German AQBanking Users:

The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code finalized so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the last stable version, 6.5.4. The GnuCash nightly builds have beta releases with the new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable AQBanking doesn't work for you.

Between 5.6 and 5.7, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • New Report: Exprimental>Transaction Breakdown Report

    Retrieves transactions from an account, distributes the splits into accounts - note if a transaction has 2 or more splits into 1 account, the transaction account cell will show the sum of the 2 splits - note if a transaction's currency is different from the account's currency, both amounts will be shown into the appropriate currency. [txn-columns] multilevel sorting - type then name.

  • Add ability for the dense calendar to start from any week day.
  • In the dense calendar, add a default number of months per column entry to the view model to get a better layout when the function gnc_dense_cal_set_num_months is solely used.
  • Add today indication on the dense calendar
  • Updated the Quote Sources list in the Security Editor to match F::Q v1.59
  • Import Matcher - select row if none is selected yet when right-clicking the list of matches
  • Change the default visible period for General Ledger from 1 calendar month to 30 days.
  • Fix Failing SRFI-64 tests being reported as pass by ctest with guile-3.
  • Ensure that filters are re-applied to multi-account registers when the number of included sub-accounts changes.
  • Copy the latest price when creating a new entry in the Price Editor from a commodity selection
  • New function gnc_account_foreach_until_date uses binary search to find first split after date, then for_each from earliest split to (but excluding) that split.
  • New function gnc_reports_foreach to abstract GHashTable-base implementation.
  • Cleanup - remove deprecated function (re-)defines that were deprected 11 years ago.

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

  • Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend.
  • [gnc-dense-cal.c] sx popup: show date in preference (cf.locale) format because the date format preference is user-facing and customisable. it's jarring if the preference is dd/mm/yyyy and the display shows mm/dd/yyyy in accordance to the locale.
  • Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction.
  • Date parsing efficiency improvements.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 5.5 Released - 2023-12-17

GnuCash 5.5 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.5, the sixth release in the stable 5.x series.

Between 5.4 and 5.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Cancel the QIF import instead of inserting the default directory if the user cancels the file-selection dialog.
  • Memory leak fixes
  • Rename the scheduled transaction edit/new/delete menus to resolve a shortcut conflict.
  • Allow saving the sort column in the Since Last Run dialog
  • Ensure that Print Checks obtains for the check amount the sum of all splits in the current register account and subaccounts.
  • Ensure that report page actions are re-enabled after editing options. Some actions (Print, PDFExport, and Report Options) had been left disabled.
  • Ensure GncDateEntry always reverts to today if the user enters an invalid date string.
  • Direct cmake to find the base installed Python3 instead of the latest version installed. Reference Cmake Issue 24126, Cmake Issue 24878, and CMake merge request 8287. Note that this requires CMake 3.20 or later; users of older versions will still get the newest installed Python version.
  • CI: Run distcheck on one workflow to catch quickly instances where someone adds a file but forgets to update the distribution.
  • Primarily of interest to developers: We've added a new CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, Asan, with two options -DLEAKS and -DODR, both of which default to OFF. This creates a non-optimized, with-symbols build with the Address Sanitizer hooks compiled in. While the primary motivation is a CI run to ensure that there aren't any memory allocation errors revealed in the test suite, this is also a useful build to use when debugging a segfault crash, many of which are caused by use-after-free errors. When building on non-Apple platforms -DLEAKS=ON will add leak detection, dumping a stack trace for the allocation of any leaked heap or free-store allocations. Similarly and on non-Apple platforms only -DODR=ON will log violations of the C++ one definition rule.
  • Also of interest to developers: A new cmake option -DCOVERAGE. When on and in a non-optimized build this will instrument the program and libraries to count usage for every source line. The option also adds three targets, lcov-initialize, lcov-collect, and lcov-generate-html. The primary motivation is to assess the completeness of tests in CI, see Coverage-HTML for the latest results.

