- Bug 741674 - Newly created Scheduled Transactions appear in existing search windows
- Bug 797501 - Currency symbols in Hebrew (RTL) language

- Bug 798375 - Transfer Account Selection not editable after typing error
- Bug 798386 - Cannot increment date by 1 day with Japanese keyboard.Allow ';' to increment the date because on those keyboards + is shift-;.
- Bug 798391 -OFX import routine keeps prompting for accepted (and reconciled) transactions when imported again

- Bug 798395 - ofxdirectconnect downloads crash gnucash 4.9
- Bug 798408 - The calculation in budgets UI and reports are wrong.
- Bug 798411 - Untranslated/Unused string [pt only]
- Bug 798415 - Due Bills Reminder Dialog - Right align 'amount'This was a right-to-left language (e.g. Hebrew) problem.
- Bug 798435 - Crash on print after printing checks
- Bug 798438 - on reconcile window, click on the last column 'R' does not order the entries according with the status
- Bug 798448 - Column 'num' cannot be null
- Bug 798458 - Build failure with gcc 12
- Bug 798474 - Windows 10: Mouse scroll wheel on register only scrolls 1 pixel at a time (instead of 1 line at a time)
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Added a BETA Stock Transaction Assistant to help create a variety of securities transactions. To try it out start GnuCash with the --extra option, open a stock-type register, and select Actions>Stock Assistant. Please note any issues on Bug 798004.
- Remove the hard-coded default namespaces"AMEX", "NASDAQ", "NYSE", "EUREX", and "FUND" from the New Security dialog. These namespaces were added to the list of existing namespaces; it was necessary to create a commodity that used one of them to make that one an actual namespace, so users who have commodities in e.g. the namespace NYSE will still see that namespace in the selection list. Reasoning: The list was necessarily incomplete and confused new users.
- Fixed the Income Statement report table formating so that all sections get laid out to the same width.
- [Python Bindings]Implement some comparison and arithmetic operators for GncNumeric
- Budgets are sensitive to readonly status
Disable some budget features if book is readonly
- Fix suppression of "cut split/transaction" warnings for the current session
These were not working because they were missing from the temporary warnings settings schema. The warnings could only be dismissed permanently. Add them to the temporary warnings section of the settings schema.
- Currencies in several locations not displayed correctly for Hebrew
- [category-barchart] Added option to show ratios
- [html-chart] Add format style option for numbers
- Better wording for tax table changed info message.
- [register] Checkbox any value other than 0x20 (ASCII space) is true, because it can be X or U+2716 now and could be something else in future. Fixes in particular the disappearing tax-included and tax-table in the Invoice/Bill entry register.
- [Python Bindings]Provide the complete set of QOF enums in gnucash
- [Pyton Bindings]Provide wrapper for qof numeric predicate
Python bindings already have some wrapping objects for qof predicates. This adds the one missing for GncNumeric comparisons. Additionally fixes a wrong number for QOF_NUMERIC_MATCH_ANY in example file.
- Remove commodity-table.scm, no longer required after adjusting qif-dialog-utils
- Preferences, Import: UPDATE AND RECONCILE should be UPDATE AND CLEAR on preference "Enable update match action" tooltip text.
- [register] Enable horizontal scrolling with a touchpad.
- [business]Add diagnostic messages to GncEntry and GncInvoice.
- Replace code style guidance with reference to the wiki Coding Standard page.
- Update Form/Schedule line references for 2021 for the US Income Tax Report
- Update the register help label when cell read only
- Change AR/AP Type cell to be read only. The Type cell in AR/AP registers should not be changeable from the register so make the cell read only.
- Tip-of-the-Day, new tip: the full file path is shown in the status bar.
- [assistant-qif-import] Prevent ambiguous mnemonic
Mnemonic N clashes with GtkAssistant "Next". Change to D which does not clash.
- Numerous performance and code-clarity improvements.

