanking packages. Enable building with aqbanking5. In r19532 I accidentally already removed the Qt DLLs from the installer. Of course those can only be removed if indeed aqbanking5 is used, otherwise they must still be in the installer.
Add newly introduced gconf parameter in the default schema.
some bitrot in python bindings examples/tests, patch by Daniele Varrazzo
Remove aqbanking2 from windows build scripts. Add optional aqbanking5 instead, which works without QT.
Add scheme wrapper for SX cashflow calculation, including a typemap for the resulting GHashTable.
Add scheme/swig typemap for GDate.
Spelling correction in comment.
Consolidate accelerator map loading for OSX with the others. Accelerator maps can't be modified interactively in OSX so there's no point to reloading the saved map.
GnuCash on Windows is built with webkit, no need to install gtkhtml
Cleanup whitespace
Add vendor search to python bindings and refactors files gncIDSearch.c/h with vendor search. Patch by Mike Evans.
Remove obsolete file from distribution list
Make GnuCash more runtime relocatable by using dynamic paths in the environment file.
Restored changes of r19477 inadvertently reverted in r19515
Relicense code to GNU GPL v2 or later.
Update binreloc to use the free functions for bundle id and resource path
Windows build: strip the .la files in their new location
Windows version: * reduce footprint by not packaging unused files * move gnc-mod required files to bin * remove libdir from the PATH
Windows version: remove obsolete and duplicate parameters from the environment file
Implement the evaluation of SX cashflow.
More const correctness and refactoring in gnc-sx-instance-model.c.
Remove GNC_STANDARD_REPORTS_DIR from gnucash launcher as well.
Update man page following the recent removal of command line options.
Update license after Josh Sled's relicensing of his code under GPL v2 and/or v3. He wrote to gnucash-devel on 2010-08-28: Much of the last batch code I contributed to gnucash was licensed without the "or any later version" clause of the GPL boilerplate, and thus specifically and only under version 2 of the GPL. I hereby extend that to version 2 and/or version 3. Any contribution I've made to gnucash which was under the GPLv2 only may be considered to be under both v2 and v3.
I18n: Fix last remaining user-visible mention of the abbreviation "SX". This should have never appeared in a user message. However, in order not to make this single string untranslated, we add the correct form but don't use it yet so that it can be translated, and we will be using it once 2.4.0 is out and the string freeze lifted.
Calculate standard-reports dir internally instead of reading it from the environment. This is a step to make gnucash more run-time relocatable.
Readd LD_LIBRARY_PATH to environment to make sure Guile loads the proper shared libraries when multiple installations of GnuCash exist (like stable and devel version on one system).
Remove the config-path and share-path command line options. The values set on the command line were never used.
Some more uses of PACKAGE_NAME instead of "GnuCash"
Fix some obsolete uses of gnucash-bin.
Refactoring: replace all GNC_RND_* and GNC_DENOM_* occurences with their GNC_HOW_RND_* and GNC_HOW_DENOM_* equivalents And then remove the deprecated definitions.
Add functions to calculate the cash-flow numbers that will be generated by a Scheduled Transaction. Unfinished, though.
Add aqbanking5 extensions of GWEN_GUI object. We need to locally store a reference to that particular GWEN_GUI object that was used in Extend because we have more than one such object in use inside gnucash (currently). If accidentally the wrong one would be used in Unextend, a crash occurs.
Fix erroneous place of "Bildung" account in hierarchy: Was moved to top-level due to double parent tag.
Add new function gnc_sx_get_num_occur_daterange and unittests for this in test-sx.c.
And more const-correctnes in SchedXaction.h
Make sx-instance-model more const-correct. Improve documentation. Fix minor memory leak in gnc_sx_get_current_instances(void) - was not free'ing the GDate of now.
Impove const-correctness of SchedXaction.h functions; improve documentation. Also, replace "void *" by pointers to the actual type.
Unify label with src/gnome/gnc-plugin-page-register.c:379.
Move business-reports to the reports module.
Automatically map pre-2.3.15 report option names to their new 2.3.15 equivalents. This will ensure that users won't lose the settings they stored in saved reports and open report windows when switching from 2.2.x to 2.4. Note that this only works in one direction, from 2.2.x to 2.4. If a user switches back to 2.2.x, the open report windows will lose many settings, almost resetting them to their default state. Saved reports won't have this problem as they are copied to a new file during the migration. In detail: For open reports: pre-2.3.15 -> 2.3.15+ : options for open reports will be migrated 2.3.15+ -> pre-2.3.15 : options for open reports will be migrated For saved reports: 2.2.x -> 2.3.15+ : all options will be migrated, if saved-reports-2.4 does not yet exist pre-2.3.15 -> 2.3.15+ : options for saved reports won't be migrated but reports continue to work. It would be best to save the reports again, but my scheme-fu is not good enough to let the code do that automatically. Alternatively users should remove the file saved-reports-2.4 to recreate it on the next run, based on saved-reports-2.0. 2.3.15+ -> 2.2.x : options are unaffected, sine 2.2.x and 2.15 use different saved reports files 2.3.15+ -> pre-2.3.15 : reports saved in 2.3.15 will lose their options, older reports are unaffected. But returning to 2.3.15+, the options will continue to work.
Aqbanking: Enable gwengui-gtk2 implementation and fix setup wizard. Setup wizard was missing OnlineInit/OnlineFini calls around it; with them and the newest gwenhywfar, the setup wizard is now working again in a gtk2 implementation.
Add lookup of linker flags of libgwenhyfar-gui-gtk2. It is still disabled until more testing has been done, though.
Add instantiation of gwengui-gtk2 object in gnucash, which enables the setup wizard again, but it doesn't fully work yet. In particular, a quick test runs into significant UI work which is still needed, and also occasional crashes might occur. Hence, the gwengui-gtk2 parts have to be enabled manually by un-commenting USING_GWENHYWFAR_GTK2_GUI.
Minor simplification of aqbanking version number check.
Check for upgrading an older aqbanking configuration to its current version. This way, an older configuration is now updated automatically. Patch by Bill Nottingham, confirmed by Martin Preuss, adapted to aqbanking5 by myself.

New in GnuCash 2.3.15 Unstable (Sep 21, 2010)

Bugs fixed:
Bug #626459: Change Transaction Report default account selection to none I think in the specific case of the "Transaction Report" this is the better choice. The error message will be clear enough ("No accounts selected. Click here to Edit report options"), and it will probably meet the user expectation that some account needs to be selected anyway before something can be seen.
Bug #625193: Added 'search by ID' in python binding for invoices, customers and bills. Patch by Mike E and Mark Jenkins: When creating or appending to invoices, customers and bills, searching by ID is likely more useful than by GUID. I've added this functionality to the Python bindings. Search by ID using the python code: tmp = gnucash.gnucash_core_c.search_invoice_on_id(ID,book.instance) if tmp: invoice = gnucash.gnucash_business.Invoice(instance=tmp) Use the invoice object as in sample_scripts/simple_invoice_insert.py I support this patch, but I've made a few improvments of my own. I switched up the arguments in search_customer_on_id, search_invoice_on_id, search_bill_on_id to have Book first and ID second. The reason for this was to make these functions more consistent with the other functions where a search is done through a book on a particular attribute. Also added some specific python bindings support to allow this to be used as methods of Book: Book.CustomerLookupByID, Book.InvoiceLookupByID, Book.BillLoookupByID.
Bug #624721: Show backtrace for errors in eguile templates Patch by Matthijs Kooijman: The current eguile template implementation catches errors that occur while evaluating an eguile template. However, only the error is shown, not a backtrace (so no location of the error either). The attached patch modifies the error handling to also capture the stack backtrace, using a lazy exception handler (e.g., capture the stack before unwinding the stack to the real exception handler). To extract only the relevant part of the stack (e.g., the part inside the eguile template, not the tens of stack frames leading up to the report rendering), a stack dump is made just before evaluating the eguile template (so a sort of "diff" can be made). For more details, see the extensive comments in the patch itself.
Bug #616613: Automatically append the extension if user forgot append them. Patch by "Bob": The enclosed patch simply tests for a period in the file name, if one exists it leaves it alone, if not, it adds one plus a default extension.
Bug #626403: Fix inconsistent formatting between stylesheets (Webkit vs. gtkhtml) Patch by Alex Aycinena: The 'default' stylesheet formats the balance sheet, cash flow, income statement and transaction reports properly under webkit but not under gtkhtml. The 'easy', 'footer', and 'technicolor' stylesheets are the reverse; that is, they format the balance sheet, cash flow, income statement and transaction reports properly under gtkhtml but not under webkit, except that the 'footer' stylesheet also has some formatting problems with gtkhtml as well. The attached patch file corrects these problems. Specifically: - styles that are missing in the 'footer' stylesheet (compared to 'easy') are added - the function 'gnc-html-engine-supports-css' is used in the 'default', 'easy', 'footer' and 'technicolor' stylesheets to provide styles for either webkit or gtkhtml - the taxtxf.scm report file is simplified to take advantage of these changes
Bug #625697: Prior patch, Changeset 19376, broke reports for non-default stylesheets Patch by Frank Ellenberger
Bug 623801 - gnucash file is not saved

Bug 625976 - Python Bindings Patch for Transaction.GetImbalance(), patch by Mark Jenkins
FIx bug 596124: don't crash if someone adds a split to a capital gains transaction created by the lot scrubber.
Double clicking on the balance column in a register doesn't resize the column because there is a zero width column to the right of it. This may fix all or part of bugs 563588, 345711, or 506261.
Bug 612337: Add file save to hierarchy druid when the new file druid completes. Patch by "Bob": I thought I would give this a try and come up with a patch to use the file save as function after the after pressing the apply button. Not sure if it is the best way but seems to work on my linux box and on windows without any errors. I have changed the text in the account.glade file to reflect the firing of the save as and also increased the size of the window to give more room for the 'Category Description' to stop scroll bars.
Bug #624623 - Patch: US Tax Report for webkit and gtkhtml
Bug #556713 - inconsistency in report options Use "Reset defaults" instead of "Use defaults, as suggested by Derek.
Bug #556713 - inconsistency in report options Final additions to this bug.
Bug #621016: Print multiple checks at the same time The print checks operation should be able to print more than one check with a single invocation of the "Print Check..." command. The attached patch does this. If the active register is an account register, then the selected transaction is printed (as before). If it is a search results register where all the splits are from the same account, then it prints a check for each of them. Anything else is an error. Patch by Mike Alexander.
Bug #118391: This patch add isocodes support for Windows build. It automatically download, build, install and packaging the isocodes. Currently, the patch will not make Windows build show the locale long currencies name. But it make the isocode available on Windows. Since the long currencies names are already shown on Linux, I think it should not far to make it happen on Windows too, especially the isocode will be available after this patch.
Bug #620763: Fix permuted "Retained Earnings/Losses" in balsheet-eg.eguile.scm
Bug #620763: remove trailing whitespace from balsheet-eg*
Bug #556713: Fix inconsistency in report options The attached patch should fix the remaining outstanding issues of this bug. Applying this patch now would break string freeze.

Bug #619709 - Upgrade Inno Setup to 5.3.x to use utf-8 in .iss script, patch by Tao Wang
Bug #621602 - Upgrade svn on Windows building environment to 1.6.x, patch by Tao Wang.
Bug #378638 - log replay creates two transactions from a single logged transaction
Bug #615347 - Use enforced, consistent data file extension across supported platforms The choice has fallen on ".gnucash". This extension will be added to all filenames that don't have it already when a user chooses "Save As...". Obviously this is only done for files, not for database storage. The backup files will from now on also end in ".gnucash" instead of the previous ".xac". The code that removes old backup files scans for both extensions to ensure that backup files still available with the ".xac" extension are rotated as well.

I18n improvements in invoice reports: Mark last untranslated strings for translation.
Update de.po after invoice review. There were some equivocalnesses between invoice and balance. After using the strings from tax-invoice in the other invoice forms, the de translations should switch back. Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger.
Improve i18n comments: Comment for gnucash.pot must appear immediately before the marked string.
Improve name consistency. Use "GnuCash" (or more precisely PACKAGE_NAME), wherever the name is visible to the user, and "gnucash" (or more precisely PACKAGE) everywhere else.

