GNUCash Portable Changelog

What's new in GNUCash Portable 5.6

Apr 2, 2024

Bug 798946 - start/end of current/last quarter have off-by-one error
Bug 799093 - Cannot reconcile since v5.4
Bug 799179 - SLR won't allow change from "Reminder" to any other state
Bug 799210 - Bad encoding of accented chars in account names in "Import CSV" wizard
Bug 799213 - SIGSEGV caused by revising an auto completed transaction
Bug 799222 - Crash when changing the parent of an account that has had two or more levels of sub-accounts auto-created using the register in the current session.
Bug 799224 - Import of QIF gets Bug detected during duplicates (partial fix: If the new-splits object is null, it means the new account tree from the current import has no splits. Therefore the (apply min|max dates) will fail. Omitting the date query is a simple fix to prevent crashing. This is a partial fix because the crash is likely a symptom of another bug which causes the new account-tree to be empty.
Bug 799225 - QIF Importer Crashes Silently after "Start Import" Button: Don't allow a QIF investment transaction without an action (buy/sell/etc)
Bug 799246 - import matcher will rename incorrect splits
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend.
[gnc-dense-cal.c] sx popup: show date in preference (cf.locale) format because the date format preference is user-facing and customisable. it's jarring if the preference is dd/mm/yyyy and the display shows mm/dd/yyyy in accordance to the locale.
Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction.
Date parsing efficiency improvements.
Update minumum Python version to 3.8, made necessary by updating the C API in the Python bindings.
Replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig. distutils is not present in Python 3.12.2.
Query user via dialog for date when creating a reverse transaction.
More C++ conversions
Avoid deprecation warning for -py3 in swig >= 4.1
[gnc-commodities.cpp] gnc_new_iso_codes is a std::unordered_map

[test-commodities.cpp] add some tests for gnc_quote_sources
Remove the SLR status sort as it is too confusing
Allow sorting of the transaction column in the Since Last Run dialog by schedule name or occurrence date. To sort by schedule name, a schedule name is first selected and then the column header is pressed to change order. To sort by occurrence date, a date is selected and then the column header is pressed to change order based on the date of the first occurrence. A tool tip has been added to indicate the sort order being used.
[gtest-gnc-numeric] add operator comparisons with example int64 numbers
[assistant-stock-transaction] store & retrieve associated account as metadata
Update Form/Schedule line references for 2023 for the US Income Tax Report
Update another gnucash-help to gnucash-manual

[invoice.scm] normalize header section generators, changing the functions to require 1 options argument only
Update invoice.scm: Add spacing for long Invoice ID's (Displayed as "Reference" on the Invoice)

Ensure that the selection highlight changes to the item under the pointer when right-clicking in the SX Editor.
Bug 799092 - GnuCash 5.4 leaves background process running on exit
Clear the schema_hash at app shutdown via gnc_prefs_remove_registered and make that function available to the Python bindings so that python programs can do so too.

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.

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

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 Portable 5.0 (Apr 4, 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: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 Portable 4.12 (Sep 27, 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.
New API:
gnc_tm_get_today_neutral to complement gnc_tm_get_today_begin and gnc_tm_get_today_end.
gnc_get_dialog_widget_from_id
gnc_list_all_paths

Partially fix Bug 771095 by inserting a help button in the Since-Last-Run dialog.
Lock down GITHUB_TOKEN permissions on workflows.
[g_option_context_get_help() returns a char* which must be freed.

Fix arch linux CI build failures.
Add a help button to the financial calculator dialog.
[assistant-stock-transaction] avoid resetting txn_types unnecessarily.
[assistant-stock-transaction] reorder of Pages - date before type.
[import matcher] Only append description if there's something to append to.
Otherwise just set the new string.
[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
gnc_account_lookup_by_name and gnc_account_lookup_by_code were searching breadth-first and accidentally changed to depth-first in 4.7.
[account.cpp] gnc_accounts_and_all_descendants converted from scm
[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.

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.

