[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

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.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.904 Released - 2023-03-19

GnuCash 4.904 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.904, the fifth unstable release leading to GnuCash 5.0.

This is an unstable release for testing purposes. Do not use it with production data! Make a copy of your book to test this release.

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 you have the Accounts page ora Stock or Fund account register open.
  • 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.

  • 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 4.903 and 4.904, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
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.

New and Updated Translations: Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Hungarian, Japanese, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Swedish

Help translate GnuCash on Weblate.

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.

    • 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)
    • 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 widget names to import dialogs so they can be manipulated with css
  • Fix some memory leaks
  • Ensure original splits are freed in xaccTransRollbackEdit
  • 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.

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.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.900 Released - 2023-01-08

GnuCash 4.900 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.900, the first unstable release leading to GnuCash 5.0.

This is an unstable release for testing purposes. Do not use it with production data! Make a copy of your book to test this release.

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 you have the Accounts page ora Stock or Fund account register open.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Between 4.13 and 4.900, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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.

Documentation

Concurrent with the release of GnuCash 4.900 we're pleased to also release a new version of the companion Manual and Tutorial and Concepts Guide

We've made some structural changes and one addition:

  • The former Help Manual is renamed The Manual and is now in a directory so named. The redundant 'gnucash' prefix is removed.
  • The source directorystructure is rearranged to reflect the installation, with the languages being the top level with each having guide and manual subdirectories.
  • Added a Quotes Info example with a sorted and formatted source list.
  • Replaced the obsolete ghelp installation file layout with one based on the XDG help specification.

GnuCash 4.12 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.12, the thirteenth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.11 and 4.12, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • It is now possible to edit the description, notes, and memo fields of new transactions in the import matcher and to do so for multiple transactions. The option is accessed via a context menu on selected import lines.
  • Show GnuCash's installation and configuration configuration paths in the About dialog. List the same from the command line with a --paths option.
  • Add account hierarchy templates for locale es_AR

  • Create Swiss SMB account chart acctchrt_pme-19.gnucash-xea.
  • [date-utilities] avoid report crash if start > end date
  • [html-chart] add percent formatter for numbers for older javascript.
  • [trial-balance] set default price-source to average-cost to minimise complaints (see Bug 798550)
  • Use macos-latest github runner for mac tests.
  • [dialog-price] Price Database: Insert help buttons
  • Disable transaction type (i.e. Bill or Invoice) in Invoice/Bill Registers, determining the type by inspecting the money flow.
  • Fix python tests dependencies so that ninja check works from a clean build directory with Python enabled.
  • Review of account templates C—missing placeholders, redundancies
  • Fixed a variety of memory leak, poor list handling, and dangling reference errors.

New API:

  • gnc_tm_get_today_neutral to complement gnc_tm_get_today_begin and gnc_tm_get_today_end.

GnuCash 4.11 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.11, the twelfth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.10 and 4.11, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Partially fix Bug 771095 by inserting a help button in the Since-Last-Run dialog.
  • Lock down GITHUB_TOKEN permissions on workflows.
  • [g_option_context_get_help() returns a char* which must be freed.
  • [assistant-stock-transaction] dividends must include stock account.
  • Fix arch linux CI build failures.
  • Add a help button to the financial calculator dialog.
  • [assistant-stock-transaction] avoid resetting txn_types unnecessarily.
  • [assistant-stock-transaction] reorder of Pages - date before type.
  • [import matcher] Only append description if there's something to append to, Otherwise just set the new string.
  • [balsheet-pnl] test "lvl <= depth-limit" outside add-indented-row as a first step trying to fix bug 798502. the bug likely resides in the (if) conditional in (add-account-row).
  • [gnc-main-window] page->window is not main_window, skip warning.
  • [gnc-plugin-page-register] if account==NULL, skip AccountIsPriced because gnc_plugin_page_register_ui_initial_state may be called for non-account registers (eg the sx editor) and account may be null.
  • [gnc-account-sel.c] prepend & reverse while building acct list

    and don't use confusing double pointer

  • Fix use-after-free in unable to save database dialog.
  • [account.cpp] restore breadth-first search for 2 functions

    gnc_account_lookup_by_name and gnc_account_lookup_by_code were searching breadth-first and accidentally changed to depth-first in 4.7.

  • [account.cpp] gnc_accounts_and_all_descendants converted from scm
  • [CI]Work around new git security measure.
  • [balsheet-pnl] faster definition of balance lists
  • [gnc-numeric.cpp] Reduce logging level of gnc_numeric exception message because exceptions are expected in some use cases.
  • Redo icon handling in cmake

    Using globs for file copying prevents cmake from discovering newly added icons. Writing rules that explicitly use lists of icons will fix this as a new icon in the sources will have to be added to the list and will force reparsing by cmake. We have to maintain the lists anyway for our dist target so there's actually no extra work involved for the devs.

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.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.10 Released - 2022-03-27

GnuCash 4.10 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.10, the eleventh release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.9 and 4.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Added a BETA Stock Transaction Assistant to help create a variety of securities transactions. To try it out start GnuCash with the --extra option, open a stock-type register, and select Actions>Stock Assistant. Please note any issues on Bug 798004.
  • Remove the hard-coded default namespaces"AMEX", "NASDAQ", "NYSE", "EUREX", and "FUND" from the New Security dialog. These namespaces were added to the list of existing namespaces; it was necessary to create a commodity that used one of them to make that one an actual namespace, so users who have commodities in e.g. the namespace NYSE will still see that namespace in the selection list. Reasoning: The list was necessarily incomplete and confused new users.
  • Fixed the Income Statement report table formating so that all sections get laid out to the same width.
  • [Python Bindings]Implement some comparison and arithmetic operators for GncNumeric
  • Budgets are sensitive to readonly status

    Disable some budget features if book is readonly

  • Fix suppression of "cut split/transaction" warnings for the current session

    These were not working because they were missing from the temporary warnings settings schema. The warnings could only be dismissed permanently. Add them to the temporary warnings section of the settings schema.

  • Currencies in several locations not displayed correctly for Hebrew
  • [category-barchart] Added option to show ratios
  • [html-chart] Add format style option for numbers
  • Better wording for tax table changed info message.
  • [register] Checkbox any value other than 0x20 (ASCII space) is true.

    Because it can be X or U+2716 now and could be something else in future. Fixes in particular the disappearing tax-included and tax-table in the Invoice/Bill entry register.

  • [Python Bindings]Provide the complete set of QOF enums in gnucash
  • [Pyton Bindings]Provide wrapper for qof numeric predicate

    Python bindings already have some wrapping objects for qof predicates. This adds the one missing for GncNumeric comparisons. Additionally fixes a wrong number for QOF_NUMERIC_MATCH_ANY in example file.

  • Remove commodity-table.scm, no longer required after adjusting qif-dialog-utils
  • Preferences, Import: UPDATE AND RECONCILE should be UPDATE AND CLEAR on preference "Enable update match action" tooltip text.
  • [register] Enable horizontal scrolling with a touchpad.
  • [business]Add diagnostic messages to GncEntry and GncInvoice.
  • Replace code style guidance with reference to the wiki Coding Standard page.
  • Update Form/Schedule line references for 2021 for the US Income Tax Report
  • Update the register help label when cell read only
  • Change AR/AP Type cell to be read only. The Type cell in AR/AP registers should not be changeable from the register so make the cell read only.
  • Tip-of-the-Day, new tip: the full file path is shown in the status bar.
  • [assistant-qif-import] Prevent ambiguous mnemonic

    Mnemonic N clashes with GtkAssistant "Next". Change to D which does not clash.

  • Numerous performance and code-clarity improvements.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.9 Released - 2021-12-19

GnuCash 4.9 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.9, the tenth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.8 and 4.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • More memory leak plugging and GList efficiency improvements.
  • Fix build with cmake older than 3.18

    3.18 introduced 'cmake -E cat', but we still have to support versions starting from 3.14.

  • [account-piecharts] don't use gnc:make-internal-option
  • Several improvements to the experimental IFRS cost-basis report.
  • Fix two minor issues with displaying links in the Document Link dialog.
  • Fix obsolete links to bugzilla.gnome.org in translations.
  • L18N: Fix glossary/es.po:906: duplicate message definition...

    901: ...this is the location of the first definition

  • [budget-flow] delay creating exchange-fn until a valid budget exists

    because it needs budget period end-date.

  • [options.scm] Addon previous commit... need to initialize with guid
  • [options.scm] gnc:make-budget-option stores guid instead of object

    because object may become stale if UI is used to delete it, leading to stale pointer and segfault. storing guid is safer, and will return null if budget is deleted.

  • support SEPA internal transfer
  • Fix issue with failure to run reconciliation with all accounts present in a multi-account OFX file. Do that by saving a GList of statements, rather than a pointer to a single one. Also freeing of info happens during the call to process_next_file.
  • Import of OFX files with many securities opens too many matching dialogs Because ofx import is currently split per target account, and since each security has its own accounts, importing such OFX is a tedious process. The fix is to only split the transactions if we identify a potential transfer, currently based on amount, date and accounts. To do that, we insert transactions one by one into a list, making sure we have not already inserted one that has the same date, and the same absolute amount. If we have, we keep this potential transfer for a second phase. A naive approach would loop through added transactions for each new transaction by that ends up being O(N^2), which matters if we have many transactions. Instead, I'm using a hash to make this O(N log N).
  • [date-utilities.scm] remove unused date selectors code & string
  • Adjust GNC_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_END

    To match new signature of g_once_init_enter and g_once_init_leave.

  • Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.

    glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.

  • Add explanatory note for gnc_add_scheme_deprecated_module test code

    The immediate parent commit removes old deprecated scheme modules. Link to the old modules for example code.

  • [test-engine-extras] don't create splits of opposing amt/value signs

    Splits' value and amount should never be of opposite signs. Fix test book which had created this incorrect value/amount pair. Strengthen env-create-multisplit-transaction to disallow test book errors.

  • [dialog-search] another QofQuery "q" must be destroyed

    because qof_query_merge creates a newly allocated QofQuery, its 2 QofQuery must be freed separately.

  • [trep-engine] new option "Date Filter" to specify dates to filter by
  • [dialog-sx-since-last-run] don't allocate repeatedly to combine strings
  • [test-transaction] "Report Currency" renamed to "Report's currency"
  • Separate the warnings for "cut split/transaction" and "delete split/transaction"
  • [gnc-autoclear] Move autoclear algorithm into gnome-utils
  • GSettings - fix GObject warning when old prefs-version is unset

    This will happen when current master (future 5.0) has been run at least once.

  • [utest-gnc-pricedb] add tests for gnc_price_list_equal

    Also need to change PWARN which causes test failure, to PINFO

  • [reconcile-view][bug] dr/cr query tests amount instead of value

    Because split->amount and split->value are generally of equal sign, EXCEPT in stock transactions whereby split->value can be zero and split->amount is non-zero. e.g. a stock split transaction. Querying the split amount instead will allow stock accounts with stock splits to be reconciled.

  • [split-register-model.c] Hide price==1 for zero-amount splits

    mainly of interest in zero-amount zero-value splits in the stock register eg dividend splits.

  • [core-utils] introduce gnc:format

    (gnc:format str [binding value]...) str will contain ${binding} which will be replaced to value.

  • [import-main-matcher] show destination acct for auto-match
  • GSettings - add 'deprecate' and 'obsolete' conversions for user preferences

    'deprecate' is technically a noop. It serves to remind maintainers the 'deprecated' preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'obsolete' goes one step further in that it will cause gnucash to reset the preference, effectively clearing the value stored in the preferences backend. This is the final phase of a preference. Following this it will be completely removed from the GSettings schema in the next major release. Notes * 'deprecate' and 'migrate' are related. Both are a reminder the preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release. 'deprecate' does only that though while 'migrate' will also trigger a copy of the old value to a new location in the databse. * This commit readds a couple of preferences that had been removed in the past to be able to properly obsolete them (and to test the obsoleting code)

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.7 Released - 2021-09-26

GnuCash 4.7 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.7, the eighth release in the stable 4.x series

Compatibility Notice

In order to allow flatpak users to share preferences with installations outside of the sandbox we need to change the preference path from /org/gnucash to /org/gnucash/GnuCash. This release of GnuCash does that and it will automatically migrate existing preferences. It does not, however, continue to write preferences to the old path and it runs the migration only once. If you go back and forth between GnuCash 4.7 and an older versions you'll have two sets of preferences, one for GnuCash 4.7 and later and another for GnuCash 4.6 and earlier. This includes the file history list and last-opened file.

Between 4.6 and 4.7, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Lots of memory-leaks plugged
  • Change the preferences path to org.gnucash.GnuCash to comply with flatpak requirements and migrate existing preferences to the new paths. This won't provide for automatic sync between a system-installed GnuCash and a flatpak one unless the system-installed one is GnuCash 4.7 or later. Please see the Wiki for more information and a procedure to convert your existing preferences.
  • Cleanup - minimal glib=2.56.1 - drop all conditionals on older versions
  • Add code to handle ofx files that include transfers between accounts
  • During transaction import, ignore splits whose account is not the destination account
  • Do not drop a potential match just because it has an online_id.

    Now that we don't exclude from import a transaction with an FITID that matches an already existing transaction, if one accidentally re-imports a transaction, this allows it to be automatically matched against the previously imported transaction.

  • Add test for Transaction GetDate() in python bindings, pursuant to Bug 798284.
  • In find customer dialog, add a column for "Shipping Contact" parameter
  • Prep early splash screen messages for translation
  • Change text for SX preference option 'Review created transactions' to better align with existing SX text.
  • Fixed an XML backend problem where trying to open a locked file would clear the lock even if one didn't ask to, so the next attempt would find the file unlocked even if still open in another instance.
  • Fix 2 crashes in Generic Transaction Matcher
  • Handle very large denominators from Finance::Quote's OpenExchange source
  • Update file extension in man pages per mailing list post.
  • Changed some option names:
    • From "Show Accounts until level" to "Levels of Subaccounts"
    • From "Extra notes" to "Extra Notes"
    • from "Report title" to "Report Title"
    • From "Invoice number" to "Invoice Number" to ensure it matches all other invoice reports.
  • Fix missing mnemonic keys after changes to GNCAmountEdit

    With the changes to GNCAmountEdit, the way the mnemonic keys are associated to the entry widget of the GNCAmountEdit needs to change so have created a function gnc_amount_edit_make_mnemeonic_target which does the same as GNCDateEdit.

  • Fix rounding in Stock Split Assistant to correct earlier commit that rounded the share price to that of the currency.
  • [Portfolio Reports] Allow share digits to 9 decimal places to match the maximum commodity fraction.

New API

  • None

Deprecations

  • Date options with a time of day setting.

    Removing the only use, an example in hello-world.scm. GnuCash doesn't use this value in any of its own report options and the feature will be removed in GnuCash 5. Related to bug 798297 Pref "Use 24-hour clock" obsolete?.