Bug 616612 - Remember last location of File Open/Save dialog, partial solution This commit remembers the last directory for * Open * Save * Export chart of accounts * Save Report This only stores file based paths, not db based paths.
Modify the osx_accel_map to reflect the different keybinding in Gtk+-2.20
Fix crash when run with the --add-price-quotes parameter.
Follow-up of r19358: Need to use AB_SetupDialog_new instead as replacement of the previous wizard.
Adapt to newest (unstable) aqbanking: No external application needed anymore for user setup.

Add averaging option (but currently deactivated) for monthly or weekly average in account piechart. Will be activated once we're out of string freeze in order not to have untranslated strings show up for the user.
Explain proximo concept.
Other code/build changes:
Get library from correct directory - fixes "make check"
Dummy commit to test mailing list hooks.
Fix typo in comment.
Convert glade files to gtk+2.10, last batch.
Fix stupid compiler error. (Should compile first, then commit, not the other way round.)

Fix compiler warning
Fix compiler error reported by Herbert Thoma
Replace a gkt+2.18 function to be gtk+2.10 compatible

Remove now empty business directories
Fix r19364: Remove last reference to removed business-backend-sql.
Merge the sql parsers of the business objects into the main sql module. Also, completely remove the business-core/sql module because it is no longer needed. The tests of this module have been moved into backend/dbi because they depend on sql+dbi, but not more than that.
Completely remove the business-core/xml module as it is no longer needed.
Remove the separate business xml backend from cutecash and python as well.
Merge the xml parsers of business objects into the main xml backend module.
Remove separate object initialization in engine/gncBusiness.c and move this into one common initialization function cashobjects_register in .
Convert glade files to Gtk+2.10: remaining business dialogs
Convert glade files to Gtk+2.10: business dialogs except customer/vendor/invoice
Convert glade files to Gtk+2.10, next batch: gnome-utils

Python bindings, gncnumeric and accounttype constants, patch by Mark Jenkins.
Nice example python scripts, patch by Mark Jenkins.
Future default file extension is .gnucash, so - rename example files to this extension - replace references to the old extension where appropriate
Fix erroneous quotation in scheme string of last commit
Improve the initial report loading code so that it loads only files ending with .scm. This should avoid accidentally loading .scm~ backup files etc. The code matches the filenames against the regexp "\.scm$", so the previous hand- written comparison against "." and ".." is no longer necessary as those don't match that regexp anyway.
Fix build failure introduced by r19285 on systems with guile 1.6.
Properly check for SWIG version 2.0.0 and later.
Revert part of R19263. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH must be set on MacOSX (running under X11, not Quartz) in order for GnuCash to find its dynamic libraries.
Change gnucash-bin to gnucash on OS X (the other platforms had been changed already)
After learning the scheme case syntax, implement it correctly this time. Fixes r19281, r19280, r19253, r19252.
Add missing UTF-8 BOM
Some more disabling of the new deactivated option in the piechart. Forgotten in r19280, sorry for that.
Disable new option of piechart report even more.
Check properly for svn availability
Re-indentation of source code. This re-indentation was done using astyle-1.24 using the following options: astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper --pad-header --suffix=none
Document what to do if svn isn't found. This only applies to the scripts used to setup an automated build system
Cleanup use of constants
Finish direct binary execution on Windows and linux and cleanup bin Makefile/targets - Windows * binary name becomes GnuCash.exe * gnucash.cmd is renamed to gnucash-launcer.cmd (consistent with OS X). This file is only needed to run GnuCash straight from the source installation. It is not used (or distributed) with the Windows Installer version. * gnucash-valgrind, gnucash-gdb and the override extra's have been removed as they are meant for a UNIX like environment - Linux/others * binary name becomes gnucash * the gnucash launch script has been removed together with gnucash-gdb. They no longer add value on linux. * gnucash-valgrind has been retained because it contains useful presets - OS X (Quartz) * binary name remains gnucash-bin for now (requires synchronous changes in the externally hosted OS X build system) * gnucash launcher script has been renamed to gnucash-launcher. This file is only needed to run GnuCash straight from the source installation. It is not used (or distributed) in the OS X bundle version. * gnucash-gdb and gnucash-valgrind remain and can be used for debugging the source installation.
Undo debug modification introduced in r19100. It bypassed the Abort and was never intended to be committed.
Use enum value QOF_LOG_MESSAGE (newly defined in r19257) instead of the generic G_LOG_LEVEL_MESSAGE
Add missing enum value
Fix report error in piechart due to the temporary deactivation of the new option.
Make business sql backend initialization functions accessible when statically linking. Same change as what r18841 added in business-core/xml.
Delegate transaction log enabling/disabling to the backends. Let only the xml backend enable logging.
Add getter function for mapping a {year,month,day} symbol to the conversion function of a date to a fractional number.
Fix a comment to reflect the actual code.
Remove command line parameter that is ignored anyway.
Fix typo in commodity.glade which broke creating new commodities
Improve handling of unknown access methods (protocols). Avoid mangling of such urls, so that a clean error message can be displayed.
Disable enviroment_overide() when MAC_INTEGRATION is defined: It doesn't play well with App Bundles.
Don't look for dbi drivers if dbi_initialize failed.
Fix dbi drivers not found when --with-dbi-dbd-dir is set at configure time.
Default key accelerator map for OSX, using Command instead of Control

New in GnuCash 2.3.14 Unstable (Sep 21, 2010)

Bugs fixed:
Bug #618954: Add a column "Due" to the invoice search results list. Patch by "scar".
Bug #618951: Add ability to search for invoices by due date Patch by "scar".
Bug #118391: Resize currency dropdown list Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger. Now in the tested (european) languages one can understand the meaning without horizontal scrolling - search for MXV or UYI to see long examples. I used glade 3, which created the file in a somewhat different way - let me know, if that is a problem.
Bug #619984: Remove "Gnumatic, Inc." from po/Makevars Gnumatic Inc. does since a few years no longer exist. So it makes no sense, to have it as copyright holder of new GnuCash translations. I got Linas OK for this change on IRC: http://lists.gnucash.org/logs/2010/05/2010-05-28.html#T13:37:53 - #T16:12:23
Bug #617797: Set eol-style to CRLF for win32 files.

Updated translations or translation-related changes:
fix Latvian account trees, patch by Bill Nottingham.

Updated Dutch translation by Mark Haanen, copied from the Translation Project.
Updated Japanese translation by Yasuaki Taniguchi, copied from the Translation Project.
Other user-visible changes
Fix r19227, r19228: Don't make the "Due Date" the primary search; fix erroneous parameters when inserting into list.
Other code/build changes:
File convert commodity.glade in glade3-3.6.7 to ensure our gtk-2.10 requirement is sufficient.
Set eol-style for win32-bin.txt to CRLF because this file should view correctly on win32 systems
Set all shell scripts to svn:eol-style LF because they should have the same line endings.
Fix script that builds the release tags. Awk works differently on windows than on linux apparently.

New in GnuCash 2.3.13 Unstable (Sep 21, 2010)

Bugs fixed:
Change from ige-mac-menu to GtkOSXApplication for OSX integration. Fixes #600590.
Bug #618646 - Should be able to run gnucash-bin.exe directly, rather than gnucash.cmd Patch by Tao Wang.
Fix #616100 - Incorrect character set used in MySQL backend Use "SET NAMES 'utf8'" so that mysql uses utf8 for communication and all char sets.
Bug #618647 - Compile .ico as resource into gnucash-bin.exe, patch by Tao Wang
Bug #618505 - Separate shell functions files from variables and steps files, patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi
Bug #618341: Additional paths to reset.sh Patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi.
Bug #615168: Remove instances of (use-modules (ice-9 slib)) except report-system.scm There are no more instances of (require ...), so Guile's slib support is no longer needed. Patch by Andy Wingo, but except report-system.scm because saved reports still use the hash-for-each -- so we will need to continue to support the symbol.
Bug #615168: Remove spurious (require 'hash-table) instances except report-system.scm Patch by Andy Wingo, but except report-system.scm. There is nothing that the slib hash-table module provides that was used in any of these files; they all used Guile's stock hash tables.
Fix #616554 - New stylesheets based on Fancy template cause BIN to crash An interface issue between libjpeg and webkit (incorrect type used in libjpeg) causes the crash. This patch replaces the normal libjpeg with a patched one.
Bug #352058 - Invoice entries should default to opening date of invoice.
Bug #615510 - Gnucash crashes when creating new customer job
Bug #357696 - Billable items appear in more than one invoice
Bug #118391: Implement translation long currency names Adjust in iso-4217-currencies.scm fullnames to conform with iso-codes-3.3 Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger.
Bug #616524: Fix missing re-generating of gnucash_core.c code. The .c file gets outdated easily because the makefile doesn't contain enough of its dependencies. I would need to be regenerated each time any of the included files was changed, but currently it doesn't contain these dependencies in the makefile rules. Having it depending on config.h should at least trigger the generation at each version number change (so that the tarball contains an up-to-date version.)
Bug #612212: Provide a method to set the default budget Patch by Jeff Kletsky. (Cstim: Accepted even though string freeze is in effect because it was submitted before the freeze. Also, the string additions are very minor.) Summary of Changes: * Initial story related to providing default budget control * Add a "Budgeting" tab to the book-level preferences dialog * Add a "Default Budget" selector to the "Budgeting" tab * Modify gnc_budget_get_default() to * Respect the new KVP, if present * Fall back to 2.2.x behavior, if not present * Modify gnc:make-budget-option * Reformatted for readability with additional comments * Default is now "#f" so that selected value is always saved Otherwise, if selection happened to be the current default and the default was later changed, the report would change * getter, setter, and generate-restore-form all now consistent * setter now always takes a budget object * generate-restore-form does not rely on "hack" in setter that previously allowed either a budget object or a GUID string This is a different fix for 603215 -- see Known Issues * Provide translation support for "Trading Acccounts" (and "Budgeting") * Refactor #define names for consistency and extensibility * KVP_OPTION_PATH for consistency with Guile usage * OPTION_SECTION_blahblah * OPTION_NAME_blahblah * Modify qofbookslots.h to be "SWIG-aware" * Pick up qofbookslots.h in make-gnucash-potfiles.in and po/POTFILES.in Known Issues: * There is no selection (yet) for "Use default budget" so changing the default budget and reloading a report does not change the budget used * setter is no more robust to "bad" values than in previous code * Budget reports created with 2.3.x after r18528 (between 2.3.8 and 2.3.9) may not load or re-render as they relied on the setter taking either a budget object or a GUID as a string This should not impact any 2.2.x users as nothing was saved under 2.2.x related to the default budget. This can be resolved through removing the option restore code in ~/.gnucash/saved-reports-2.4 and, if affected reports were open, in ~/.gnucash/books/ * Budget reports prior to r18528 did not save budget selection (603215)
Bug #586805: Fix errorneous abs() in csv import Changes abs function to fabs in gnc-csv-model.c, to allow csv imports of values less than $1.00. Patch by James Raehl.
Bug #617660: Improving iso-4217-currencies Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger 1. improve the header of fieldnames with annotations 2. sort by ISO code, because a. easier for non english people b. most tables in the internet have this sort order. So maintainance becomes easier. 3. inserting a Column local_symbol, because some people like to use it, e.g. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492417#c3 But probably there is a better way to get this informations. 4. Review List: a. adding: CDF, GHS, ... b. outdated: AON->AOR->AOA, GWP->XOF, ... c. Typos like "fening". d. Alway use singular instead of a mixture. 5. add comments: a. outdated currencies prepared as in the header shown. b. for abbreviations. Background is the thread starting with https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2009-October/026558.html
Bug #617435 - webkitgtk+ cross build script, created by Yasuaki Taniguchi
Bug #617558 - Header in register doesn't clear properly in double-line mode when switching from transaction to split, patch by Alex Aycinena
Bug #617072 - Update create_cross_mingw.sh, patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi
Bug #554936 - 'configure.in' files should be renamed 'configure.ac'
Bug #616696 - Development version warning string should not include hardcode version. Third revision. - Stable Version changed into Stable Series (easier to track automatically) - Modified motd code to deal with replacement strings - Changed DEVELOPMENT release tip to separate the Stable Series number from the translatable string.
Bug #615168: Don't define hash-fold for guile 2.x Patch by Andy Wingo. * src/scm/main.scm (hash-fold): Only do the conditional hash-fold dance if we don't have guile 2.0. (Definitions in expression context are actually invalid Scheme, but older Guiles are more permissive.)
Bug #615168: scm_c_string_length is the proper spelling now Patch by Andy Wingo. Fix up a couple uses of scm_i_string_length, and add a back-compat shim for earlier versions.
Bug #616696 - Development version warning string should not include hardcode version. * Improve on the previous fix: really display stable version in tooltip, not current version. * Also revert change of "What's new in GnuCash 2.0" because that's the title actually found in the help manual.
Bug #615317 - Windows installer requires Qt libraries
Bug #616696 - Development version warning string should not include hardcode version.
Fix #616606 - Add line indicating utf8 encoding so that non-latin chars show correctly.
Bug #615168: Make sure that printf is available whereever it is used So, the right thing is for each file to be in its own module. Barring that it's tough to see what the environment is in a given module. So to be safe, everywhere there's a printf, make sure the (gnucash printf) module is duly included. Patch by Andy Wingo. Conflicts: src/business/business-reports/easy-invoice.scm src/business/business-reports/fancy-invoice.scm src/business/business-reports/invoice.scm src/business/business-reports/job-report.scm src/report/standard-reports/budget-income-statement.scm src/report/standard-reports/income-statement.scm src/report/standard-reports/trial-balance.scm
Bug #615168: Fix a number of scheme syntax errors This kind of error is detected "eagerly" in Guile 2.0. Patch by Andy Wingo.
Bug #615168: Fix bogus gnc:safe-strcmp definition Patch by Andy Wingo.
Bug #615168: Fixup one last simple-format bit src/engine/iso-currencies-to-c did the same simple-format dance that is now unnecessary. Patch by Andy Wingo.
Bug #615168: Replace calls to simple-format with calls to format Guile 1.6 and up always provides simple-format, and defines it as a restricted subset of the full format, so there's no harm in using the construct's proper name. Patch by Andy Wingo.
Bug #615168: Pull in printf from slib, change all code to use it. There is a new module, (gnucash printf). Patch by Andy Wingo.
Bug #616093: Notes are not editable in scheduled transaction edit window Patch by James Raehl: The Notes field is not visible or editable. This appears to be a deliberate choice, as can be seen in line 1308 of gnome/dialog-sx-editor.c routine schedXact_editor_create_ledger. I disagree. Since Notes are not copied to the newly-created scheduled transaction, there is no way for the user to copy Notes to the model, nor to modify the Notes. This makes the partial fix in r16652 for bug 500427 kind of pointless. This patch reverses that decision.
Bug #615912: Update gnc_quote_source from FQ 1.11 to 1.17 and enhance user_name Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger. Because many sources were listet as unknown, I tried to sort them in. Because normal users don't know all englisch abbreviations of far continents, I tried to use better understandable descriptions and added country codes. Caveats: 1. The HU methods were not quite clear to me, so I added only one. 2. The Currencies methods seems to fetch lists of currencies, something what we don't need here; correct me, if I am wrong.
Bug #118391: Mark currency names for translation but using the "iso_4217" translation domain. This will make approx. 50% of the currency names show up in translated form. At least more than nothing. Eventually, we most probably must change our long name definitions to match those of iso_4217, and after this we will get 100% translations.
Revert r19051, "Bug #118391: Mark the currency names for translation." We better don't mark the currency names for translation inside gnucash.pot; instead, we should use the "iso_4217" translation domain.
Bug #616615 - Request for larger size icon (96x96, 128x128, 256x256): Properly include smaller icon sizes, remove duplicate size