GnuCash 4.9 Released.
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.9, the tenth release in the stable 4.x series
Between 4.8 and 4.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 797502 - (RTL) - Right edge of the reports are locked while scrolling down
Running gnucash in Hebrew, the right edge of the reports are locked while scrolling down and do not scroll with the rest of the report.
- Bug 797618 - Spanish translation of Shares and Stock
- Bug 797678 - OFX importer should supplement, not replace, existing Notes (and Description and Memo) fields
Add an "Append" checkbox to the bottom of the "Generic import transaction matcher" window to the left of the "Reconcile after match" checkbox. When ticked, this causes the imported Description/Notes to be appended to the matched transaction Description/Notes respectively. The selected ticked/unticked state of the "Append" checkbox is saved in a key value pair for the import account, so the next import for that account will automatically default it to the saved state. As these mods are limited to the code for the matcher window, this should work for all the imports that use it - ie ofx & csv file imports (both tested) & aqbanking (cannot test).
- Bug 797772 - Allow reconciliation report to double filter by both posting and reconciliation date
- Bug 798222 - Account search dialog: Pushing enter does nothing
- Bug 798266 - Dropdown picker menu for category does not appear
- Bug 798313 - "File/Import/Import Transactions From CSV" crashes Gnucash.
- Bug 798320 - Error message indicating a crash of GNUcash when closing application - MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1419)
- Bug 798325 - New Currency for Venezuela (VED)
- Bug 798327 - Ofx import stops too early for multi-account OFX and one account has no new transactions
- Bug 798335 - No longer possible to change trading account
Strip trading splits only if "Use Trading Accounts" is enabled for the book so that users who want to manage trading accounts by hand may do so.
- Bug 798341 - Right align in Hebrew - Account screen
- Bug 798346 - crashes when running check & repair
- Bug 798352 - Decimal Precision when Entering Mutual Fund Transaction
Let xaccParseAmount parse up to 12 decimal places instead of 8.
- Bug 798382 - Typo corrections in comments
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- More memory leak plugging and GList efficiency improvements.
- Fix build with cmake older than 3.18
3.18 introduced 'cmake -E cat', but we still have to support versions starting from 3.14.
- [account-piecharts] don't use gnc:make-internal-option
- Several improvements to the experimental IFRS cost-basis report.
- Fix two minor issues with displaying links in the Document Link dialog.
- Fix obsolete links to bugzilla.gnome.org in translations.
- L18N: Fix glossary/es.po:906: duplicate message definition...
901: ...this is the location of the first definition
- [budget-flow] delay creating exchange-fn until a valid budget exists
because it needs budget period end-date.
- [options.scm] Addon previous commit... need to initialize with guid
- [options.scm] gnc:make-budget-option stores guid instead of object
because object may become stale if UI is used to delete it, leading to stale pointer and segfault. storing guid is safer, and will return null if budget is deleted.
- support SEPA internal transfer
- Fix issue with failure to run reconciliation with all accounts present in a multi-account OFX file. Do that by saving a GList of statements, rather than a pointer to a single one. Also freeing of info happens during the call to process_next_file.
- Import of OFX files with many securities opens too many matching dialogs Because ofx import is currently split per target account, and since each security has its own accounts, importing such OFX is a tedious process. The fix is to only split the transactions if we identify a potential transfer, currently based on amount, date and accounts. To do that, we insert transactions one by one into a list, making sure we have not already inserted one that has the same date, and the same absolute amount. If we have, we keep this potential transfer for a second phase. A naive approach would loop through added transactions for each new transaction by that ends up being O(N^2), which matters if we have many transactions. Instead, I'm using a hash to make this O(N log N).
- [date-utilities.scm] remove unused date selectors code & string
- Adjust GNC_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_END
To match new signature of g_once_init_enter and g_once_init_leave.
- Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.
glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.
- Add explanatory note for gnc_add_scheme_deprecated_module test code
The immediate parent commit removes old deprecated scheme modules. Link to the old modules for example code.
- [test-engine-extras] don't create splits of opposing amt/value signs
Splits' value and amount should never be of opposite signs. Fix test book which had created this incorrect value/amount pair. Strengthen env-create-multisplit-transaction to disallow test book errors.
- [dialog-search] another QofQuery "q" must be destroyed
because qof_query_merge creates a newly allocated QofQuery, its 2 QofQuery must be freed separately.
- [trep-engine] new option "Date Filter" to specify dates to filter by
- [dialog-sx-since-last-run] don't allocate repeatedly to combine strings
- [test-transaction] "Report Currency" renamed to "Report's currency"
- Separate the warnings for "cut split/transaction" and "delete split/transaction"
- [gnc-autoclear] Move autoclear algorithm into gnome-utils
- GSettings - fix GObject warning when old prefs-version is unset
This will happen when current master (future 5.0) has been run at least once.
- [utest-gnc-pricedb] add tests for gnc_price_list_equal
Also need to change PWARN which causes test failure, to PINFO
- [reconcile-view][bug] dr/cr query tests amount instead of value
Because split->amount and split->value are generally of equal sign, EXCEPT in stock transactions whereby split->value can be zero and split->amount is non-zero. e.g. a stock split transaction. Querying the split amount instead will allow stock accounts with stock splits to be reconciled.
- [split-register-model.c] Hide price==1 for zero-amount splits
mainly of interest in zero-amount zero-value splits in the stock register eg dividend splits.
- [core-utils] introduce gnc:format
(gnc:format str [binding value]...) str will contain ${binding} which will be replaced to value.
- [import-main-matcher] show destination acct for auto-match
- GSettings - add 'deprecate' and 'obsolete' conversions for user preferences
'deprecate' is technically a noop. It serves to remind maintainers the 'deprecated' preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'obsolete' goes one step further in that it will cause gnucash to reset the preference, effectively clearing the value stored in the preferences backend. This is the final phase of a preference. Following this it will be completely removed from the GSettings schema in the next major release. Notes * 'deprecate' and 'migrate' are related. Both are a reminder the preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'deprecate' does only that though while 'migrate' will also trigger a copy of the old value to a new location in the databse. * This commit readds a couple of preferences that had been removed in the past to be able to properly obsolete them (and to test the obsoleting code)

