GnuCash 2.1.1 released
The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.1.1 aka "Bug-begone", the second of several unstable 2.1.x releases of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software which will eventually lead to the stable version 2.2.0. With this new release series, GnuCash is available on Microsoft Windows for the first time, and it also runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX. This release is intended for developers and testers who want to help tracking down all those bugs that are still in there.
WARNING: Make sure you make backups of any files used in testing versions of GnuCash in the 2.1.x series. Although the developers go to great lengths to ensure that no data will be lost we cannot guarantee that your data will not be affected if for some reason GnuCash crashes in testing these releases.
Please test any and all features important to you. Then post any bugs you find to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash

What's New in GnuCash 2.1.1?
Compared to the 2.0.x series, there are only very few user-visible new features, except for the completed port to the Microsoft Windows operating system. Minor new features compared to the 2.0.x series are
- The Scheduled Transaction Editor and Management dialogs have been integrated into the overall GnuCash User Interface to give the user a more consistent experience in creating scheduled transactions.
- Internally, the programming language wrappers are no longer being generated by the not-so-well-maintained package "g-wrap" but instead by the well-established wrapper generator "SWIG". In effect, gnucash does no longer depend on g-wrap anymore but uses SWIG now.
- New printing formats for check printing
Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.0 include:
- Start-up behaviour has been improved: Windows size is better, splash screen can be clicked away
- OFX DirectConnect import uses correct ID fields for transaction matching
- More Scheduled Transactions bugs have been fixed
- Windows: Reading/writing to compressed data files has been tested more thoroughly and fixed in various places
- Windows: Crash on changing default currencies fixed
Caveats for testers:
- Any 2.1.x version might crash unexpectedly at any point during runtime. If you test some serious work in a 2.1.x release, make sure you hit "Save" after ever non-trivial workstep.
- The documentation has had screenshots updated, however, many help texts usually only refers to the 1.8.x series. Everyone is invited to help improve the documentation; see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get involved.
How can you help?
- We would like to encourage people to test this and any further releases as much as possible and submit bug reports in order that we can polish GnuCash to be as stable as possible for the 2.2.0 release in a few weeks. Then post any bugs you find to bugzilla http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash
- If you have the urge to help beyond testing please get involved in the discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you will find at http://www.gnucash.org. We especially need people to help with updating the documentation. Please see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get involved.
- Translating: The new release comes with some new translation strings. If you consider contributing a translation, we invite you to test this release already. A string freeze will be announced in one of the later 2.1.x releases. Please check http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation_Status for updates on this.
Getting GnuCash
GnuCash 2.1.1 can be downloaded from gnucash.org or sourceforge.net. It is available as source code. For the Microsoft Windows operating system, a self-installing setup program is available which includes all necessary additional libraries.
To install GnuCash, users will need Gnome 2, guile, and slib. Neither the currently used swig nor the previously used g-wrap packages are needed when compiling from tarball or when installing a binary.

GnuCash 2.0.5 released
Personal and small business accounting in GNU/Linux will be easier and better after today's release of GnuCash 2.0.5.
This release of the free, open source accounting program improves on the generational advances in the last version. GnuCash 2.0 is based on state-of-the-art gtk2 GUI technology. Developers worked hard to integrate the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) for a consistent behaviour and look-and-feel for the whole Desktop.
Major changes in this release include;
- Fix some strings not being translated.
- Use guiles native sort and record.
- Adjust how payment dialog resizes.
- Don't abort when F::Q fails to return a quote.
- Change Russian Ruble from RUR to RUB.
- The New Turkish Lira changed from TRL to TRY.
- Fix security problem with tmp filesystem and symlink attack.
- Add French and Canadian French translation updates.
- Do not crash on delete_event in new user dialog.
- Add sanity checks when accessing GncPluginPage.
- Make new windows the same size as the active one.
The GnuCash development team said these new features and changes will make GnuCash easier than ever for newcomers.
GnuCash is the leading free, open source accounting program and the leap to gtk2 will enable users to be able to enjoy cutting edge functionality with the freedom of not being locked into proprietory file formats.
Playing With Others
As with other leading GNU/Linux software that is designed to replace proprietory programs, GnuCash is a functional replacement for expensive accounting programs. Like OpenOffice.org and The Gimp, GnuCash is also programmed to communicate and interact with as many existing programs, institutions and people as possible.
The GnuCash development team has continued to improve file import filters, which allow users to import work from old programs like Microsoft Money and Quicken. GnuCash can load QIF and QFX files, which are used by both of those programs.
Developers have also continued to incorporate support for online banking into the program. GnuCash 2.0 supports OFX DirectConnect which can directly retrieve and import account statements over the Internet.
Ths release is available in 29 languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Norwegian, so people from around the world will have no difficulty operating the program
Off on the Right Foot
Users of GnuCash 2.0 will notice a few changes when they start the program. Improvements have been made on startup speed, scheduled transactions, currency support and currency quote retrievals.
After they enter the program, users will find a double-ledger account system, exhaustive report options and account hierarchy tools. Also at their disposal is a full system of tutorials and documentation.