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.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.6 Released - 2021-06-27

GnuCash 4.6 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.6, the seventh release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.5 and 4.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Improve transaction sorting on effective num field so that alpha charachters and numbers larger than 1 billion will be ordered. Ordering is now numeric for leading numbers (so that 9 sorts before 10) and lexical beginning with the first non-numeric character. Note that if one of the values begins with an alpha character ordering will be entirely lexical. Lexical sorting is localized; as in the rest of GnuCash only standard ASCII numbers (codepoints U+0030 - U+0039) are treated as numbers.
  • Add import preferences for the difference in time considered when matching an existing transaction to an imported one. A difference less than the matching-date-threshold raises the score of the match; a difference greater than match-date-not-threshold lowers the score.
  • Add experimental report "IFRS weighted-average cost basis report". This is a work-in-progress to help calculate the cost basis of securities priced in a foreign currency.
  • [income-gst-statement] amend headers post Brexit. UK left EU, therefore VAT headers have now changed.
  • Plug a bunch of memory leaks.
  • Change how the print_info is obtained for the register: Currently the register sets up some 'print_info' values using the default account but if the register is a stock register they should be obtained from a parent account with a currency.
  • Change monetary value for gnc_default_share_print_info: Share values are not currencies so set the monetary value to 0 for the GNCPrintAmountInfo
  • Parse the register monetary cells for a currency symbol: Add the ability to strip the currency symbol from a registry monetary cell if it is pasted with one so it can be validated.
  • SKR-49 Account Template: Add codes 4500-4504, drop a duplicate, correct code 0674.
  • [gnc-plugin-page-register] Disable reverse on blank split
  • Make balancing transactions with trading accounts easier by removing and recalculating all trading splits. This ensures that there will be only one trading split pair per exchange and relieves the user of having to adjust the trading splits to match the accounting splits.
  • Don't bother scrubbing for orphans if there's no transaction currency. If it found one it would try to create an orphan account with no currency which will crash later.
  • [chartjs] upgrade chartjs to 2.9.4. Fixes CVE-2020-7746
  • [report-core] disallow define-report with incomplete export info. If exporting is allowed, 'export-types and 'export-thunk must both be defined.
  • [test-engine-extras] augment book data generators
  • ignore .vscode folder
  • Reorder and relabel price source list for better coherence
  • Python Bindings: Provide a deprecated GncPriceDB.lookup_latest_before_t64 to avoid breaking user scripts.
  • Update gnucash_core.py with gnc-pricedb function name change
  • Change some functions to use const gnc_commodity for gnc_pricedb
  • Reformat schedule transaction source files for white space
  • Add depreciation warnings for the removal of individual option tool tips
  • Remove individual tool tips from radio button options

    Removes the function gnc_option_permissible_value_description

  • ESC key was not working on load of Scheduled Transaction Editor
  • [budget.scm] show correct tooltip for report option
  • [html-acct-table] Remove unused 'pre-adjusting balances option
  • Bugfix: export-code for category-barchart reports would fail.

    This stems from trying to handle file-name when calling export code. Export code no longer require file-name, The export-code returns a string in the html-document object instead. Remove all file-name handling in reports. No backward compatibility issues because most users would not copy a GnuCash >=4.6 report code onto a <4.5 installation.

  • [gnucash-cli] improve discoverability of export-type. Formerly, selecting --export-type EXT would dump the cryptic "Report REPORTNAME has no export code". Modify to hint the user on acceptable reports with export-code.

New API

  • [report-utilities] Functions to dump splits in whole book:
    • gnc:dump-book - splits grouped by account
    • gnc:dump-all-transactions - splits grouped by transaction
    • gnc:dump-split - dumps single split
  • Rename a couple of gnc-pricedb functions that have not been used:
    • gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_t64
    • gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_any_currency_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_any_currency_t64
  • Add retrieval functions for price before the date given:
    • gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_nearest_before_price_t64 that retrieves the balance using the last price dated before a specified date like today for the preset value.
    • gnc_pricedb_get_nearest_before_price does the retrieval.

Deprecations

  • gnc:get-start-next-year
  • gnc:get-end-next-year
  • gnc:get-start-next-month
  • gnc:get-end-next-month
  • gnc:get-start-next-quarter
  • nc:get-end-next-quarter
  • gnc:get-one-month-ago
  • gnc:get-one-month-ahead

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.5 Released - 2021-03-28

GnuCash 4.5 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.5, the sixth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.4 and 4.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Fix building based on unix makefiles
  • Make the chart on the report page icon larger to align better with the account page icon.
  • Allow the context menu when GncCellRendererTextView is in edit mode.
  • Restructure early locale initialization
    • Move macOS specific bits to its own source file. As this is objective-c use .mm extension
    • Use common function signature for macOS and Windows init function and include via common header file
  • Fix GncDateTime::format_zulu to emit the UTC timezone instead of the GncDateTime's timezone with the UTC timestamp.
  • Fix the implementations of gnc_foo_get_day_neutral. As implemented these returned 10:59 AM local on the day but neutral time is 10:59 UTC.
  • gnc_invoice_window_print_invoice return NULL if invoice is NULL.
  • [dialog-invoice] invoice editor reuses invoice report tab.
  • Allow for Header Bar use in CSV transaction Assistant

    There are a couple of action buttons that are added to the CSV transaction assistant with added alignment based on the action area being a GtkBox which causes errors if the header bar is used so test for the action area type and use appropriate specific functions.

  • Drop default locale currency special case for euro

    The condition mentioned in the comment no longer applies. All European locales on Windows (MingW64) properly present EUR as currency these days

  • Fix fencepost error in calculating the week_num for POSIX timezone rules.
  • Include the contents of PROJECT_DESCRIPTION in the PACKAGE_PREFIX.

    If it's defined. PACKAGE_PREFIX is used to name tarballs and set their base directory. The translation project has requested that we name freeze-string tarballs with a pre1 suffix; this makes that possible.

  • Update python/gnucash_business.py to reflect rename of gncOwnerApplyPayment.
  • I18N: don't mark "<<", ">>" translatable

    They get properly reversed for RTL writing

  • From Budget editor, add toolbar and Edit menu to run budget report

    This parallels the invoice editor "Print Invoice" functionality. Runs the budget report using current budget.

  • [gnc-plugin-page-budget] change note icon to a note page
  • Allow the find account dialog position to be saved when using 'X'
  • Update price database for imported transactions.
  • Replace g_memdup by memcpy

    GLib is deprecating g_memdup and will immediately remove it in the next micro-release because of a CVE.

  • [html-fonts] Prevent sup/sub from affecting baseline

    Source: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/prevent-superscripts-and-subscripts-from-affecting-line-height/ Previously <sup> and <sub> would cause the baseline to move vertically.

  • Replace stat calls with GFile to retrieve last modified info

    Avoids code-page problems with non-ASCII characters on Microsoft Windows.

  • [gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c] use xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed

    which is then reversed if required. this removes the need for double reversal.

  • [Split.c]New function xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed

    Same as xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactions but doesn't reverse the list prior to returning. To be used by gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c Several optimizations

    • doesn't call g_list_find and g_list_append for every iteration
    • uses g_hash_table to cache list of txns already added instead of g_list_find.
    • does not reverse the result, thereby returning a reversed list.
  • [gnc-recurrence.c] avoid O(N^2) children traversal
  • Ensure that any GncMainWindows containing no tabs are destroyed at shutdown.
  • I18N: drop translatable flag from "xxx" dummies and remove trailing spaces from translatable strings
  • Update Form/Schedule line references for 2020 for the US Income Tax Report.
  • Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.

    glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.

  • [balsheet-pnl] Use last day of the month prices instead of first day of next month.
  • [options.scm API] Remove canonically-tabbed parent-subtotal-mode

    This mode had been marked experimental for 17 years and was never improved. Any saved reports with this option will be switched to parent-subtotal-mode enabled.

  • Accommodate Gwenhywfar 5.5.0 signature change for some GUI callbacks.

    This is a breaking change that matters only in Win32. No ifdeffing because Win32 builds and dependencies are well synchronized.

  • L10N: Move translation authority for Turkish from the GNU Translation Project to Weblate.
  • Make prototypes static for autoclear unit test, fixes build on Debian Buster.
  • [income-gst-statement] trep-engine currency section moved

    From "General" to "Currency". Missed out in 854c11782 commit

  • [test-scm-utilities] test-end properly so that test failures set the exit code correctly
  • Create opening balance accounts only when there are opening balances.
  • [qif-file.scm] Don't use match as an identifier

    It is a (ice-9 match) keyword.

  • Change the CSV export account tree header line

    Change the headings of the CSV account export header line to be more friendly which uses existing translations.

  • [new-owner-report] Don't create empty rows on report when splits have no entry in the memo field.
  • [gnc-report] dump backtrace to console when report crashes

    because gnc:backtrace-if-exception, not used anymore, would dump guile backtrace to console. restore this behaviour.

  • [gnucash-commands.cpp] display report errors to stderr

New API

  • [report-core.scm] create and expose gnc:render-report

    similar to gnc:report-run but *always* returns a 2-element list containing data OR captured_error

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.3 Released - 2020-12-27

GnuCash 4.3 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.3, the fourth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.2 and 4.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Add custom unbound-variable exception reporter in guile that identifies what module provides the missing symbol.
  • Balsheet-pnl report: show most recent period first by default
  • Change register page icon to a padlock if read only
  • When a resister is read only make whole sheet insensitive.
  • Add account name to the read-only-register dialog box because under some circumstances it may be unclear to which register the message applies.
  • Strictly use use-modules to import Scheme symbols: Guile 3.0 doesn't like the alternatives. This can cause problems resolving symbols if the source of those symbols isn't yet compiled and hasn't been symlinked into the builddir.
  • Don't try to reload report if the first attempt raised an html error.
  • Barcharts: Limit account drill-down depth to 6.
  • I18N:glossary: add mortgage terms ARM, APR, FRM
  • Change the icons used for the file locked dialog box.
  • Add support for the opening balance accounts flag

    Up to now, opening balance accounts have been identified by means of fixed names and their translations. Support Replacing this with a consistent non-translated tag. The actual replacement will be added to Gnucash 4.4; this change is to ensure a migration path.

  • Replace TravisCI with Github actions for CI testing. TravisCI sharply restricted their free support of Free Software projects.
  • Use LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH instead of (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH in environment file.
  • Add a few more CSS classes for labels
  • Add GoogleMocks of some engine objects and refine Import-export unit tests using them.
  • Add auto-clear to register page
  • Change source files dialog-dup-trans.* for space and tabs
  • Fix exception when converting to decimal values that reduce to N/1.
  • Add confirmation of Main Window close when more than one window is displayed
  • Add keyboard shortcuts <Ctrl><Alt><Menu> for the notebook page selection menu and <Ctrl><Alt>A to jump to the Accounts page.
  • Allow using the Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/Down to scroll the report view.
  • Fix report page keyboard focus in the scroll window.
  • Fix some incorrect links to the help file
  • Fix section help on windows not working.
  • Set the visibility of the account column in import-main-matcher depending upon the nubmer of accounts being displayed.
  • Add option to hide memo column on import-main-matcher
  • Fix pressing help button in OFX importer causing main-import-matcher to disappear
  • Preferences dialog: Display the invalid account separator message box only when the user closes the Preferences Dialog instead of after every change to any control.
  • Expose ngettext as gnc:ngettext
  • Add tooltip in import matcher window for description and memo column.
  • Put Macs back on WebKit2.
  • CMake: Mute guile-2.2 again
  • Fix several report stylesheet font-handling issues especially on macOS.
  • Fix price-renderer not converting to decimal.
  • Add some additional places where Check&Repair can be aborted
  • Make the price database list obey the force-prices-to-decimal preference.
  • Several improvements to the auto-clear dialog.
  • Fix some errors found by i18nspector in po files
  • Tax Report Options appeared twice on menu for Chart of Accounts
  • General Journal Report: Allow Report Options>General Title to render document title.
  • [options.scm] rename new-owner-report "Links" to "Transaction Links"
  • [new-owner-report] enable doclink links
  • [html-utilities][API] add function gnc:html-invoice-doclink-anchor
  • Disable chart animation that prevented visual comparison of state before and after reload
  • Select the register account if Tax Options dialog opened from a register tab.

Deprecations

  • xaccAccountCountSplits.
  • gnc:html-make-exchangerates

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 4.0 Released - 2020-06-28

GnuCash 4.0 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.0

Changes

Baseline requirements

Operating Systems:

  • Linux: Ubuntu 18.04LTS
  • MacOS: 10.13
  • Windows: 8.1

Software Dependencies:

  • C++ standard is now C++17, requires gcc 8.0 or clang 6.0.
  • Cmake 3.10
  • boost 1.67.0
  • gettext 0.19.6 for general use, 0.20 to generate gnucash.pot.
  • glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
  • googletest 1.8.0
  • ICU, any version.
  • libdbi 0.8.3
  • libxml2 2.9.4
  • swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
  • Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD

New Features

  • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • Business Document Column Widths:

    Entry column widths in Invoices, Bills, and Employee Vouchers may now be saved as defaults for each type of document.

    Two menu items are added to the View menu when a Bill, Invoice, or Voucher tab has focus:

    • Use as Default Layout for Vendor Documents
    • Reset Default Layout for Vendor Documents

    Vendor Documents is for Bills and is replaced by Customer or Employee Documents for Invoices or Vouchers respectively. The first saves the current document's column widths and makes them the default for all documents in the same type. The second menu item removes the customization and documents of that type will therafter use the computed default widths.

  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the Update Association for Transaction menu item that has replaced the two association items in 3.x, allows setting, changing, and deleting associations.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.

New/Revised Reports

  • Income-GST
  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

  • The signature for qof_session_begin(), QofSession::begin(), and QofBackend::begin() are changed to use an enum SessionOpenMode instead of three booleans.
  • gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
    • gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
    • gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
    • gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
    • gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.

  • Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
  • gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.
  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 4.0.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
  • Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
  • Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cmake isn't able to find Google test without help.
  • Unit tests for Scheme code with SRFI64.

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.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.906 Released - 2020-06-21

GnuCash 3.906 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.906, the fifth testing release for what will soon be GnuCash 4.0. This is the release-candidate: Barring any serious bugs it's what we'll release as 4.0 next weekend.

Changes

Baseline requirements

Operating Systems:

  • Linux: Ubuntu 18.04LTS
  • MacOS: 10.13
  • Windows: 8.1

Software Dependencies:

  • C++ standard is now C++17, requires gcc 8.0 or clang 6.0.
  • Cmake 3.10
  • boost 1.67.0
  • gettext 0.19.6 for general use, 0.20 to generate gnucash.pot.
  • glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
  • googletest 1.8.0
  • ICU, any version.
  • libdbi 0.8.3
  • libxml2 2.9.4
  • swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
  • Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD

New Features

  • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the Update Association for Transaction menu item that has replaced the two association items in 3.x, allows setting, changing, and deleting associations.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
  • A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.

  • A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
  • Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
  • Add option to save Layout for Business items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing layout for Invoices, Bills and Vouchers to their respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the default layout. Open Business items will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
  • OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
  • Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
  • The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
  • When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)

  • GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
  • Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
  • The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
  • The Customer, Vendor, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).

  • Ensure balance-sheet balances do not ignore closing entries, including them in closing balances from profit&loss.
  • [balsheet-pnl] value-collector doesn't need to ignore closing

    The value-collector is only used to tally account balances for asset&liability accounts. These accounts never have closing entries. No need to test closing property.

  • [trep-engine] don't create intermediate cells object

    from cell-calculators (a list of column-info), the cells object (list of column-data) was created unnecessarily. use cell-calculators directly.