GnuCash is now available as a flatpak from Flathub.org. Instructions for installing and running.
To compile GnuCash from the source code by yourself, you will need at least Gtk+ 3.22.29, Guile 2.0, Boost 1.67, WebKitGtk 2.4, GoogleTest 1.8.0, cmake 3.10 and SWIG 2.0.12. Please consult the README.dependencies file in the sources for the exact list of dependencies and versions.
About the Program
GnuCash is a free, open source accounting program released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and available for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, MacOS, and Microsoft Windows. Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable release was in 1998.
GnuCash 4.7 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.7, the eighth release in the stable 4.x series
Compatibility Notice
In order to allow flatpak users to share preferences with installations outside of the sandbox we need to change the preference path from /org/gnucash to /org/gnucash/GnuCash. This release of GnuCash does that and it will automatically migrate existing preferences. It does not, however, continue to write preferences to the old path and it runs the migration only once. If you go back and forth between GnuCash 4.7 and an older versions you'll have two sets of preferences, one for GnuCash 4.7 and later and another for GnuCash 4.6 and earlier. This includes the file history list and last-opened file.
Between 4.6 and 4.7, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 87847 - RFE: Create a 'checkbox' cell type
- Bug 766052 - Job report payments wrong when payment contains splits
- Bug 797596 - New-owner - improved representation of payments with multiple non-APAR splits
- Bug 798142 - Tax rate appears as a fraction
- Bug 798180 - Update to macOS Big Sur 11.3 breaks Finance Quote
- Bug 798205 - Some transactions dropped with no apparent cause or warnings for credit card ofx import
Do not exclude from import a transaction that has an FITID which matches an already existing split. This is because it (1) may be a coincidence and therefore the transaction needs to be added or (2) could be on a transfer from the account being imported to another bank account which has already been imported, and so needs to be matched, not added.
- Bug 798208 - management fee transactions are ignored on OFX import
- Bug 798211 - Equity statement double calculates unrealized gain
- Bug 798219 - apply/OK truncates exchange rates from 4 to 2 decimal places; enter doesn't
- Bug 798221 - Transfer funds between accounts with different currencies crashes Gnucash on macOS
- Bug 798224 - Scheduled transactions are created with date-entered copied from the template transaction.
- Bug 798229 - GncDate::c_formats is being created and destroyed twice resulting in a double free crash on every exit.
- Bug 798234 - Cut Transaction discards the reference to the description/memo strings so that Paste Transaction will paste uninitialised data (or other strings)
- Bug 798235 - Reconciliation Ending Balance not recalculated the 2nd and subsequent times Statement Date is updated.
- Bug 798237 - Logging during XML file loading degrades performance significantly
- Bug 798238 - "New security" dialog doesn't save the "Display symbol"
- Bug 798250 - Gnucash permanent hang on save while loading report
- Bug 798256 - Crash in recnFinishCB
- Bug 798298 - Re-imported transactions no longer ignored
- Bug 798303 - account list is sorted wrong by amount
- Bug 798312 - Opening the help for dialogues in the wrong language.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Lots of memory-leaks plugged
- Change the preferences path to org.gnucash.GnuCash to comply with flatpak requirements and migrate existing preferences to the new paths. This won't provide for automatic sync between a system-installed GnuCash and a flatpak one unless the system-installed one is GnuCash 4.7 or later. Please see the Wiki for more information and a procedure to convert your existing preferences.
- Cleanup - minimal glib=2.56.1 - drop all conditionals on older versions
- Add code to handle ofx files that include transfers between accounts
- During transaction import, ignore splits whose account is not the destination account
- Do not drop a potential match just because it has an online_id.
Now that we don't exclude from import a transaction with an FITID that matches an already existing transaction, if one accidentally re-imports a transaction, this allows it to be automatically matched against the previously imported transaction.
- Add test for Transaction GetDate() in python bindings, pursuant to Bug 798284.
- In find customer dialog, add a column for "Shipping Contact" parameter
- Prep early splash screen messages for translation
- Change text for SX preference option 'Review created transactions' to better align with existing SX text.
- Fixed an XML backend problem where trying to open a locked file would clear the lock even if one didn't ask to, so the next attempt would find the file unlocked even if still open in another instance.
- Fix 2 crashes in Generic Transaction Matcher
- Handle very large denominators from Finance::Quote's OpenExchange source
- Update file extension in man pages per mailing list post.
- Changed some option names:
- From "Show Accounts until level" to "Levels of Subaccounts"
- From "Extra notes" to "Extra Notes"
- from "Report title" to "Report Title"
- From "Invoice number" to "Invoice Number" to ensure it matches all other invoice reports.
- Fix missing mnemonic keys after changes to GNCAmountEdit
With the changes to GNCAmountEdit, the way the mnemonic keys are associated to the entry widget of the GNCAmountEdit needs to change so have created a function gnc_amount_edit_make_mnemeonic_target which does the same as GNCDateEdit.
- Fix rounding in Stock Split Assistant to correct earlier commit that rounded the share price to that of the currency.
- [Portfolio Reports] Allow share digits to 9 decimal places to match the maximum commodity fraction.
New API
- None
Deprecations
- Date options with a time of day setting.
Removing the only use, an example in hello-world.scm. GnuCash doesn't use this value in any of its own report options and the feature will be removed in GnuCash 5. Related to bug 798297 Pref "Use 24-hour clock" obsolete?.