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 Portable 4.9 (Dec 22, 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 798325 - New Currency for Venezuela (VED)
Bug 798327 - Ofx import stops too early for multi-account OFX and one account has no new transactions
Bug 798335 - No longer possible to change trading account
Strip trading splits only if "Use Trading Accounts" is enabled for the book so that users who want to manage trading accounts by hand may do so.
Bug 798341 - Right align in Hebrew - Account screen
Bug 798346 - crashes when running check & repair
Bug 798352 - Decimal Precision when Entering Mutual Fund Transaction
Let xaccParseAmount parse up to 12 decimal places instead of 8.
Bug 798382 - Typo corrections in comments
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
More memory leak plugging and GList efficiency improvements.
Fix build with cmake older than 3.18
3.18 introduced 'cmake -E cat', but we still have to support versions starting from 3.14.
[account-piecharts] don't use gnc:make-internal-option
Several improvements to the experimental IFRS cost-basis report.
Fix two minor issues with displaying links in the Document Link dialog.
Fix obsolete links to bugzilla.gnome.org in translations.
L18N: Fix glossary/es.po:906: duplicate message definition...
901: ...this is the location of the first definition
[budget-flow] delay creating exchange-fn until a valid budget exists
because it needs budget period end-date.
[options.scm] Addon previous commit... need to initialize with guid
[options.scm] gnc:make-budget-option stores guid instead of object
because object may become stale if UI is used to delete it, leading to stale pointer and segfault. storing guid is safer, and will return null if budget is deleted.
support SEPA internal transfer
Fix issue with failure to run reconciliation with all accounts present in a multi-account OFX file. Do that by saving a GList of statements, rather than a pointer to a single one. Also freeing of info happens during the call to process_next_file.
Import of OFX files with many securities opens too many matching dialogs Because ofx import is currently split per target account, and since each security has its own accounts, importing such OFX is a tedious process. The fix is to only split the transactions if we identify a potential transfer, currently based on amount, date and accounts. To do that, we insert transactions one by one into a list, making sure we have not already inserted one that has the same date, and the same absolute amount. If we have, we keep this potential transfer for a second phase. A naive approach would loop through added transactions for each new transaction by that ends up being O(N^2), which matters if we have many transactions. Instead, I'm using a hash to make this O(N log N).
[date-utilities.scm] remove unused date selectors code & string
Adjust GNC_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_END
To match new signature of g_once_init_enter and g_once_init_leave.
Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.
glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.
Add explanatory note for gnc_add_scheme_deprecated_module test code
The immediate parent commit removes old deprecated scheme modules. Link to the old modules for example code.
[test-engine-extras] don't create splits of opposing amt/value signs
Splits' value and amount should never be of opposite signs. Fix test book which had created this incorrect value/amount pair. Strengthen env-create-multisplit-transaction to disallow test book errors.
[dialog-search] another QofQuery "q" must be destroyed
because qof_query_merge creates a newly allocated QofQuery, its 2 QofQuery must be freed separately.
[trep-engine] new option "Date Filter" to specify dates to filter by
[dialog-sx-since-last-run] don't allocate repeatedly to combine strings
[test-transaction] "Report Currency" renamed to "Report's currency"
Separate the warnings for "cut split/transaction" and "delete split/transaction"
[gnc-autoclear] Move autoclear algorithm into gnome-utils
GSettings - fix GObject warning when old prefs-version is unset
This will happen when current master (future 5.0) has been run at least once.
[utest-gnc-pricedb] add tests for gnc_price_list_equal
Also need to change PWARN which causes test failure, to PINFO
[reconcile-view][bug] dr/cr query tests amount instead of value
Because split->amount and split->value are generally of equal sign, EXCEPT in stock transactions whereby split->value can be zero and split->amount is non-zero. e.g. a stock split transaction. Querying the split amount instead will allow stock accounts with stock splits to be reconciled.
[split-register-model.c] Hide price==1 for zero-amount splits
mainly of interest in zero-amount zero-value splits in the stock register eg dividend splits.
[core-utils] introduce gnc:format
(gnc:format str [binding value]...) str will contain ${binding} which will be replaced to value.
[import-main-matcher] show destination acct for auto-match
GSettings - add 'deprecate' and 'obsolete' conversions for user preferences
'deprecate' is technically a noop. It serves to remind maintainers the 'deprecated' preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'obsolete' goes one step further in that it will cause gnucash to reset the preference, effectively clearing the value stored in the preferences backend. This is the final phase of a preference. Following this it will be completely removed from the GSettings schema in the next major release. Notes * 'deprecate' and 'migrate' are related. Both are a reminder the preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'deprecate' does only that though while 'migrate' will also trigger a copy of the old value to a new location in the databse. * This commit readds a couple of preferences that had been removed in the past to be able to properly obsolete them (and to test the obsoleting code)