Reapply Simplified Chinese patches
Repatch Windows installer for Simplified Chinese
Update German translation.
I18n improvements: Remove colons from translatable strings. Use correct capitalization. In most cases, the changed strings already appear somewhere else in the program, so only very few are unfortunately now new strings even though we hoped we could stick to the string freeze.
zh_CN translation for Windows Installer, patch by Tao Wang.

zh_CN translation of gnucash glossary file, patch by Tao Wang
Updated zh_CN translation of accounts, patch by Tao Wang
I18n: Fix erroneous message. This (tooltip) string is blatantly wrong, so we need to fix it regardless of string freeze. Spotted by Mark Haanen.
I18n fix: Mark forgotten strings for translation. These are allowed regardless of string freeze because the strings are already in the program and are untranslated so far. So marking them for translation will only improve the situation but not introduce new strings into the program in general. Spotted by Mark Haanen.
Add src/gnome/gnucash.desktop.in.in to the translation input files.
I18n: Fix typo in user message. This breaks the string freeze, but 1. the typo really hurts one's eyes, and 2. the message is only secondarily important, so I would accept this single string freeze breakage.
Other user-visible changes:
Implement help for OSX
Set default webkit font from system font.
Merge CSS and plain stylesheets, leaving the plain and remove the CSS stylesheet. Plain now has font specifications.
Add font support to all stylesheets
Add "Pay invoice" toolbar button when invoice is open.
When posting an invoice, propose the invoice's opened date as post date.
A search with no search terms set by the user should still honor the original search constraints. For example: if a user does: - Find customer - Click on Customer's invoices - Then explicitly removes the empty search term - Click Find => the user should still see only the invoices for this customer. Previously this scenario would return all bills, invoices AND vouchers in the book. The cause was an attempt to merge two queries with AND while one query had no terms. The code already partially checked for this, but there was still an unhandled case.
Return only bills when searching for bills, return only invoices when searching for invoices and return only vouchers when searching for vouchers
Change default report stylesheet from "Default" to "Default CSS"
Other code/build changes:
Fix warning message of autogen.sh for python-binding. Patch by Tao Wang
Remove AC_PROG_OBJC from configure.ac
printf with %zd is not known in mingw gcc 4.4.0 and prevents gnucash from being built with that compiler. Since this is only a debug message, I chose to replace it with %d which should also do the right thing.
Properly check for the unavailability of windows webkit. The logic was accidentally inverted when #ifndef got replaced with if HAVE(). As a side effect, this fixes a mingw gcc-4.4 compiler warning.
Fix encoding issues introduced in r19204
Fix gnc-module test after patch from bug #618646.
Win32 - Fix installation location of some files, reported by Tao Wang.

Revert r19159, "Fix windows tag build script, by Geert Janssens" I thought I would get access to the build server immediately to perform the cleanup of the old tag file, but apparently the server is unreachable for me for now, so I cannot commit this change today. Maybe later.
Fix windows tag build script, by Geert Janssens
One more revert of r19148, "Bug #615168: Remove instances of (use-modules (ice-9 slib))..." Missed that one in r19154.
Revert r19147, "Bug #615168: Remove spurious (require 'hash-table) instances..." Apparently guile-1.6 still needs all of those.
Partly revert r19148, "Bug #615168: Remove instances of (use-modules (ice-9 slib))..." Apparently guile-1.6 needs this in more places than I thought at r19148.
Add support for upcoming libaqbanking-5 version.
Follow-up to r19099: Remove qof's backend loading because there is no backend anymore. Remove generated file qofla-dir.h. This is actually good progress because it gets rid of yet another compiled-in path, which are a nuisance and need to be replaced by runtime path lookup everywhere, if needed.
Remove qsf related code from windows installer script.
Rewrite assert_one_dir function to not crash on a native build machine
Improve the cross-compilation process. - improve create_cross_mingw.sh's integration in defaults.sh and install.sh - update README file
Remove some additional QSF references
Improve test_for_mingw - change test so that both tested programs must work, not only the exit code of the last one - make it cross-compile compatible
Improve assert_one_dir It now gives a different error message when no directory was found or when multiple directories were found
Remove QSF
Remove forgotten debug statement
Add ./ to sourced files, so that they are found when cross-compiling.
Add (optional) destination file name parameter to wget_unpacked and smart_wget functions. This parameter can be used to override the filename to be used for the downloaded package. If empty, the functions continue to work as before. This new option will be used for cross compilation.
Windows build script improvements - make sure pexports is available before guile is built - test for pexports availability when compiling libdbi (to fix crosscompilation)
Fix some typos
Add .log extension to qof_log filename while creating the temporary file. This will only be visible on Windows. On all other platforms the logfile is successfully renamed to the requested name.
Add missing libmysql.def to tarball
Enable environment file on Windows (only direct install, not via ISS installer)
Write makefile rule to create gnucash-icon.ico. This rule isn't called by default though. It uses image-magick to add several png images of different size and bitdepth together. Current ico has: 16x16,8-bit 22x22,8-bit 24x24,8-bit 32x32,32-bit 48x48,32-bit 64x64,32-bit 96x96,32-bit 128x128,32-bit 256x256,32-bit
Remove redundant test for ENOSYS The error code was checked twice against ENOSYS, once in all situations, and once if ENOSYS is defined. This makes no sense. Since we never had bug reports for compilation errors on ENOSYS undefined, we can assume ENOSYS is always defined.
Replace directory mv's with cp -r when the move potentially crosses filesystem borders. Apparently, Msys' mv command fails to move directories across filesystem borders (like from a directory on the c drive to a mounted samba share). I hit this issue because my tmp dir is on a different filesystem from my base dir.
Enable keychain functionality on OS X after fixing compiler bugs.
Make sure wget downloads are stored with filenames not containing any html garbage (& and = signs as a result of http_get parameters). * Have wget_unpacked return the actual path where the files were unpacked via the _EXTRACT_UDIR env variable. In most cases this is simply the path that was requested, but sometimes, a tarball or zip file adds its own relative path. The _EXTRACT_UDIR variable will take this into account by analysing the contents of the tarball/zip file. These changes will be used in the revived cross-compile script.
Makefile fixes for setup-gnucash-env on OS X

New in GnuCash 2.3.12 (Apr 22, 2010)

Bugs fixed
Fix #588816 - Heading Banner Image does not display or print on invoice reports Along with a new version of webkit which properly handles local image files, a change was needed so that instead of creating an html string and feeding it directly to webkit, it is exported to a temp file which is then loaded as a file:// URI. On Linux, if this is not done, any embedded images do not appear, and there is a console message that local resources can't be loaded. On Windows, the embedded images don't appear, possibly for the same reason, but I'm not sure where the console messages go.
Bug #525821 - new or edited account names should be checked for reserved chars like ":" Addendum: Fix compatibility with older Gtk versions.
Bug #525821 - new or edited account names should be checked for reserved chars like ":" This patch checks if the separator character is used in account names when loading a data file, or when changing the separator character in the preferences. If the separator character is incompatible with some account names, a warning dialog box is popped up explaining the situation. This dialog also lists the violating account names. Additionally, the preferences dialog will show a warning sign as long as the separator clashes with some account names. The tooltip for this sign will also display the violating account names.

