Documentation

Concurrent with the release of GnuCash 5.0 we're pleased to also release a new version of the companion Manual and Tutorial and Concepts Guide

Note that the document formerly titled Help is now the Manual

The installation of the documentation has changed to match the XDG-Documentation recommendations so that recent releases of Gnome Desktop's Yelp can find it.

Getting GnuCash for Windows and MacOS

GnuCash is provided for both Microsoft Windows 8.1® and later and MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra)® and later in pre-built, all-in-one packages. An installer is provided for Microsoft Windows® while the MacOS® package is a disk image containing a drag-and-drop application bundle.

Don't adjust report dates with time64CanonicalDayTime. They're set to 23:59:59 local which is always >= neutral time at which prices and transactions are timestamped. Local noon is before neutral time for all time zones east of UTC+2.
Bug 798679 - Unicode normalization should be used for comparison but not stored.
Change to NFC normalization for all comparisons because the Unicode meaning of compatible might collide with the user's intent.
Bug 798702 - Crash in gnc_plugin_page_focus_idle_destroy() closing a report before it completes.

Bug 798747 - Crash in Investment Portfolio report
Bug 798748 - Transaction Notes field's value does not appear in reverse transaction.
Bug 798754 - Build fails with gcc 13 and glib > 2.76
Bug 798759 - Register widths for 'with sub-account' not saved

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

Budget totals for one period would be wrong when increasing the number of periods.
Allow C decls after statements, legal since C99.
[kvp] Use static strings and boxed in gvalue_from_kvp_value. Saves allocating and copying complex values, avoiding potential memory leaks.
L10N:DE:Updating accounts from 0001 to 8000 DATEV-SKR04 2022-01-01.
Payment dialog - always list all possible post accounts. Before only the post account in the currency of the selected vendor or customer was available.
Revisit invoice payment in multi-currency context
- Show proper amount in dialog when applying or editing an existing transaction as payment
- Be more careful not to waste the existing payment split
- If the user changed the payment amount while starting from an existing transaction unreconcile the changed payment split
- Avoid needlessly changing transaction currency (only do so if the user chose a new transfer account and the old currency is neither the new transfer account's currency nor the post account's currency)
Edit/assign payment - be more prudent not to lose data
We can't handle the case where a transaction has splits in more than one APAR account. Instead of only warning that some of them will be lost refuse to continue and leave it to the user to fix the transaction first.
Multi-currency - show split amount rather than transaction value
Activate feature GNC_FEATURE_EQUITY_TYPE_OPENING_BALANCE
[balsheet-pnl] move out of experimental into regular menu. After 4 years it can finally graduate.
[dialog-sx-editor]Allow a daily SX to show all recurrences in the calendar instead of only 6 months.
Update Form/Schedule line references for 2022 for the US Income Tax Report

GnuCash 4.904 Released Pre-release

Pre-release

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.904, the fifth 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.
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.
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.

Between 4.903 and 4.904, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:

Bug 798570 - Budget totals for income, expenses and remaining to budget incorrect for one specific date.

The following fixes are in 4.904 only and will not appear in GnuCash 4.14:

Bug 798558 - Irregular line spacing in Account Tree View
Bug 798773 - Help file launches in browser when using command-H to hide GnuCash
This is a MacOS-only problem. Note that for the fix to have effect you must remove the file accelerator-map from GNC_CONFIG_HOME when GnuCash isn't running.
Bug 798778 - GnuCash quits abruptly when attempting to edit options for certain reports.
Bug 798781 - Printing multiple checks prints duplicate checks
Bug 798787 - gnc-register-owner-option currently broken

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

Fix quotes codecvt to wchar_t error on Windows.
Budget totals for one period would be wrong when increasing the number of periods.
Change the handling of accelerator maps. Gtk no longer supports changing these from the menus and the save no longer writes out the accelerators that have their default values, so to assist users editing them we have generated default ones that we include with GnuCash and have disabled saving when quitting GnuCash. At startup GnuCash will check for the presence of the file accelerator-map in GNC_CONFIG_HOME and if it's not found will copy in the default one.
Properly parse plus signs while importing numbers in a CSV file.
Fix CSV price import file loading.
CsvImport - actually do as the warning indicates: If an invalid column is found in a preset, replace it with a NONE column, rather than not inserting a column at all.

