GnuCash Double-Entry Accounting Program.

4.6

2 years ago

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 with export-code.

New API

  • [report-utilities] Functions to dump splits in whole book:
    • gnc:dump-book - splits grouped by account
    • gnc:dump-all-transactions - splits grouped by transaction
    • gnc:dump-split - dumps single split
  • Rename a couple of gnc-pricedb functions that have not been used:
    • gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_t64
    • gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_any_currency_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_any_currency_t64
  • Add retrieval functions for price before the date given:
    • gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_nearest_before_price_t64 that retrieves the balance using the last price dated before a specified date like today for the preset value.
    • gnc_pricedb_get_nearest_before_price does the retrieval.

Deprecations

  • gnc:get-start-next-year
  • gnc:get-end-next-year
  • gnc:get-start-next-month
  • gnc:get-end-next-month
  • gnc:get-start-next-quarter
  • nc:get-end-next-quarter
  • gnc:get-one-month-ago
  • gnc:get-one-month-ahead
  • gnc:account-code-less-p
  • gnc:account-name-less-p

4.5

3 years ago

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.
  • [options.scm API] Remove canonically-tabbed parent-subtotal-mode

    This mode had been marked experimental for 17 years and was never improved. Any saved reports with this option will be switched to parent-subtotal-mode enabled.

  • Accommodate Gwenhywfar 5.5.0 signature change for some GUI callbacks.

    This is a breaking change that matters only in Win32. No ifdeffing because Win32 builds and dependencies are well synchronized.

  • L10N: Move translation authority for Turkish from the GNU Translation Project to Weblate.
  • Make prototypes static for autoclear unit test, fixes build on Debian Buster.
  • [income-gst-statement] trep-engine currency section moved

    From "General" to "Currency". Missed out in 854c11782 commit

  • [test-scm-utilities] test-end properly so that test failures set the exit code correctly
  • Create opening balance accounts only when there are opening balances.
  • [qif-file.scm] Don't use match as an identifier

    It is a (ice-9 match) keyword.

  • Change the CSV export account tree header line

    Change the headings of the CSV account export header line to be more friendly which uses existing translations.

  • [new-owner-report] Don't create empty rows on report when splits have no entry in the memo field.
  • [gnc-report] dump backtrace to console when report crashes

    because gnc:backtrace-if-exception, not used anymore, would dump guile backtrace to console. restore this behaviour.

4.0

3 years ago

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.0

Changes

Baseline requirements

Operating Systems:

  • Linux: Ubuntu 18.04LTS
  • MacOS: 10.13
  • Windows: 8.1

Software Dependencies:

  • C++ standard is now C++17, requires gcc 8.0 or clang 6.0.
  • Cmake 3.10
  • boost 1.67.0
  • gettext 0.19.6 for general use, 0.20 to generate gnucash.pot.
  • glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
  • googletest 1.8.0
  • ICU, any version.
  • libdbi 0.8.3
  • libxml2 2.9.4
  • swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
  • Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD

New Features

  • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • Business Document Column Widths:

    Entry column widths in Invoices, Bills, and Employee Vouchers may now be saved as defaults for each type of document.

    Two menu items are added to the View menu when a Bill, Invoice, or Voucher tab has focus:

    • Use as Default Layout for Vendor Documents
    • Reset Default Layout for Vendor Documents

    Vendor Documents is for Bills and is replaced by Customer or Employee Documents for Invoices or Vouchers respectively. The first saves the current document's column widths and makes them the default for all documents in the same type. The second menu item removes the customization and documents of that type will therafter use the computed default widths.

  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the Update Association for Transaction menu item that has replaced the two association items in 3.x, allows setting, changing, and deleting associations.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
  • A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.
  • The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time. This does not work on MacOS, which will continue to use a letter.
  • A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
  • Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
  • The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
  • OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
  • Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
  • The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
  • When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
  • New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
  • New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
  • Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
  • Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
  • Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
  • Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
  • Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols for the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
  • GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
  • Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
  • The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
  • The Customer, Vendor, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
  • Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).