Enable the use of gnome-keyring during loading and saving of data. - The database passwords will no longer be stored in history - During save as, the user-entered password will be stored in gnome-keyring - During open, the user-entered password will be stored in gnome-keyring - When a file is opened from history (no file specified at startup or user selects an entry in the File menu's history) the password is fetched from the gnome-keyring. This currently works on linux. On Mac OS X or Windows no passwords are stored and the user is asked for a password when a file is loaded from history. Adding keyring/keychain capability on these systems is tbd.
When printing WebKit based reports respect the Page Setup settings. If webkit_web_frame_print_full exists in the version of WebKit being used then use it with a GtkPrintOperation which has been initialized from the Page Setup data.
Make the calculations more nearly the same as the older balance sheet report Calculate retained earnings or loss from income and expense accounts and label the amount needed to balance the books as the imbalance amount instead of retained earnings or loss.
Update eguile based balance sheet report to work with current GnuCash.
Add the eguile based balance sheet report. This version is directly from the wiki at and won't work in the current version of GnuCash. It is included for reference purposes.
Can't add or update currencies in 2.3.11 Reported by Markus Scheffler on Apr 2 via gnucash-user ML
Open/Save As...: configure enter/double click to run the default action.
Other code/build changes
Add functions to compare 2 business objects for equality, and use them in 'make check' tests. Adds functions to compare 2 business objects for equality. The 'make check' tests can then use these functions to store and reload objects and compare them for equality. This allows the sql backend to be tested.
Check for webkit_web_view_load_uri() function, and if not available, fall back to webkit_web_view_load_html_string(). This change also changes the config #define name from HAVE_WEBKIT_PRINT_FULL to HAVE_WEBKIT_WEB_FRAME_PRINT_FULL to be a bit more descriptive.
Change default from --disable-dbi to --enable-dbi. This is needed so that 'make distcheck' will work with the business sql backend tests.
Disable transaction log in backend test so that there aren't log files left lying around to make 'distcheck' fail.
Add .h files to EXTRA_DIST to ensure they are put into tarball
Fix test dependencies
Ensure necessary .h files are included in EXTRA_DIST
Remove reference to GNC_TEST_SRFI_LOAD_CMD since we no longer support local srfi's.
Assume webkit functions exist on win32
Small corrections in the comments of gnc-commodity.h 1 typo 1 moved file 1 complement Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger
When updating book counters for business objects (in book slots), ensure they're saved.
Allow QTDIR to be defined either in pure windows format (c:\xyz\def) or unix format (/c/xyz/def) without ISS bailing out. Previously, only unix format worked.
pexports is only available if MSVC is installed. Encapsulate it in a conditional.
Move one more MSVC-only line inside the MSVC test
Fix gnucash-gdb.in to use gdb from the right place
Change the iso-4217 generator script to accept the srcdir as cmdline argument instead of an env variable.
Insert missing "format:" - otherwise it didn't build for me. Additional simplifying git expressions. Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger
Remove unneeded path conversion on Windows
Add note about required Qt for dist.sh + some typo fixes
Fix crash when trying to unset a parameter via the environment config file
Fix Windows build after introduction of the environment config file.
Revive gnucash-setup-env on OSX/Quartz. This fixes the OSX issues caused by the introduction of the environment config file.
Fix MacOSX keyring test in configure to work and make gnc-keyring.c compile if it does.
Initialize new_val in environment_override to avoid a compiler warning.
G_PATH_SEPARATOR is not used in the environment config file. Remove it from the make script.
Make sure only the quartz build uses environment-osx.in
Remove local srfi's and require guile 1.6.7 or better. All now supported versions of guile come bundled with these srfi's, so there's no need to keep our own copies.
Have the gnucash binary setup its required environment by itself - New "environment" config file that holds the environment modifications to make - Added a parser for this file that does the actual modification of the environment (in gnucash-bin.c) - Eliminate the old gnucash-setup-env script
Configure: fix password store test
Upgrade win32 version of webkit from 1.1.5 to 1.1.90. This version contains changes required to fix #588816 (Heading Banner Image does not display or print on invoice reports). Note that this bug won't be fixed until some gnucash changes are checked in as well.
Configure: group platform dependent tests
Fix missing printf format string
Fix indentation with astyle The indentation was mixed up due to the unusual IF_TYPE macro, now removed.
Replace IF_TYPE macro with a validation function The macro is quite ugly: it's not a complete if condition (missing closing bracket) which makes the code using it difficult to read and error-prone. Even astyle got confused by it. The replacement code is slightly longer (two lines per replaced IF_TYPE invocation) but clean and readable.
Remove redundant page tab setting code. The tab is set again some time later in the gnc_main_window_connect function.
Add svn:ignore properties
Code cleanup in binreloc: Remove unused init_lib function. Add possibility to set the looked-up exe path from somewhere else. Remove symbol mangling because r18940 already added the gnc_* prefix, hence the symbol names are unique to gnucash anyway.
Re-indentation of source code (sql parts). This also strips trailing whitespaces from lines where they existed. This re-indentation was done using astyle-1.24 using the following options: astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper --pad-header --suffix

Rename the type GUID into GncGUID because on Windows, the system headers have a type GUID which clashes with ours. Note that only the type was renamed, but not any enums or function names. Hence, the scheme wrappers should be unchanged completely (hopefully). Discussed at http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2010-March/027679.html
Add business backend sql test infrastructure. At this point, the test creates a customer, saves it to an sqlite3 db, loads it and compares the original and the loaded customer. Will be expanded to test other business objects.
Add deep comparison routines for test purposes 1) Add routine gncCustomerEqual() which will do a deep comparison between two customers 2) Add routine gncAddressEqual() which will do a deep comparison between two addresses 3) Add more GncAddress gobject parameters for the remaining data items
Changes in dbi test infrastructure 1) Now that the various objects .c files can compare objects in different books, remove the duplicate copies. 2) Create a .la so that the business sql test code can use some common test infrastructure.
Extend xaccXXXXXEqual() routines so that they can compare objects in different books to see if they have the same contents.
Set some more line-ending style properties.
Set the desired line-ending style to the correct value on the server side. Without the svn:eol-style property, SVN checkouts on windows tend to appear with varying line endings. The only possible way around this in svn is to set the expected line endings as svn properties.
Update dbi tests - more object types are now saved and loaded
Add new CPP macros which make it cleaner to have conditional compilation based on compiler/system and options selected during config Examples: #if COMPILER(MSVC) #if COMPILER(GCC) #if ENABLE(NLS) #if HAVE(PUTENV) This platform.h file includes config.h, so that doesn't need to be included any more. PLATFORM(X) is based on the definition of GNC_PLATFORM_X COMPILER(X) is based on the definition of GNC_COMPILER_X. At this point, only COMPILER(GCC), COMPILER(MSVC), COMPILER(MSVC7) and COMPILER(MINGW) are determined. HAVE(X) is based on HAVE_X from config.h ENABLE(X) is based on ENABLE_X from config.h USE(X) is based on GNC_USE_X from config.h Having these determinations at a central point makes it easier to add new platforms and easier to conditionally compile based on them.
Create splits->accounts sql index and tx->post_date index when creating new databases
Cleanup cruft and an error from r18945
Whitespace cleanup
Forgot to delete a diagnostic in 18941
Fixup binreloc, which wasn't working correctly on OSX Most changes are to rename the functions named gbr_* to gnc_gbr_*, so that our modified binreloc (to provide mac bundle support) doesn't collide with binreloc implementations in other libraries. (The instant case was in libenchant.) Also moved the IGE_MAC_CFLAGS and IGE_MAC_LIBS lines from engine/Makefile.am to core-utils/Makefile.am. This was missed when binreloc was moved. And last, there was a minor error in the original OSX binreloc patch: At line 68, #elif MAC_INTEGRATION should be (and now is) #elif defined MAC_INTEGRATION.
Add getter/setter for transaction posted-date as a GDate. In addition to the known timespec, the date is also stored as a kvp_value of TYPE_GDATE so that we know afterwards this date has really been set as a date.
Add a GDate kvp_value type including conversions from and to all sorts of thingys. Also, removed the default: switch clauses when handling a kvp_value so that the compiler will already complain about unhandled enum values.
Fix Windows installer doc to have perl >= 5.8 instead of 5.10
Cutecash Some of the GnuCash developers have decided to rewrite the UI for the cross-platform Qt toolkit from TrollTech. The goal is a simpler UI which is more powerful and easier to develop. This project has gotten the name "Cutecash". It uses the same back-ends and engine as gnucash. Only the UI is different. The source for the Cutecash UI is in the same tree (and therefore, the tarballs) as GnuCash, but at this point, no MAC or Win32 builds are being produced.
Cutecash: Add install and packaging rules. Running "make package" will produce a binary package. Running "make package_source" will produce a source package.
Win/MSVC compatibility: Replace g_* file operations by the direct calls into the MSVC runtime. This tries to avoid a collision between glib's C runtime vs. the one that is used by MSVC (and hence also Qt) by using file access only through MSVC's one.
Win32: Add mingw cutecash build to the install.sh script, enabled by WITH_CUTECASH=yes.
Cutecash: Slightly decrease debug output verbosity.
MSVC: Add creation of MSVC import library of libdbi.
Fix CMake for building the dbi backend.
Cutecash: Fix missing #ifdefs for dbi calls.
Cutecash: Compile & link SQL backend as well (but there is no GUI for this yet)
Cutecash: Fix memory leak of missing cleanup of RecentFileMenu object.
MSVC compatibility: MSVC must not use g_fopen because it uses a different C runtime than the rest of (MSVC) file-handling functions.
MSVC compatibility: Always initialize all members of the QofObject struct.
Cutecash: Add more event handler to the account windows so that they will be deleted upon book closing.
Cutecash: Code cleanup. Avoid crashes when undoing adding of new transactions by not deleting the tmp transaction object. Also, correctly set the document state to "clean" after saving.
Cutecash: Implement account selection in new transaction correctly.
Cutecash: Implement entering new transactions in the register. Only the account selection is still missing.
Cutecash: Add empty line for entering a new transaction in the register. Doesn't yet store data, though.
Cutecash: Introduce separate base class GncInstance for QofInstance methods. This is the base class for Account, Book, Commodity, Split, Transaction.
Cutecash: Add deletion of rows/transactions (through "Cut"). With Undo. Hee Hee.
Cutecash: Fix file loading, saving, and save-as. Works fine now. Also, use the new GDate setter/getter for the transaction time.
Cutecash: Add separate Cmd class for setting the amount/value. Setting the amount in the register now works.
Enable editing of the "other" account of a transaction. Register Account and our other types in the QMetaType system so that QVariant can hold it and pass it between the model, view, and delegate. Implement AccountSelectionDelegate that presents a QComboBox editor widget for account selection.

New in GnuCash 2.3.11 (Apr 22, 2010)

Bugs fixed
Partial fix for #611014 - CSV import crashes Bug #611014 mentions a problem where after setting the columns, clicking OK and selecting a target account, the Date column is lost. This is because of a difference in behaviour on windows and linux. The code attaches to the "edited" signal of the renderer. On linux, this signal is emitted when a new combo box item is selected. On windows, the combo box needs to be selected and focus lost before the signal is emitted. This is changed to the "changed" signal of the renderer which acts as expected on both platforms.
Bug #140400 - Crash when deleting an account that is still in use by the business features Add a dialog which contains a list of objects referring to the account and an explanation that these need to be deleted or have the account reference modified. Note: I'm no UI designer. This is functional, but if anybody wants to pretty it up, go ahead.
Bug #536108 - After cancelling "save as", user is not prompted 2nd time
Bug #507351 Terms not defined prior to use This commit changes the text in the accounts druid to explain what a placeholder account is, together with some additional improvements in the wording of that page. Since this increases the amount of text, the width of the label has been modified as well.
Fix Bug 590570 - When deleting more than one report in sequence the program crashes Delete the custom report backup file before renaming the current custom report file.
Fix Bug 611346 - Crash in Saved Reports dialog if you select Delete button with no report selected Test for no report selected before trying to use the selected report guid.
Bug #364358 - Import dialog unreadable with dark colored gtk theme (with solution)
Bug #525821 new or edited account names should be checked for reserved chars like ":"
Bug #610675 Register Tabs Do Not Display Since Nightly Build r18685 Apply Bob's patch after fixing the whitespace. This patch may cause issues on Windows (a previous version of the patch did). If the next Windows nightly build exhibits the missing register tab names again, it will have to be reverted again and improved upon.