New in GNUCash Portable 4.8 (Oct 1, 2021)

New in GNUCash Portable 4.6 (Jun 29, 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 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.

New in GNUCash Portable 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 Portable 3.7 (Sep 12, 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 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.
Make strings translatable. Translators: This adds 22 new translatable strings.

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

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

Bug 797281 - Gnucash crashes when attempting to match online accounts
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Rewrite the Customer Summary Report to correctly handle multiple currencies.
Improve the Owner Report's find-first function to consider currency when selecting the account.
Prevent cutting the "anchor" split or pasting another split on top of it in account registers so that the transaction won't suddenly disappear from the register page. Displays an explanatory dialog just like trying to delete the anchor split does. Allow deleting, cutting, and pasting over all splits in Journal View registers which don't have anchor splits because they're not associated with any account.
Disable editing the "blank split" (the new split at the bottom of a transaction in split view) if the transaction itself is read-only.
Use the customer and vendor currency instead of the default currency from preferences when generating bills, invoices, or credit notes.
Allow assigning a single target account to more than one transaction in the import matcher.
To do this select the new transactions and right-click to open a single-item context menu. Click the menu item to open the account selection dialog box. Note that imported transactions that match transactions already in the eriger, i.e. those marked "update" or "reconcile and update" are not eligible for inclusion.
This feature still has some rough edges that are being addressed for the next release.
Use the default currency from Properties>Accounts for the summary bar currency to make it configurable.
Allow CSV export of grand total amounts from reports using the trep-engine.
Fix XML file import failures into GnuCash for Android.
Raise minimum CMake version to 3.5 for all platforms.
Prevent crash in Aging Report when the book has no AP or AR accounts.
Fix operation of the "default budget" option.
Change the account-picker dialog to disable the OK button instead of raising a warning dialog if the selected account is a placeholder.
Fix crash after unloading all files from the QIF import assistant.
Disable the Next button in the QIF import assistant if no files are selected for import.
New report "Balance Sheet-PNL" combines a Balance Sheet and an Income Statement in a single report.
Rework localization in C++ on Win32 builds, fixing several crashes and speeding up file loading by 10x.
Create a console window for displaying stdout/stderr. Define __MSWIN_CONSOLE__ and recompile to enable.
Keep the selection in the Securities Editor on the commodity after editing it.
Allow the Securities Editor to stack separately from the main window.
Much more Scheme cleanup and refactoring.
Python console improvements, including switching to Python3 and not killing GnuCash when quitting the console.

New in GNUCash Portable 3.5.1 (May 31, 2019)

New in GNUCash Portable 3.5.0 (Apr 5, 2019)

Changes:
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 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.
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!), Frsnce, Croatia (New!), Germany. Switzerland (French)

New in GNUCash Portable 3.2.0 (Jul 9, 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.

New in GNUCash Portable 2.6.18 (Oct 14, 2017)

New in GNUCash Portable 2.6.17 (Jul 7, 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.

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
The gnc_gui_refresh_all statement in gnc_book_options_dialog_apply_cb causes the 'apply' and 'OK' buttons to be set to sensitive on the open Book Options dialog in some circumstances; this commit causes them to be reset to insensitive, as they should be.
Check printing: make logic easier to follow.
Fix adjust_sql_option_string test on Windows.
Don't try to compile test_adjust_sql_options on windows, it won't link.
Fix the CMake build by linking gnc-backend-dbi for test-backend-dbi.
Improved adjust_sql_options_string, added tests.
Improve quickfill performance on huge registers.
Mac Localization: Prefer the country to the language for fall-back locales, on the theory that in countries where multiple languages are in use similar date and number formats will apply regardless of language, and especially that the default currency will be the same regardless of language. Also ensure that the specified language is in the list passed to gettext; the net effect of which is that the user will effectively get the requested localization behavior.