  • [gnucash-cli] --report show/list outputs to stdout

    and their error messages output to stderr

  • I18N: Improve tooltip about double-line-mode

    Suggestion by Adrien Monteleone https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-June/091425.html

  • Drop unused boost::locale::generator instantiations

    We now have one single case in gnc-locale-utils and all code uses gnc_get_boost_locale to get the proper locale.

  • Fix translations using boost::locale::translate
  • Fix report dependencies that caused Xcode build failure.
  • Update Schedule Transaction Template dialog status bar

    Copy the functions from gnc_main_window that updates the status bar with the action tooltips to gnc_window so that both GncMainWindow and GncEmbeddedWindow can use without duplicating code.

  • Add the Register width menu options to the Scheduled Transaction Template dialog.
  • [balance-sheet] hide trading-accounts if use-trading-accts? is unset
  • Fix a null parent error in the New Account Hierarchy Assistant.

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.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.904 Release - 2020-06-07

GnuCash 3.904 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.904, the third testing release for what will soon be GnuCash 4.0.

Changes

Baseline requirements

Operating Systems:

  • Linux: Ubuntu 18.04LTS
  • MacOS: 10.13
  • Windows: 8.1

Software Dependencies:

  • C++ standard is now C++17, requires gcc 8.0 or clang 6.0.
  • Cmake 3.10
  • boost 1.67.0
  • gettext 0.19.6 for general use, 0.20 to generate gnucash.pot.
  • glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
  • googletest 1.8.0
  • ICU, any version.
  • libdbi 0.8.3
  • libxml2 2.9.4
  • swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
  • Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD

New Features

3.903 was the feature-freeze release. However, the command-line arguments for both gnucash and gnucash-cli have been adjusted as follows:

  • --add-price-quotes is changed to --quotes get
  • --run-reports is changed to --report run --name <report name>
  • Added --report list to produce a list of available reports.
  • Added --report show --name to describe the options changed from the default values in the named report.

The intent is to have command categories with subcommands to better enable a richer command line capability as illustrated with the new report commands list and show.

  • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • The new reports introduced in the Experimental Reports menu are moved to the main menu and the old reports hidden; the old reports can be unhidden by running GnuCash from the commandline with the --extra argument. That will cause the old reports to appear in their regular locations on the menu labeled (legacy). Note that new reports use different options and layouts and you may need to adjust your saved report configurations.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the new Update Transaction Association item in the register context menu, provides the ability to have multiple associations for a single transaction. Associations may now be easily removed.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
  • A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.
  • The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time.
  • A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
  • When importing, the matcher will no longer offer to match a transaction to one that has already matched in a previous import, nor will it offer to match more than one imported transaction to a single existing transaction.
  • Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
  • Add option to save Layout for Business items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing layout for Invoices, Bills and Vouchers to their respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the default layout. Open Business items will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
  • OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
  • Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
  • The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
  • When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
  • New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
  • New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
  • Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
  • Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
  • Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
  • Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
  • Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols and the European Privacy Directive.
  • GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
  • Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
  • The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
  • The Customer, Vender, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
  • Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).

New/Revised Reports

  • Income-GST
  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

In 3.904

  • The signature for qof_session_begin(), QofSession::begin(), and QofBackend::begin() are changed to use an enum SessionOpenMode instead of three booleans.

In previous 3.9xx releases

  • gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
    • gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
    • gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
    • gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
    • gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.
    • There's also an auxiliary file, gnucash-windows-locale.c because the localization code proved resistant to compiling as C++. We're planning another auxiliary file for the MacOS localization.
  • A new mock facility for several engine classes to permit better-isolated unit testing of components that depend on those classes.
  • Register filter and sort values are saved in the book's state file (book.gcm) in the user's configdir instead of in the book.
  • QofSession no longer creates its book, instead one must create a book first and pass that to qof_session_new()/QofSession::QofSession().
  • Add option to save Layout for Register items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing register layout based on the register type to there respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used when opening registers. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the associated default layout. Open registers will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
  • gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.
  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 3.904.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
  • Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
  • Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cmake isn't able to find Google test without help.
  • Unit tests for Scheme code with SRFI64.

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0

  • gnc:substring-replace-from-to

Between 3.903 and 3.904, the following bugfixes were accomplished. Some of these will also be fixed in GnuCash 3.11, some are for 4.0 only.

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

  • Add a tooltip for the 'C' column in the Chart of Accounts

    Add a tooltip to the header for column 'C' of 'Account Color' to match existing one character headings for 'Place Holder' and 'Hidden' columns.

  • Add first version of gnucash-cli manpage
  • Rework command line option parsing to store values directly in class member variables
  • [cli-reports] modify to open session readonly

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0

  • gnc:substring-replace-from-to

Between 3.902 and 3.903, the following bugfixes were accomplished. Some of these will also be fixed in GnuCash 3.11, some are for 4.0 only.

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

  • When no file is open don't ask to save it when opening another file or quitting GnuCash.
  • Add an Invoice section to dialog-utils for when the path head changes.
  • Change the position the register pop up so it aligns better.
  • Fix the alignment of the Notes label in Transfer dialog.
  • Set the initial Split horizontal paned position to be half way when the window is realized.
  • Set the expanding column in the lot viewer to be the 'Title' and the 'Description'. Also ellipsize the description to help with long transaction descriptions.
  • Change the alignment of the numeric columns to be right aligned so the numbers line up.
  • [new-aging] speed up split->owner.
    1. split->owner will now cache results, bypassing gncOwnerGetOwnerFromLot and gncInvoiceGetInvoiceFromLot for repeated calls to the same split.
    2. Previously each call to split->owner would allocate a new gncOwner. Now a new gncOwner is only allocated during a cache miss. the list of gncOwners is maintained and is purged when split->owner is called with #f. There is no need to maintain a tofree list of gncOwners anymore.
    3. Instead of slow gncOwnerReturnGUID to test equality, use gncOwnerEqual
  • Fix crash in case filter is less than 4 parameters.
  • Change the Options GtkCheckBox to use its own built-in label and remove the label in the first column.
  • Enable the Options Checkbox label to be used to toggle values.
  • Add enum SplitRegisterTypeGroup to group registers.
  • Change state_section parameter for gnc_table_save_state.
  • Fix clang error about type mismatch GtkWidget* != void* aka gpointer.
  • HIG, I18N: Improve Budget menu entries
  • I18N: fix translator comments in window-reconcile.c
  • I18N: Fix several issuse with 'Help not found' strings.
  • [QofLog] Replace hashtable with tree of vectors: 16x speedup.
  • Make qof_log_set_file static. Used only internally.
  • Move QofLogModule typedef to qoflog.h where it belongs.
  • [balsheet-eg] don't use safe-cadr and safe-cdr

    They are safety hacks which indicate inability to deal with lists. use lists properly.

  • [balsheet-eg] reindent process-acc-list-r
  • [eguile-utilities] deprecate single-use function used only by balsheet-eg.scm
  • [balsheet-eg] use "foreign" css class correctly.
  • [eguile-gnc] don't catch errors in eguile-gnc.
  • Initially select the last account chosen in the account picker dialogs.

    Separately keeps track of last investment account, security account, and income account. One issue is that gnc_import_select_account doesn't tell the caller if it put up a dialog or found the online ID on an existing account. This means the last account may be one the user didn't manually select. This may or may not be the right thing to do.

  • Transaction matcher dialogue was not closing when changing book.
  • Correct parent widget for import new account dialog.
  • No Selection on load for Bill Terms

    Change the selection process so it selects the first entry if present on load and also selects a newly created entry when completed.

  • Change the Tax Table dialogue to be based on a GtkWindow

    When using Gnucash on Microsoft Windows and a dialog opens a further dialog when you switch away from the application and back the last dialog that has the focus is behind the parent and it appears like the application has froze. To fix this try to use only one level of dialogue so change the Tax Table to use a GtkWindow with no transient parent.

  • Align the import matcher help button

    Move the import matcher help button to the left in the CSV transaction importer.

  • Merge branch 'maint'
  • Fix LIBDBI_DRIVERS_DIR generation.
  • Use more precise strings in gnc-split-reg.c

    You can edit the account very well, but not its transactions.

  • [test-stress-options] fix combinatorics testing

    Premise: pairwise combinatorics testing is only possible when all options have at least 2 options. The "General Journal" report is unique because it starts with the Transaction Report options generator, and adds a few hidden options. Unfortunately the Transaction Report receives the "General/Stylesheet" option, with only 1 default stylesheet. The General Journal report therefore has 1 stylesheet option with only 1 choice, and is not acceptable to jenny for pairwise testing. It would fail the combinatorics testing. Adding other stylesheets did not successfully allow pairwise testing. Therefore the simplest way to test General Journal is to disable multichoice testing whereby num(choices) is only 1.

  • [Account.cpp] more xaccAccountTypeGetFundamental types
  • Fix the crash that occurs when opening a new book when the transaction-matching dialog has been opened then closed.
  • Display report zoom factor with one decimal space.
  • Fix transaction post_date being set to midnight local.
  • Respect the environment LD_LIBRARY_PATH for loading Scheme modules and tests.
  • Add a tip about announcements and other mailing lists
  • Change occurrences of gdk_display_get_default to gdk_window_get_display()
  • Remove some Gtk version checks in code
  • Remove some Gtk version checks for CSS

New/Revised Reports

  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 3.91.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.

Between 3.10 and 3.902, the following bugfixes were accomplished. Some of these will also be fixed in GnuCash 3.11, some are for 4.0 only.

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

  • Fix 3 problems with the scheduled transactions calculations
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 10th with a start date on the 20th of this month. The editor correctly shows the next occurrence to be on the 10th of the following month. The schedule transaction summary dialog incorrectly shows the next occurrence to be on the 10th of this month (before the start date!)
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 19th, with a start date on the 20th of this month. The editor's calendar marks incorrectly show the next occurrence to be on the 19th of this month (before the start date).
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 18th, with a start date on the 20th and an end date on the 17 of the following month. The calendar should show no mark, but fails to erase the marks that were present.
  • Fix issue when editing the account tree view notes field

    When you try to edit a multiline account notes field in the account tree view you end up with just one line with control characters as it is being edited with a GtkCellRenderText cell. To fix this I have added a new cell renderer based on a text view.

  • Fix failed build of python tests and failed test in 3.10 tarball.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.10 Release - 2020-04-10

GnuCash 3.10 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.10, the eleventh release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

This is a snap release to reverse the changes to the reconcile window's filtering reconciled transactions with a reconcile date after the current statement date when computing the starting balance. It seems that many users' books have accounts with reconcile dates in the future that were suddenly filtered out, creating an incorrect starting balance and making it impossible to reconcile the book.

Between 3.9 and 3.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Update latest translation from the Translation project.
  • [window-reconcile] when reconciling, warn on splits having a reconcile date > statement_date
  • [window-reconcile] when inputing statement_date, warn if it's after today
  • [find-transactions] add search for reconciled date
  • Show transaction value, not amount, for registers with subaccounts.

    If the register has subaccounts in different currencies and a transaction has splits in more than one, the transaction will incorrectly appear to be unbalanced if we total amounts because the balancing logic works on split values.

  • Add instance argument to Session constructor

    Enables a python console to connect to the running GnuCash's session.

  • Make python console less noisy without --debug.
  • Provide locals and globals of calling context to the python console's shell on shell init
  • Merge Jean Laroche's '797006_subaccounts' into maint.
  • Add check to display warning dialog for mismatched commodities
  • Replicate changes in *2 files
  • Apply astyle to modified files
  • Merge Chris Mayo's iPython-fixes into maint.
  • Make pycons/ishell.py compatible with Python 3 and current IPython
  • [eguile-utilities] Prevent crash in balsheet-eg.scm
  • [eguile] escape-html -> gnc:html-string-sanitize
  • [qif-to-gnc] Properly mark intra-QIF internal transfers.

We have a revised Ukrainian translation.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.9 Release - 2020-03-29

GnuCash 3.9 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.9, the tenth release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.8 and 3.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • [report-utilities] fix gnc:account-accumulate-at-dates sorting & operator

    This commit performs 2 important fixes:

    1. The account splitlist walking assumes that the split->date always increases. This is now enforced by sorting the splitlist, *only* if a custom split->date is offered. By default the splits are sorted by posted_date, and if a custom split->date is used, will be stable-sorted to ensure the algorithm works.
    2. The handling of splits *ON* date boundaries is fixed. Previously if a split->date was equal to a date boundary, it would be considered part of the "after" date section. It is more intuitive that a date boundary includes all splits on and before the date.
  • When selecting a file for OFX import, restrict the files listed to .OFX (or .QFX)
  • Fix crash when changing account-separator.
  • Change the default focus to search entry for 'Find Account'
  • Fix rounding precision when importing prices from CSV
  • [trep-engine] subtotals when cells have monetary only

    Instead of accumulating subtotals from any non-#f value, ensure value is a gnc-monetary before accumulating subtotals. This paves the way to allow non-monetary in RHS custom-calculated-cells.

  • Travis - don't try to copy the removed after-failure file to the test container
  • Travis - use ctest built-in feature to verbosely log test failures
  • Fix tokenize_string()to prevent empty strings as Bayes account-matching tokens and remove duplicated tokens.
  • Fix calculation of Bayes account-matching token info to find exactly matching tokens only.
  • Clear online banking KVP from accounts no longer associated with an online one
  • Account template improvements for Swiss-German KMU and Germany SKR04.
  • Appdata file allows packagers to include distribution release information.
  • Ensure that new budgets are saved instead of saving only the state information.
  • Update US Income Tax information for 2019.
  • Correct double-counting of accounts in some cases in US Income Tax Report.
  • Housekeeping - reduce the number of PACKAGE and VERSION related cmake variables
  • Restrict gnucash.pot comment collection to ones beginning with "Translators".

    At the recommendation of the Translation Project coordinator.

  • [html-table][API] html-table can have multirow-col-headers
    • NEW API: gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! gnc:html-table col-headers have been augmented to support list of <th> rows.
    • BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY is offered. Old use of single-row headers API gnc:html-table-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-col-headers! should be unchanged; will get/set a single row of <th> elements.
    • NEW functions gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! will get/set an arbitrary number of rows of <th> elements.
    • using old API gnc:html-table-col-headers on a table, whose multiple row headers have been set, will lead to a warning and return the first row only.

Planned GnuCash Server Outage from 1500 US/ET (2000 UTC) on Saturday, Feb 1, 2020 through 2200 US/ET on Sunday, Feb 2, 2020 (0300 UTC on Feb 3) affecting email, wiki, irc logs, and bugzilla.

Details

The GnuCash "everything" server, code.gnucash.org, will be undergoing maintenance on Saturday, February 1, 2020, in order to migrate the hardware to its new home, as well as perform some software upgrades of the underlying VM system. Planned outage starts at 1500 US/EST where all the systems will be shut down, moved to the new location, installed into their new rack homes, and then upgraded. Maintenance may go as long as 2200 US/EST on Sunday, February 2 (2000 UTC - 0300 UTC Feb 3) depending on how quickly everything installs and comes back online.

During this outage, access to the GnuCash email lists, email list archives, wiki, irc log, git master, and bug tracker will all be limited.