Cristian's patch didn't apply cleanly to the current trunk. I have made the necessary changes to make it apply (and hopefully do what Cristian intended).
Bug #611470 Add Japanese concepts guide into GnuCash installer, patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi
Bug 605802: Can't input Japanese characters at an account register window on windows with SCIM, IIIMF and XIM Latest patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi to fix two problems 1) Can't use account separator char when entering account name in a split, and 2) Can't use + and - to go forward/backward a week.
Fix bug 591177: Printer font is too small to read with webkit as html renderer. From comment 23: "The PDF in comment 2 is about 8 times smaller than it should be. One possible cause of this bug is if gtk_print_operation_set_unit (op, GTK_UNIT_POINTS) is not called. gtkprint defaults to GTK_UNIT_PIXEL - a useless unit to be using with printers. On Linux GTK_UNIT_PIXEL units are 1 unit = 1/72 inch (the same as GTK_UNIT_POINTS as well as PostScript and PDF units). On Windows GTK_UNIT_PIXEL units are the GDI device units which for printers is the dpi resolution. So for a 600dpi printer 1 unit is 1/600". If the application was developed on Linux and assumes the default gtkprint units are always 1/72" inch the output on Windows using a 600dpi printer will be 72/600 = 0.12 of the size (or approximately 1/8 of the size)." Solution was to use webkit_web_frame_print_full() which allows us to provide our own GtkPrintOperation object with units set to GTK_UNIT_POINTS. Tested on both Linux and Windows.
Bug #610675: Revert the gnc-main-window parts of r18637 because it makes the tab names disappear under Windows. This disables the enhancement of bug#608329 again, but the disappearing of the tab names is a rather major bug. Note that we either need to fix the enhancement again, or revert the rest of r18637 as well so that the account properties don't show the color chooser without any effects.
Bug #605802: Fix input of Japanese characters in register with SCIM, IIIMF and XIM Patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi. Revised and extended version of r18638. The main functions are as follows: (1) synchronization of preedit string between the register window and sheet->entry, (2) application to pango attributes to preedit string in the register window, (3) include scroll offset patch (id=153514), (4) include preedit string rollback patch (id=153518), (5) fix formula and account cells input problem which Christian pointed out, (6) surpress quick-fill when preedit string exists, (7) fix Windows IME problem. (8) Fix quick-fill problem.
Redo of the dot-gnucash fix (so that GNC_DOT_DIR actually works) fixing bug 610707, adding Doxygen comments for all functions in gnc-filepath-utils, and adding testing for xaccResolveURI and more tests for xaccResolveFilePath.
Revert r18713 (reopen 605802 "Input of Japanese characters". This commit had 2 problems: 1) when entering an account name, the account separator would no longer accept at the current level of the account tree and move to the next level 2) + and - in a date field would not change the field by 1 week.
Bug #610348: Add compiling our own binary of libbonoboui because the ftp.gnome.org binary still depends on the obsolete libxml2.dll. However, we still download the erroneous binary and unpack it into $GNOME_DIR because libgnomeui depends on libbonoboui which in turn depends on libgnome. Hence, libbonoboui cannot be compiled before libgnome-dev is unpacked, but libgnomeui won't report to be installed correctly before libbonoboui is available as well. Theoretically, we would have to split the inst_gnome step so that it first unpacks libgnome et al., then we run the inst_libbonoboui step, then we run the second part of inst_gnome which would be something like inst_gnomeui. I'm lazy, so I silently overwrite the libbonoboui DLL with our hand-compiled version and that's it.
Bug #608032 - MySQL timeout and no attempt reconnect, second version This version builds on Phil's implementation of the dbi error callback functions to test for a timeout and to do the reconnect. The same error handling is equally implemented for postgres and sqlite. Unlike MySQL these two database types don't actually generate timeouts, but the functionality can be used later on for other error types as well.
Bug #610051 - Crash when using GktHtml whenever a report is opened
Bug #610348 missing dependencies in windows build Update gnome-vfs to 2.24.1 Note that this means Windows 2000 is no longer supported.

Bug #609044: Improve UI strings for tax report options Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger: As we currently have a nice US income and a partial german VAT tax report, I feel uncomfortable with the change of r18413, which renamed Edit->Tax options to Income Tax options. So here is another approach, to clarify the tax report and business tax menu points.
Bug #609043: Improve (mostly german) translation of txf Patch by Frank H. Ellenberger: This patch is a first extract of so an approach, which I have here, which will probably lead to a german income tax declaration ESt-A1. But this extract is more general and based on r18413 changes. Changes: 1. Header Comments: adding Contributors 2. Most strings in de_DE translated to german.
Bug #608032: Handle MySQL connection timeouts with reconnect Patch by Tom van Braeckel: For the full discussion, see the mailing list: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2010-February/027323.html Rationale: When we try to open a database transaction, and the database reports that the "server has gone away", we try to reconnect before failing hard.
Bug #609005: Add recipient name on invoices Patch by Mike E: Having set up a client/customer including the name of a recipient when I print an invoice the recipients name ("Account Dept" say) is not printed in the invoice. I think this is a bug rather than a feature. I have attached a patch to fix. It still prints the company name above the recipient name however. I could submit an additional patch to provide an invoice option to toggle printing of the company name if users/developers feel they want this option, as I do.
Bug #609603: Windows packing/win32/install.sh PATH fix Patch by Yasuaki Taniguchi: When I run /c/soft/gnucash/inst/bin/gnucash or gnucash.cmd after I finish building win32 binary, DLL missing dialog boxes pop up. Missing DLLs are - libgcrypto.dll, - libPQ.dll, - mysql.dll, and - ssleay32.dll. This patch add search path to them to fix this problem.

Implement the object reference infrastructure routines to allow a list of business objects referring to a specific other object (e.g. an account) to be determined. This will help fix bug 140400 because the account delete code can now determine a list of business (or other) objects which have references to that account, and prevent the account from being deleted while references still exist.
Add some new gobject-related infrastructure so that when deleting an object, it can be determined if there are other objects with references to that object (bug 140400). Some routines are normal routines, and some routines use the gobject structure to allow different implementations by different object types. Per-instance routine: gboolean qof_instance_refers_to_object(QofInstance* A, QofInstance* B) - returns TRUE/FALSE whether object A contains a reference to object B. Normal routine: GList* qof_instance_get_referring_object_list_from_collection(QofCollection* c, QofInstance* B) - Calls qof_instance_refers_to_object() for each object in the collection, and returns a list of the objects which contain a reference to B. Per-instance routine: GList* qof_instance_get_typed_referring_object_list(QofInstance* A, QofInstance* B) - returns a list of all objects of the same type as A which contain a reference to B. Being per-instance allows an object to use knowledge to avoid scanning cases where there are no references (e.g. billterms do not contain references to splits), or a scan is not needed (references from splits to an account can be determined using xaccAccountGetSplitList()). This routine can do a scan by calling qof_instnace_get_referring_object_list_from_collection(). Normal routine: qof_instance_get_referring_object_list(QofInstance* A) - For all collections in the book, gets an instance and calls its qof_instance_get_typed_referring_object_list() routine, concatenating all of the returned lists. This is the routine that external code can call to get a list of all objects with references to an object A. The list must be freed by the caller but the contents must not. Per-instance routine: gchar* qof_instance_get_display_name(QofInstance* A) - returns a string which can identify object A to the user. This could be used to display a list of the objects returned by qof_instance_get_referring_object_list() ("Invoice 0004 for customer C") so that the user can modify those objects to remove the references. Note that this is going to require internationalization, which has not been implemented yet. If not overridden by the object class, the default string is "Object " e.g. "Object gncCustomer 0x12345678".
Add event registration and handling from the qof_event_handlers. This way, the split view is updated correctly even on undo/redo.
Revert r18869, "Move gnc-ui-util.[hc] and gnc-euro.[hc] from app-utils to engine" Those files indeed belong better into app-utils; the app-utils defines several not-yet-GUI parts of gnucash, like many conversions from and to strings (more than those in these two files), so these files are well suited in here.
MSVC compatiblity: Fix include files in MSVC. Replace QSTRCMP by g_strcmp0 on MSVC.
Improve non-gnome UI compatiblity: app-utils can compile without gtk as well.
Add src/calculation and src/app-utils to cmake build system. app-utils is needed for the conversion from and to string for gnc_numeric, date, and other values.
Fix failing core-utils tests I simply removed the obsolete test cases. More work is still needed to add new valid tests.
Remove some unused variables.
Win32/MSVC compatiblity - Replace trunc() by floor() - Provide a round() workaround implementation for MSVC - Use g_strcasecmp instead of the libc one - Add include for libc replacements
Some more const-correctness in engine functions.
Update POTFILES.in for the moved dialog-userpass.c and the newely added gnc-jalali.c
Move gnc-ui-util.[hc] and gnc-euro.[hc] from app-utils to engine because they don't depend on gtk but are important additions for the engine types. In particular, the formatting of a gnc_numeric is defined there.
Fix circular dependency between gnome and gnome-utils introduced in r18842
MSVC compatiblity: snprintf is required to have a prefixing underscore. Also, more symbols of libguile/gc.h need explicit declspec on MSVC.
Add variant of gnc_engine_init which is suitable for statically the linked-in library.
Only use long long format specifiers if available - avoids error message when compiler thinks they're not available.
Fix parent/child relationships in billterms in case the parent hasn't been loaded yet. Remove child column from billterm table because it duplicates info in the parent column and just complicates loading objects.
Fix parent/child links for tax tables. If a tax table's parent table has not been loaded yet, remember the relationship, and after all tables have been loaded, fix up the rest of the parent/child links.
Handle NULL string pointer as a NULL guid
Add a mechanism so that the business sql backend module can provide the main sql backend with the order in which objects should be loaded. This will allow billterms and taxtables to be loaded before objects which contain references to those objects.
MSVC compatiblity: Replace QOF_BOOK_LOOKUP_ENTITY macro by a RETURN_ENTITY macro and add inline functions for lookup. MSVC doesn't accept the syntax with an inlined block, x = ({ foo; bar; value;}). Hence, this is being replaced by actual function definitions, and the body of those functions is defined by the new macro.
Delete unused variables.
Use a normalized uri format internally to refer to data stores. Data stores for GC can be a file (xml or sqlite3) or a database one some server (mysql or postgres). Wherever it makes sense internally, data stores will be referred to via a normalized uri: protocol://user:password@host:port/path Depending on the context and story type some of these parts are optional or unused. To achieve this, a new utility interface has been setup: gnc_uri__ that can be used to manipulate the uris or convert from non-normalized formats to normalized and back. For example, when the user selects a file in the Open or Save As dialog, gnc_uri_get_normalized_uri will convert the file into a normalized uri. Or when the actual filename is needed this can be extracted with gnc_uri_get_path. You can also test if a uri defines a file or something else with gnc_uri_is_file_uri. For the complete documentation, see src/core-utils/gnc-uri-uitls.h This commit installs gnc-uri-utils and modifies the source where it makes sense to use its convenience functions. This concerns all functions that had to deal with file access in some way or another, the history module and the functions that generate the history menu list and the window titles. Note that gnc-uri-utils replaces xaccResolveFilePath and xaccResolveUrl in all cases. xaccResolveUrl has been removed, because gnc-uri-utils fully replaces its functionality. xaccResolveFilePath is used internally in gnc-uri-utils to ensure an absolute path is always returned (in case of a file uri, not for db uris). But it has been renamed to gnc_resolve_file_path to be more consistent with the other functions. Lastly, this commit also adds a first implementation to work with a keyring to store and retrieve passwords, althoug
Make business backend initialization functions accessible when statically linking
MSVC compatibility: Disable "C99 designated initializers" by a compiler-dependent macro Same as r18755.
Make the backend initialization functions accessible when statically linking
Change the definition of QOF_STDOUT The old definition file: conflicts with normal uris that can start with file: as well. I have chosen > instead, which is never a valid filename and on unixlike systems associated with standard out operations.
Use proper qof CFLAGS/LDFLAGS since core-utils now uses qof
The webkit used on win32 has webkit_web_frame_print_full() defined in include files, so we don't need a potentially conflicting extern declaration.
If gmtime_r is defined as a macro, undef it
Add svn:ignore to src/core-utils/test
Remove invalid target (got copied from src/engine/test)
Build test-core before core-utils
Add the core-utils tests in the automake system
Move filepath related tests to core-utils/test
Undefine localtime_r as a macro (new mingw pthreads package defines it)
Add braces to make if-if-then-else structure clear and avoid GCC 4.4.0 error message
Remove gncmod-test from test-core It's not used and prevents test-core from being included in core-utils tests
Add missing NULL sentinel at end of g_strconcat() function call
Removed erroneously re-created src/engine/gnc-filepath-utils.c
Move binreloc library include
Note the moved files in POTFILES.in.
Remove C executable from cmake as it is no longer necessary.
Add missing link library after r18811.
Adapt cmake to the file move in r18811.
Add src/engine/test/test-resolve-url
Win32: Add download of cmake, disabled by default.
MSVC compatibility: strftime() doesn't know "%T" here. Also, g_fopen doesn't work, but fopen does.
Move gnc-filepath-utils and dependencies from engine to core-utils
Typo fixes, as found by doxygen.log, patch by Jesse Weinstein
Tweak to gnc-svnversion's bzr section, patch by Jesse Weinstein
Use "template-account" property to get/set template account.
Add "template-account" to schedxaction as a gobject property.
Simplify handling of sx template_acct column.
Rename GNCBook into QofBook everywhere and remove separate header gnc-book.h. The former was already #define'd on the latter, so its removal gets rid of one level of indirection which makes function lookup easier. Also, the macro (!) qof_book_get_slots was turned into a normal function again because that's what functions are for (and otherwise the additional declaration in engine.i would break).
Decrease compiler warnings by removing unused variables.
Reduce compiler warnings by replacing strerror() with g_strerror() and similar glib replacements.
Win32: Add more header includes where necessary to avoid using undeclared functions.
Comment out unimplemented function. Improve const-correctness.
Include gtk/gtk.h instead of gtk/gtkclist.h as recommended by Gtk
Fix make dist r18765 introduced test target test-resolve-url, but no source file test-resolve-url.c Removed the target.