New and Updated Translations: Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Hungarian, Japanese, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Swedish

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.

Bug 798748 - Transaction Notes field's value does not appear in reverse transaction.
Bug 798754 - Build fails with gcc 13 and glib > 2.76
Bug 798759 - Register widths for 'with sub-account' not saved
Bug 798600 - CSV import of multi-split security transactions fails to load capital gain
Transactions with capital gains processing can have splits in transaction currency with a zero amount and a non-zero value. To properly import those, prefer the value column even if transaction currency equals account commodity. Previous (wrong) assumption was that in case of a same-currency split, the amount would always be the value.

Update csv transaction export format to include split values. In the csv importer the 'GnuCash Export Format' option will now include values. For compatibility with filex exported from older gnucash versions the previous preset is still available under the name 'GnuCash Export Format (4.x and older)'.

The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:

Bug 782141 - Import CSV - Multi-currency support can cause rounding errors
Replace the column types 'Deposit' and 'Withdrawal' with 'Amount' and 'Amount (Negated)' that are conceptually applicable more widely. Also introduce column types 'Value' and 'Value (Negated)' to allow construction of splits in commodities different from the transaction currency. While Value is the number in the transaction currency, always use 'Amount' in single-currency transactions.
Bug 793306 - Price is not imported from CSV
Bug 796955 - Import CSV - Single-line two-currency transactions can't be imported
Bug 797033 - The CSV Importer should not obey with the "automatic digital point" setting
Bug 797383 - Import transaction via CSV selects the commodity as a currency, results in an invalid transaction that is uneditable, and a corrupted price database.
Change the transaction currency to the from or base account's parent account currency if the from or base account is not denominated in a currency. This allows to import stock transactions directly into the stock account.
Bug 797903 - Transaction window: The 'blue line' is always (erroneously) topmost when t. sorting order is inverted.
Bug 798334 - Importing transactions from CSV with space as thousand separator
Bug 798572 - Parse numbers with two minus signs as a positive numbers
Bug 798691 - Memo field not updated on CSV import using U+C
Bug 798732 - : Type of balance carry forward accounts for german skr49 account template fixed
The accounts listed are of the EQUITY type and not ASSET.
Bug 798749 - Fails to read gsettings on startup
Bug 798753 - UX improvements in new import dialog
Bug 798763 - "Manage Document Link" keyboard shortcut is missing

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.
[dialog-employee] toggle sensitivity instead of visibility of GncAccountSel
[eguile-utilities.scm] remove fmtnumber
deprecated in maint.
Sort the gnc tree view column menu
Delete action on account page not disabled on edits.
L10N:DE:Updating accounts from 0001 to 8000 DATEV-SKR04 2022-01-01
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
Allow C declarations after statements
Good for declaring variables at point of use

New and Updated Translations: Czech, Hungarian

If the account map doesn't yield a result, try to map the import string against existing accounts' full names
Bug 796955 - Import CSV - Single-line two-currency transactions can't be imported
- Use a provided price if the transfer account uses a different commodity from the base account's; apply it as transfer amount = base amount * price.
- Add a transfer amount column option to avoid the rounding that might arise from having an inexact price.
Bug 797756 - Currency format setting is ignored
Bug 798292 - csv Import Transactions Ignores Multi-Splits
Bug 798475 - GNCAccountSel could have shortcuts
Bug 798730 - Open report doesn't remember selected accounts over restart
Bug 798739 - Advanced Portfolio report fails

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

Move the Balance Sheet P&L Report out of experimental into regular menu.
Rename the Deposit and Withdrawal column labels in the CSV import assistant to Amount and Amount(Negated) for clarity when importing into something other than a bank account.
Improve muti-currency invoice payment:
- Show proper amount in dialog when applying or editing an existing transaction as payment.
- Be more careful not to waste the existing payment split
- If the user changed the payment amount while starting from an existing transaction unreconcile the changed payment split
- Avoid needlessly changing transaction currency (only do so if the user chose a new transfer account and the old currency is neither the new transfer account's currency nor the post account's currency) Payment dialog - always list all possible post accounts instead of only those in the currency of the selected vendor or customer
- Refuse to continue when a transaction has splits in more than one AP/AR account to avoid losing data.
Add widget names to import dialogs so they can be manipulated with css
Fix some memory leaks
Ensure original splits are freed in xaccTransRollbackEdit
Add ability to show placeholder and hidden accounts in the GNCAccountSel widget to hide placeholder and hidden accounts. By default these accounts are hidden, but with the use of a secondary icon a popup menu is presented where the list can be configured to show them. Also when the GNCAccountSel is set to a specific account with with gnc_account_sel_set_account, the placeholder and hidden properties are checked and appropriate changes made so the account will be visible.
Activate feature GNC_FEATURE_EQUITY_TYPE_OPENING_BALANCE
Wrap function decls in extern "C" in all headers so that they can be included without wrapping the include statements.