Fix test failure due to trying to parse nanoseconds, which we don't actually use.

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
[22224] Bug #671323 - Scheduled monthly transactions lose "except on weekends" setting when using MySQL
[22229] Bug #678214 - GnuCash fails to open some post-processed XML files Patch by Daniel Harding
Bug #677570 - Error creating net worth linechart report Remove doubled file contents. Changeset 21628 has already done this for trunk.
Add formatting to table. Add cell padding to columns in table.
Bug #677570 Error creating net worth linechart report Revert "Added user settable line width and data point markers to net worth" Removed entire commit in order to make report work. Details of error still need to found so that the feature can be reinstated. This reverts r21644. Note, this feature works in trunk.
[22197]Add EXTRA_CFLAGS for compiling on Win7 Configure gets confused by some gcc builtins on Win7: Disable them so that configure finds the right settings.
Add EXTRA_CFLAGS to inst_gnucash compile line so that cflags can be added by custom.sh
[r22171][Bug 674862] Gnucash crashes after creating a new SX using the Mortgage Wizard and SQL Backend This addresses the crash reported on Ubuntu with Postgres by Krzysiek. The stack trace he posted showed the crash was the result of dereferencing a NULL GDate*, and this change protects against that. It still doesn't address the more basic problem of why on Win32 and with mysql and pgsql (but not SQLite3) the mortgage wizard is writing corrupt dates.

[22097] [Win32 build] Update gwenhywfar/aqbanking versions.
[22090] Revert r22083, "Adapt German account templates to updated tax rate." A pure renaming is not the correct solution, I've been told.
[22083] Adapt German account templates to updated tax rate.
[22067] Remove potentially abandoned file (that has a GPLv2-only license, too). The last contributors here, Josh Sled and Chris Lyttle, have put their code under "GPLv2 and GPLv3" license, see r22063, but I'm too lazy to look up the copyright holders on the file as a whole so I'd rather remove it. If someone wants to add a similar packaging file again, feel free to do so, but please don't use GPLv2-only code to do so.
[22066] Bug #670727: Extend license of 3 files to be GPLv2 and GPLv3. This has been granted by the gnumeric copyright holders. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670727#c7
[22063] Bug #670727: Clarify license of a file to be GPLv2 and GPLv3 gnc-dense-cal.h: License remark was forgotten in r19507, but the author Josh Sled agreed on GPLv2 and GPLv3 licensing in his gnucash-devel message on 2010-08-28.
Fix skipping of alternate rows when there is a customer id mis-match and fix gtk_entry_set_text errors. Fix already exists in trunk.
Revert "Fix skipping of alternate rows when there is a customer id mis-match." Doesn't fully work. Will redo. This reverts commit 63c4689a36aa042564d7c29b40ee970533e3d81f.

[21905] Bug #668196: Fix installation of python bindings With this patch, files are correctly installed together. Patch by Vincent Untz.
[22018] Bug 632931: Advanced Portfolio: total gains does not include income - new column layout as suggested on bugzilla. Total return is now an amount (not a percentage), and includes income as well as capital gains. New column "Rate of return" gives the percentage. - changed default value for "Ignore brokerage fees when calculating returns", the default is now to NOT ignore the fees. Patch by Sebastien Alborini
[22012] Bug #669494 - Swedish account plan provided (BAS 2012) Additionally this commit adds some required changes to get the Swedish account plans to actually show up in GnuCash (both BAS and the earlier committed Swedish small business account plan)
[22011] Fix a GtkWarning in the Account Hierarchy Druid which occurs if the Example Account file doesn't contain a long description.
Fix translatable strings code for tax invoice report.
Fix translatable strings code for some reports. Patch provided by Aurimas Fišeras.
[21978] Move the features tests to its own source files. This allows for - other engine consumers to use the features test as well (think CuteCash, python bindings,...) - a central point for developers to check for feature definitions - a central point to manage all feature related code