Status updates will be made to #gnucash on irc.gimp.org and follow-up email sent after the server is restored to service.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.8 Release - 2019-12-29

GnuCash 3.8 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.8, the eighth release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.7 and 3.8, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • The Customer/Employee/Vendor reports have been rewritten. The new versions may be found in Reports>Experimental.
  • [stylesheet-css] a user-customisable CSS based stylesheet New stylesheet.
    Exposes a single text box for full CSS customisability.
  • Allow account selection by typing into the post-to field of the payment window
  • When sizing some register columns take account of 'Tot' being added.
  • Take account for the pop up button border in the register.
  • Change the date sample so it has the maximum text width possible
  • [new-owner-report] bugfix: balance row needs variable linked cols
  • Improve translations by scriptedly removing the removed colon suffix.
  • [report-utilities] bugfix: aging-list was incorrect. off-by-1 error.
  • [report-utilities] bugfix: overpayment works for AP accounts.
  • Swap the buttons around on the Budget Open dialogue
    Swap the OK and Cancel buttons so they conform to the normal layout.
  • [report-utilities] bugfix: fix overpayment detection
    For 1 payment to >1 invoices, previously would miscalculate overpayment.
  • [budgets.scm] Budget reports handle both natural & reversed budgets.
    This change is protected by a Feature: Using it will prevent the file from being opened by earlier versions of GnuCash.
  • [gnc-budget-view.c] totals - 5 fundamental types
    previous showed income/expense/transfers/totals budget totals, of uncertain meaning. now shows income/expense/asset/liability/equity budget totals. The 5 lines also become sensitive to the global sign-reverse property.
  • bindings-python - drop references to gnucash-env
    We no longer ship a gnucash-env script, directly use python(3) instead
  • [balsheet-pnl] fix: single-date balsheet missed printing date
  • [balsheet-pnl] fix: hide Equity sections when not needed
    • If currencies are not converted, Unrealized Gains are meaningless. Hide them.
    • If there are no income/expense accounts, retained earnings will be nil. Remove row.
  • Ignore trailing noise on imported transaction account numbers.
    AQBanking6 uses a separate method for retrieving account numbers for account info and transactions, where the transactions method can have additional characters, most often the ISO4217 currency code. That results in match failures when importing. As a work-around, compare only the length of the account-info-generated online id when comparing it to the transaction-generated one. Note that this is only a partial solution: At least one German bank also appends characters to the transaction-generated bank id and that will still cause the match to fail.
  • [dialog-payment] Add warning label if payment is unattached
    Completing a payment for a customer without associating with an open invoice is allowable and is used for prepayments. Enable a warning to inform that the payment does not have an invoice/bill document attached.
  • [aging] update error reporting
    This error handling was for transactions in APAR accounts whereby Transaction Currency != Owner Currency. An example is a manually entered transaction, then assigned as payment to a customer with a different currency.
  • Fixed German IBAN error message
  • Allow edit of some fields for posted invoice
    Allow editing of some fields for posted invoice. For reasons, see bug report: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797400
  • [average-balance] show monetaries instead of numbers in data table
  • UK VAT template: replace obsolete EEC and EC by EU
  • Implement the presentation of static optical TAN challenges (photoTAN and QR) inside the enter TAN dialogue.
  • [budget] fixcrash: fix crasher for some periods
    eg. the following combo would previously crash: - periods from next to current - use accumulated amounts
  • [budget] fixcrash: prevent crash if periods start > end
    It's silly to input start-period > end-period. Nevertheless handle it by swapping them instead of crashing. i.e. report budget periods from end to start.
  • [budget-flow] fixcrash: exchange-fn needs to specify exchange date
    because some exchange-fn *do* require date eg. pricedb-nearest. use the period end-date for the exchange date.
  • [portfolio report] There's no report-currency. Use currency.
  • [window-report] show backtrace when report crashes
    • Exposes a SCM string last-captured-error containing last backtrace
    • when rendering report-crash window, include it

New Scheme Functions:

  • gnc:html-markup-ol: creates an HTML ordered list.
  • gnc:multiline-to-html-text: creates html-text with <br/> elements.
  • gnc:make-html-table-cell/min-width: Create a table-cell with min-width style attribute.
  • gnc:collector+ and gnc:collector-: for collector arithmetic.

API Deprecations:

  • gnc:html-table-append-ruler/at!
  • gnc:html-table-remove-last-row!

We have revised translations for Chinese(Simplified), Croatian, German, Hebrew, Ukrainian

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.6 Release - 2019-06-30

GnuCash 3.6 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.6, the seventh release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.5 and 3.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Rewrite the Customer Summary Report to correctly handle multiple currencies.
  • Improve the Owner Report's find-first function to consider currency when selecting the account.
  • Prevent cutting the "anchor" split or pasting another split on top of it in account registers so that the transaction won't suddenly disappear from the register page. Displays an explanatory dialog just like trying to delete the anchor split does. Allow deleting, cutting, and pasting over all splits in Journal View registers which don't have anchor splits because they're not associated with any account.
  • Disable editing the "blank split" (the new split at the bottom of a transaction in split view) if the transaction itself is read-only.
  • Use the customer and vendor currency instead of the default currency from preferences when generating bills, invoices, or credit notes.
  • Allow assigning a single target account to more than one transaction in the import matcher.
    To do this select the new transactions and right-click to open a single-item context menu. Click the menu item to open the account selection dialog box. Note that imported transactions that match transactions already in the eriger, i.e. those marked "update" or "reconcile and update" are not eligible for inclusion.
    This feature still has some rough edges that are being addressed for the next release.
  • Use the default currency from Properties>Accounts for the summary bar currency to make it configurable.
  • Allow CSV export of grand total amounts from reports using the trep-engine.
  • Fix XML file import failures into GnuCash for Android.
  • Raise minimum CMake version to 3.5 for all platforms.
  • Prevent crash in Aging Report when the book has no AP or AR accounts.
  • Fix operation of the "default budget" option.
  • Change the account-picker dialog to disable the OK button instead of raising a warning dialog if the selected account is a placeholder.
  • Fix crash after unloading all files from the QIF import assistant.
  • Disable the Next button in the QIF import assistant if no files are selected for import.
  • New report "Balance Sheet-PNL" combines a Balance Sheet and an Income Statement in a single report.
  • Rework localization in C++ on Win32 builds, fixing several crashes and speeding up file loading by 10x.
  • Create a console window for displaying stdout/stderr. Define __MSWIN_CONSOLE__ and recompile to enable.
  • Keep the selection in the Securities Editor on the commodity after editing it.
  • Allow the Securities Editor to stack separately from the main window.
  • Much more Scheme cleanup and refactoring.
  • Python console improvements, including switching to Python3 and not killing GnuCash when quitting the console.

New API:

The following functions can now be used in scheduled transaction credit/debit calculations:

  • gnc:amort_pmt
  • gnc:amort_ppmt
  • gnc:amort_ipmt

API Deprecations:

[news]  Announcement: Wiki Registration Fixed - 2019-05-03

Wiki Registration Fixed

On February 3, 2019 the OS on the GnuCash server, code, was upgraded. This also upgraded the version of mediawiki installed. However, three mediawiki extensions were not upgraded at the time, which resulted in preventing new users from registering with the wiki.

This breakage was only noticed and reported today, and quickly fixed.

If you were trying to register and failing, we apologize. You can try again now.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.5 Release - 2019-03-31

GnuCash 3.5 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.5, the sixth release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.4 and 3.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • API: Add dedicated api to query build-time, version related compile constants and use it in several location in the code for consistent behaviour.
  • Budget: Save and restore the Account filter settings.
  • Build: Fix deprecation warnings for g_type_class_add_private.
  • CSV Tokenizer: Add additional test to guard against quote parsing regressions.
  • GUI: Replace ambiguous mnemonic for File>Export>Export Active Register...
  • GUI: Rearrange menu accelerators for Actions>Online Actions menu items
  • GUI: Add mnemonic for File>Import>Import Bills...
  • GUI: Move Balance-Forecast report to Reports>Assets & Liabilities
  • GUI: Move Void Transactions item in Report Options from the Accounts tab to the Filter tab.
  • I18N: Fix erratic localization of dates on Windows.
    Date format selection on Windows relies on Windows National Language functions and those are unaffected by the POSIX setlocale(). We have in the past relied upon gtk initialization to handle this but it has not been reliable since the move to Gtk3. Note that this applies only when the locale is set via a Unix-style environment variable (typically LANG) or in the environment file; it's unnecessary and ignored when using the localization settings in Region & Language.
  • I18N: Unify phrases to remove untranslated msgids.
  • I18N: Restore the global locale after Guile munges it.
    There's no way to change the environment locale on Windows so calling setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), as guile does in its init routine, reads the user's Language and Region settings instead of the environment variables. We save the discovered environment locale and call setlocale with it again after Guile has initialized.
  • Importing: Remove old (non-SEPA) online transaction code, because now in 2019 the banks will only offer SEPA transactions and no others. This in turn means we don't need the old ktoblzcheck checking functions at all so also remove the dependency.
  • Importing: Usability improvements for Bayes editor window
    Remove the "Are you sure" question as it is simply annoying but does not help. Fix some string wordings to be more understandable.
  • Online Banking: No longer force existence of local BIC code.
  • Online Banking: Entering of TAN must use normal visibility
    The visibility of the entered content was set to FALSE (=invisible) always, which was wrong for certain types of input as indicated by the GUI_INPUT_FLAGS. This should now be honored and visibility set to TRUE (=visible) for the correct flags.
  • Online Banking: Fix reconcile timestamps when importing balances.
    Used to be start-of-day, but needs to be day-neutral.
  • Performance: Provide a single static instance of C++ locale.
    We can't use std::locale::global because all streams imbue it by default and if it's not 'C' (aka std::locale::classic) then we must imbue all the streams that we don't want localized, and that's most of them.
  • Performance: Add GncDateTime::timestamp().
    To provide a C++ implementation of gnc_date_timestamp and to avoid using the expensive and localized GncDateTime::format().
  • Performance: Implement a faster date-time serialization function.
    Has the side effect of recording all date-times in XML files in UTC instead of local time with a timezone. This will help users who like to keep their files under version control because the time strings won't shift every time Daylight time begins or ends.
  • Performance: >Fix XML load CPU hotspot: Scrub.c xaccTransScrubPostedDate
    The refactoring provides roughly 10% reduction in user CPU use for XML file load by moving an expensive function to within an if-clause where the result is used.
  • Performance: Speed-up of txn match dialog: Suspend GUI refresh during deletion of selected lines.
  • Performance: Sorting speed-up: Cache the bool value of Transaction's is_closing property.
  • Register: Accept URLs or file paths for files associated with transactions. File paths can be relative or absolute. A preference is provided.
  • Reports: Speed up the budget and cash flow report calculation by iterating over accounts only once.
  • Reports: Heavy scrubbing for code readability and performance.
  • Reports: New Report by Ryan Turner: Balance Forecast Report
    This report forecasts the combined balances of the selected accounts based on the scheduled transactions and plots them on a line graph. You can set a "reserve" amount, which will draw a red line on the graph, so you can easily see if your forecast dips below a given value. There is also a "future minimum" line which shows what the lowest future balance will be at a given point. I find this useful in conjunction with the "target" line for planning.
  • Reports: Fix crash when loading saved-report with unknown choices.
    If a saved-report with e.g. relative date, multichoice option is unknown, the report would crash, and the Report-Options would segfault. This commit fixes both: report-date defaults to 'today', multichoice-options defaults to default-value. Following this commit, if a report loads a saved-report or .gcm from a future version, a gnc:warn will be emitted and the report will not crash; it will use relative-date today. Multichoice will remain the default value. Report Options will not segfault. The user will be notified via a gnc:gui-warn dialog
  • Reports: Date intervals at end-of-month:
    Instead of recursing the date, we calculate the next month using an index-based multiplier, and apply modulo/remainder as appropriate to determine the next month/year. Then we attempt to create new mktime, and if the resulting mktime's month is not as expected, reduce the mday by 1 until resulting month is correct. This fixes monthly intervals for end-of-month days. Test via monthly/quarterly deltas, and also includes leapyear calculation.
  • Reports: Date-grouping must allow indenting.
    Indenting checkbox was erroneously disabled when: sortkey = date, date-subtotal = not 'none.
  • Reports: Table display
    It is intuitive that if the user wishes to show the subtotal-table, and hide the transactions, then both the main (hidden) transactions and subtotals must be hidden as well.
  • Reports: Update US Income Tax information for 2018.
  • Scheme Deprecations:
    • account-assoc
    • account-hash

  • Scheme: Replace account and split utility functions with SRFI-1 functions.
  • Scheme: Testing (create-transaction) adds price trading commodities/currency.
    this will modify a test which was calibrated to record purchase price only. fix transaction creation to add prices for both purchase and sales, and also fix test which was assuming no sale price was bring recorded.
  • Scheme: Testing (env-create-multisplit-transaction) This is the general case for any transaction creation.
    Rewrite other transaction creation routines to use it. All tests still work unchanged, which confirms this function works well. This will allow tests to create multisplit transactions, of an arbitrary number of splits. If the list-of-split's values are not balanced (i.e. total 0), the engine will create an Imbalance-CUR split.
    The motivation is to allow creation of complex multisplit multicommodity transactions eg USD50 + GBP20 (USD25) = EUR66 (USD75) as well as their prices GBP/USD = 25/20 and EUR/USD = 75/66.
    • USD -50
    • USD -25 = GBP -20
    • USD +75 = EUR +66

    This will be useful in creating tests for stock-based reports, whereby stock sales need splits in STOCK/ASSET/INCOME accounts.
  • Scheme: Redesign gnc:account-get-balances-at-dates,
    replacing the ignore-closing? parameter with a split->amount function parameter having a default value of xaccSplitgetAmount. (split->amount split) should return the amount of the split or #f; in the latter case the split is skipped. This allows for a more general account balance list accumulator with novel balance strategies. For example a split->amount function could test void status and return xaccSplitVoidForerAmount on void splits; test description/memo for some content and vary the returned amount accoridingly; or test the split and return 1 or 0 creating a counter. To recreate the ignore-closing use case pass (lambda (s) (and not (xaccTransGetIsClosingTxn (xaccSplitGetParent s))) (xaccSplitGetAcmount s)))
  • Scheme: Replace some option names. Automatically convert usage of the old names and issue a warning.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.4 Release - 2018-12-30

