GnuCash 5.9 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.9, the tenth release in the stable 5.x series.

Between 5.8 and 5.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Add YH Finance (FINANCEAPI) API Key to Quotes infrastructure with a preference in the Online Quotes page and add financeapi to known sources.
  • Move copied_class and copied_leader_guid

    Move static copied_class and static copied_leader_guid to be part of the copied_item structure. This makes it more evident that calling clear_copied_item needs to be called before copied_item is used.

  • [gnc-datetime] improve CSV date parser with ICU and Boost.
    1. Add dateformat "Locale" with ICU; uses current locale for date parsing. ICU's locale date parser may parse "3 May 2023" or "2024年9月13日" (LC_TIME=zh_TW.utf8) and maybe others.
    2. Augment d-m-y m-d-y and y-m-d with boost UK/US/ISO parsers. This allows CSV import of dates with months as words as "30 Sep 2023" or "May 4, 1978" or "2023-Dec-25". Note boost parser cannot recognise 2-digit years, therefore "30 Sep 24" is invalid.
  • Csv Import - improve assisant's introduction page
  • Correctly handle uncommitted edits when opening a file from history.
  • Don't use gnc_difftime and deprecate it because it casts time64 to doubles
  • [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_substitute_commodity
  • [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_lookup_at_time64

German AQBanking Users:

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

Between 5.5 and 5.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend.
  • [gnc-dense-cal.c] sx popup: show date in preference (cf.locale) format because the date format preference is user-facing and customisable. it's jarring if the preference is dd/mm/yyyy and the display shows mm/dd/yyyy in accordance to the locale.
  • Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction.
  • Date parsing efficiency improvements.
  • Update minumum Python version to 3.8, made necessary by updating the C API in the Python bindings.
  • Replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig. distutils is not present in Python 3.12.2.
  • Query user via dialog for date when creating a reverse transaction.

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

GnuCash 5.5 Released

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

Between 5.4 and 5.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

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

Between 5.3 and 5.4, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

  • [import-main-matcher.cpp] After clicking/toggling A/U+C/C checkbox, reselect the row because it'll be much faster to use keyboard navigation -- use up/down/left/right to target desired checkbox, hit <down> <space> repeatedly to repeat the same action over several consecutive rows.
  • Implement support for !Type:Prices records in the QIF importer.
  • Modernize construction of GObjects using G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE, G_DECLARE_FINAL, etc.
  • Fix yet more leaks.
  • [DBI backend] Change DBI test URLs to environment variables from cmake configuration definitions.
  • Restore the Stock Transaction Assistant to full operation.
  • Fix the Fancy Date file property so that it saves.
  • Fix formatting error in po files project-id line.
  • [simple-business-create.py] Overwrite an existing file instead of crashing.
  • Update github action package versions.
  • Add parsing mixed number and fraction (e.g. 10 1/2) to the gnc_numeric string constructor.
  • Bump minimum cmake version to 3.14 and drop some conditionals for older versions
  • Major speedup in the SQLBackend by replacing C++ exceptions with std::optional for null values.
  • Refresh the GUI on completion of the import matcher so that the imports are immediately reflected in the register.
  • Improve online quote retrieval error reporting.
  • Test loading and saving XML files with and without compression
  • [import-main-matcher] always defer_bal_computation during import to speed up both importing new transactions, and destroying existing ones.
  • GncGtkListUIItem::set_option_from_ui_item: Iterate over selected items Instead of all possible items.
  • Convert gnc-ofx-import.c, import-parse.c, import-utilities.c, import-format-dialog.c, import-account-matcher.c, import-commodity-matcher.c, import-settings.c, import-pending-matches.c, import-match-picker.c, import-main-matcher.c, and gnc-pricedb.c to .cpp
  • By default, filter out online_wiggle in test-gnc-quotes. Running ./bin/test-gnc-quotes from the command line will still include online_wiggle
  • Replace yahoo_json with alphavantage in test-gnc-quotes. yahoo_json is too unstable.
  • Include timezone in price-quote date diagnostic messages.

GnuCash 5.2 Released

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

Between 5.1 and 5.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

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

GnuCash 5.1 Released

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

Between 5.0 and 5.1, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