FAQ: "Is this a gnome2 application?" A: "No." This release still belongs to GnuCash's 1.8.x series which is not yet ported to gtk2/gnome2. Read more below.
What's New in GnuCash 1.8.12?
o Online Banking/HBCI improvements: Debit notes are fixed again; Bank-internal money transfers are now supported, if the HBCI bank offers them; Setup wizard can now works with HBCI, OFX-Connect, and other AqBanking backends; Fix character encoding issues in utf-8 locales; Fix date interval in the import transaction matcher for OFX and HBCI import; Fix PIN entry bug.
o New currencies added: Romanian Leu, Bulgarian Lev, Malagasy Ariary
o Fix problem with long date formats in some locales
o Add configure macros for mips, mipsel, arm, and m68k; Fix compilation on OpenBSD 64bit architectures
o Updated translations: German, Italian, Kinyarwanda
FAQ: "Is this a gnome2 application?"
A: "No." This release still belongs to GnuCash's 1.8.x series which is not yet ported to gtk2/gnome2. In other words, this release is still based on gtk1.2/gnome1. The developers are working on a gtk2/gnome2 version of GnuCash, but it still takes a lot of time.
See http://gnomesupport.org/wiki/index.php/GnuCashPortingStatus for the status of the Gtk2 port. GnuCash makes use of several custom widgets as well as the Guppi graphing library. To port to gtk2 involves rewriting those widgets (e.g. the ledger, or the account hierarchy which uses GtkCTree) into the appropriate GTK2 widgets and would require the changing of the graphing code to probably use Jody's new gnome-office-graph code in Gnumeric (Guppi was never ported to gtk2 and is a dead project). But given that the GnuCash team is extremely short on programmers, the process has to exist in parallel to existing product improvements, resulting in a very gradual porting process.