- Bug 798226 - minor mistakes in Tutorial and Concepts guide 2
- Bug 798226 - postprocessing: xmlformat
- Bug 798236 - Remove comment about swapped A/P & A/R terminology
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Replace COPYING file from GPL 3 to GPL 2.
- Substantial editing of the C documentation to make the meanings more understandable to translators.
- Apply dtd-locale to help/de/Help_para-assist-intro.xml.
- Add ENTITY(s) prefix guisubmenu, guimenuitem, and guilabel as gsm, gmi, and gl, respectively.
- Move untranslated entity messages from gnc-docbookx.dtd to each locale file.
- Make DTD ENTITY(s) translatable. See docbook/README. Bug 798273 - Consider a entity import system like in docbook-xsl
GnuCash 4.6 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.6, the seventh release in the stable 4.x series
Between 4.5 and 4.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 648335 - Display Created Transactions setting
Add a preference for the 'Review Created Transactions' setting in the 'Since Last Run' dialog so that the default can be specified.
- Bug 743753 - Nearest in time security price selection is incorrect in reports
Add new price source - 'nearest before report date' will ignore prices *after* report date.
- Bug 743999 - Deleting a digit from an existing number greater than four digits in length generates an error message.
Because the grouping is off. Checking grouping on input is pointless so just ignore the grouping separator when parsing number input.
- Bug 753283 - Current Selection Highlight Lost After Transaction Edit in Scheduled Transaction Window
- Bug 787813 - Price change from editing a transaction not reflected in pricedb.
- Bug 794877 - Intro text of "Online Banking Setup" is outdated
- Bug 795804 - Extremely slow save
Only update the status bar when the percentage changes by at least 1% because running the mainloop is expensive on macOS and Microsoft Windows. This speeds up all operations that run the progress bar with overly-fine resolution.
- Bug 796761 - Newline (char(10)) is inserted into the end of the string if copy & paste text from excel into the description field of transaction
- Bug 797787 - Feature request: preference setting to open new tabs adjacent to currently active tab
tests preference; if enabled then new tab inserted after current. if disabled then new tab is at the end.
- Bug 797928 - Since last run asks for security price when no shares traded
- Bug 798093 - Changing the symbol/abbreviation of a security after the trading account was created breaks GnuCash.(Reopened)
- Bug 798133 - Gnucash crash when any custom action is entered
- Bug 798144 - Reconciliation uses different number than entered
If a number was pasted into the balance end value with a currency symbol the number would silently fail on evaluate and cause the wrong value to be used. With previous changes to the GNCAmountEdit widget a warning symbol will indicate a validation error and prevents going forward.
- Bug 798148 - "Accounts" page Present (USD) column uses future prices
- Bug 798151 - Value entry box not tied to associated transaction in Since Last Run assistant
- Bug 798156 - glib 2.68.0 breaks gnucash
- Bug 798159 - Keyboard shortcut bug in 'manage document link'
- Bug 798162 - Type Ahead Initialization Problem
- Bug 798170 - Unbound variable: gnc-budget-lookup when running saved report Budget Report via gnucash-cli
- Bug 798177 - Price of new stock transactions not saved in price database
- Bug 798186 - Incorrect result editting account in register when overtyping a part selection.
- Bug 798188 - The Invoice Editor -> Printable Invoice toolbar button crashes on Windows
- Bug 798196 - not building with Boost 1.76