GnuCash 3.4 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.4, the fifth release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.3 and 3.4, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Set up filepath utils to determine the GNC_CONFIG_HOME in the same way as GNC_DATA_HOME.
    Until now GNC_CONFIG_HOME was more or less hard-coded. Now it can be set via environment variable GNC_CONFIG_HOME. In addition it will automatically be created to avoid potential user confusion.
  • Redesign gnc-uri-utils
    • gnc_uri_get_components will now return NULL as protocol if the input is a normal file system path instead of a uri (it used to return 'file')
    • gnc_uri_get_protocol will now return NULL if the input is a normal file system path instead of a uri (it used to return 'file')
    • gnc_uri_is_file_protocol now returns FALSE if protocol is NULL (it used to return TRUE)
    • gnc_uri_is_file_uri now returns FALSE if input is a normal file system path instead of a uri (it used to return TRUE)
    • a new function gnc_uri_targets_local_fs will return TRUE only if its input is either a file uri or a normal file system path. This function is now mostly used instead of gnc_uri_is_file_uri in the current code base
    • a new function gnc_uri_is_uri is added to check whether its input is a valid uri (has protocol, path and hostname for non-file uris)
    • refer to 'scheme' instead of 'protocol' as that's the more formal term used in uris This involves renaming 3 functions:
      • gnc_uri_get_protocol -> gnc_uri_get_scheme
      • gnc_uri_is_known_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_known_scheme
      • gnc_uri_is_file_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_file_scheme
    • The *_protocol variants are marked as deprecated.
    • Additionally a number of local variables have been renamed from protocol to scheme to support this change.
  • Show warnings for deprecated declarations
    We're about to announce our own set of deprecated functions in libgnucash. That would be pretty pointless if we also would silence all deprecation warnings at the same time...
  • More report code-cleanup by Chris Lam, including deprecating the following functions:
    • gnc:account-get-balance-at-date
    • gnc:account-get-total-flow
    • gnc-commodity-numeric-string
    • gnc-commodity-value->string
    • gnc:double-col
    • gnc:options-add-include-subaccounts
    • gnc:options-add-group-accounts
    • gnc:options-add-currency-selection
    The following modules are deprecated:
    • report-system/collectors
    • report-system/report-collectors
  • Invoice: Remove H1 title and superflous option.
    Printing the title twice is silly, so remove the option and the H1 display of the title. Note that the remaining title is in a div named "invoice-title" so it can be styled with CSS as the user pleases from the Report Options Layout tab.
  • The preference, use formal accounting labels does not update the header With a register open and you change preference 'use formal accounting labels' it does not update the register header so add a call back for the preference.
  • Make the grid lines of totals Budget tree view track the preferences.
    Make the grid lines of the totals tree view track the preferences to match the account tree view above it.
  • Add routine to fix Account Color being set to "Not Set"
    Previously the account color slot has been populated with "Not Set" when any field for the account has been edited and saved. This routine should run once and remove all such entries.
  • Performance fix in dom_chars_handler: use g_strndup instead of g_strdup
  • In the appdata/metadata file, rename the ID from org.gnucash.Gnucash to org.gnucash.GnuCash to match flathub, and add a launchable ID to link it to the desktop file.
  • Added double-click-on-file for the CSV transaction, price, and account importers and exporters.
  • Cleaned up a variety of issues reported by the clang static analyzer.
  • Allow the text options widget to use all remaining space
    The text option widget used for report options has only about 3 lines visible currently and will not use any available space in the dialogue. Change the packing for this widget to expand and fill the remaining dialogue space. If there are more than one text option widget on a page then the available space will be shared equally.
  • Add short_labels for a few toolbar buttons with long names. That should fit a few more buttons on the toolbar.
  • Update iso-4217-currencies.xml, adddding VES - Bolivar Soberano, minor updates of other VE currencies.
  • Python 3 bindings fixes and improvements from Christoph Holterman and Sumit Bhardwaj.

We have revised translations for Chinese (Simplified), Farsi, German, Japanese, Portuguese (Portugal), and Ukrainian

Revised or added account templates for English (US), English (UK), German (Austria), German (Germany), Portuguese (Portugal)

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.3 Release - 2018-09-30

GnuCash 3.3 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.3, the fourth release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.2 and 3.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:

  • Set toolbar buttons to show both icon and text.

    And make the icon small to recover some vertical screen estate. The motivation for this is that Gtk has dropped the ability for users to change a toolbar's appearance. And as our icons are often less than descriptive many users benefit from having textual descriptions as well. This is the best compromise we can make until the gui gets an in-depth redesign.

  • Add preference for forcing prices to decimal display.

    Anticipating that some users might prefer to see exact prices, add a preference to General>Numbers to configure whether prices are rounded to decimals or are displayed as exact fractions.

  • Revert the "Average Cost" pricing changes made in 2.6.17.

    These changes broke trial balances in many books.

  • Allow saving to xml over an existing sqlite3 file and the other way around.
  • Add customer/vendor ID in client section of invoices.

    Partly fixes bugs 430259 and 742086; full fixes would require not-backward-compatible data model changes.

  • Change the default filter for General Ledger.

    The General Ledger default for the number of days shown is 30 but for the Register it is 0, meaning show all. So change the default filter based on ledger type and use this when determining if the setting should be saved or removed.

  • Fix gtk accelerator mixups by explicitly disabling actions that are not relevant.

    For example, File->Print and its variants for various page types all use the same '<primar>p' as global accelerator. It was possible to have gnucash invoke the 'Print Report...' action instead of the 'Print Invoice...' action when hitting <primary>p on an invoice page. If no report page was open at this point, gnucash would crash. If a report was open, gnucash would invoke the print action on that report instead of opening an invoice report for the invoice.

  • [job-report] Prevent Crash if there is no AR account
  • Add the ability to cascade account colours in account tree.

    The colour on an account that has sub-accounts can be applied to its sub-accounts; by default only those sub-accounts that don't have a colour set are affected, but there's a preference to override that.

  • Speed up loading the preference dialog by blocking register updates until the dialog is fully loaded.
  • Update change_tax_code.py, add basic test for python query.
  • Simplify GNCQueryView's data model: It was managing a number of redudant parameters which were leaking memory all over the place. The information that was tracked could easily be extracted from the underlying GtkTreeView, GtkTreeModel or GtkTreeSelection when needed.
  • Open customer/vendor/employee report when double-clicking an the respective owner the cust/vend/empl overview page.
  • Update Overview of README based on https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-September/042748.html
  • Many new tests for reports.
  • Some substantial speedups when loading large amounts of business transactions from a SQL backend.
  • Clean up a lot of memory leaks.
  • Remove all use of Timespec in the program. Provide deprecated wrapper functions supporting timespecs for custom reports; users should update the reports as soonas possible.

[news]  GnuCash Bugzilla Migration - 2018-06-28

Bugzilla Migration 29 June 2018 at 20:00 UTC

As anyone who's used Bugzilla in the last few months already knows, Gnome has moved their git repositories to a Gitlab instance at gitlab.gnome.org and migrated bug tracking for Gnome projects there as well. They've left Bugzilla alone for non-Gnome projects like GnuCash but they're closing it to new bugs on Sunday, 1 July.

Most users and contributors know that to get ready we've set up a new Bugzilla instance at https://bugs.gnucash.org and copied all of the bugs and their history and all user accounts. We'll do a final fetch from bugzilla.gnome.org at 2018-06-29 22:00:00 UTC (That's tomorrow at 8PM UTC/10PM European Daylight Time/4PM US Eastern Daylight Time). We expect to be able to "turn on" https://bugs.gnucash.org within a couple of hours.

The process will be:

  • Close bug creation on bugzilla.gnome.org. Unfortunately we can't prevent updating already-created bugs, but any changes to bugs on bugzilla.gnome.org after this will probably be lost.
  • Fetch the latest bug status from bugzilla.gnome.org
  • Close all open bugs on bugzilla.gnome.org as "RESOLVED OBSOLETE" with a comment pointing to https://bugs.gnucash.org for further discussion. We're using RESOLVED OBSOLETE to be consistent with the Gnome project bugs.
  • Import the changes to bugs.gnucash.org
  • Re-enable updates in the bugzilla code; that's disabled now because imports don't work if it's enabled.

User accounts are preserved, but passwords are obviously not preserved. Existing bugzilla.gnome.org users should use the "forgot my password" link on https://bugs.gnucash.org to get a password reset and to enable their accounts after the migration is complete.

Bug CC lists *are* preserved so you will get email notifications for changes to bugs that you've commented on or otherwise added yourself to the CC list. "Watching" links are *not* preserved so if you were watching another user or one of the category users you'll need to reset that in Email Preferences (click the Preferences link at the top of the page after you log in).

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.2 Release - 2018-06-24

GnuCash 3.2 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.2, the second release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.1 and 3.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:

  • Transaction report improvements:
    • Performance: Do all filtering ops before sorting.
    • Move the options summary before the subtotals table.
    • New unit tests
    • Enable computing averages in subtotal grid.
    • Generate the subtotal grid only if the primary sort key enables subtotals.
    • Fix subtotal grid to support multiple commodities.
    • New filters.
    • Much cleaning and refactoring of the internals.
  • Cache the num-split-action book option to avoid thousands of KVP queries for the same value when loading a register.
  • Create a static string for book option KVPs to save an extra malloc/free on old compilers without small-string optimization.
  • Add tooltip support for register cells.
  • New unit tests for the balance sheet report and invoices.
  • Consolidate charting code into a single module.
  • Removed an incomplete and abandoned C implementation of QIF import.
  • Restored libsecret support that had been left out of CMake.
  • Replace old-style html style attributes with css.
  • Modify emitted html to be parseable by the Guile SXML module for testing.
  • Remove support for long-gone gtkhtml renderer.
  • Clean up code generating html tables.
  • Ensure full precision of doubles is saved to SQL. std::iostream's operator<<(double) uses only 6 digits of precision by default.
  • Make float database operations more consistent, working around dbd-sqlite3's failure to support doubles (dbd-sqlite3, not sqlite3 itself).
  • Prevent crash in gnc-tree-view.c: When getting information from the state file, protect against the key not having a '_' which is used to split the string.
  • Add the full account name to the saved register settings If you need to delete the layout for a register in the settings file, the only thing identifying it is the account guid. To make it easier for humans, add the full account name also.
  • When register pages are restored it uses the full account name. When register pages are restored, the account is found from the full name so if the separator changes it will fail. Instead, also save the account guid and use that as default to find the account falling back to the full name.
  • Fix misplaced try block that caused unhandled exception if year out of range.
  • Fix permanent storage of vendor details: Since the data types did not match for the billterms and taxtable, those references/guids were not saved to the database.
  • Update invoice reports to use totals calculate by gncInvoice. This should give a consistent representation of invoice data across the application.
  • Ensure gncEntry rounding is consistent. Internally calculated values in the entry are never rounded. Consumers of gncEntry's calculated values can request them either rounded or not. Next use a pragmatical approach for calculating values on invoices based on the entry values: do the rounding such that we never create an unbalanced transaction while posting. That means:
    • round each entry's net value before summing them in net total
    • accumulate all tax totals on invoice level per tax account before rounding
    and round before before summing them in a global tax total Hopefully this will catch a few more rounding issues in this area. A complete solution can only offered if we allow users to manually correct tax entries. This requires changes to user interface and data format so that's not going to happen in gnucash 3.x.
  • Use Scheme SRFI-64 test framework for new Scheme unit tests.
  • New compilers (gcc-8.0 and Xcode 9) bring new warnings, so several fixups to mollify them.
  • Lowercase all cmake commands for better readability.
  • Metadate migration (2.6.x->3.x) fixes for Windows.
  • Ensure timezone is set correctly in FreeBSD.

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, Mac OSX, and Microsoft Windows. Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable release was in 1998.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.1 Release - 2018-04-29

GnuCash 3.1 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.1, the second release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.0 and 3.1, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:

  • On Windows the tooltip for saved reports was incorrect
    When the mouse was placed over a saved report description on Windows an empty tooltip was displayed. Setup the query tooltip callback so it does not display a tooltip for description column.
  • Fix crash when loading sql book with posted transactions.
  • Add ability to recognize and use a pre-compiled libgmock.so.
  • html-font: add default font family
    Windows ships with GTK2 in which the default font styles are named "Sans" "Sans Bold" "Sans Normal" etc. There is no "Sans" font in Windows; I vote to add a default "Sans-Serif" font-family which is valid CSS. This ensures exported reports are shown as intended.
  • Several improvements to the Transaction and GST reports.
  • csv-impport - Allow empty amount fields
    Treat empty amount fields as 0. This is necessary for example in the case the csv import file has both a deposit and a withdrawal column.
  • Remove the set transient parent setting for Reconcile window
    The Reconcile option is already a window so it is not necessary to set this value which allows the jump to transaction to work properly.
  • Date Format dialog flashes up when file/properties used
    When you select the File/Properties dialog, in the construction of that a 'Date Format' dialog flashes up while the date component is moved to the properties dialog. Can mainly be seen on Windows so remove the visible setting in glade file.
  • Prevent throw in gnc-pricedb.
    If a price lookup is given an invalid time64/timespec (i.e. INT64_MAX) then just return NULL instead of trying to find the nearest price.
  • Set GNC_VCS at build time instead of when making the tarball.
    Because the tarball is always made from a VCS repo.
  • If there are no prices in the db, critical errors are flagged
    When dialog transfer is used between two commodities and there are no prices in the db a critical error is logged. Test for price object being NULL before retrieving the price for the error message.

The following translations are updated: Slovak, Spanish

Known Issues

The following are open bug reports new to the 3.x series considered significant by the development team:

  • It is not possible to overwrite SQL Databases from within GnuCash, even though GnuCash will ask if you want to. Bug 789594
  • Several dates, including Accounting Period, are subject to change with time zone and daylight-time changes. Bug 791825
  • Some HBCI information is not loaded correctly so the first transaction download will re-retrieve transactions unless the beginning date is set explicitly. Bug 792397.
  • The new CSV importer's Price of Shares column doesn't work. Bug 793306
  • The new CSV importer's numeric parser can't parse numbers of the form x + y/z. Bug 793556.
  • Python bindings may not work in some installations because the bindings are unable to find the backend modules (libgncmod-backend-dbi and libgncmod-backend-xml). Bug 794526
  • Get Quotes can be slow if one has a large number of saved prices. Bug 794644.
  • The Mac localization code can set the wrong encoding for strftime causing the register's date picker to label months "Null" in some locales. Bug 794807
  • On Mac, the File Open dialog will crash if one types anything. (This is a Gtk+ bug). Bug 794809
  • An open register is not immediately updated when the Since Last Run dialog creates transaction splits in the register's account. Bug 794854
  • GnuCash asks if one wants to save changes when quitting or opening a file even if there's no book open. Bug 794870
  • Windows Defender falsly identifies the GnuCash installer as a Trojan. Bug 794967
  • Some Windows users have trouble using Chinese input methods on the Register; other controls work. Bug 795253
  • The scroll wheel can't be used to switch tabs in the gnucash gui. Bug 795294
  • GnuCash will crash if one attempts to import a CSV file with more than 1400 transactions. Bug 795383

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Online HBCI actions: Remove outdated non-SEPA menu items.
  • Add XML namespaces for all Account Hierarchy Templates.
  • General cleanup of Account Hierarchy Templates.
  • Fix auto-selection of splits in reconcile. Really use all splits of any given day. Up to now usually the splits of the given date were not or not all included, as the time comparison didn't correctly ignore any given time-of-day of the splits. Instead, all possible time-of-days should be included.
  • Properly detect git in case of linked worktree.
  • Account Hierarchy for India: Set LANGUAGE=hi and LANG=en_IN to access it.
  • Improve Import menu entries Customer & vendors use same menu label as others, replace template by tooltip, add ellipsis to entry, add comments to distinguish "Import" as verb and substantive.
  • Provide preference panel to set the Alpha Vantage API key needed for Finance::Quote.
  • Correct the appstream definition to match the current spec.
  • Fix collectors and min-date handling in reports.

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, Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows. Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable release was in 1998.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 3.0 Release - 2018-04-01

GnuCash 3.0 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 3.0, the first release in our new 3.x stable series.