What's New in GnuCash 1.8.10?
o Don't use C++/C99 declarations. Declare variables at the top of the function.
o Updated British English, Czech, Italian, Russian, German, Brazilian Portugese, Dutch, French, Spanish, translations.
o Fabien COELHO's zero-balance patch to remove accounts of zero balance from the report.
o Fix a broken recursion problem. Don't call show-acct? from use-acct? so we don't recurse ad flictum. This recursive call isn't necessary, just have use-acct? recurse unto itself.
o look in ${srcdir} for build-config.scm.in
o Work around problems with libltdl3.
o don't automatically try to (require 'format), so gnucash will build on an slib-3 system.
o Added quote sources for Indian Mutual Funds.
o Skip the case when a token is the empty string. This caused many warnings about a NULL kvp_frame lookup.
o Luigi Ballabio's automake patch to gnucash.m4
o guile-1.6 complains about string->symbol when passed a symbol.
o applied Vasil's patch to improve the transaction report for HTML export purposes.
o Backport of CVS-head changes to improve register open performance when working with large account trees (>500 accounts). The new code caches the quickfill tree so that it is shared by all register windows.
o create gnc:current-saved-reports, as the file to store saved reports from cstim. Autoload the saved-reports file at startup (after config.user/config.auto is loaded).
o Added gnc:report-generate-saved-forms that will generate the scheme code necessary to create a new report from the saved options of an old report.
o Added example Menu item "File -> Save all reports" that will call the new report saving function for all reports. This would need more work so that not all reports are saved but only the currently selected one -- any volunteer may feel free to add that.
o Fix saving of report: It now appends to ~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 Statusbar tip is now more verbose.
o Add toolbar element for saving the current report.
o Add function for saving one particular report to the ~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 file. Add extra menu only for customized reports.
o Remove the previous function for saving all reports since it is no longer necessary.
o Apply David Reiser's patch for Quicken(tm) cheques with stub.
o Apply David Grant's patch to add TD Efunds.
o make the desktop file HIG compliant.
o change the gtkhtml order to search for >= 1.1 before < 1.1, in order to try to fix #84707 on systems with multiple versions of gtkhtml.
o Perry Smith's Null Account Patch. Make sure the security is a real string before appending an account separator, so we don't try to create a "null" account.
o Add option to include zero-amount splits in computations.
o fix xaccAccountGetBalanceAsOfDate() to properly compute the balance at the end of the split list.
o Major change for HBCI, back-ported from HEAD. The HBCI online banking is no longer based on the openhbci library but instead on the aqbanking library http://sf.net/projects/aqbanking which is Martin Preuss' successor of openhbci. This means that now aqbanking-0.9.5 is required instead of any openhbci package.
o Fixes for x86_64
o Update for new LibOfx, this among other things, gives gnucash Microsoft OFC support.
o Duplicate match tweaks in import code
o Andreas Rottmann's patch to support g-wrap 1.9.
o provide a default account name so we don't crash when someone imports a broken QIF that has a !Account without an account name.
o Daniel Lindenaar's patch to implement a check-box in the Invoice Post Dialog (with a default in the File Preferences) to choose to accumulate splits when posting an invoice, or post a 1:1 mapping.
o Phil Longstaff's patch to prevent duplicate pricedb entries.
o Heath Martin's x86_64 patch
o Mark search criteria for translation -- somehow this had been missed all the time.
o Change currency mnemonic for "New Israeli Shekel" from "ILS" to "NIS".
o Identified and fixed several places with untranslated strings.
o Add configure check for libofx version 0.7.0 and respective error message. Update docs.
o Improve importer performance by matching imported transactions only against transactions in the proper time interval.
o send an event when a payment is processed so the invoice gets updated as "paid" in the search window.
o Make sure we set the proper search-type when we create the query, otherwise the search will fail later.

o dump-finance-quote - Be more explicit when a lookup fails.
o log-replay - Increase read buffer size.
o Make sure to verify that the items in the reconcile hash are still around after a refresh.
o When the commodity is changed, then set the currency to the currency of the last price entered for this commodity.
o Add Hungarian account templates by Sulyok Peter
o Patch by Geoff Kassel to work on OpenBSD (allow user to set diffcmd).
o Don't test double KVPs, on the theory that they will soon be deprecated.
o When computing the aging report, ignore splits that belong to closed lots. This way we wont get the wrong values when the invoice falls outside the 360-day window but its payment falls inside the window.
o Add gnc_getline() function to read an unlimited line-length from a file (so you're not limited to a buffer size with fgets() and the like). It is similar to the getline(3) on Linux except the API is different and it will always set the return string.
o Add workaround code for openhbci/chipcard problem.
o Add gnc_lookup_date_option() function.
o Add gnc_ui_account_get_balance_in_currency() function.
o Add preferences for summarybar.
o Add xaccAccountConvertBalanceToCurrencyAsOfDate() function
o Summarybar can now display a grand total of all commodities, profits of a period of time and net assets at the end of the period; summarybar can be configured with some options under edit->preferences.
o Create two new functions to centralize date-selection option creation.
o Export the new scheme functions.
o Modify Herbert's patch to centralize the date-selection option code.
o Use the new centralized date-selection option-creation code.
o Fix a typo in the help (was --diable-gui).
o Add db-4.2 to the list of databases we search.
o Fix a problem with opt style installs.
o Rename from_xxx and to_xxx account tree widgets to left_xxx and right_xxx.
o If in "accountant mode" call "transfer from" "credit account" and "transfer to" "debit account" and interchange account trees.
o Remove the RECN cell from payable/receivable to stop confusing people.
o Change Ukrainian "UAG" into "UAH"
o Commented out setting the memo always to "Auto-created split" due to popular request.
o Fix for part of bug only allow auto-create SXes which have splits to be created.
o HBCI transfer template management GUI added by Bernd Wagner.
o Added instructions about running under valgrind.
o Added a large set of valgrind suppressions for both guile and gnucash.
o Change the reg_type to SEARCH_LEDGER so all the 'action' types appear.
o Remove unused 'ledger_status' widget.
o At least be consistent about the background coloring of the month labels, even if we're still not using GTK themeage correctly.
o Destroy the transient window when the widget is destroyed.
o Make the advance and remind spin-buttons editable.
o Change the upper bound on the advance and remind spins to 365 [days], with a page-size of 30 [days].
o Disallow the Scheduling of being-editing transactions in the Register, preventing a class of unbalanced SX template transactions from being entered and propogated through the system.
o Fix nasty memory-corruption issue; insufficent bounds checking on array index.
o Better handling of various error cases in transaction-creation.
o When we have a problem parsing a credit/debit cell, indicate to the user what occurred.
o Use the account-list filtering capability of the GncAccountSel to only show/allow-creation-of valid account-types in the loan-druid.
o Add ':' to the token list of allowable characters in the formula cell.
o Fix precedence bug screwing up loan review page.
o Don't need to require format; main.scm handles it, and the default "format" (simple-format) is sufficient to handle everything we need. This allows gnucash to work with slib3.
o Add code to remove "intl/Makefile po/Makefile" from AC_OUTPUT in configure.in prior to calling gettextize to make sure that you can build from CVS with recent versions of gettextize. Tested with both RH9 and RH7.3 to make sure it works with both old and new.
o Move variable declaration to the top of the block.
o Make sure we always have intl and po Makefiles in the configure script. Sometimes it was ripped out without being replaced.