Replace and-let* in scheme script so that srfi-2 isn't needed.
Replace one more g_list_append by g_list_prepend.
MSVC compatibility: Somehow fdopen() doesn't work during the trace file initialization. Use fopen() instead.
Win32 build: libguile needs minor tweaking for MSVC compatibility.
MSVC compatibility: Fix r18748, r18761 by replacing strncasecmp() with strnicmp().
MSVC C++ compatibility: Rename the internal name of union _GUID because _GUID is a builtin keyword here. This does not concern the typedef name, only the internal union name, so it doesn't harm us.
C++ compatibility: namespace is a keyword, so don't use it as variable name.
C++ compatibility: export is a keyword, so don't use it as a member name.
Add support for passing a Timespec as a boxed GValue
Fix test makefiles. Many tests now need to include other libraries because files have changed directories.
Add more gobject property definitions to GNCPrice, Transaction, SchedXaction and Split.
Win32: Create the MSVC import library for libguile during install.sh.
Remove static current_session variable of libqof - we keep one in gnc-session.c already.
Doxygen improvements, patch by Jesse Weinstein
More changes where SQL backend uses gobject properties to load/save objects.
More conversion to read/write objects from sql backend using gobject parameters
Start to add properties to business objects. Currently only 1 property per object, but this infrastructure will allow more generic importing of objects.
Take advantage of the initial property definition for Transaction, Split, GNCPrice and SchedXaction by replacing custom access routines with gobject properties.
Add a few gobject properties to some engine object types. This adds more of the gobject infrastructure to Transaction, Split, SchedXaction and GNCPrice. Gobject properties provides a standardized interface to the engine objects which should allow standard and simplified read/write mechanisms. For the sql backend, for example, db columns can be mapped to properties. In a generalized csv importer, csv columns can be mapped to properties.
Partly revert r18748, "Win32 compatibility": lib/libc directory doesn't have glib available.
Add a "make indent" target, but watch out with using its result. The "astyle" indent tool unfortunately behaves significantly different in its different versions (1.22, 1.23, 1.24) even with identical options. That is, the basic indentation is the same, but in a large project such as ours, there are just too many special cases which astyle doesn't get identical due to its bugfixes and new features. Hence, please use the result of this target with great care, and if in doubt, just use it for your own amusement but don't commit the resulting changes. Thanks!
Fix up some doxygen comments
Don't include gnc-lot-p.h where not needed
Win32: Fix libbonoboui compiling.
MSVC compatibility: Microsoft doesn't have C99 "designated initializers". Those were introduced in r17724, bug#539957, but apparently this C99 is not supported by MSVC and won't be for some time to come. Hence, for MSVC we need the workaround to define a macro that will shadow the member names. However, the initialization itself works fine and non-MSVC code is unchanged, so I think we can live with that.
MSVC compatiblity: Struct initialization doesn't work as expected. Somehow, the struct initialization containing a gnc_numeric doesn't work. As an exception, we hand-initialize that member afterwards.
MSVC compatiblity: open() flags and S_ISDIR doesn't exist on MSVC.
MSVC compatiblity: Use a char* pointer for the memcpy() input argument. This is required by MSVC because we do some pointer arithmetic in the memcpy() argument, but in order to do this, MSVC wants to know the pointed-to type of the pointer because pointer arithmetic increases the pointer not by a number a bytes but a number of sizeof(type). MSVC thinks for void* it doesn't count bytes. We achieve the desired effect by using a char* pointer so that bytes are counted.
MSVC compatiblity: Add defines for functions/types which are available under different names in MSVC.
MSVC compatiblity: Array initialization in MSVC requires a constant, not a variable. That is, gcc accepts a constant variable in many cases now, but MSVC doesn't accept it. So it must be turned into an old preprocessor define.
MSVC compatibility: Remove forward declaration of static array by reordering the function that uses it.
Win32 compatibility: Use glib wrappers of non-usual POSIX functions.
More header include compatibility: Watch out for HAVE_UNISTD_H.
Re-indentation of source code, next batch. This also strips trailing whitespaces from lines where they existed. This re-indentation was done using astyle-1.24 using the following options: astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper --pad-header --suffix=none
Convert GNCLot to use more gobject features. Removes all direct access to lot object fields, which are now accessed through functions or property names (for backend sql load).
Modify POTFILES.in to handle source files moved to a new directory
Also build backend/xml in cmake.
Reverted 18699
Clarify required steps to setup windows build environment. The mingw website has changed quite a lot since the README was written and some of the url's used in it were confusing. I have changed the url's to point to the actual packages on sourceforge (current at the time of this writing) and added some extra details where I had trouble understanding the actions to perform.
Doxygen fixes - Have this file show up under module "Utility Functions" - Normalize the function descriptions (some were not in doxygen format) - Add a global file description - rename parameter 'file' to 'filename' for better consistency (note this required an internal parameter to be renamed from filename to new_filename)
More minor MSVC code fixes. However, this code doesn't compile with MSVC9.0 for a few reasons: 1. libguile.h comes with its own scmconfig.h which contains HAVE_STDINT_H whereas MSVC doesn't have that. This is stupid guile which doesn't accept the fact that the user uses a different compiler than how they compiled guile. 2. Some initializations are not supported: Account.c:3312 etc. 3. The C99 "designated initializers" of e.g. Account.c:4661 ff. (r17724, bug#539957) are not supported by MSVC9.0 - this is the hardest problem of these all.
Make CMake system more complete so that it builds on win32/mingw. Also, add a test executable to check that we got all the library dependencies.
More CMake work: Build swig wrappers correctly. Build gnc-module.
Cosmetic: Remove duplicate include of gnc-engine.h
Remove trailing whitespace
Minor doxygen change and lots or trailing whitespace removed
Remove GNOME_PRINT_{CFLAGS,LIBS} from the Makefile templates
Spelling errors and trailing whitespace removal
Remove reference to gnome print in the comments GnuCash no longer uses gnome print. It has been replaced with gtk print.
Remove two more popt references in support files.
Remove popt requirement from configure GnuCash doesn't use it. At the same time, I removed a check that has been commented out since the beginning of the revision history (somewhere in 2007). This check tested for the presence of popt.h to then run some libtool changes. As I said this whole block has been commented out since the beginning of time, so I considered it to be obsolete, more even so now that the popt requirement has been removed.
Remove popt references - popt has been replaced with the GOption infrastructure. So there's no need to include the popt.h file. - Also rewritten the comment that was elaborating on popt vs GOption - Finally removed the loglevel option (which was excluded from the compile anyway) that still referred to popt.
Fix minor spelling errors
When creating lists of database objects, use g_list_prepend() rather than g_list_append(). There may be cases where the list order is significant and thus needs to be reversed, but that is not true in these cases. This provides a large improvement in database loading performance. Analysis and basis patch supplied by Donald Allen.
Update documentation references to Active Perl (5.8->5.10)
Remove redundant entries in EXTRA_DIST
More experimental cmake building. Except for the scheme wrappers this seems to work until at least the engine module. However, I didn't tackle the issue with the generated headers which contain some installation paths - but those we should get rid of anyway.
Move two gtk-dependent files from src/core-utils to src/gnome-utils. core-utils depends on glib and additionally guile and gconf, but not (yet) gtk. Those two files which do are moved to the next module which already depends on gtk, which is gnome-utils.
Add some experimental CMakeLists.txt which can compile the libqof part, on Linux, Windows/mingw and (no joke) Windows/MSVC. I'm interested in some tests with the cmake build system, but if it doesn't prove useful I will remove it again within a few weeks.
Make libqof compatible for MSVC9.0 compiler (no joke). The main change is that the syntax for variadic macros is slightly different in MSVC compared to gcc. But they exist, so offering the log macros in the different syntax is sufficient.
Make more header inclusions conditional on whether they exist.
Update .gitignore, proposed by Jeff Kletsky
Make sure file urls actually contain path information or are NULL
Remove redundant GLIB check.
Bump minimum required versions of gtk+, goffice and gtkhtml gtk+: 2.10 goffice: 0.5.1 gtkhtml: 3.14
Add a starter script for gnucash under ddd (a gui frontend for gdb)
Build fixes for EL5 after glib 2.12 requirement
Ensure that GNC_DOT_PATH and other gnc_dotgnucash_dir() logic is used for all cases, remove hard-coded references to /usr/etc, /usr/share, /usr/local/etc, and /usr/local/share while providing for xaccResolveFilePath to actually search the data and sysconfdir directories used in the build. (gnc_build_data_path): New function, just a copy of gnc_build_book_path. Needed for rewrite of xaccResolveFilePath. (xaccResolveFilePath): Cleaned out the hard-coded paths and weird file path contruction functions and rewrote the function to use gnc_path_get_foo and gnc_build_data_path without all of the silly indirection. Removed superfluous URI checks (which are correctly perfomed by xaccResolveURL()). (MakeHomeDir, xaccPathGenerator, xaccDataPathGenerator) (xaccUserPathGenerator): Deleted; their functionality is replaced as noted above. (check_file_return_if_true): Renamed check_file_return_if_valid, a more descriptive name.
Bump glib2 minimum requirement to 2.12. At the same time, remove all the conditional code and workarounds that were in the code to cater for glib < 2.12. Note: this commit will require a rerun of autogen.sh and configure.
README referred to a non-existent file So per a suggestion on IRC, I took the reference out. Patch by Jesse Weinstein.
Win32: Update libxslt version, but it needs its own copy of libxml2.dll. Apparently the gnome-provided libxml2 has the DLL filename libxml2-2.dll, but the binary from xmlsoft.org still has the filename libxml2.dll.
Win32: And one more dependency upgrade (causes missing libxml2.dll complaints otherwise)
More win32 dependency version updates.
Update libpng package dependency for win32 to 1.4.0
Small spelling fixes in the comments
Re-indentation of source code, next batch. This also strips trailing whitespaces from lines where they existed. This re-indentation was done using astyle-1.24 using the following options: astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper --pad-header Discussed at http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2009-August/026121.html
Update gnome package versions.
GDate values weren't being properly fetched from objects to be saved in a database column if they were fetched as a gobject property.
Clean up account column in the lot table to specify that the guid is an account reference. Simplifies the code a bit, and makes future use of foreign keys easier.
If building for WIN32, use webkit_web_frame_print_full() so that a GtkPrintOperation object with the correct units can be used to prevent font size problems (see bug 591177). On other platforms, use webkit_web_frame_print() because some distros seem not to have webkit_web_frame_print_full() (and also don't have the font size problem so on those distros, we don't need to create our own GtkPrintOperation object).
Cutecash Some of the GnuCash developers have decided to rewrite the UI for the cross-platform Qt toolkit from TrollTech. The goal is a simpler UI which is more powerful and easier to develop. This project has gotten the name "Cutecash". It uses the same back-ends and engine as gnucash. Only the UI is different. The source for the Cutecash UI is in the same tree (and therefore, the tarballs) as GnuCash, but at this point, no MAC or Win32 builds are being produced.
Cutecash: Add Commodity wrapper. Use gnc-exp-parser for numbers. - Allow amounts to be edited. - Let the date column be handled by the QDate delegate with a QDateEdit widget
Cutecash: Enable entering of more cells in register. Some code cleanup. Add class documentation.
Enable editing of the "Description" column in the split list view - WITH UNDO! The Qt Undo framework is almost like magic. We just have to create a command object instead of directly manipulating the value, and suddenly the undo/redo just works. This is fun!
Cutecash: Add QUndoStack to implement all editing through the Command pattern and make it undoable.
Cutecash: Enable closing and re-opening the different tab views. Also, change many main window slots to make use of the auto-connection feature because it makes the slot intention much easier to read. Also, note how we store the Tab position, title, isEnabled state in dynamically allocated properties in the Tab widget itself - this is a rather cool feature of QObject here (see reallyRemoveTab() and viewOrHideTab()).
Cutecash: Add Recent-File menu.
Cutecash: Enable tab moving and other UI features of Qt.
Cutecash: Add Timespec conversion to QDateTime. Add display of transaction date in register tabs.
Cutecash: Display account balance in tree and split amount in account register.
Cutecash: Add gnc::Numeric wrapper for gnc_numeric.
Implement a table widget with the list of the splits of one account, and open this if an account in the tree is double-clicked. Date and values/amounts can follow next, once those types are suitably wrapped into C++ as well.
Cutecash: Add progress bar during loading the file.
Implement the account list data model as a specialization of the account tree model. This is helpful in order to understand Qt's Model/View structure, so both (list and tree) are still available.
Cutecash: Fix guile version number query. Patch by Herbert Thoma.
Cutecash: Add a tree view of the accounts.
Cutecash: Fix CMakeLists for change in guile lookup, r18846
Cutecash: Remove QSharedPointer because manual delete is sufficient. Also, the QSharedPointer cannot be used for bookkeeping of a C pointer to any gnucash object because it refuses to work if it doesn't know the actual struct definition, which in gnucash is always private. The boost::shared_ptr would work without (by the custom deleter argument in the constructor), but QSharedPointer doesn't (the custom deleter is accepted only in addition to the known storage size, not alternatively), so it is pointless here.
Cutecash: Add version check for guile and define HAVE_GUILE18 if appropriate.
Adapt cutecash to r18842.
Cutecash: Fix extern "C" usage: Must not enclose system includes, supposedly.
Cutecash: Allow older glib versions as well.
Cutecash: Add business-core including business-core/xml into the executable.
Add copyright notices in cutecash source code files.
Cutecash: Copy some more icons into the program. Add a clickable hyperlink.
More C++/Qt4 frontend work.
Add example main window in C++ and Qt that links against gnucash-engine. The example was based on Qt4's "application" example, but the main window layout is done through the .ui file already.
Finish cmake build system for the C++ experiment. To build this: mkdir build-cpp cd build-cpp cmake .. make ./src/gnc/cutecash
C++ experiment: Extend the AccountModel into a table with name and description. Use QString everywhere as well.
C++ experiment: Add first simple model/view widget for the loaded account list.
Some more C++ work. Opening an existing file works, even though nothing is visible so far. The implementation of a scoped_ptr wrapper around a C object uses the boost library, though, because writing our own implementation of a scoped_ptr with custom deletion function is too non-trivial and I rather re-use the boost::shared_ptr here instead of making our own mistakes.