- Bug 798199 - Pasting invalid value in date column crashes GnuCash
- Bug 798202 - Register input ignores theme on KDE rendering black text on black background
- Bug 798203 - g_assert fault while reversing transaction
- Bug 798204 - Creation of Imbalance Accounts
- Bug 798212 - right-click the down-arrow in the date register changes focus to first split
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Improve transaction sorting on effective num field so that alpha charachters and numbers larger than 1 billion will be ordered. Ordering is now numeric for leading numbers (so that 9 sorts before 10) and lexical beginning with the first non-numeric character. Note that if one of the values begins with an alpha character ordering will be entirely lexical. Lexical sorting is localized; as in the rest of GnuCash only standard ASCII numbers (codepoints U+0030 - U+0039) are treated as numbers.
- Add import preferences for the difference in time considered when matching an existing transaction to an imported one. A difference less than the matching-date-threshold raises the score of the match; a difference greater than match-date-not-threshold lowers the score.
- Add experimental report "IFRS weighted-average cost basis report". This is a work-in-progress to help calculate the cost basis of securities priced in a foreign currency.
- [income-gst-statement] amend headers post Brexit. UK left EU, therefore VAT headers have now changed.
- Plug a bunch of memory leaks.
- Change how the print_info is obtained for the register: Currently the register sets up some 'print_info' values using the default account but if the register is a stock register they should be obtained from a parent account with a currency.
- Change monetary value for gnc_default_share_print_info: Share values are not currencies so set the monetary value to 0 for the GNCPrintAmountInfo
- Parse the register monetary cells for a currency symbol: Add the ability to strip the currency symbol from a registry monetary cell if it is pasted with one so it can be validated.
- SKR-49 Account Template: Add codes 4500-4504, drop a duplicate, correct code 0674.
- [gnc-plugin-page-register] Disable reverse on blank split
- Make balancing transactions with trading accounts easier by removing and recalculating all trading splits. This ensures that there will be only one trading split pair per exchange and relieves the user of having to adjust the trading splits to match the accounting splits.
- Don't bother scrubbing for orphans if there's no transaction currency. If it found one it would try to create an orphan account with no currency which will crash later.
- [chartjs] upgrade chartjs to 2.9.4. Fixes CVE-2020-7746
- [report-core] disallow define-report with incomplete export info. If exporting is allowed, 'export-types and 'export-thunk must both be defined.

- [budget.scm] show correct tooltip for report option
- [html-acct-table] Remove unused 'pre-adjusting balances option
- Bugfix: export-code for category-barchart reports would fail.
This stems from trying to handle file-name when calling export code. Export code no longer require file-name, The export-code returns a string in the html-document object instead. Remove all file-name handling in reports. No backward compatibility issues because most users would not copy a GnuCash >=4.6 report code onto a <4.5 installation.
- [gnucash-cli] improve discoverability of export-type. Formerly, selecting --export-type EXT would dump the cryptic "Report REPORTNAME has no export code". Modify to hint the user on acceptable reports wit...

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

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

- [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.