Version 2.1.8 is now available. This version includes a simple search interface, for generating reports for projects that occured in a given time period. This new feature is built using QOF, a gnucash spin-off technology. Version 2.1.7 introduced an easier way of allowing users to create and manage custom reports. Version 2.1.6 introduced a 'daily report' for summarizing hours worked on a day-by-day basis. Version 2.1.5 introduced a vastly improved diary/note-taking/blogging interface. Version 2.1.4 was the first version to introduce user-customizable reports, using a simple scheme-embedded-in-html system.
The GnoTime website is here and is mirrored here. Sources and CVS access is at the sourceforge project site. Most major distributions now carry GnoTime, so look to your distro first for a binary. Runs on Apple Macintosh OSX under Fink, too.

(As noted earlier I had the opportunity to give a presentation at a local Linux day about GnuCash and HBCI online banking. This presentation went really nice, there were a number interesting questions (mostly about the German online banking HBCI) and overall it was a good experience.)

I have just updated the gnucash package on people.debian.org.
All dependencies should work now and after upgrading it should work
'out of the box'.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add
deb http://people.debian.org/~treacy/gnucash.woody ./
then
apt-get update ; apt-get install gnucash
I'm currently tearing up the guts of "DWI" http://dwi.sourceforge.net DWI was originally (and still is) a way of 'quickly' developing glade apps that are hooked to an SQL db. I wrote a kind of tracking tool using the thing for a client (tracking maintenance of pipes & pumps), so DWI has been vetted with a 'real life' project. I've been planning on creating a whiz-bang open source bug tracker & etc with it, but never got around to it.
My tear-up of the guts of DWI is turning it into a generic 'data pump'. It can suck data out of one place and stick it in somewhere else. Originally, the two places it worked with are sql tables and gnome widgets, but its in fact far more general than that. In particular, I'm planning on prototyping a hookup to the GnuCash objects (aka qof objects) real soon now. (which is why the qof objects get setters as well as getters in the CVS tree).
Part of the beauty of the thing is it does not force a 1-to-1 mapping between SQL tables and objects. The mappings can go any which way: data from different sql tables can be joined and pushed out to various assortments of widgets (including columned widgets such as ctree/clist). So its kind of a realization of my long standing complaint that I should be able to press a button, and bingo, some object turns into an SQL record(s), and back.
I'm not done with the DWI internal tearup yet, but soon ... After that, I'll start prototyping integration with the qof objects (probably within the DWI cvs tree). When I'm done with that, I'm going to try to unleash the thing to create teh backend for the GnuCash business Objects. My goal is to have very very little code for this: mostly, a specification of the SQL tables, and a mapping: 'this business object field goes into that sql field', and that's that. The goal/side effect is that this should make adding new objects to GnuCash backend 'real easy'. Depending on how the above goes, I may or may not convert the existing sql backend to use this new system. Although not in my current set of plans, note that DWI also offers a way of maybe simplifying the GUI design as well, providing a way of hooking glade dialogs straight to engine objects (and/or god forbid straight to sql). But that's really not something I'm planning for right now.