New in GnuCash 2.3.10 (Apr 22, 2010)

New in GnuCash 2.3.9 (Apr 22, 2010)

Bugs fixed
Bug #608436: Add auto-clear feature Patch by Cristian KLEIN: = Usage scenario = John keeps his personal accounting in GnuCash and writes all credit card expenses therein. On weekends, we checks his Internet Banking and sees that some transactions have been recorded. He would like to clear those transactions in GnuCash, but it is tiresome to go through each Internet Banking transaction and do manual comparison with GnuCash records, especially since Internet Banking transactions might be in a different order than in GnuCash. John would prefer having an "auto-clear" feature. Given the "current amount" from the Internet Banking, he would like GnuCash to clear the transactions for him, if and only if, there is a unique combination of transactions that could achieve this. If there is no solution, or if the solution is not unique, GnuCash should warn him and John must manually clear the transactions.
Bug #590332: New eguile-based Tax Invoice report Patch by Chris Dennis.
Bug #606053: Add stylesheet with footer Patch by [email protected] and Frank H. Ellenberger.
Bug 586122 - The AqBanking Wizard can't be loaded: plugins\20 folder to be renamed into plugins\16 The patch evaluates and configures the proper paths at build time, retrieving the required info directly from the aqbanking source
Bug #608329: Add Color to Account tabs Patch by "Bob": I wanted a way to select an account easily when I have several accounts open in the main window. I decided to add a color option to the account so that the tab can be set to a specific color and so easily identifiable. This could also be used to link like minded accounts together. This patch also fixes the account tooltip not being updated when the name changes.
Bug #534210: Add individual check item types. Patch by Thomas Troesch: The proposed patch does: 1. Changes the chk file key to Blocking_Chars as described in 607522 ( this had been dropped by mistake ). 2. Add several fields to the Custom tab in the print check dialog. Locations for: a. split memos fields. b. split accounts ( e.g. Expenses:Auto ) c. split amounts ( e.g. GBP 21.40 ) The splits do not include the last split in the transaction. The keys in the chk format file are: SPLITS_AMOUNT SPLITS_MEMO SPLITS_ACCOUNTS 3. Memo was added to the custom tab. This is the memo from the split that matches the account from the register.
Bug #608306: check amount_word should print the fraction correctly. Patch by Thomas Troesch: Checks printed the wrong string for the amount_words. The utility number_to_words had produced e.g. from 100.04 -> One Hundred and 4/100. The word string should be One Hundred and 04/100.
Bug #608874: Spelling fix for Emoluments Patch by Adrian Bridgett.
Bug #589320 Price Editor - Currency Namespace does not show up This bug was introduced by r18062 (applying a patch from bug #580281 Entering multiple pices with price editor is tedious) For some unknown reason, r18062 assumed exchange rates are not supposed to be edited via the Price Editor dialog.
Bug #105669: Improve error handling in gz_thread_func. Honor errors when reading/writing from/to a compressed file or the pipe to the main thread.
Bug #606728: Catch errors when opening saved-reports-2.4 for write.
Bug #105669: Add checks to detect errors on write, especially if there no space left on the disk. Check the return value of fprintf and use ferror where libraries as libxml do the write. The change may not be perfect yet and a review would be nice. Still, it detects quite a few errors that, without it, slip through and may destroy valuable data.
Bug #607522: Add ADDRESS to check printing Patch by Thomas Troesch: The patch does three things: 1. Adds the ability to print an address on checks. The Print Check dialog is changed to have 5 address lines. The first field is filled in with the same data as the PAYEE check item. The other lines are blank. The check format keys have a new check-item type 'ADDRESS'. It behaves like other text check-item types. The address fields on the dialog are set 'not-sensitive' if the current format does not have an ADDRESS check item defined. The Custom Field tab has a new line for the address location. 2. Added new check format key - Blocking_Chars. This is to put the blocking character feature into the check format file. It is currently only in the preferences dialog in the printing tab, and therefore currently applies (or not) to all text fields in th_e check format. By adding the key Blocking_Chars_n to the check format, the blocking characters can be applied to text type check-items individually. Its really useful when printing stubs and so on. (NOTE: blocking characters are printed around a field to protect against alteration e.g. ***$100.00*** vs $100.00) 3. Included a Voucher check template. This is a full page check with the check on top and which has two stubs below. There are other voucher formats ( middle and bottom ) , but the check printing functionality would require separate templates for the different formats. Also changed the Quicken/Quickbooks US-Letter check format to include the ADDRESS check item and blocking around the AMOUNT_NUMBER field. I made a change to the Quicken-wallet check to add blocking characters around the AMOUNT_NUMBER field, and I added a clipping rectangle definition to the NOTES and PAYEE fields the were placed in the check stub area ( if the fields were too long, they would print into the check area ).
Bug #607517: Migrate print.glade from glade-2 to glade-3 format. Patch by Thomas Troesch.
Bug #607246: In qof_string_number_compare_func, use base 10 and do not allow octals to sneak in. Otherwise, transaction number 0108 (octal 010=8) will sort before 0107 (octal 0107=71).
Bug #607255: Repair Hungarian report main menu, by Attila Nagy.
Bug #607185: Add f-q workaround for missing date. Patch by "meo": If for whatever reason finance-quote is unable to get a date for a quote or to convert it to the standardized form, gnucash is unable to use the otherwise correct quote. With web pages being updated definitively more frequently than finance-quote, this is quite a nuisance. Up to now, gnc-fq-helper emits an error message + the quote, a combination gnucash is unable to process. This patch presents a workaround. I would prefer using the current date + 12 hours rather than current date + time, but this is open for discussion.
Bug #606077: Fix uncommon configure option --program-suffix. Patch by Peter Selinger: OK, the attached patch fixes part of this problem. Specifically, it applies the specified transform (from ./configure option --program-suffix, --program-prefix, or --program-transform-name) to the files src/bin/gnucash-valgrind src/bin/gnucash-gdb src/bin/gnucash This is done in the Makefile at compile time. In the end, I am not sure why the GnuCash configure.in provides the --program-suffix mechanism at all, since apparently it hasn't been used in 10 years. According to info autoconf, these are supposed to be enabled by the macro AC_ARG_PROGRAM, but I don't see this in configure.in. So perhaps it has been enabled by accident and shouldn't really be there.
Bug #511606: Fix ipmt() and ppmt() functions in scheduled transactions. Patch by Jean-Baptiste: " The instance counter is now incremented into increment_sx_state function."
Bug #538902: Moves the "New Accounts Page" menu option to the "View" menu Patch by Steven N. Severinghaus.
Bug #348701 Wrong currency symbol when currency is set to DKK This fix reverts changeset r7200, which caused some currency symbols to be replaced with the EURO sign. This replacement was a workaround for gtkhtml1 and no longer needed.
Bug #606626: Change wording from Druid to Assistant
Bug #589032: Replace some strcmp() by safe_strcmp() to fix crashes on NULL strings.
Bug #602051: Replace the word "string" in GUI messages by non-developer wordings. Same for dialog -> window.
Bug #602091: Fix broken Due Bill Reminder in all non-C locales The Due Bill Reminder used the translated form of "Invoice" as query string predicate, which can't work because the untranslated string must be searched for.
Bug #582325: Refactor some deprecated guile functions: SCM_BOOLP -> scm_is_bool SCM_NULLP -> scm_is_null SCM_FALSEP -> scm_is_false SCM_NFALSEP -> scm_is_true SCM_VECTORP -> scm_is_vector SCM_NUMBERP -> scm_is_number SCM_CONSP -> scm_is_pair SCM_STRING_CHARS -> scm_to_locale_string Specifically the replacement of SCM_STRING_CHARS with scm_to_locale_string fixes Bug #582325 Additionally, I have renamed these internal functions for global consistency: SCM_PROCEDUREP -> scm_is_procedure SCM_LISTP -> scm_is_list SCM_EXACTP -> scm_is_exact SCM_EQUALP -> scm_is_equal
Bug #605414: Clarify Quick-fill tip of the day Patch by James Raehl: Patch adds Tab key step to the Quick Fill tip. New users do not know about this step.
Bug #605415: Relax limit on scheduled days in the future Patch by James Raehl: Expand scheduled transaction date limit by 366 days Usually, scheduled transactions are limited to 365 days in the future. This patch doubles that limit plus adds a day for leap years. The patch supports a method for separating transactions that are not yet posted at the bank, by assigning an initial date one year in the future. Under this method, scheduled transactions and their reminders are one year in the future, since they have not happened yet.
Fix bug #603215 - Custom report from Budget Report does not save selected Budget Problem was how budget option tried to create the lambda function to restore the value.
Bug #479581 gnucash --nofile hasn't application name in window title When no file is selected, the title now becomes "Unsaved Book - GnuCash". The first part is following Gnome HIG guidelines, the latter part is a preference of several GnuCash developers. Furthermore, the "- GnuCash" suffix will always be appended, not only when no file is open.
Fix #586122 (follow-up to r18488) by using aqbanking/version.h from its installation path. Also look up the gwenhywfar so-name accordingly.