GnuCash 4.900 Released Pre-release

Pre-release

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.900, the first 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.

Between 4.13 and 4.900, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:

Bug 798588 - sx scrubbing was using incorrect free function

Bug 798625 - "Last up through report date" changed in 4.12

Bug 798679 - Unicode normalization should be used for comparison but not stored.

Bug 798702 - Crash in gnc_plugin_page_focus_idle_destroy() closing a report before it completes.

Bug 798705 - New: UI string mismatch: OK vs. Next

Bug 798717 - Reports > Business > Fancy Invoice duplicates company details

The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:

Bug 403979 - Balance column shows only low order digits when too narrow
If the column is too narrow to display the whole number it will display the leading digits with an ellipsis (…).
Bug 769256 - Change New Account Dialog
Rearrange the New and Edit Account dialog to move the parent selector under the description field followed by the account type as a combo (i.e. drop down) list.

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

Unicode normalization for string matches is changed from NFKC to NFC. This means that font and positional variants will no longer match and is unlikely to affect most users. See Unicode Normalization Forms:Canonical and Compatibility Equivalence for the technical details.
The Gtk menu structure has been rewritten to use the newer GMenu/GMenuModel system. This change is mostly invisible to users, except that to keep menu accelerators (like <cmd>Q to quit) working on macOS we had to let macOS handle the events. That will affect using cut, copy, and paste in dialog boxes because the menu will intercept them. That's temporary, we hope to have it fixed for GnuCash 4.901.
The Finance::Quote interface is rewritten in C++. This new design will allow much better capture of diagnostics from Finance::Quote making troubleshooting problems much easier.
The perl Finance::Quote utilities gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper are removed and new commands added to gnucash-cli: --quotes info replaces gnc-fq-check and --quotes dump replaces gnc-fq-dump.

New API: The options system has been rewritten in C++ with Scheme wrappers for report options. While this is invisible to most users, those who have written custom reports should look for deprecation warnings when the custom reports are reconciled. The main difference is that option creation and registration is now done in a single function call. Nearly all standard code defined a local convenience function that wrapped the two steps, for example

        (let* ((options (gnc:new-options))
               (add-option
                 (lambda (new-option)
                  (gnc:register-option options new-option)))))

called as

        (add-option
        (gnc:make-string-optionpagename title key docstring default-value))

The convenience function is no longer needed, call

        (let* ((options (gnc-new-optiondb)))
        ...
        (gnc-register-string-option options pagename title key docstring default-value)

intead. Note that gnc:new-options is now gnc-new-options. There are several similar changes. All of these are wrapped in bindings/guile/options.scm with the old names, but are marked to raise deprecation warnings to encourage you to change. The wrappers will be removed in GnuCash 6.0.

Deprecations: See the deprecation warnings in options.scm as noted above.

New and Updated Translations: Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil)

Documentation

Concurrent with the release of GnuCash 4.900 we're pleased to also release a new version of the companion Manual and Tutorial and Concepts Guide

We've made some structural changes and one addition:

The former Help Manual is renamed The Manual and is now in a directory so named. The redundant 'gnucash' prefix is removed.
The source directorystructure is rearranged to reflect the installation, with the languages being the top level with each having guide and manual subdirectories.
Added a Quotes Info example with a sorted and formatted source list.
Replaced the obsolete ghelp installation file layout with one based on the XDG help specification.

GnuCash 4.12 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.12, the thirteenth release in the stable 4.x series

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

Deprecations: None.

GnuCash 4.11 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.11, the twelfth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.10 and 4.11, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

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.
[assistant-stock-transaction] dividends must include stock account.
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.
[assistant-stock-transaction] better Dr/Cr imbalance error message
