GnuCash 2.6.17 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.17, the seventeenth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series.

Changes

Between 2.6.16 and 2.6.17, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Fix crash on Mac when trying to create or edit an AQBanking User. (gnucash-on-osx)
  • Properly define the template namespace rather than using a local string everywhere
  • Correctly store time64 0 in the SQL backend: The SQL backend ignored time64 0 when saving dates. time64 is a perfectly valid timestamp (1970-01-01 00:00:00) and should be stored.
  • Clamp time64 values passed to GDateTime functions to the valid range. Fixes a bug reported on the mailing list wherein a date of 0000-00-00 in a MySql database would crash GnuCash. Such dates may come from a bad conversion of 1970-01-01 or from a crash.
  • Add XSU to iso-4217-currencies
  • Some banks include additional purpose information for a transaction in non-swift-section 17 (aka transaction text). If available, this transaction text is put in front of the other purpose texts to provide full transaction information. Adds a preference to control import behaivour of transaction text.

Translation Updates: Arabic, Japanese, Serbian, Spanish, Turkish

Important update notification

If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.

Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.

GnuCash 2.6.13 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.13, the twelfth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Please take the tour of all the new features.

Changes

Between 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • The gnc_gui_refresh_all statement in gnc_book_options_dialog_apply_cb causes the 'apply' and 'OK' buttons to be set to sensitive on the open Book Options dialog in some circumstances; this commit causes them to be reset to insensitive, as they should be.
  • Check printing: make logic easier to follow.
  • Fix adjust_sql_option_string test on Windows.
  • Don't try to compile test_adjust_sql_options on windows, it won't link.
  • Fix the CMake build by linking gnc-backend-dbi for test-backend-dbi.
  • Improved adjust_sql_options_string, added tests.
  • Improve quickfill performance on huge registers.
  • Mac Localization: Prefer the country to the language for fall-back locales, on the theory that in countries where multiple languages are in use similar date and number formats will apply regardless of language, and especially that the default currency will be the same regardless of language. Also ensure that the specified language is in the list passed to gettext; the net effect of which is that the user will effectively get the requested localization behavior.
  • Update README to refer to wiki Submitting_Patches and regarding pull request policy.

Translation Updates: Dutch, Russian, Serbian

Standard Chart-of-Accounts Localizations Updates: Finnish, Sweden_Finnish, and Åland Islands Finnish.

  • Be more liberal in accepting business counter custom formats: li, lli, I64i, and whatever is defined to G_GINT_64 or PRIx64 on the system on which GnuCash is compiled.
  • Correctly re-value splits when the transaction currency is changed.
  • Reset the transaction currency to match the currently open account when auto-completing.
  • Refine the MacOS X localization when the system-generated POSIX locale isn't a supported locale: Prefer the country to language when selecting an alternate locale, but still pass the original language to gettext.
  • Check printing: extract address from invoice/bill for payment transactions.

Robert Fewell has contributed changes needed to allow the 2.6 series to read files from future major versions which use GUIDs instead of names to identify matched accounts with the Bayesian import matcher.

2015-12-20

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.10, the tenth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Please take the tour of all the new features.

Changes

Between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Revert the automatic inversion of prices whose value is less than 1.0. This corrects several regressions from 2.6.8 and 2.6.9; it proved to be to big a change for a maintenance branch and will re-appear in the next major release.
  • Fix test failure due to trying to parse nanoseconds, which we don't actually use.
  • Use @shell@ instead of hardcode /bin/sh in test shell scripts. This is a workaround for MacOS X 10.11's System Integrity Protection.
  • Improve the revert action: Ask user confirmation and don't ask to save before reverting.
  • Have a more generic mechanism to set Save action's sensitivity and use it for Revert action as well.
  • Avoid assert in gnc_split_register_balance_trans if default_account is null.
  • Performance improvements in the Cash Flow report.
  • Add new account chart for Duch small businesses.
  • Add some developer documentation.