New/Revised Reports

  • Income-GST
  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

  • The signature for qof_session_begin(), QofSession::begin(), and QofBackend::begin() are changed to use an enum SessionOpenMode instead of three booleans.
  • gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
    • gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
    • gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
    • gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
    • gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.
    • There's also an auxiliary file, gnucash-windows-locale.c because the localization code proved resistant to compiling as C++. We're planning another auxiliary file for the MacOS localization.
  • A new mock facility for several engine classes to permit better-isolated unit testing of components that depend on those classes.
  • Register filter and sort values are saved in the book's state file (book.gcm) in the user's configdir instead of in the book.
  • QofSession no longer creates its book, instead one must create a book first and pass that to qof_session_new()/QofSession::QofSession().
  • Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
  • gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.
  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 4.0.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
  • Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
  • Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cmake isn't able to find Google test without help.
  • Unit tests for Scheme code with SRFI64.

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0

    • If the recurrence date is before the start date in the current month the SX summary dialog would show the next occurrence in the current month, before the start date.
    • If the recurrence date is one day before the start date the calendar control would incorrectly mark the first instance in the starting month.
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 18th, with a start date on the 20th and an end date on the 17 of the following month. The calendar should show no mark, but fails to erase the marks that were present.

    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • The new reports introduced in the Experimental Reports menu are moved to the main menu and the old reports hidden; the old reports can be unhidden by running GnuCash from the commandline with the --extra argument. That will cause the old reports to appear in their regular locations on the menu labeled (legacy). Note that new reports use different options and layouts and you may need to adjust your saved report configurations.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the Update Association for Transaction menu item that has replaced the two association items in 3.x, allows setting, changing, and deleting associations.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
  • A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.
  • The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time.
  • A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
  • Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
  • Add option to save Layout for Business items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing layout for Invoices, Bills and Vouchers to their respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the default layout. Open Business items will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
  • OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
  • Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
  • The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
  • When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
  • New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
  • New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
  • Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
  • Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
  • Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
  • Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
  • Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols for the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
  • GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
  • Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
  • The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
  • The Customer, Vendor, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
  • Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).

New/Revised Reports

  • Income-GST
  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

In 3.906

None

In previous 3.9xx releases

  • The signature for qof_session_begin(), QofSession::begin(), and QofBackend::begin() are changed to use an enum SessionOpenMode instead of three booleans.
  • gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
    • gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
    • gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
    • gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
    • gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.
    • There's also an auxiliary file, gnucash-windows-locale.c because the localization code proved resistant to compiling as C++. We're planning another auxiliary file for the MacOS localization.
  • A new mock facility for several engine classes to permit better-isolated unit testing of components that depend on those classes.
  • Register filter and sort values are saved in the book's state file (book.gcm) in the user's configdir instead of in the book.
  • QofSession no longer creates its book, instead one must create a book first and pass that to qof_session_new()/QofSession::QofSession().
  • Add option to save Layout for Register items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing register layout based on the register type to there respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used when opening registers. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the associated default layout. Open registers will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
  • gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.
  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 3.906.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
  • Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
  • Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cmake isn't able to find Google test without help.
  • Unit tests for Scheme code with SRFI64.

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0

  • gnc:substring-replace-from-to

Between 3.905 and 3.906, the following bugfixes were accomplished. Some of these will also be fixed in GnuCash 3.11, some are for 4.0 only.

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

  • Add missing #includes into gnc-imp-settings-csv-price.cpp
  • [business-core] string-hash doesn't guarantee unique hash, use guid string instead.

  • Ensure balance-sheet balances do not ignore closing entries, including them in closing balances from profit&loss.
  • [balsheet-pnl] value-collector doesn't need to ignore closing

    The value-collector is only used to tally account balances for asset&liability accounts. These accounts never have closing entries. No need to test closing property.

    We now have one single case in gnc-locale-utils and all code uses gnc_get_boost_locale to get the proper locale.

  • Fix translations using boost::locale::translate
  • Fix report dependencies that caused Xcode build failure.
  • Update Schedule Transaction Template dialog status bar

    Copy the functions from gnc_main_window that updates the status bar with the action tooltips to gnc_window so that both GncMainWindow and GncEmbeddedWindow can use without duplicating code.

  • Add the Register width menu options to the Scheduled Transaction Template dialog.
  • [balance-sheet] hide trading-accounts if use-trading-accts? is unset
