The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.10, the tenth release in the stable 5.x series.

Between 5.9 and 5.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Tabs now close when you middle-click on them.
  • The SX editor's saved duration and height are stored differently in preferences so values previously saved will be lost when switching between versions 5.9 and 5.10 (and later). We regret the inconvenience but the new scheme better matches GnuCash's use of the preferences.
  • Allow 0 cash amount when using the Stock Assistant to create a sell transaction. This might happen if the commission and fees exactly balance the proceeds of the sale.
  • Enforce searching for our gsettings schema files first where they were installed. This was not done when the installation prefix was /usr or /usr/local which could potentially cause gnucash to find other schema files first.
  • Set tooltip text on the outer tab container again so that it can be updated by main_window_update_page_long_name.
  • Tooltips on chart reports now appear any time the pointer hovers in the chart area and reflect the nearest point. Previously the pointer had to be very close to a point.
  • Updated the quote source lists in the Security Editor dialog to reflect the current Finance::Quote version.
  • Display a warning dialog when a transaction is unbalanceable because the user has set a minimum fraction on an account smaller than the security's fraction in a book using trading accounts.
  • Deleting a commodity will fail if there are accounts denominated in the commodity. When reporting the error to the user list those accounts.
  • Correct in Tips of the Day the IRC network where GnuCash's channel can be found.
  • Ensure Python bindings Session constructor loads the session's data.
  • Fix compile failures with Boost 1.87. This requires the minimum Boost version to be 1.67, removing the option for distributions to patch older versions.
  • Prevent deleting an account with an open register from logging spurious errors
  • Check that GUI refreshes are not suspended before calling gnc_gui_refresh_all.
  • Unify wording for alphavazntage tooltips.
  • New script to update translator-credits.

    See POD for usage instructions.

  • Document cmake 3.14 requirement set a year ago.

German AQBanking Users:

The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code finalized so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the last stable version, 6.5.4. The GnuCash nightly builds have beta releases with the new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable AQBanking doesn't work for you.