  • Refresh the GUI on completion of the import matcher so that the imports are immediately reflected in the register.
  • Improve online quote retrieval error reporting.
  • Test loading and saving XML files with and without compression
  • [import-main-matcher] always defer_bal_computation during import to speed up both importing new transactions, and destroying existing ones.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 5.2 Released - 2023-06-25

GnuCash 5.2 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.2, the third release in the stable 5.x series

Between 5.1 and 5.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • The type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions has been substantially overhauled based on extensive user feedback. Matches are now only on the beginning of words and are now sorted by age since last use. This both substantially reduces the number of matches and prioritizes the most recently used as being the most likely candidates for re-use. To help distinguish cases of long descriptions where the match would be outside the popup's viewport the viewport is automatically scrolled horizontally so that the end of the left-most (right-most in rtl languages) matches is centered in the view. Completion can be aborted with the <escape> key or a new Don't autocomplete selection that's the first entry in the popup.
  • Fix lockup on Windows in type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions.
  • More budget-module sign fixes and improvements.
  • Lots of memory-leak fixes, GLib modernization, and code cleanup by Richard Cohen, Simon Arlott, & Chris Lam.
  • bugfix xaccTransGetTxnType: avoid returning TXN_TYPE_LINK incorrectly: A TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT will have non-APAR splits; a TXN_TYPE_LINK will not have non-APAR splits. This bug manifests as a regular TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT transaction being later voided being incorrectly changed to TXN_TYPE_LINK.
  • Including brokerage fees in Money Out calculation (if not ignoring them) in advanced-portfolio.scm report and updating the "advanced" tests to reflect selling fees being included into the money out value
  • [stock-txn-asst] Don't use the initial value in amount edit widgets unless they're valid. Otherwise the invalid value will log an error that will prevent later valid input from working.
  • BUGFIX: Actions > Online Actions > Show log Window does not open when it is first clicked.
  • cmake: check gdk only when building GUI
  • Get the tooltip working on "Online Banking Setup"

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 5.1 Released - 2023-04-30

GnuCash 5.1 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.1, the second release in the stable 5.x series

Between 5.0 and 5.1, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Add filters to the File>Open dialog in File mode to show only files with GnuCash extensions, only those matching GnuCash's backup file pattern, or any extension.
  • Select the first result in the Customer/Vendor search box. This allows faster keyboard navigation -- Find Customer, input search string, press ENTER, use up/down to select desired object, press ENTER to open object.
  • Improve foreign currency handling in budget report
  • Improve handling of the blank transaction when the register is sorted in reverse:
    • Change the preference option 'Future transactions after blank transaction'
    • Change tooltip for 'Blank Transaction' in register to mention moving to the blank transaction.
    • Show the blank transaction at top of register
  • Prevent infinite recursion from gnucash_item_edit_focus_out when using an input method.
  • Create obsolete features list with first member book_currency.Obsolete features set in the book will be removed from the book's KVP and ignored.
  • Restore existence, but not implementation, of GNC_FEATURE_BOOK_CURRENCY.

    At least one user has managed to get it set on their book so even though it was supposed to be unimplemented it got through somehow. Restoring it allows books with it set to load.

  • Offer to force edit non-identical fields when multiple matches are selected in the import matcher window. Previously only identical Desc/Notes/Memo were unlocked for editing.
  • Guard against there being no namespaces in the new security dialog
  • Fix Finance::Quote use on Win32 by dealing with Win32 \r\n newlines on return from finance-quote-wrapper.
  • Fix some menu labels that were not marked for translation
  • Fix category in CSV export with simple layout.

    If Trading accounts is enabled, and the transaction is a transfer between two accounts of differing commodities, the CSV simple-layout export would incorrectly show "--Split Transaction--" as the category.

  • When configuring Guile use pkg-config before searching for binaries.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.14 Released - 2023-03-26

GnuCash 4.14 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.14, the fifteenth and final release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.13 and 4.14, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Budget totals for one period would be wrong when increasing the number of periods.
  • Allow C decls after statements, legal since C99.
  • [kvp] Use static strings and boxed in gvalue_from_kvp_value. Saves allocating and copying complex values, avoiding potential memory leaks.
  • L10N:DE:Updating accounts from 0001 to 8000 DATEV-SKR04 2022-01-01.
  • Payment dialog - always list all possible post accounts. Before only the post account in the currency of the selected vendor or customer was available.
  • Revisit invoice payment in multi-currency context
    • 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)
  • Edit/assign payment - be more prudent not to lose data

    We can't handle the case where a transaction has splits in more than one APAR account. Instead of only warning that some of them will be lost refuse to continue and leave it to the user to fix the transaction first.

