The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.902, the second unstable release leading to GnuCash 5.0.

This is an unstable release for testing purposes. Do not use it with production data! Make a copy of your book to test this release.

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.

  • The report generated by the Print Invoice button on the Edit Invoice tab can now be configured as a book option at teh 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.

Between 4.901 and 4.902, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Always use the Company Name from book options in reports, removing the Company Name report option.
  • Fix the register sheet being insensitive when in reverse order
  • Allow C decls after statements.

    Legal since C99.

  • Make the scheme tests fail immediately if they load an external gnucash file.
  • [c++options] Restore the ability to set plot sizes in pixels.
  • [c++ options] Restore forward & backward compatibility, fix crash.
  • CsvTokenizer - add additional test case for escaped quotes

    It simulates the case where csv fields are fully quoted and an escaped quote ("") is found in some field. This case is handled correctly, adding the test to guard this in potential future modifications.

    deprecated in maint.

  • Sort the gnc tree view column menu

  • GSettings migration: Ensure that the current version is set on a new GnuCash installation and that migrations applicable to versions of GnuCash later than the current one do not run.
  • Turn on -Wunused
  • Rename Hellow World report to Sample Report.
  • Generic Importer - allow user to modify exchange rates for unbalanced transactions.
  • Make logging accessible from python modules

New and Updated Translations: Czech, Hungarian

Help translate GnuCash on Weblate.

Translators note that there is a new project Program-beta on weblate for this unstable branch. Having twice the strings causes us to exceed the free account limit, but Weblate has so far just warned us about it. If we need to change the branch we'll announce it on gnucash-devel.
