4.5 - 28 March 2021
The sixth release of the 4.x stable series.

Between 4.4 and 4.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 783283 - Multi-Currency payments use wrong date
Also properly handles the user clicking the cancel button on the
transfer dialog. It will now just return to the payment window,
waiting for further user input.
Bug 797621 - GnuCash freezes temporarily and sometimes crashes when
selecting Sales Tax Table in Invoices
Bug 797630 - Check for missing dependencies of 'Get Quotes' to avoid
Gnucash crash.
Bug 797906 - GnuCash data file is locked after a "save-as" to mysql
database.
It's more general, any save-as to a different backend type, i.e.
xml->sql or sql->xml, left the previous book locked.
Bug 797924 - Crash when searching for customer to process payment.
Bug 797997 - File gnucash could note be found
On Microsoft Windows when run from a CMD shell and passing a path
that contains non-ASCII characters.
Bug 798019 - Currency rates in OFX file are ignored
Use currency_rate information from OFX file if available. Requires
LibOFX v 0.10.0 or later.
Bug 798044 - Adding splits to a lot is extremely slow
Bug 798060 - Invoices are missing on Customer report after upgrade
Bug 798070 - Opening balance does not update when creating account from
Account Hierarchy
Bug 798078 - Report 'Income Chart' prints stacktrace when end date before
start date
Bug 798085 - Incorrect transactions import of entires with large number
amount
Quicken 2005 introduces U amount which sometimes differs from T amount.
U amount has larger range, and must override T amount whenever they're
not equal.
Bug 798093 - Changing the symbol/abbreviation of a security after the
trading account was created breaks GnuCash.
Makes it possible for the user to rename trading accounts or securities
independent of each other.
Bug 798096 - can't duplicate TX previous to red line threshold
Bug 798098 - Crash popup show when have 3 Windows in OSX
Bug 798100 - Equity totals calculating incorrectly
Prevents creation of non-currency opening balance accounts.
Bug 798101 - Do not #undef __STRICT_ANSI__
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:
Fix building based on unix makefiles
Make the chart on the report page icon larger to align better with the
account page icon.
Allow the context menu when GncCellRendererTextView is in edit mode.
Restructure early locale initialization
* Move macOS specific bits to its own source file. As this is
objective-c use .mm extension
* Use common function signature for macOS and Windows init function
and include via common header file
Fix GncDateTime::format_zulu to emit the UTC timezone instead of the
GncDateTime's timezone with the UTC timestamp.
Fix the implementations of gnc_foo_get_day_neutral. As implemented these
returned 10:59 AM local on the day but neutral time is 10:59 UTC.
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.
Update python/gnucash_business.py to reflect rename of gncOwnerApplyPayment.
I18N: don't mark "<<", ">>" translatable
They get properly reversed for RTL writing
From Budget editor, add toolbar and Edit menu to run budget report
This parallels the invoice editor "Print Invoice" functionality.
Runs the budget report using current budget.
[gnc-plugin-page-budget] change note icon to a note page
Allow the find account dialog position to be saved when using 'X'
Update price database for imported transactions.
Replace g_memdup by memcpy
GLib is deprecating g_memdup and will immediately remove it in the
next micro-release because of a CVE.
[html-fonts] Prevent sup/sub from affecting baseline
Source: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/prevent-superscripts-and-subscripts-from-affecting-line-height/
Previously <sup> and <sub> would cause the baseline to move vertically.
Replace stat calls with GFile to retrieve last modified info
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.
[gnc-recurrence.c] avoid O(N^2) children traversal
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
Update Form/Schedule line references for 2020 for the US Income Tax Report.
Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.
glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.
[balsheet-pnl] Use last day of the month prices instead of first day of
next month.
[options.scm API] Remove canonically-tabbed parent-subtotal-mode
This mode had been marked experimental for 17 years and was never
improved. Any saved reports with this option will be switched to
parent-subtotal-mode enabled.
Accommodate Gwenhywfar 5.5.0 signature change for some GUI callbacks.
This is a breaking change that matters only in Win32. No ifdeffing
because Win32 builds and dependencies are well synchronized.
L10N: Move translation authority for Turkish from the GNU Translation
Project to Weblate.
Make prototypes static for autoclear unit test, fixes build on Debian
Buster.
[income-gst-statement] trep-engine currency section moved
From "General" to "Currency". Missed out in 854c11782 commit
[test-scm-utilities] test-end properly so that test failures set the exit
code correctly
Create opening balance accounts only when there are opening balances.
[qif-file.scm] Don't use match as an identifier
It is a (ice-9 match) keyword.
Change the CSV export account tree header line
Change the headings of the CSV account export header line to be more
friendly which uses existing translations.
[new-owner-report] Don't create empty rows on report when splits have no
entry in the memo field.
[gnc-report] dump backtrace to console when report crashes
Because gnc:backtrace-if-exception, not used anymore, would dump
guile backtrace to console. restore this behaviour.
[report-core] remove 2.6/2.4 compatibility code
[gnucash-commands.cpp] display report errors to stderr

New API:
[report-core.scm] create and expose gnc:render-report
similar to gnc:report-run but *always* returns a 2-element list
containing data OR captured_error
