GnuCash 5.9 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.9, the tenth release in the stable 5.x series.
Between 5.8 and 5.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 724745 - Added new transaction during reconcile, didn't show up in reconcile window.
- Bug 797045 - Improve error reporting for bad credentials with MySQL backend ("bad or corrupt data" => "access denied")
- Bug 798568 - Transaction Copy/Paste problem
- Bug 799308 - sqlite backend: Example Python script prints error when creating new file.
- Bug 799370 - Transaction Journal view cursor placement after commit to transaction change.
- Bug 799384 - Reconciled date cannot be parsed.
- Bug 799389 - Crash when removing an account
- Bug 799391 - Transaction Cut/Paste doesn't move the transaction to the target account
- Bug 799395 - relative date offset quarters occasionally wrong
- Bug 799399 - Windows Keypad decimal locale error
- Bug 799416 - Post invoice: post to account dropdown listbox too small
- Bug 799419 - Intermittent quote price issue
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Add YH Finance (FINANCEAPI) API Key to Quotes infrastructure with a preference in the Online Quotes page and add financeapi to known sources.
- Move copied_class and copied_leader_guid
Move static copied_class and static copied_leader_guid to be part of the copied_item structure. This makes it more evident that calling clear_copied_item needs to be called before copied_item is used.
- [gnc-datetime] improve CSV date parser with ICU and Boost.
- Add dateformat "Locale" with ICU; uses current locale for date parsing. ICU's locale date parser may parse "3 May 2023" or "2024年9月13日" (LC_TIME=zh_TW.utf8) and maybe others.
- Augment d-m-y m-d-y and y-m-d with boost UK/US/ISO parsers. This allows CSV import of dates with months as words as "30 Sep 2023" or "May 4, 1978" or "2023-Dec-25". Note boost parser cannot recognise 2-digit years, therefore "30 Sep 24" is invalid.
- Csv Import - improve assisant's introduction page
- Correctly handle uncommitted edits when opening a file from history.
- Don't use gnc_difftime and deprecate it because it casts time64 to doubles
- [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_substitute_commodity
- [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_lookup_at_time64

Therefore the (apply min|max dates) will fail. Omitting the date query is a simple fix to prevent crashing. This is a partial fix because the crash is likely a symptom of another bug which causes the new account-tree to be empty.
- Bug 799225 - QIF Importer Crashes Silently after "Start Import" Button: Don't allow a QIF investment transaction without an action (buy/sell/etc)
- Bug 799246 - import matcher will rename incorrect splits
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend.

To sort by schedule name, a schedule name is first selected and then the column header is pressed to change order. To sort by occurrence date, a date is selected and then the column header is pressed to change order based on the date of the first occurrence. A tool tip has been added to indicate the sort order being used.
- [gtest-gnc-numeric] add operator comparisons with example int64 numbers
- [assistant-stock-transaction] store & retrieve associated account as metadata
- Update Form/Schedule line references for 2023 for the US Income Tax Report
- Update another gnucash-help to gnucash-manual

- Bug 799099 - Crash when trying to get quotes
- Bug 799104 - "Asset Chart" broken
- Bug 799108 - "Since Last Run" crashes if there are any errors creating a scheduled transaction
Capture errors and display them in a dialog box instead.
- Bug 799113 - "Start Import" button reports "Failed"
- Bug 799121 - Parse error on CSV import on MacOS
- Bug 799130 - split-register.c:1847:gnc_split_register_save: assertion failed: (xaccTransIsOpen (blank_trans))
- Bug 799134 - Fails to build with GCC 14 (‘find_if’ is not a member of ‘std’; did you mean ‘find’)
- Bug 799138 - Port to new Python C config API
Note that this increases the minimum Python version to 3.8
- Bug 799143 - FTBFS on 32bit architectures
- Bug 799144 - Date Completion is broken after 5.4 upgrade
- Bug 799148 - Reliable crash when saving a modified saved report configuration
- Bug 799150 - Can't paste text (with Ctrl+V) in Notes field in Account Tree View
- Bug 799151 - gnc_date_get_last_mday () does not account for leap years correctly.
- Bug 799152 - normalize_reldate_tm() does not handle dates with months greater than 11 or less than -11 correctly.
- Bug 799156 - normalize_struct_tm() does not normalize seconds,minutes, and hours correctly.
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.

- Replace yahoo_json with alphavantage in test-gnc-quotes. yahoo_json is too unstable.
- Include timezone in price-quote date diagnostic messages.

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:
- Bug 777472 - reconcile does not work if transaction selected
Check that there's no outstanding activity in the current register page before starting a reconciliation. It is still possible to start modifying a transaction after the reconciliation window is open but this will stop the most common issue with the process. Starting a reconciliation from the account tree is left unprotected.
- Bug 798564 - GnuCash is slow when there are a lot of open tabs/registers (37)
Lazily load registers as is already done with reports.
- Bug 798597 - The word "Separators" needs two separate versions
Use "Character-separated" when it's a choice between that and fixed field width and "Select Separator Character" when it's a heading.
- Bug 798695 - Deleting everything from the "Transfer" cell after suggestions pop-up restricts search to the first 30 accounts
Skip the search on an empty value and return all accounts in the combo box as it normally does if the account list is opened without searching for something.
- Bug 798796 - Account list incomplete in report options
Allow stock/fund accounts that are descendants of Bank accounts to be selected for the Advanced Portfolio, Investment Lots and Investment Portfolio reports.
- Bug 798809 - Multicolumn report error when reopened after saving.
- Bug 798839 - Edit -> Preferences string not translatable (reopened)
- Bug 798862 - Merge identical strings (reopened)
Ensure similar strings are identical and use double line view instead of double line mode.
- Bug 798879 - RFE: [Transaction Report] add Running Total option
- Bug 798885 - Accented character in folder name on Account Export (reopened)
- Bug 798899 - Gnucash crashes during CSV import when using a template if the destination account is changed from one used in the template
- Bug 798901 - Wrong value for very small prices from Finance::Quote.
- Bug 798916 - Exchange rates fetched from openexchange off by factor of 10
- Bug 798919 - Inconsistent signs in creating budget
- Bug 798923 - OFX import is no longer matching security nor asking for stock account.
- Bug 798930 - invoices won't sequence to the next number
- Bug 798948 - XML file corrupted by saving twice in extremely short period
- Bug 798952 - Unable to set day threshold or counters in properties.
- Bug 798960 - Transaction completion horizontal scrolling opens without the new text being visible and remembers previous position/width
- Bug 798966 - Uninitialised variable used in dialog-account-picker.c:dialog_response_cb()
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"

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.

About the Program
GnuCash is a free, open source accounting program released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and available for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, MacOS, and Microsoft Windows. Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable release was in 1998.
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 needsJSON::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

- 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 callinggnc:make-string-option
to create an option followed bygnc: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 withgnc-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.