  • Multi-currency - show split amount rather than transaction value
  • Activate feature GNC_FEATURE_EQUITY_TYPE_OPENING_BALANCE
  • [balsheet-pnl] move out of experimental into regular menu. After 4 years it can finally graduate.
  • [dialog-sx-editor]Allow a daily SX to show all recurrences in the calendar instead of only 6 months.
  • Update Form/Schedule line references for 2022 for the US Income Tax Report

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 5.0 Released - 2023-03-26

GnuCash 5.0 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.0

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 the focus tab is the Accounts page or a Stock or Fund account register.
  • 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.
  • The Online Quotes facility has been completely rewritten and the old gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper programs have been replaced with finance-quote-wrapper. The functions performed by those programs may now be accomplished by passing commands to gnucash-cli -Q, see gnucash-cli --help for specifics. The perl module requirements have changed with the rewrite: The new version doesn't need Date::Manip but needs JSON::Parse instead. gnc-fq-update has been, er, updated to reflect that.
  • 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. (Note that some CAMT profiles are under the XML format.)
  • The import matcher now permits editing descriptions, notes, and memo fields in the matcher window before creating the transactions. Right-click and select from the context menu.
  • The report generated by the Print Invoice button on the Edit Invoice tab can now be configured as a book option at the 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.

Significant Code Changes

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 6.0)

  • _ (the alias for gettext. Use G_ instead
  • gnc:make-account-list-limited-option
  • gnc:make-account-list-option
  • gnc:make-account-sel-limited-option
  • gnc:make-account-sel-option
  • gnc:make-budget-option
  • gnc:make-color-option

  • gnc:make-number-plot-size-option
  • gnc:make-number-range-option
  • gnc:make-owner-option
  • gnc:make-pixmap-option
  • gnc:make-query-option
  • gnc:make-radiobutton-option
  • gnc:make-simple-boolean-option
  • gnc:make-string-option
  • gnc:make-taxtable-option
  • gnc:make-text-option
  • gnc:option-set-default-value
  • gnc:option-set-value
  • gnc:option-setter
  • gnc:option-value
  • gnc:register-option
  • The invoice option to gnc:register-report-create-internal

Report and Book Options

  • This major change will affect everyone who has written custom reports in Guile Scheme.
  • The report and book options code has been completely rewritten in C++ with SWIG providing Guile Scheme access for reports. The new design requires directly registering options with for example gnc-optiondb-register-string-option instead of calling gnc:make-string-option to create an option followed by gnc:register-option to insert it in the report's options.
  • Value access is also changed: Instead of retrieving an option and then querying or setting its value with gnc:option-value one will query the optiondb with gnc-option-value, the arguments to which are the optiondb, the section, and the option name.
  • Supporting the new options backend the options dialog code in gnc-dialog-options, gnc-business-options, and the new gnc-option-gtk-ui have also been rewritten in C++.

Online Price Retrieval

  • As noted under New Features the interface to Finance::Quote has been completely rewritten in C++ with much of the behavior previously coded in external perl scripts moved into GnuCash proper. This permits much better access to Finance::Quotes's facilities and in particular should provide much richer error reporting.

Stability Improvements

  • There are hundreds of small changes to prevent memory leaks, reduce unnecessary memory allocations, and fix compiler and static analyzer warnings.
  • Use of deprecated API in C/C++ is now an error (with 3 exceptions), including for the minimum required version of GLib and Gtk.
  • Extensive changes to the CSV importer, resolving most known bugs.
  • Remove all unused variables and made an unused variable a compile error.
  • Move all extern "C" declarations into the respective header files and remove extern "C" wrappers around #include statements.
  • Separate the scheme financial functions into a separate module so that all other scheme code can be banished from libgnucash to bindings.

Modernization

  • The menus and toolbars now use the GAction and GActionGroup actuation functions, replacing the deprecated GtkAction and GtkActionGroup APIs.
  • The experimental Register2 implementation is removed, as is the never-used Jalali calendar code and partly-written option code for creating a book currency.
