The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.6, the seventh release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.5 and 3.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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.

  • gnc:amort_pmt
