[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-commodity-option
  • gnc:make-complex-boolean-option
  • gnc:make-counter-format-option
  • gnc:make-counter-option
  • gnc:make-currency-option
  • gnc:make-date-format-option
  • gnc:make-font-option
  • gnc:make-internal-option
  • gnc:make-invoice-option
  • gnc:make-list-option
  • gnc:make-multichoice-callback-option
  • gnc:make-multichoice-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.

The following fixes are in 4.904 only and will not appear in GnuCash 4.14:

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

  • Fix quotes codecvt to wchar_t error on Windows.
  • Budget totals for one period would be wrong when increasing the number of periods.
  • Change the handling of accelerator maps. Gtk no longer supports changing these from the menus and the save no longer writes out the accelerators that have their default values, so to assist users editing them we have generated default ones that we include with GnuCash and have disabled saving when quitting GnuCash. At startup GnuCash will check for the presence of the file accelerator-map in GNC_CONFIG_HOME and if it's not found will copy in the default one.
  • Properly parse plus signs while importing numbers in a CSV file.
  • Fix CSV price import file loading.
  • CsvImport - actually do as the warning indicates: If an invalid column is found in a preset, replace it with a NONE column, rather than not inserting a column at all.

Translators note that there is a new project Program-beta on weblate for this unstable branch. Having twice the strings causes us to exceed the free account limit, but Weblate has so far just warned us about it. If we need to change the branch we'll announce it on gnucash-devel.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Between 4.902 and 4.903, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:

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

  • Add JSON::Parse to gnc-fq-update.
  • Guard against some possible null pointer dereferences
  • Change the reconcile window toolbar icon for 'Other the Account' to 'gnc-jumpto'
  • Change toolbar 'Blank' icon for invoice page to match register
  • Change the short cut from CTRL+Page_Down to CTRL+b and change the toolbar icon to 'go-jump'.
  • Remove -Wno-pointer-sign, adding the necessary casts in gnc-gwen-guic.c
  • Remove -Wno-error=parentheses, added for gcc 8.0 and gtk 3.14
  • Remove redundant uses of cmake -E env
  • [c++options] Save an empty SCM string for nil or empty option values. Avoids crash at reload due to unknown variable.
  • [c++options]Really fix the gnc_option_db_lookup_string_value leak

    • 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) Payment dialog - always list all possible post accounts instead of only those in the currency of the selected vendor or customer
    • Refuse to continue when a transaction has splits in more than one AP/AR account to avoid losing data.

  • Add ability to show placeholder and hidden accounts in the GNCAccountSel widget to hide placeholder and hidden accounts. By default these accounts are hidden, but with the use of a secondary icon a popup menu is presented where the list can be configured to show them. Also when the GNCAccountSel is set to a specific account with with gnc_account_sel_set_account, the placeholder and hidden properties are checked and appropriate changes made so the account will be visible.

  • Activate feature GNC_FEATURE_EQUITY_TYPE_OPENING_BALANCE
  • Wrap function decls in extern "C" in all headers so that they can be included without wrapping the include statements.

The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:

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

  • Unicode normalization for string matches is changed from NFKC to NFC. This means that font and positional variants will no longer match and is unlikely to affect most users. See Unicode Normalization Forms:Canonical and Compatibility Equivalence for the technical details.
  • The Gtk menu structure has been rewritten to use the newer GMenu/GMenuModel system. This change is mostly invisible to users, except that to keep menu accelerators (like <cmd>Q to quit) working on macOS we had to let macOS handle the events. That will affect using cut, copy, and paste in dialog boxes because the menu will intercept them. That's temporary, we hope to have it fixed for GnuCash 4.901.
  • The Finance::Quote interface is rewritten in C++. This new design will allow much better capture of diagnostics from Finance::Quote making troubleshooting problems much easier.
  • The perl Finance::Quote utilities gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper are removed and new commands added to gnucash-cli: --quotes info replaces gnc-fq-check and --quotes dump replaces gnc-fq-dump.

New API: The options system has been rewritten in C++ with Scheme wrappers for report options. While this is invisible to most users, those who have written custom reports should look for deprecation warnings when the custom reports are reconciled. The main difference is that option creation and registration is now done in a single function call. Nearly all standard code defined a local convenience function that wrapped the two steps, for example 

        (let* ((options (gnc:new-options))
               (add-option
                 (lambda (new-option)
                  (gnc:register-option options new-option)))))
called as 
        (add-option
        (gnc:make-string-optionpagename title key docstring default-value))
The convenience function is no longer needed, call 
        (let* ((options (gnc-new-optiondb)))
        ...
        (gnc-register-string-option options pagename title key docstring default-value)
intead. Note that gnc:new-options is now gnc-new-options. There are several similar changes. All of these are wrapped in bindings/guile/options.scm with the old names, but are marked to raise deprecation warnings to encourage you to change. The wrappers will be removed in GnuCash 6.0.

Deprecations: See the deprecation warnings in options.scm as noted above.
