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.

GnuCash 2.4.11 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.11, the ninth bug fix release in a series of stable of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software. With this release series, GnuCash can use an SQL database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX.

Getting GnuCash for Windows (Win32 binary)

The Gnucash 2.4.11 Win32 setup executable can be downloaded from Sourceforge. It will install everything needed to run GnuCash.

Mac OSX binary

The Gnucash 2.4.11 MacOSX package can be downloaded from Sourceforge as well.

If you want to compile GnuCash 2.4.11 for yourself, the source code can be downloaded from:

• Sourceforge: bzip2, gzip, all files.
• You can also checkout the sources directly from the subversion repository as described here.

To compile GnuCash from the source code by yourself, you will need Gnome 2, guile, slib. In addition you will need swig if compiling from subversion.

Changes

Between 2.4.10 and 2.4.11, the following bugfixes were included:

• [22080]Fix make dist for Swedish accounts files Reported by Robert Fewell
• [22260]Rewrite the tip-of-the-day parsing logic Since commit 22246, an empty tip of the day appears in the list of tips. This is due to the way the file is parsed. This commit rewrites the parsing logic to avoid such problems. As an added bonus, you can now add newlines in tips by using '\n' in the string.
• [22248]Bug #678848 - Customer/Vendor reports off-by-one on start date Additionally removes a superfluous module load
• [22246][PATCH] Fix tip-of-the-day with gcc-4.7 When making the text file tips-of-the-day, GnuCash expects 'gcc -E' to preserve at least one of the whitespace lines between entries. However, this relies on behavior of 'gcc -E' that isn't actually part of the spec, and is a historical accident. And it changed in gcc-4.7, such that all the whitespace is removed. Work around this by explicitly adding a newline in the sed expression. Pre gcc-4.7 there will be two newlines between tips, but this has no impact on the tip displaying code. Patch by Bill Nottingham
• Bug #631611 - Check printing fails because fonts are too tiny on Windows Lesson learned: don't use cairo_identity_matrix on a cairo_t managed by GtkPrintContext. It kills a number of transformations that were already configured by GtkPrintContext. On Windows this breaks proper scaling.
• Fix a double free crash when the required features dialog is shown
• Bug #611853 - Entering a 2-digit year in the opening balance tab results in "Parsing Error" This bug was already fixed on trunk as part of the patch that converted the new account dialog from glade to gtkbuilder. This commit extracts only the parts required to fix bug #611853
• [22224] Bug #671323 - Scheduled monthly transactions lose "except on weekends" setting when using MySQL
• [22229] Bug #678214 - GnuCash fails to open some post-processed XML files Patch by Daniel Harding
• Bug #677570 - Error creating net worth linechart report Remove doubled file contents. Changeset 21628 has already done this for trunk.
• Add formatting to table. Add cell padding to columns in table.
• Bug #677570 Error creating net worth linechart report Revert "Added user settable line width and data point markers to net worth" Removed entire commit in order to make report work. Details of error still need to found so that the feature can be reinstated. This reverts r21644. Note, this feature works in trunk.
• [22197]Add EXTRA_CFLAGS for compiling on Win7 Configure gets confused by some gcc builtins on Win7: Disable them so that configure finds the right settings.
• Add EXTRA_CFLAGS to inst_gnucash compile line so that cflags can be added by custom.sh
• [r22171][Bug 674862] Gnucash crashes after creating a new SX using the Mortgage Wizard and SQL Backend This addresses the crash reported on Ubuntu with Postgres by Krzysiek. The stack trace he posted showed the crash was the result of dereferencing a NULL GDate*, and this change protects against that. It still doesn't address the more basic problem of why on Win32 and with mysql and pgsql (but not SQLite3) the mortgage wizard is writing corrupt dates.
• [r22188][Bug #674862] Gnucash crashes after creating a new SX using the Mortgage Wizard and SQL Backend Special-cases dbi_result_get_datetime returning -1 to work around a bug in MinGW's implementation of gmtime().
• [22157] Bug #674494: Fix version and method of downloading isocodes in win32 packaging Patch by Mark Jenkins
• [r22154][Bug 674283] With mysql crash after deleting accounts included into a budget Never assume a pointer is NULL unless you set it to NULL!
• [22097] [Win32 build] Update gwenhywfar/aqbanking versions.
• [22090] Revert r22083, "Adapt German account templates to updated tax rate." A pure renaming is not the correct solution, I've been told.
• [22083] Adapt German account templates to updated tax rate.
• [22067] Remove potentially abandoned file (that has a GPLv2-only license, too). The last contributors here, Josh Sled and Chris Lyttle, have put their code under "GPLv2 and GPLv3" license, see r22063, but I'm too lazy to look up the copyright holders on the file as a whole so I'd rather remove it. If someone wants to add a similar packaging file again, feel free to do so, but please don't use GPLv2-only code to do so.
• [22066] Bug #670727: Extend license of 3 files to be GPLv2 and GPLv3. This has been granted by the gnumeric copyright holders. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670727#c7
• [22063] Bug #670727: Clarify license of a file to be GPLv2 and GPLv3 gnc-dense-cal.h: License remark was forgotten in r19507, but the author Josh Sled agreed on GPLv2 and GPLv3 licensing in his gnucash-devel message on 2010-08-28.
• Fix skipping of alternate rows when there is a customer id mis-match and fix gtk_entry_set_text errors. Fix already exists in trunk.
• Revert "Fix skipping of alternate rows when there is a customer id mis-match." Doesn't fully work. Will redo. This reverts commit 63c4689a36aa042564d7c29b40ee970533e3d81f.
• Fix skipping of alternate rows when there is a customer id mis-match. Fix already exists in trunk.