New Features for Users:

  • The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses the Gtk+-3.0 Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was forced on us by some major Linux distributions dropping support for the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the Webkit project doesn't support Microsoft Windows so that platform will continue to use the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0 as the minimum version because it fully supports CSS theming.
  • New editors to remove outdated or incorrect match data from the import maps, a new user interfacs for managing files associated with transactions, an improved facility for removing old prices from the price database, and a way to remove deleted files from the history list in the file menu.
  • New Reports: A Reconciliation Report based on the Transaction Report,a Income GST Report, and a Cashflow Barchart report.
  • A new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new features including the ability to re-import CSV files exported from GnuCash, along with a separate CSV price importer.
  • A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment. We've removed all references to the various Yahoo! quote sources and made Alphavantage the default.
  • Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating system's conventions by default:
    • Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
    • MacOS: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
    • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
    It's still possible to overried with the environment variable GNC_DATA_HOME, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash.
  • Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead of names so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you rename an account. The Bayesian import maps are also stored in a flatter structure to allow faster access, especially in SQL. These changes mean that if you have Bayesian mapping data, once converted your database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.20 and later.
  • MySQL and SQLite3 date storage has changed a bit. Once converted, MySQL and SQLite3 database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.19 and later.
  • Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old 6-digit-maximum fraction is now 9-digits, and prices may have up to 18 digit precision.
  • Chart Reports appearance is improved, including more modern chart colours as suggested by http://clrs.cc/.
  • Transaction Report improvements, including regular expression filtering and many more options and features including a "Subtotal Summary Grid" The subtotal summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey vertically, sec-sortkey horizontally. For example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date, sec-subtotal = monthly will produce a monthly time series table.
  • The About dialog box layout is improved and now includes the detected Finance::Quote version.
  • GnuCash will always build the locale-specific tax modules. This was optional when building with autotools and never enabled when building with cmake. Note that the only supported tax locales are en_US and de_DE.
  • On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
  • GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2

New Features for Developers:

  • Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten in C++, an effort that will continue in the next development cycle. KVP is now private to libgncmod-engine and accessible outside via qof_instance_set and qof_instance_get. KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and boost::UUID respectively.
  • C++ unit tests require GoogleTest. While it's possible to use prebuilt libgtest and libgmock on some distros, building static libraries for GnuCash is preferred. It may be necessary to provide the paths to the googletest and googlemock source with CMake parameters GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT respectively.
  • The date implementation is migrated to boost::date-time, replacing a Glib GDateTime implementation. This makes the earliest date recordable 1 January 1400CE instead of 1 January 1CE. We doubt any users will be affected.
  • We've reorganized the code into a core library directory, libgnucash, and application-specific directory, gnucash. The python bindings are now in a top-level directory, bindings; code pinched from other projects is in borrowed, the account templates, check templates, and pixmaps are consolidated in data, and common holds the cmake modules and test framework code. The bin directory's contents have moved to the top level gnucash directory and bin is removed. There are now directories for gschema, gtkbuilder and ui files directly in gnucash. In principle all files of each type should go into these global directories. The only exception is if such a file belongs to an optional module. In that case the file remains located inside that module's directory. Currently we have ui, glade and gschema file exceptions in aqb and ofx importers.
  • The build system is changed from Autotools to CMake. All options except python bindings and the python console demo are enabled by default. Highly parallel builds with Ninja are possible and recommended, except on Microsoft Windows.
  • The Windows build system is rewritten to use MSYS2, Mingw-w64, Powershell, and jhbuild.
  • Add a "pot" target to the build system so that translators can easily generate a new gnucash.pot from a git repository.
  • Detect presence or absence of libxml2 and makeinfo during configuration; abort if the first is missing and don't build the (mostly obsolete) texinfo documentation if the latter is. Document both in README.dependencies.
  • Replaced Timespec with time64 in the Scheme and Python bindings, introducing many new C time64 functions to accomodate the replacement. Timespec will eventually be removed from the C API as well.
  • Some cruft removal in libgnucash/scm plus moving some code to its only use location. "main.scm" is renamed to "utilities.scm".
  • The "printf" family of Scheme custom functions is replaced with the built-in "format" facility.
  • Change a generally unnecessary warning about being unable to open a module (usually because the file is still being created) to a debug message. It appears mostly during highly parallel builds and was distracting.
  • Appstream configuration is updated to the latest spec.
  • Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
    • gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide it from the user.
    • gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with different parameters.
    For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts" name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters e.g. limited account types.
  • Drop intltool in favour or using modern gettext. By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml. For platforms where this isn't available, setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON will allow building but some strings will not be extracted to gnucash.pot
  • Pass GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT through to distcheck. So that they don't have to be exported in the environment if they're needed.
  • The Python Bindings and Console are now for Python 3, and enahanced to expose more GnuCash API. Compilation of GLib Schemas during build and installation can be disabled by setting -DCOMPILE_GSCHEMAS=OFF. This is intended *only* for distribution packaging scripts that run glib-compile-schemas themselves. Otherwise note that if you install to a DESTDIR you'll need to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving the contents of $DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
  • The CuteCash front end has been removed. The code we need from GOffice has been brought into the GnuCash code base so GOffice is no longer a dependency. The register drawing code has been upgraded to draw directly on a cairo surface, removing the dependency on libgnomecanvas.
  • GnuCash 3.0 adds the following dependencies: Boost, ICU, Googletest.

Known Problems

There's no such thing as bug-free software and if we held the release until all the bugs were fixed we'd never release anything. Here are the open bugs particular to GnuCash 3.0 at the time of this release:

  • It is not possible to overwrite SQL Databases from within GnuCash, even though GnuCash will ask if you want to. Bug 789594.
  • There is no theming tool for Windows or Macs so users of those platforms must apply theming by hand. Bug 791823.
  • Accounting Period dates are subject to change with time zone and daylight-time changes. Bug 791825.
  • Opening a large SQL database on Windows is very slow on some machines, merely slow on others. Bugs 792105, 794482.
  • Some HBCI information is not loaded correctly so the first transaction download will re-retrieve transactions unless the beginning date is set explicitly. Bug 792397.
  • The new CSV importer's Price of Shares column doesn't work. Bug 793306.
  • Importing an OFX file on Windows fails with an empty matcher window. Bug 793461.
  • The Bayes account matcher can take a long time to convert the accounts from name string to guids. This is a one-off, happening only the first time one imports into an account on GnuCash 3.0. Bug 794334.
  • The new CSV importer's numeric parser can't parse numbers of the form x + y/z. Bug 793556.
  • Python bindings may not work in some installations because the bindings are unable to find the backend modules (libgncmod-backend-dbi and libgncmod-backend-xml). Bug 794526.
  • An open register is not immediately updated when the Since Last Run dialog creates transaction splits in the register's account. Bug 794584.
  • Get Quotes can be slow if one has a large number of saved prices. Bug 794644.
  • Some users see 1 January 1970 instead of the default date in the New Invoice or New Bill dialog and on the unposted bill and invoice. Bug 794767.
  • The Mac localization code can set the wrong encoding for strftime causing the register's date picker to label months "Null" in some locales. Bug 794807.
  • On Mac, the File Open dialog will crash if one types anything. Bug 794809.
  • GnuCash asks if one wants to save changes when quitting or opening a file even if there's no book open. Bug 794870.
  • The Online Actions menu includes some obsolete and non-functional selections. Bug 794880.

The list doesn't include the many bugs carried over from previous versions. For a complete list of bugs search for the product Gnucash at Gnome Bugzilla

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.7 Release - 2018-03-18

GnuCash 2.7.7 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.7, the eighth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

New Features for Users:

None in this release.

For Developers and Distro packagers:

  • The Python Bindings and Console are now for Python 3.
  • It's now possible to create a GncPrice from the Python bindings with "gnc_price_create(book)", removing the need to clone an existing GncPrice object and modify it.
  • Compilation of GLib Schemas during build and installation can be disabled by setting -DCOMPILE_GSCHEMAS=OFF. This is intended only for distribution packaging scripts that run glib-compile-schemas themselves.

Bugs fixed in this release:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Fix date corruption in SQL load. Four date elements were affected: GncEntry::date, GncEntry::date_entered, GncInvoice::opened, and GncInvoice::posted. This does not affect the stored values of the dates.
  • Fix lost Bayesian matches in SQL backend. The import-map-bayes uses a three-part key that uses the same delimiter as a path and the SQL backend was throwing away everything except the account guid.
  • More transient-window fixes and other Gtk3 cleanups.
  • Add xmlns namespace declarations to all of the accounts templates that lacked it and remove the emacs mode-setting comments at the end of them.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.6 Release - 2018-03-12

GnuCash 2.7.6 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.6, the seventh release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

New Features for Users

  • Modernise chart colours from the dated CSS defaults to modern colours as suggested by http://clrs.cc/.
  • Add "Subtotal Summary Grid" to the Transaction Report. The subtotal summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey vertically, sec-sortkey horizontally. This will be useful, for example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date, sec-subtotal = monthly... will produce a monthly time series spreadsheet.

For Developers and Distro packagers:

  • Rework source directory structure for gschema, gtkbuilder and ui files. There is now a directory for each respective file type directly in <srcdir>/gnucash as was already the case for gschema files. In principle all files of each type should go into these global directories. The only exception is if such a file belongs to an optional module. In that case the file remains located inside that module's directory. Currently we have ui, glade and gschema file exceptions in aqb and ofx importers.
  • Drop intltool in favour or using modern gettext. By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml. For platforms where this isn't available, setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON will allow building but some strings will not be extracted to gnucash.pot
  • Pass GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT through to distcheck. So that they don't have to be exported in the environment if they're needed.

Bugs fixed in this release

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Csv imp settings - internalize prefix handling This information is not relevant outside of the settings code. The way it's implemented now each settings module defines its own unique prefix and the generic code can just use it when needed.
  • Csv import - improve memory handling in the assistant class. Make it more RAII, in that whatever the class allocates, it should also deallocate. This simplifies a couple of memory handling cases. The only exception is the generic import matcher that for some reason has chosen to deallocate itself. To be fixed when more importers are converted to c++
  • Add some background info on memory management in CSV importers. As the assistant code combines multiple memory management models care should be taken not to mix them up. The notes should give some insights in how to do this. Also fix a few minor issues
    • delete default copy and move constructor/assignment for the assistant gui class
    • nullify a freed pointer
  • Lots of transient parent warnings fixed.
  • Fix Segmentation fault when going to File->New. When selecting the File->New with existing register pages open a crash can happen as the register pages get closed forcing a page-changed signal to queue the page focus function when there is no page. Add a call to remove the page focus function in the ..destroy_widget function. Also with the addition of g_idle_remove before the add when page-changed is emitted the page focus function only gets run once.
  • Speed up GUID equality comparison.
  • Fix CPack package version number. Currently running "ninja-build package" produces a file with an incorrect version number. This patch passes the CMake version variables into CPack to get the correct filename. Note, however, that there's more work to do to get CPack to actually be useful and the current CPack settings may be removed unless that other work is done.
  • Add spacing between border and text in dialog "New Accounts Hierarchy Setup".
  • With register obscured the sheet kept being redrawn When the register is obscured by another window, the sheet would get lot of draw events. This was tracked down to getting the foreground colour for the item-edit widget for the state GTK_STATE_FLAG_NORMAL. Changed this to use the value obtained from gtk_widget_get_state_flags.
  • Use the gnc_prefs_get_bool values to update cache values. This way is a safer way to update the cache values in case the settings changed signal fails to trigger or there is a double trigger and the cached value gets out of sync with the preference value.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.5 Release - 2018-02-25

GnuCash 2.7.5 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.5, the sixth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

New Features for Users

  • Locate all user data and configuration files to platform-dependent standard locations:
    • Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
    • MacOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash
    • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
    GnuCash currently uses the following files in this directory:
    • log.conf (to set what gets logged to gnucash.trace)
    • config-user.scm (to add custom scheme code like custom reports; replaces config.user and config-<version>.user)
    • gtk-3.0.css (For theming)
    On Windows and with the MacOS Gnucash.app we distribute the files will already be in the correct locations; users will need to rename any config*.user files to config-user.scm. On other platforms except MacOS, where those files were previously stored in $HOME/.gnucash, GnuCash will move log.conf (if it exists) and the most recent config*.user, renaming the latter, automatically. MacOS installations other than our Gnucash.app bundle will have their data and configuration files in $HOME/.gnucash but users will have to copy the files to $HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash themselves.
  • Further improvements to the Transaction and Income-GST-statement reports.
  • Transaction Report: omit display of $0 in subtotals in other currencies. Previously in dual-subtotal columns, the dual-subtotal would attempt to print all commodities in the row. This meant if user chose common-currency thereby triggering additional commodities, the dual-subtotal would attempt to add amounts in other commodities which would be 0, and display the 0 amount.

For Developers and Distro packagers:

  • Some cruft removal in libgnucash/scm plus moving some code to its only use location. "main.scm" is renamed to "utilities.scm".
  • The "printf" family of Scheme custom functions is replaced with the built-in "format" facility.
  • Change a generally unnecessary warning about being unable to open a module (usually because the file is still being created) to a debug message. It appears mostly during highly parallel builds and was distracting.
  • Added dependency information to all CMake targets, replacing a dependency on build order that was carried over from autotools. Highly parallel builds in ninja now complete without interuption.
  • Ensure that all GtkBuilder and GtkUIManager files are correctly installed and that no configuration of build products in those directories are.
  • Appstream configuration is updated to the latest spec.
  • Fix installation of a gnucash-only gschemas.compiled overwriting the system one. Note that if you install to a DESTDIR you'll need to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving the contents of $DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
  • Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
    • gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide it from the user.
    • gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with different parameters.
    For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts" name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters e.g. limited account types.

Bugs fixed in this release

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • An optimization in the GncDateTime string constructor provides substantial speed up of loading SQL databases, and one in Scheduled Transaction creation will speed up creation of large numbers of scheduled transactions.
  • More dialogs have transient-for set so that they pop up over the window instead of in the upper left-hand corner of the monitor.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

Updated Translations:

German, Greek, Slovak, Spanish

A new set of business account templates for India's new GST; use locale en_IN to enable them.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.4 Release - 2018-02-03

GnuCash 2.7.4 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.4, the fifth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

We appologize to translators, this release includes a few string changes: A couple of documentation strings for the Alphavantage API Key preference and some button mnemonic changes which change the msgid by adding an underscore.

New Features for Users

  • A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment.
  • On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
  • The detected Finance::Quote version is displayed in the About box.
  • Removed all references to the various Yahoo! quote sources and made Alphavantage the default.

For Developers and Distro packagers:

  • The autotools build system has been removed.
  • Add a "pot" target to the build system so that translators can easily generate a new gnucash.pot from a git repository.
  • Improve handling of generated distributable files
  • Fix make dist on a clean checkout:

    cmake with unix makefiles fails to resolve dist dependencies added from COPY_FROM_BUILD if these dependencies aren't built yet. This commit replaces the COPY_FROM_BUILD based logic with two new functions 'dist_add_configured' and 'dist_add_generated' to indicate which files should be included in the dist tarball. The latter also adds a target level dependency to the dist tarball custom command. Hence the former should be used for files that get generated during a cmake run while the latter should be used for files generated as the result of a 'make/ninja-build' run (like files for which an add_custom_command rule exists). Note: this commit also temporarily disables the dist target when building from a tarball (and hence it won't be tested in distcheck either). This will be handled in a future commit.

  • Add DL_LIBS to gncmod-gnome-utils target. Fixes a build problem in FreeBSD.
  • Detect presence or absence of libxml2 and makeinfo during configuration; abort if the first is missing and don't build the (mostly obsolete) texinfo documentation if the latter is. Document both in README.dependencies.
  • Replaced Timespec with time64 in the Scheme and Python bindings, introducing many new C time64 functions to accomodate the replacement. Timespec will eventually be removed from the C API as well.

