The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.10, the eleventh release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.9 and 4.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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.

19 Dec 20:22
Compare
Choose a tag to compare

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:

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:

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?.

GnuCash 4.6 Released

Compare
Choose a tag to compare

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:

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.
  • [test-engine-extras] augment book data generators
  • ignore .vscode folder
  • Reorder and relabel price source list for better coherence
  • Python Bindings: Provide a deprecated GncPriceDB.lookup_latest_before_t64 to avoid breaking user scripts.
  • Update gnucash_core.py with gnc-pricedb function name change
  • Change some functions to use const gnc_commodity for gnc_pricedb
  • Reformat schedule transaction source files for white space
  • Add depreciation warnings for the removal of individual option tool tips
  • Remove individual tool tips from radio button options

    Removes the function gnc_option_permissible_value_description

  • ESC key was not working on load of Scheduled Transaction Editor
  • [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...

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.5, the sixth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.4 and 4.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Fix building based on unix makefiles
  • Make the chart on the report page icon larger to align better with the account page icon.
  • Allow the context menu when GncCellRendererTextView is in edit mode.
  • Restructure early locale initialization
    • Move macOS specific bits to its own source file. As this is objective-c use .mm extension
    • Use common function signature for macOS and Windows init function and include via common header file
  • Fix GncDateTime::format_zulu to emit the UTC timezone instead of the GncDateTime's timezone with the UTC timestamp.
  • Fix the implementations of gnc_foo_get_day_neutral. As implemented these returned 10:59 AM local on the day but neutral time is 10:59 UTC.
  • gnc_invoice_window_print_invoice return NULL if invoice is NULL.
  • [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.

  • Update python/gnucash_business.py to reflect rename of gncOwnerApplyPayment.
  • I18N: don't mark "<<", ">>" translatable

    They get properly reversed for RTL writing

  • From Budget editor, add toolbar and Edit menu to run budget report

    This parallels the invoice editor "Print Invoice" functionality. Runs the budget report using current budget.

  • [gnc-plugin-page-budget] change note icon to a note page
  • Allow the find account dialog position to be saved when using 'X'
  • Update price database for imported transactions.
  • Replace g_memdup by memcpy

    GLib is deprecating g_memdup and will immediately remove it in the next micro-release because of a CVE.

  • [html-fonts] Prevent sup/sub from affecting baseline

    Source: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/prevent-superscripts-and-subscripts-from-affecting-line-height/ Previously <sup> and <sub> would cause the baseline to move vertically.

  • Replace stat calls with GFile to retrieve last modified info

    Avoids code-page problems with non-ASCII characters on Microsoft Windows.

  • [gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c] use xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed

    which is then reversed if required. this removes the need for double reversal.

  • [Split.c]New function xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed

    Same as xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactions but doesn't reverse the list prior to returning. To be used by gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c Several optimizations

    • doesn't call g_list_find and g_list_append for every iteration
    • uses g_hash_table to cache list of txns already added instead of g_list_find<.
    • does not reverse the result, thereby returning a reversed list.

  • [gnc-recurrence.c] avoid O(N^2) children traversal
  • Ensure that any GncMainWindows containing no tabs are destroyed at shutdown.
  • I18N: drop translatable flag from "xxx" dummies and remove trailing spaces from translatable strings
  • Update Form/Schedule line references for 2020 for the US Income Tax Report.
  • Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.

    glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.

  • [balsheet-pnl] Use last day of the month prices instead of first day of next month.

4.3

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.3, the fourth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.2 and 4.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Add custom unbound-variable exception reporter in guile that identifies what module provides the missing symbol.
  • Balsheet-pnl report: show most recent period first by default
  • Change register page icon to a padlock if read only
  • When a resister is read only make whole sheet insensitive.
  • Add account name to the read-only-register dialog box because under some circumstances it may be unclear to which register the message applies.
  • Strictly use use-modules to import Scheme symbols: Guile 3.0 doesn't like the alternatives. This can cause problems resolving symbols if the source of those symbols isn't yet compiled and hasn't been symlinked into the builddir.
  • Don't try to reload report if the first attempt raised an html error.
  • Barcharts: Limit account drill-down depth to 6.
  • I18N:glossary: add mortgage terms ARM, APR, FRM
  • Change the icons used for the file locked dialog box.
  • Add support for the opening balance accounts flag

    Up to now, opening balance accounts have been identified by means of fixed names and their translations. Support Replacing this with a consistent non-translated tag. The actual replacement will be added to Gnucash 4.4; this change is to ensure a migration path.

  • Replace TravisCI with Github actions for CI testing. TravisCI sharply restricted their free support of Free Software projects.
  • Use LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH instead of (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH in environment file.
  • Add a few more CSS classes for labels
  • Add GoogleMocks of some engine objects and refine Import-export unit tests using them.
  • Add auto-clear to register page
  • Change source files dialog-dup-trans.* for space and tabs
  • Fix exception when converting to decimal values that reduce to N/1.
  • Add confirmation of Main Window close when more than one window is displayed
  • Add keyboard shortcuts <Ctrl><Alt><Menu> for the notebook page selection menu and <Ctrl><Alt>A to jump to the Accounts page.
  • Allow using the Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/Down to scroll the report view.
  • Fix report page keyboard focus in the scroll window.
  • Fix some incorrect links to the help file
  • Fix section help on windows not working.
  • Set the visibility of the account column in import-main-matcher depending upon the nubmer of accounts being displayed.
  • Add option to hide memo column on import-main-matcher
  • Fix pressing help button in OFX importer causing main-import-matcher to disappear
  • Preferences dialog: Display the invalid account separator message box only when the user closes the Preferences Dialog instead of after every change to any control.
  • Expose ngettext as gnc:ngettext
  • Add tooltip in import matcher window for description and memo column.
  • Put Macs back on WebKit2.
  • CMake: Mute guile-2.2 again
  • Fix several report stylesheet font-handling issues especially on macOS.
  • Fix price-renderer not converting to decimal.
  • Add some additional places where Check&Repair can be aborted
  • Make the price database list obey the force-prices-to-decimal preference.
  • Several improvements to the auto-clear dialog.
  • Fix some errors found by i18nspector in po files
  • Tax Report Options appeared twice on menu for Chart of Accounts
  • General Journal Report: Allow Report Options>General Title to render document title.
