4.902

1 year ago

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 will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:

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

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.

4.900

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.

Between 4.13 and 4.900, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:

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.

4.12

1 year ago

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:

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.

4.11

1 year ago

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

New API:

  • gnc:accounts-and-all-descendants-sorted
  • gnc-accounts-and-all-descendantsNone

Deprecations:

  • gnc:account-path-less-p
  • gnc:accounts-and-all-descendants

4.10

2 years ago

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", &quotNASDAQ&quot, "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.

4.9

2 years ago

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)

4.7

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?.

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.

  • 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
  • Guide:C:Currency: update images Part 1
  • Fix license file to use actual file instead of softlink.

  • Install license files COPYING and COPYING-DOCS
  • Help/de: Crop Export screenshots
  • Drop travis-ci in favour of github worflows
  • Remove obsolete appendix B about FAQ from guide.
  • Remove obsolete appendix C about VAT from guide.