Bugs fixed in this release

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • The long-standing known problem, AQBanking setup crashing on Windows.
  • Webkit crashing the MacOS Gnucash.app.
  • Some Guile 2.2 issues are resolved.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.3 Release - 2017-12-31

GnuCash 2.7.3 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.3, the fourth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

With this release we set feature freeze and string freeze. Translators and documentors are implored to begin work so that the localization and documentation will be ready for the 3.0 release.

New Features for Users

  • A greatly enhanced Transaction report with many new options and features including a reconciliation report thanks to Chris Lam.
  • Removed 6-figure rounding from price calculations, allowing prices to have up to 18 digit precision.
  • A flatter storage scheme for Bayes account-matching scores, thanks to Aaron Laws. This is a compatibility change guarded by a feature.
  • GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2
  • A CSV Price importer, thanks to Bob Fewell.
  • Enhanced python bindings exposing more GnuCash API thanks to Guy Taylor

Bugs fixed in this release

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Tests now pass in all timezones.
  • More dialogs are made "transient for" so that they pop up centered on the main Gnucash window instead of somewhere on the left edge of the screen.
  • A lot of Gtk3 issues and errors are fixed, thanks to Bob Fewell.
  • Test struct tm* returns from gnc_gmtime and gnc_localtime to ensure that we don't crash for dereffing a nullptr.
  • Removed the gnc:numeric type from Scheme code in favor of Scheme's own rational numbers. This allows direct conversion between Scheme numbers and gnc_numeric without the performance or accuracy penalties arising from using doubles as an intermediary.
  • Pass KVP paths as a collection of elements instead of a delimited string. This allows keys to contain '/'. Thanks to Aaron Laws.
  • Added a frameowrk for migrating preferences.
  • Made separate functions for finding a widget's parent window: gnc_ui_get_gtk_window tries to find the immediate parent and gnc_ui_get_main_window tries to find the widget's parent toplevel, returning the first-mapped window.
  • Make the splash/lock screen the transient parent for dialog boxes if the main window is not yet mapped.
  • Rework directory determination in CMake builds.

    Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state of ENABLE_BINRELOC, GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and whether any install paths have been set outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

    GNUInstallDirs changes the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the operating system and distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr, /usr/local, or any subdirectory of /opt it also changes CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by Aaron Laws mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the build library directory.

    It's possible for builders to set any of the install directories anywhere they please. Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks Binreloc so the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and disables Binreloc. If Binreloc is enabled then all path queries use it to find paths. This works in the build directory because the gnucash executable and all of the test programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path. If Binreloc is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set GNC_BUILDDIR to the absolute path of the build directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR replaces CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are appended whole to GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake and gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR without Binreloc.

Important update notification

If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.

Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.2 Release - 2017-11-25

GnuCash 2.7.2 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.2, the third release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

Bugs fixed in this release

  • Bug 734865 - Assign as Payment... can silently 'unpay' a payed invoice
    • if the selected transaction is already linked to an existing payment, the payment dialog will present this payment again (same partner, post-to account, same selected document(s), same amount, memo, and transfer account).
    • if the selected transaction is not linked to an existing business transaction the logic will make a best guess as to whether the payment should be for a customer or vendor.
    • in both situations if the existing transaction has multiple splits that can be considered as transfer (or 'payment') splits the payment dialog can't work with it (it can only deal with one transfer split). In this case the user will be informed that only one valid transfer split will be retained and the others ignored.
    • the other thing the payment dialog can't handle are APAR type splits that are not associated to a lot at all. In case of transactions not part of a business transaction they will be silently ignored on the assumptions these were manually entered transactions with the intention to be linked to business transactions. On the other hand if such a split is part of a transaction that is also linked to a business payment already, a warning will be issued these splits will be removed from the new payment.
  • Bug 778692 - Assign as payment should work for employee expense vouchers
    • if gnucash can deduce a partner from the transaction that partner will be proposed this works for all transactions that are part of a business transaction already and will correctly detect pre-existing customer, vendor and employee payments
    • if no partner can be deduced gnucash will assume the transaction to be a vendor or customer payment based on the sign
    • in all cases the user can change the partner type in the payment window that's presented to any of customer, vendor or employee to correct gnucash' suggestion.
  • Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend.

    Wherin the problem is that MySQL's TIMESTAMP has a date range of 1970-01-01 00:00:01 to 2038-01-19 03:14:07 and is unable to handle time_t of 0. MySQL's TIMESTAMP also assumes that input is in the server's timezone and adjusts it to UTC. GnuCash has already done that conversion.

  • Bug 789608 - Compilation problems when linking libraries.
  • Bug 789928 - FTBFS with libdbi 0.9.0-5 on Debian.
  • Bug 790550 - FTBFS: missing __init__.py

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • SQL parameter quoting is corrected in the backend so that only string parameters are quoted. This caused trouble when trying to store SQL NULL; the string 'NULL' is different from the value NULL.
  • SQL table versions weren't set consistently and a bogus version test could cause some tables to be not loaded.
  • Better, more targeted handling of MySQL's penchant for setting date-time fields to "0000-00-00 00:00:00" if it doesn't like the input. This should be much less common thanks to fixing Bug 784623.
  • Major repairs to the "Dense Calendar" date selector.
  • Fix colors on graph reports so that the selections work and the defaults are no longer transparent.
  • Two large batches of styling fixes for Gtk3 from Bob Fewell.
  • Fix the guile-compiled path in the environment file so that GnuCash can start on Windows.
  • Convert the graphical reports to use GnuCash's rational numbers instead of doubles for better accuracy.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

  • On Microsoft Windows starting the AQBanking Setup Wizard crashes GnuCash.
  • test-import-bayes built with autotools intermittently fails at line 381, where the returned value is 1 instead of the expected 6.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.0 Release - 2017-10-17

GnuCash 2.7.0 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.0, the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

Note: Version information in the splash screen and About dialog will now reflect the date of the last commit used to build GnuCash rather than the date it was compiled. This is to assist quality assurance and debugging efforts by Linux distribution maintainers.

For Users

  • The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses the Gtk+-3.0 Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was forced on us by some major Linux distributions dropping support for the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the Webkit project doesn't support Microsoft Windows with the newer API so that platform will continue to use the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0 as the minimum version because it fully supports CSS theming. (Geert Janssens, Robert Fewell, and John Ralls)
  • There's a new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new features including the ability to re-import CSV files exported from GnuCash. (Geert Janssens)
  • Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating system's conventions by default. It's still possible to override with the environment variable GNC_DATA_HOME, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash. (Geert Janssens)
  • Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead of names so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you rename an account. This will make your file unreadable by previous versions of gnucash. There's a new editor to remove outdated or incorrect match data from the import maps, a new user interface for managing files associated with transactions, an improved facility for removing old prices from the price database, and a way to remove deleted files from the history list in the file menu. (All from Robert Fewell!)
  • Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old 6-digit-maximum fraction will be a 9-digit maximum by 2.8. there is still some cleanup required before the limit can actually change. (John Ralls)
  • New Income GST Report and some improvements to the Transaction report. (Christopher Lam)
  • Chart Reports appearance is improved (Carsten Rinke)

For Developers

  • The code is reorganized into a core library directory, libgnucash, and applications-specific directory, gnucash. Code lifted from other projects is in borrowed. (Geert Janssens)
  • Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten in C++, an effort that will continue in the next development cycle. KVP is now private to libgncmod-engine. Object properties stored using KVP are generally accessible using g_object_get and g_object_set; there is also a more direct access available via qof_instance_get and qof_instance_set. (John Ralls and Aaron Laws)
  • KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and boost::UUID respectively (Aaron Laws).
  • The date implementation is migrated to boost::date-time, replacing a Glib GDateTime implementation. This makes the earliest date recordable 1 January 1400CE instead of 1 January 1CE. (John Ralls)
  • Distribution tarballs can now be built with CMake as well as Autotools. (Rob Gowin)
  • The CuteCash front end has been removed. The code we need from GOffice has been brought into the GnuCash code base so GOffice is no longer a dependency.
  • A new Russian translation of the Guide has been started by Dmitriy Mandel. Downloads in the usual formats are available at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/; the HTML is at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/gnucash-guide/.
  • There will be no unstable documentation release at this time. There have been very few relatively minor changes to the master documentation branch; those documents may be viewed in the nightly builds at https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml.

BUGS FIXED (excluding those fixed in the stable branch)

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

  • On Microsoft Windows starting the AQBanking Setup Wizard crashes GnuCash.
  • test-import-bayes built with autotools intermittently fails at line 381, where the returned value is 1 instead of the expected 6.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.6.17 Release - 2017-07-02

GnuCash 2.6.17 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.17, the seventeenth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series.

Changes

Between 2.6.16 and 2.6.17, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Fix crash on Mac when trying to create or edit an AQBanking User. (gnucash-on-osx)
  • Properly define the template namespace rather than using a local string everywhere
  • Correctly store time64 0 in the SQL backend: The SQL backend ignored time64 0 when saving dates. time64 is a perfectly valid timestamp (1970-01-01 00:00:00) and should be stored.
  • Clamp time64 values passed to GDateTime functions to the valid range. Fixes a bug reported on the mailing list wherein a date of 0000-00-00 in a MySql database would crash GnuCash. Such dates may come from a bad conversion of 1970-01-01 or from a crash.
  • Add XSU to iso-4217-currencies
  • Some banks include additional purpose information for a transaction in non-swift-section 17 (aka transaction text). If available, this transaction text is put in front of the other purpose texts to provide full transaction information. Adds a preference to control import behaivour of transaction text.

[news]  Maintenance: GnuCash Server Maintenance Completed - 2017-01-22

Maintenance Completed

The maintenance planned for today has been completed and the new server appears to be fully functional. Service outage began at 2:15 and was completed by 3:30 (local time).

Please inform us if you find any issues.

Happy GnuCashing

[news]  Maintenance: GnuCash Server Maintenance scheduled Sunday, Jan 22, 1900Z - 2017-01-20

Maintenance Planned

This Sunday, January 22 at approximately 2pm US/EST (1900Z) we will be taking the current gnucash server, code.gnucash.org, offline in order to migrate its services to a new server on faster, more modern hardware. Considering MOST of the data has already been copied over we suspect the real downtime will be relatively short as only changes in the past week will need to get copied.

During the time of the outage git, wiki, and email services will all be offline. Email should get queued up properly so there shouldn't be any email loss. But during the outage access to the wiki, email archives, and git commit services will be unavailable. The services on www.gnucash.org will be unaffected.

On Sunday we will make updates on IRC as I process the migration, and I'll send another email when I believe the new system is up and ready. We're expecting total downtime to be less than an hour.

Further notification will occur after the maintenance is complete

  • Fix adjust_sql_option_string test on Windows.

  • Reset the transaction currency to match the currently open account when auto-completing.
  • Refine the MacOS X localization when the system-generated POSIX locale isn't a supported locale: Prefer the country to language when selecting an alternate locale, but still pass the original language to gettext.
  • Check printing: extract address from invoice/bill for payment transactions.

Robert Fewell has contributed changes needed to allow the 2.6 series to read files from future major versions which use GUIDs instead of names to identify matched accounts with the Bayesian import matcher.

[news]  Website Back Online! - 2015-06-03

The Website is back!

Apologies! Power went out during a thunderstorm, and when power came back, the webserver would not boot. The very long uptimes (a year or two or more) that the Linux kernel is capable of also means that Linux distros can make updates during those years (we're looking at you, systemd) that are incompatible with the running kernel. Unfortunately, a power outage is an inconvenient time to find out about the systemd invasion. The old server was unrecoverable; a new webserver was painfully put together. Running a server is not (supposed to be) hard, but there is a rather large quantity of things to install and configure correctly; sadly, this took much too long. But we're back (mostly). Expect a few more burps in the coming days, and smooth sailing after that.

  • Scrubbing Improvements, including avoiding a potential infinite loop.
  • Remove build and run of no-longer-existant intl-scm/guile-strings.
  • Rewrite gnc-test-env in perl. This eliminates another guile dependency in the build chain.
  • Switch from guile to xml to manage our iso-currencies source file
  • Numeric values with more than commodity smallest fraction get silently dropped.
  • Update US Income Tax data to reflect minor changes for 2014

GnuCash 2.6.4 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.4, the fourth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Please take the tour of all the new features.

Changes

Between 2.6.3 and 2.6.4, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs were accomplished:

  • Add business lot scrubbing to Check & Repair->All/This transaction(s).
  • Add context to generic translatable string. This was suggested in bug 671615 by Jérôme Rapinat.
  • Add scrub function to reduce the amount of lot links used. Only lot links between two or more document lots must remain. All lot links between document and payment lots can be scrubbed.
  • Add some date format checking and make sure generated dates are the correct user selected format, not always locale format.
  • Allow the ability to skip rows when importing transactions.
  • Always use the price we display to calculate the current value of an account.
  • Better period totals formatting in Invoices.
  • CSV Export: factor out function to generate regular expression.
  • CSV Import transform macro into function.
  • Convert ISO-8859-1 account chart templates to UTF-8.
  • Correct txf output to use a minus sign, rather than parenthesis.
  • Fix document type dispay for credit notes on owner report.
  • Fix test-backend-dbi segfault with libdbi-0.9.0.
  • Handle the case of scrubbing a lot link between two non-document lots.
  • Make scrub in lot viewer scrub business lots using the new scrub functions.
  • Move account type checking functions into the engine.
  • Prevent older gnucash versions from opening a data file if previously unhandled kvps are used.
  • Python bindings. Add function gncVendorNextID, complementary to gncCustomerNextID.
  • Re-enable loading and saving gnucashdotdir/accelerator-home on OSX.
  • Refactor OS-specific ifdef to reduce code duplication, which results in reduced risk on typos in either branch
  • Refactor get_pay_split into gncOwnerFindOffsettingSplit. In this form it can be used both for scrubbing lot links and for adding new payments
  • Refactor gncOwnerReduceSplitTo out of reduce_biggest_split. It can now be used both for scrubbing and when applying payments
  • Refactor gnc_doc_doc_link into gncOwnerSetLotLinkMemo and move it. It can now be used both for scrubbing and when applying payments
  • Refactor scrub_doc_pay_link into scrub_other_link and make it more generic. It can now be used both to:
    • move a payment to a document lot (its original use case)
    • move a refund to a payment lot or the other way around
  • Relax requirements for booleans in invoice line, accepting 'y' as well as 'yes', 't' as well as 'true'.
  • Replace C++ reserved words for future compatibility with C++.
  • Rework assistant csv import regex code to eliminate the mandatory dummy field.
  • Rewrite invoice payment logic to fix lot link proliferation.
  • SQL: Save commodity namespace changes from template.
  • Set default currency for French account chart templates.
  • Tweak the get_pay_split function to prefer the best possible match.
  • Use libsecret if available since gnome-keyring has been deprecated.
  • Use more significant digits for SX function returns.
  • Use same default setting for quotes in csv import and export.
  • Widen the scope of the subsplit merge scrub function. When used in a strict sense it will only merge splits that are marked as subsplits of each other. In relaxed mode it will merge any split two splits that are both in the same lot and the same transaction.
  • double_to_gnc_numeric: Return overflow error immediately on invalid input.
  • Ensure that the root account is saved to the SQL backend.