Sometime after the gnome2 port, the 'Lot Viewer' GUI will get a minor extension to allow one to manually construct lots (so that one can have 'designated' trading lots). The current default uses a FIFO policy to figure out the cap gains.
To try out this feature, you will have to get the CVS code and compile it yourself. Remember, this code is still beta: it may be buggy (although I think I fixed them all), and is subject to change before the final version.
What's New in GnuCash 1.8.7?
o Use
o Small fix from hawkfan to get tests to work when building outside srcdir.
o Fix a bug introduced by Matthew -- ANSI C does not allow you to declare a variable in the middle of an expression. Move the declaration to the top of the function.
o We don't need the trailing semi-colon because the #include adds one. The double semi-colon causes build failures in some cases.

What's New in GnuCash 1.8.6?
o Updated Spanish, Greek, French, Czech, Slovak translations
o Fixed extremely stupid bug in the import value setting workaround.
o Fixed problem with SX formula_cell calls
o Merge missing part of 2003-05-28 commit. The log format changes didn't get commited for some reason, making the log replayer completely unusable.
o Fixed crash during dialog startup on Solaris.
o Turn off scheme garbage collection during query->scm and scm->query conversion. It shaves about 50% off the test-scm-query-string tests.
o Make test-scm-query-string test deterministic by seeding the RNG with a known value.
o Add a "slots" parameter to allow for future expansion. Right now this is completely ignored.

What's New in GnuCash 1.8.5?
o Add IS_PAID column and the ability to search for paid/not-paid invoices.
o Add HBCI online transfer templates and make usable
o Fix a bug where if you unpost an invoice and don't bring the TaxTables up to date, the total value shown in the register is different depending on whether the cursor is on the current line or not.
o Don't constantly resize the invoice window every time we update ourselves.
o Updated Italian, Brazilian Portugese, German, Czech, Dutch and British English translation.
o Add Subtotal and Tax labels in the summary bar to print the Invoice's total amounts.
o Change the log format to use GUID instead of C pointers, use ISO8601 instead of proprietary form and log the Notes field.
o Port new log replay module from HEAD.
o Re-enable reversed legend in stacked barcharts. Needs Guppi 0.40.4 a.k.a. Guppi CVS, though, to actually work.
o Update the Polish Zloty for its new ISO currency code.
o Add ability to sort by Action and Notes.
o Fix the vendor window title to use the company name, not the contact name. Change the message when the company name is left blank.
o Create a new "date format" widget to let the user choose a date format (and see the results of what the date would look like).
o Add "Deluxe Personal Check" type. Add support for printing to "deluxe" personal checks. This prints the check "sideways" on a US-Letter configuration.
o Backport the QueryList widget and associated usage (this allows more places to have sortable column displays for query results)
o Improve HBCI error handling. Add more user feedback functions.
o Add support for KtoBlzCheck, a small checking package for destination account numbers for German banks. Very small, very useful http://sourceforge.net/projects/ktoblzcheck
o TRANSLATION_HOWTO: Added, by Jon Lapham
o Add API to the plugin modules to allow post-processing (scrubbing) of the book after it is loaded from XML. This allows a plug-in to post-process the complete book.
o Create a scrub function to clear up bogus tax tables due to a bug which could cause tax tables to get created ad-nausium if you post and then unpost an invoice.
o Create a scrub function to clear up bogus bill terms due to a bug which could cause bill terms to get created due to post/unpost of invoices.
o Enable the exchange-rate dialog on "search ledger" registers.
o Raise the import window after choosing a file.
o Change dialog statements to allow for embedded percent signs in the messages. In other words, don't allow user input into the format string of a printf.
o Change how the billterms option menu is used so it will change properly if you change the invoice's owner.
o Don't use gnc:reverse-account-balance? to determine whether to reverse the balance -- base it purely on the report type.
o Fix gncBillTermCopy() so it PROPERLY copies the bill term.
o Tolerate some HBCI banks failure of the GetSystemId-job.
o Don't allow selection of directory for save file.
o Add fancy-invoice report, to show what else is possible. It's not really useful per se, but it is another example for users. To be useful it requires some custom editing.
o Limit the commodity choices based upon the current account type.
o Add a new argument to the dialog creation functions to specify what types of commodities should be presented.Also tweak the title of the dialog based upon this argument. Remove the "new" button when the dialog is limited strictly to currencies.
o Show the running balance column by default in the register report.
o Annotate the window title to indicate whether a register is for a si
