Website repository is now git only

As of today the repository that manages the GnuCash website is only available in git. This is the first of the GnuCash repositories to migrate fully to git.

This means that from now on the svn htdocs repository has been disabled. If you need to access the GnuCash website sources, you can use the git gnucash-htdocs repository instead.

To learn how to set up this repository, please refer to our Git wiki page.

GnuCash 2.5.1 (Unstable) released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.5.1, the second release in the 2.5.x series of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software which will eventually lead to the stable version 2.6.0. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX.

PLEASE TEST TEST AND TEST SOME MORE any and all features important to you. Then post any bugs you find to bugzilla

Major changes in this release include:

• Robert Fewell has contributed a rewrite of the register (Gnucash's primary interface window) to use the GtkTreeModel (select "register 2" from the menu) as well as a new CSV import/export facility for account trees.Take care not to try to open a single account in both the old and new registers at the same time. Doing so will crash Gncuash
• Gnucash now requires Gtk+-2.24 and GLib-2.26. We've removed most of the dependencies on libraries obsoleted by project Ridley and will be in position to move to Gtk+-3.x once the GtkTreeModel register window work is complete. This means that Gnucash 2.5 requires Debian 6, RHEL 6, or one of the more aggressive distributions like Ubuntu.
• Gnucash now works with Guile-2.0.
• The business module has been revamped and we introduce some new features:
  • Credit Notes
  • Customer and Vendor Overview Pages
  • Customer Overview Reports
  • Existing Transactions may be reassigned as invoice payments
  • Support for duplicate invoices
  • Improved invoice and bill handling: Post, print, or duplicate multiple items directly from a search results list
  • Better invoice printing setup: Choose a default invoice report as a preference
  • Reorder invoice entries in the invoice window
• The "Num" field is now optionally per-split rather than per-transaction.
• Gnucash can print to a PDF for reports and invoices
• Account "Filter By" settings can be saved and recalled
• Account entries in the Chart of Account can be colored
• When opening a locked "book" one now has the option of opening it read-only. Note that Gnucash is still a single-user program and that the database backends are still used only as a data store.
• Tom Loft has contributed an initial version of REST API allowing minimal information about accounts, invoices and customers to be accessed in JSON format. Includes modifications to gnucash_core.py to add additional functions.
• Gnucash is no longer subject to the "2038" bug, so that 30-year mortgages can now be entered correctly.
• By agreement of all authors we have relicensed Gnucash to the Gnu Public License Version 2 or later from just Version 2.

Caveats for Testers

Any 2.5.x version might crash unexpectedly at any point during runtime. If you test some serious work in a 2.5.x release and are using the XML file backend for data storage, make sure you hit "Save" after every non-trivial workstep. If you are using the SQL backend, this is not required as every change is saved immediately to the database.

The documentation has had screenshots updated, however, many help text may refer to the 2.4 series. Everyone is invited to help improve the documentation; see the development wiki page on how to get involved.

How can you help?

Testing: Test it and help us discover all bugs that might show up in there. Please enter each and every bug into bugzilla.

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 2.5.x releases. Please check the translation status page on the wiki for updates on this.

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 2.6.0 release. Then post any bugs you find to bugzilla

Github Repositories Have Been Regenerated

As we explained a week ago, we needed to regenerate the Github repositories to correct some errors in the original import from Subversion. The regeneration has been completed and the new repositories are ready for use.

To ease the transition, instead of deleting the old repositories, we've renamed them by appending "-old" to the names, so gnucash.git is now gnucash-old.git. Both will be maintained in parallel for a couple of weeks to afford plenty of time to switch to the new ones. You can change your existing repositories with
git remote set-url origin git://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-old.git
then rename it and proceed with the instructions in the wiki.

We regret the necessity of this and wish to apologize for the extra work and inconvenience, and to apologize as well to the contributors whose changes were incorrectly attributed.

Github Repositories Will Be Regenerated Next Week

As you may know, the core developers have been experimenting with Git for some time, using a mirror repository at Github. This trial has been quite successful, and the developers are now preparing to make it an official mirror of the Subversion repository.

Unfortunately in the course of preparing a direct link between the Subversion repository and Git we discovered that some of the author names weren't converted correctly during the original mirroring process. We're correcting that, but the result is that the hashes for most changesets in Git are different: A single change in a commit will cause every subsequent hash to be different, because the parent and tree hash values are included in the commit data which are hashed.

As a result, we have generated a new set of repositories, and next week we will delete our existing repositories on Github and replace them with the new ones. If you have a clone or fork of one of the current repositories you will need to delete it and re-clone from the new one. If you have local branches which you want to transfer to the new repository, it's fairly easy, and instructions have already been added to the Gnucash-Git Wiki page. You can make the process much easier by keeping your clone/fork current with the base repository this week.

We regret the necessity of this and wish to apologize for the extra work and inconvenience, and to apologize as well to the contributors whose changes were incorrectly attributed.