Chart-of-Account Templates Updated: Latvian, French, Swedish

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.5.10 (Unstable) Release - 2013-12-15

GnuCash 2.5.10 (Unstable) released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.5.10, the eleventh release in the 2.5.x series of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX.

WARNING: This is an UNSTABLE version of GnuCash.

This release is intended for everyone who wants to help find bugs and other problems to make the eventual stable release better.

Make sure you make backups of any files used in testing versions of GnuCash in the 2.5.x series. Although the developers go to great lengths to ensure that no data will be lost we cannot guarantee that your data will not be affected if for some reason GnuCash crashes in testing these releases.

This is the second "beta" release, with 2.6.0 planned for release 29 December. String and Feature Freeze are now in effect. No new features affecting strings, API, or UI should be committed until after 2.6.0 is released.

NOTE: The latest stable version is 2.4.13.

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 the 2.5 series

  • Register2 is now a configure option. Default builds, including the Windows and Mac All-in-one packages, will use only the old register. We've decided that it isn't ready for general use and the principal author doesn't have time to make it ready in time for a 2.6 release.
  • 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, but enabling Guile-2.0 support requires building GnuCash with Swig-2.0.10. The distribution tarballs were built with this version and should work 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

  • Geert Janssens has rewritten the preferences system to use GSettings from GIO (GLib) instead of GConf. This is a simpler and more robust backend which writes to the OS's native prefs — defaults on OS X and the Registry on MSWindows — and allows us to remove several troublesome dependencies including GConf, ORBit, and DBus.

    Note that window position, column sizes, and sort orders will not be migrated from GConf. Those settings will revert to the default the first time you use Gnucash 2.5.6 or later, but they will be saved once you've reset them.

  • Patrick has contributed a new feature allowing one to link an external file to a transaction. This long-requested feature is available through the Transaction menu and a transaction's context menu. The files are displayed in the default viewer for that file type.
  • 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.
  • Frédéric Perrin has contributed a change to display currency symbols whenever they are known and unambiguous.
  • By agreement of all authors we have relicensed GnuCash to the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later from just Version 2.

Changes Since the Last Unstable Release

  • Bug #336843: Attach images/files/urls to transactions: Disable the "show attachment" menu item if the transaction has no attached file.
  • Bug #619478:Build warning in html/gnc-html-webkit.c
  • Bug #627575: Stylesheet names with non-alphanumeric characters and saved-reports
  • Bug #630578: current date instead of posting date in exchange rate, when posting a bill
  • Bug #632588: Scrub doesn't fix missing currency
  • Bug #639371: Welcome Sample Report reports wrong version and has a broken report
  • Bug #653594: wrong amount printed on checks

  • Bug #715123: Post invoice problem, cannot unpost

  • Fix Python tests to no longer require gsettings schemas installed.
  • Fix the CuteCash (Qt GUI based) build
  • Multi-currency "Post invoice" improvements
  • Protect gnc_mktime against bad dates.
  • Protect against null account pointers in a couple of place to avoid asserts.
  • Qif Import Assistant: Don't disable the whole dialog, just the Forward button.
  • QifImport: Fix crash from attempting to import an empty file.
  • Add the ability to search for transactions that are, or are not, book closing entries.
  • Move customer, bill, and invoice importers form the business menu to the file menu.
  • Rename some directories in src/import-export so that the gschema.xml.in.in files within them don't have pathnames that are too long for tar when the GnuCash version exceeds 5 digits (e.g., 2.5.10).
  • Translations updated: German, Italian, French
  • New Translation: Arabic

Caveats for Testers

Any 2.5.x version might crash unexpectedly. If you must test with important data in a 2.5.x release and are using the XML file backend for data storage, be sure to save the file frequently. If you are using the SQL backend, this is not required as every change is saved immediately to the database.

Although the screenshots have been updated in the documentation, much of the wording still describes GnuCash-2.4. Please help update the documentation: See the development wiki page on how to get involved.

How can you help?

  • Testing: Please try out as many features as you can. Report problems either in bug reportsor on the devel mailing list
  • Translating: Translators may begin work on new strings at any time, and while we haven't yet announced string freeze it's imminent. Status of translations is shown on the translation status page. If GnuCash isn't fully translated into your language and you'd like to pitch in, here's how to get involved.

Getting GnuCash

Source code for GnuCash 2.5.10 can be downloaded from multiple locations:

  • The GnuCash website
  • Sourceforge: bzip2, gzip, all files.
  • You can also checkout the sources directly from the repository with subversion:

    svn co http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk gnucash

    Or with git:

    git clone git://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git

To install GnuCash, you will need Gnome 2 and guile 1.8 or 2.0, including devel packages. In addition you will need swig (swig-2.0.10 for guile 2.0, see the note at the top) if compiling from subversion or git.

Win32 and MacOSX binary

The following pre-compiled application packages are also available:

About the Program

GnuCash is a free, open source accounting program released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2 or Version 3 and available for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows. Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable release was in 1998.

[news]  Wanted: nice screenshots of GnuCash in action - 2013-12-02

Wanted to contribute to GnuCash but don't know how ? Here's your chance

The gnome platform is changing its software centre to work more like an appstore. So each application that wants to be visible in the new software centre needs some nice screen shots to show and a nice summary of what the application does.

That's the very short explanation. More details about this can be found here.

So what can you do ?

  1. Look at the description that is currently in our appdata file and make it better. The guidelines for a proper description can be found here.

  2. Make some nice screen shots of GnuCash in action and make them available somewhere for us to view. The best 3 will be used for the software centre. If there are many more submissions, a selection of the nicest screen shots will be used for a gallery on the GnuCash website.

Timing: please submit your work before December 10, so we can make the selection for the release-candidate release mid-December. To inform us of your work please send a mail to gnucash-devel@gnucash.org.

You will be doing many users a favour with this relatively easy opportunity to contribute.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.5.9 (Unstable) Release - 2013-12-01

GnuCash 2.5.9 (Unstable) released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.5.9, the tenth release in the 2.5.x series of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software which will soon lead to the stable version 2.6.0. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX.

WARNING: This is an UNSTABLE version of GnuCash.

This release is intended for everyone who wants to help find bugs and other problems to make the eventual stable release better.

Make sure you make backups of any files used in testing versions of GnuCash in the 2.5.x series. Although the developers go to great lengths to ensure that no data will be lost we cannot guarantee that your data will not be affected if for some reason GnuCash crashes in testing these releases.

This is the first "beta" release, with 2.6.0 planned for release 29 December. String and Feature Freeze are now in effect. No new features affecting strings, API, or UI should be committed until after 2.6.0 is released.

Translation Note: We found it desirable to fix some typos and add two translatable strings, "Bill Information" and "Voucher Information" to the latest release. Please update your templates.

NOTE: The latest stable version is 2.4.13.

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 the 2.5 series

  • Register2 is now a configure option. Default builds, including the Windows and Mac All-in-one packages, will use only the old register. We've decided that it isn't ready for general use and the principal author doesn't have time to make it ready in time for a 2.6 release.
  • 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, but enabling Guile-2.0 support requires building GnuCash with Swig-2.0.10. The distribution tarballs were built with this version and should work 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

  • Geert Janssens has rewritten the preferences system to use GSettings from GIO (GLib) instead of GConf. This is a simpler and more robust backend which writes to the OS's native prefs — defaults on OS X and the Registry on MSWindows — and allows us to remove several troublesome dependencies including GConf, ORBit, and DBus.

    Note that window position, column sizes, and sort orders will not be migrated from GConf. Those settings will revert to the default the first time you use Gnucash 2.5.6 or later, but they will be saved once you've reset them.

  • Patrick has contributed a new feature allowing one to link an external file to a transaction. This long-requested feature is available through the Transaction menu and a transaction's context menu. The files are displayed in the default viewer for that file type.
  • 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.
  • Frédéric Perrin has contributed a change to display currency symbols whenever they are known and unambiguous.
  • By agreement of all authors we have relicensed GnuCash to the Gnu Public License Version 2 or later from just Version 2.

Changes Since the Last Unstable Release

  • Bug #644044: Lots: SQL backend loses link to Gain/Loss Txn
  • Bug #704506: Connection loss to mysql after resume from hibernation
  • Bug #707311: Tax Invoice fails to open when using guile 2
  • Bug #710871: Python site-packages not found when not installed to default location using --prefix
  • Bug #710905: Column withs, visibility, order and sort order not saved and restored
  • Bug #711289: Win32 time zone handling is inconsistent between 2.4 and 2.5
  • Bug #712299: Tax Invoice with guile 2 doesn't display currency symbols
  • Bug #715041: Crash opening a file when a file is already open.
  • Bug #715184: Bill or Invoice; a new Bill gives a new Invoice
  • Bug #719471: Unused commodities saved to XML file
  • No Bug Report: Work around libxml2 gzip archive alignment bug which occasionally prevented compressed XML files from opening.
  • Translations updated: German, Italian

Caveats for Testers

Any 2.5.x version might crash unexpectedly. If you must test with important data in a 2.5.x release and are using the XML file backend for data storage, be sure to save the file frequently. If you are using the SQL backend, this is not required as every change is saved immediately to the database.

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 the 2.5 series

  • 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

    Note that this introduces some new preferences:

    • In the Accounts Pane:
      • Show the Account Color as background
      • Show the Account Color on tabs
      These both default to "off", which means that if you have account colors on tabs in an earlier version of GnuCash, you'll want to enable the second one.
    • In the Register Defaults Pane:
      • Number of characters for auto complete
      • Show entered and reconciled dates on selection
      • Show the calendar buttons
      • Move the selection to the blank split on expand
      These affect the behavior of only the new Register2 windows.
    These new preferences have not yet been documented in the Help Manual.
  • 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, but enabling Guile-2.0 support requires building GnuCash with Swig-2.0.10. The distribution tarballs were built with this version and should work 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

This is a simpler and more robust backend which writes to the OS's native prefs — defaults on OS X and the Registry on MSWindows — and allows us to remove several troublesome dependencies including GConf, ORBit, and DBus.

    WARNING: Preferences are not completely migrated from GConf
    Some preferences are not yet migrated. What's more, the migration occurs every time you start up, over-writing anything that you've changed, so you may want to move ~/.gconf aside after the first time you run GnuCash-2.5.6. You can move it back when you need to use 2.4.13 for real work.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Changes Since the Last Unstable Release

  • Bug #63362: Unable to create "reversing transaction" again after it is removed with the SQL backend.
  • Bug #654196: "Make check" fails when built with --enable-dbi and no dbi backends are installed. Now fails in configure, as it should.
  • Bug #674862: 2038 Bug with Postgres and MySql backends.
  • Bug #682280: Bill/Invoice importer fails to save the imported item to the SQL backend.
  • Bug #684670: Interest amount calculation is wrong in SQL backend. The backend wasn't storing the already-elapsed periods.
  • Bug #699450: New budgets cause Account Name column to expand until display bigger than screen. – Robert Ratliff
  • Bug #708700: Make check fails from missing glib bits – Frédéric Perrin
  • Translations updated: Dutch

Caveats for Testers

Any 2.5.x version might crash unexpectedly. If you must test with important data in a 2.5.x release and are using the XML file backend for data storage, be sure to save the file frequently. If you are using the SQL backend, this is not required as every change is saved immediately to the database.

Although the screenshots have been updated in the documentation, much of the wording still describes GnuCash-2.4. Please help update the documentation: See the development wiki page on how to get involved.

How can you help?

  • Testing: Please try out as many features as you can. Report problems either in bug reportsor on the devel mailing list
  • Translating: Translators may begin work on new strings at any time, though string freeze isn't planned until the 2.5.6 release in early September. Status of translations is shown on the translation status page. If GnuCash isn't fully translated into your language and you'd like to pitch in, here's how to get involved.

Getting GnuCash

Source code for GnuCash 2.5.6 can be downloaded from multiple locations:

  • The GnuCash website
  • Sourceforge: bzip2, gzip, all files.
  • You can also checkout the sources directly from the repository with subversion:

    svn co http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk gnucash

    Or with git:

    git clone git://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git

To install GnuCash, you will need Gnome 2 and guile 1.8 or 2.0, including devel packages. In addition you will need swig (swig-2.0.10 for guile 2.0, see the note at the top) if compiling from subversion or git.

Win32 and MacOSX binary

The following pre-compiled application packages are also available:

About the Program

GnuCash is a free, open source accounting program released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2 or Version 3 and available for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows. Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable release was in 1998.

[news]  Announcement: GnuCash 2.5.5 (Unstable) Release - 2013-09-10

GnuCash 2.5.5 (Unstable) released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.5.5, the sixth 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.

WARNING: This is an UNSTABLE version of GnuCash.

This release is intended for developers and testers who want to help find bugs and other problems to make the eventual stable release better.

Make sure you make backups of any files used in testing versions of GnuCash in the 2.5.x series. Although the developers go to great lengths to ensure that no data will be lost we cannot guarantee that your data will not be affected if for some reason GnuCash crashes in testing these releases.

NOTE: The latest stable version is 2.4.13.

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 the 2.5 series

  • 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

    Note that this introduces some new preferences:

    • In the Accounts Pane:
      • Show the Account Color as background
      • Show the Account Color on tabs
      These both default to "off", which means that if you have account colors on tabs in an earlier version of GnuCash, you'll want to enable the second one.
    • In the Register Defaults Pane:
      • Number of characters for auto complete
      • Show entered and reconciled dates on selection
      • Show the calendar buttons
      • Move the selection to the blank split on expand
      These affect the behavior of only the new Register2 windows.
    These new preferences have not yet been documented in the Help Manual.
  • 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, but enabling Guile-2.0 support requires building GnuCash with Swig-2.0.10. The distribution tarballs were built with this version and should work 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.

Changes Since the Last Unstable Release

  • Bug #334939: Account Report and Account Transaction Report are apparently the same, but different. Change menu entry for the single transaction Account Report from "Accout Transaction Report" to "Account Report - Single Transaction" Author: Carsten Rinke
  • Bug #603183: Equity statement shows incorrect changes Add function gnc:account-get-total-flow to report-utilities.scm This function filters the splits from the source to the target accounts and returns a commodity collector. It does NOT do currency exchanges. Export the new function gnc:account-get-total-flow from report-utilities.scm. Apply the new function gnc:account-get-total-flow for the "Withdrawal" calculation. Author: Carsten Rinke
  • Bug #629136: Move the code that updates the sensitivity of immutable page actions from gnc_main_window_switch_page to gnc_main_window_generate_title. Patch by Guilherme Salgado.
  • Bug #696492: Change report name in menu or in report output to be consistent Change the register name to "Accout Transaction Report" when the register type is GENERAL_LEDGER, INCOME_LEDGER, or default in function gnc_reg_get_name(). Patch by Carsten Rinke.
  • Bug #704039: time zone is not respected on windows Author: Kuang-che Wu
  • Bug #704056: Online Banking (Online Actions) does not appear in Action menu Ensure that all functions are exported to the dll.
  • Bug #704525: When you have a mix of chart types (bar charts and pie charts). Add new procedure gnc:substring-replace-from-to Similar to gnc:substring-replace, but offers the possibility to replace substrings in a range of occurances. Add calls to gnc:substring-replace-from-to to procedure gnc:report-run. Filter out all occurances of jquery.min.js and jquery.jqplot.js except for the first occurances. Author: Carsten Rinke
  • Translations updated: Lithuanian