Updated Dutch translation, copied from the Translation Project.
Update German translation.
Update the translations with the latest string template.
I18n improvement: The account name of the other account in multi-split transaction is extended to conform to the name in the register. Otherwise, the string Split from here has the ambiguity with the button labeles Split, which is the verb, whereas here we need the noun.
I18n improvement: Add disambiguation prefix to the account code of the other account in a multi-split txn. Without the disambiguation, the string here is identical to the button labeled Split, but that one is for sure something different from here, namely the old verb vs. noun issue.
Other user-visible changes
Small UI string corrections related to the recent tax enhancements. Patch by J. Alex Aycinena.
Payment dialog layout improvements - Rearrange the frames so that the Transfer Account frame gets more space - Add tooltips to (owner), (invoice) and amount related widgets. - Properly align the invoice_label widget
Watch out for a missing pricing transaction when looking for price data.
Add a comment about GNC_COMMODITY_NS_ISO and GNC_COMMODITY_NS_CURRENCY.
Add new columns for the name of the lot each split is part of and for the value of the split. Both are optional and default to off.
Call gnc_{suspend|resume}_gui_refresh while closing accounts and scrubbing lots to make them go much faster and avoid flicker.
Watch out for a null account in render-corresponding-account-subheading, it happened to me once.
Pass the correct report name to income-statement-renderer-internal when rendering a profit and loss report.
Don't leak a file port when saving reports.
Reset found_trans_split when the transaction being considered in gnc_split_register_find_split turns out to be the wrong one.
Fix an off by one error in gnc_ui_sx_loan_druid_create.
Increase the size of the Guile stack to avoid stack overflow errors.
Some usability improvements to the Save As.../Open dialog (part 2) Forgot to add the changes in c code...
Some usability improvements to the Save As.../Open dialog * The dialog gets a proper title * Only show the File frame or the Database frame, as relevant to the chosen data format * Set a minimum width. Without it the dialog comes up too narrow. * Some minor layout changes (spacing, justification,...) to harmonize with other GnuCash dialogs.
Don't show hidden accounts in the transfer dialog. This should be connected to the UI, but my ubuntu has glade 3 which mucks up the .glade files.
Add a Select Children button to the widget used for account selection in report options dialogs.
Load gnc-build-url from the correct file so the accounts list option works again.
Speed up the balance sheet report by a factor of 5 or so by using C functions instead of Scheme functions to get account commodity balances. This idea is borrowed from the EGuile version of the balance sheet report.
Avoid a bunch of assertion failures when the general ledger is open. The general ledger has no account so attempts to get the balance of the register's account pass a null account pointer to functions that won't accept that. Also stop leaking a GList in the functions that get account balances.
Remove the "Compute unrealized gains and losses" option from the balance sheet report. Instead compute unrealized gains and losses only if the current book does not use trading accounts.
Change 'Int' to 'Interest' and 'Div' to 'Dividend' in action strings
Use string saved-reports-2.4 in the description of the save report action.
Use gtkhtml as html render in the Windows build
[Patch] Corrections to taxtxf.scm Patch by J. Alex Aycinena: I attach a patchfile that corrects two problems with taxtxf.scm: the report would not gracefully handle the cases where, 1, a datafile from an earlier version of gnucash might have tax codes assigned to accounts and no tax-entity-type code assigned to the file, and, 2, some cases where accounts had no tax code assigned and the tax-related flag not set.
Have the Post date widget grab the focus by default when opening the post invoice dialog.
Updated txf.scm for 2009 US tax form changes by J. Alex Aycinena.
Fix crash when copying a currently edited transaction in the register.
Other code/build changes
Remove gnucash.lsm from EXTRA_DIST
Fix doxygen markup
Small documentation improvements for better doxygen docs
Move splint-defs.h to src/debug. It's only used for debugging. Note that the current splint-defs.h causes compilation errors due to redefinition of function declarations. These should be fixed when splint is to be run again.
Win32: Fix building of libgoffice. Required libgsf to not remove the build directory, hence part of r18559 need to be reverted.
Fix null-pointer dereference from r18612
Remove Linux Software Map description. It's unmaintained for years now.
Move count.* to util Also I made a first attempt at improving the line count. The old script missed a number of files in the directories it counted. The script is still not in line with the current code base though. A number of directories are still not counted (like gnome, engine, ledger, ...)
Moved svnlog2ul from contrib to util It makes more sense in util as it is by and for the devs, not contributed by an external user for external use.
Add svnlog2ul.sh, and accompanying xslt sheets. svnlog2ul.sh is a script to extract the commit messages from svn between two releases and converts them into a simple html unordered list. This is a useful aid to create the news pages on the website.
Move valgrind suppression rules to debug subdirectory This will require a new run of configure as some makefiles have changed
Set svn:ignore on pl accounts like the other account directories (Meaning: ignore Makefile and Makefile.in)
Remove the old, obsolete postgres backend and its tools I also changed some of the documentation that referred to it, but there are still some references left in the (unmaintained ?) design documents.
Win32: Hopefully fix goffice installation.
Free sort_keys as allocated by g_utf8_collate_key in ExtensionInfos.
Fix script to check for > 2.8 entries to remove The minimal Gtk+ requirement has been set to 2.8 recently. This script still removed glade parameters that are valid in 2.8. This patch fixes that.
Corrections to r18610 to permit compiling against older versions of glib
Remove more executable bits from data files
Remove executable flag from data files
Fix URL of ActivePerl.
Minor changes to global project files 1. Fix spelling errors in HACKING - appearenet -> apparent (patch by Tom Van Braeckel) - supressions -> suppressions 2. Keep the contributer list sorted alphabetically in AUTHORS
Fix "make distcheck". Patch by Jan Arne Petersen
Reverse r18597
Create routines qof_book_get_string_option() and qof_book_set_string_option() to get/set a kvp string, respectively. qof_book_set_string_option() also handles saving the book so that the kvp is updated in the db. In the future, qof_book_set__option() and qof_book_get__option() should be created, where type is boolean, int, double, ... In addition, other places which handle options in the book should use these routines.
Create qof_book_begin_edit()/qof_book_commit_edit() routines. These need to be added around lines which set kvp values for the book, and the dirty flag does *not* need to be set.
Revert 18490/18491/18527 - I'm not sure it's actually deleting the objects without affecting the database.
Add ChangeLog.2009 for the last year.
Use correct routine to add a newly loaded entry to the correct bill. r18302 fixed the entry loading problem for invoices, this extends it to bills.
Remove build directories of dependencies after their successful installation.
Remove a couple of unused local variables left over from a previous iteration of the trading account changes.
Fix guile-1.6 compatibility of r18541 (bug#582325). We still suppport guile-1.6, hence we can use the functions introduced in guile-1.8 only by providing our own backward compatibility macro definitions in guile-mappings.h.
Update gwenhywfar/aqbanking version numbers for win32 build.
Fix gwenhywfar version lookup by tightening the RE used
Need to export the variables for glib to see them
temporarily disable the gwenhywfar version lookup - there are multiple lines matching GWENHYWFAR_SO_EFFECTIVE
Really fix r18495 (#586122) to look up the so-name of gwenhywfar correctly.
Require gtk+ >= 2.8
Remove unneeded information lines about "qof" - we're using our internal code always anyway.
Re-indentation of source code, next batch. This also strips trailing whitespaces from lines where they existed. This re-indentation was done using astyle-1.23 using the following options: astyle --indent=spaces=4 --brackets=break --pad-oper Discussed at http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2009-August/026121.html
Allow digits in Gtk action names created in gnc_create_extension_info. This should fix bug 447339 as long as all report names are unique considering only alphanumeric characters.
Free accounts/lots/splits/transactions when closing a book
Fix a couple of echo commands and set warnings=no-portability when running automake.
Make xaccSplitDump and xaccTransDump work for debugging.
Teach xaccSplitConvertAmount that 0*x = 0. Avoids looking up non-existant exchange rate.
Add some missing Leave() calls.
Symlink the reports to the build directory to make it easier to use them when running in place after a build without installing GnuCash.
Use resolve-interface instead of resolve-module when loading reports fo only the exported interface gets imported instead of everything defined in the file.
Make the dbi backend tests work correctly if dbd is installed in a nonstandard location. Supply a GNC_DBD_DIR environment variable to the tests so it knows where to find the database modules. This is needed if libdbi is installed via MacPorts on OS X.
Add flags to help with valgrind on glib
Free prices so that they can be deleted when the book is closed
Free budgets when closing a book
When closing the book, destroy all lots (found by valgrind)
Free memory leaks
Add qof_backend_module_finalize() routine to call dbi_shutdown() to free allocated resources.
Add qof_finalize_backend_libraries() which is called during shutdown. This routine checks each backend library for an exported qof_backend_module_finalize() routine, and if it exists, calls it so that the backend can free any resources which have been allocated.
Fix some memory leaks found by valgrinding tests
Remove erroneous use lib from gnc-fq-*, along with PERLINC setup in configure.in
Decrease verbosity during win32 packaging: Inno, gconftool-2, htmlhelp compiler (hhc) with less output.
Fix some incorrect ENTER() and LEAVE() calls.
Fix up some gnc:debug calls (and one comment).
Fix a couple of initialized variable warnings.
Add missing PORTFOLIO_LEDGER register type to switch statement in gnc_split_register_get_debcred_entry.

If an object is loaded with a reference to an invoice, order, tax table or bill term which has not been loaded yet, print a warning message into the trace file.
If an object is being loaded that has a reference to a transaction, and the transaction hasn't been loaded yet, load it. If an object has a reference to an account, commodity, budget or lot that hasn't been loaded yet, print a warning message in the trace file. The difference in handling is that these object types are always loaded at init time, whereas transactions are not.

New in GnuCash 2.3.5 (Aug 31, 2009)

New in GnuCash 2.3.4 (Aug 25, 2009)

Changes in database schema. The "helper" tables (slots, recurrences, taxtable_entries) which can have multiple entries per object now have a unique, auto-increment integer primary key. Dates and date/times stored in the database are now stored in DATE and TIMESTAMP columns (mysql and pgsql). The "hidden" and "placeholder" account flags are now stored in individual fields in the accounts table. A new budget_amounts table contains 1 record per budget per account per period and contains the budget amount for that account/period. The scheduled transaction end date is now being stored. The versions table now has the table name as the primary key, and NULL values are disallowed for all fields.
Because of these changes, you will need to delete and recreate your database. If you want to save your data, save it to XML before upgrading to 2.3.4, upgrade, then load the XML file and save to a new database or over your existing database.
The standard report .scm files are now in / share / gnucash / guile-modules / gnucash / report / standard-reports. When gnucash is started, it will scan this directory and load each .scm file into the report menu system. This means that if you want to add a new report to gnucash, you only need to copy it into this directory.
Updated Japanese translation
Updated Dutch translation
Updated Danish translation
Fixed bug 591614: Saving to postgresql causes zombie scheduled transactions.
Ensure template root account (used for scheduled transactions) is stored even if there are no scheduled transactions
Accounts can be stored even if commodity=NULL
Fix bug 589418: commodities were not being stored properly. This should solve the problem of the disappearing commodities.
Improvements in the budget report:
For income accounts, the sign of the "difference" column is reversed so that positive values are good (more than budget).
Fix wrapping problems in budget cells (account labels, negative values, values in certain currencies)
Budget report can now display negative values in red. This requires use of the Default-CSS stylesheet
Period dates are now centered properly over the columns for that period
Add an option to the budget report. If enabled, and an account does not have a budget value for the period, the budget values for all child accounts are added. If the chart of accounts is set up so that only leaf accounts have transactions, this allows budget values to be assigned either to all children and not the parent (they will be summed) or the parent.
Changed --enable-webkit configure option to --with-html-engine=XXX where XXX is "gtkhtml" (default) or "webkit".
Merged latest pot template into all .po translation files.
Fixed signed vs unsigned char pointer type conflicts.

New in GnuCash 2.3.3 (Jul 24, 2009)

New in GnuCash 2.3.2 (Jul 10, 2009)

Major changes in the 2.3.x release include;
In addition to the XML backend, Gnucash can now use a SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL database to store the data. This is a new implementation using libdbi. It supports all features including the business features. In order to build with this, add --enable-dbi to the configure command. In addition to the libdbi-dev package for your distribution, you will also need the appropriate DBD (libdbi driver) package for sqlite3, mysql or postgresql.
In addition to the current GtkHTML HTML engine used to display reports and graphs, Gnucash can use WebKit. WebKit is the engine used by Google Chrome on Windows and Safari on Apple. In order to build with this, add --enable-webkit to the configure command. You will need an appropriate webkit-dev package. On win32, you will need to download the webkit-1.1.5-win32.zip file from the source repository and put it into the downloads directory of your gnucash build area.
Updated to AqBanking 3 on Win32.
Changes between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 include:
