General Rules
- Usually stable versions are released at the last weekend of a quarter.
- String freeze is 2 weeks before. To publish the changed messages to Weblate a
make pot; msgmerge …as described in Language_Administration#Program is required.
- It is also a good opportunity for packagers to check for Dependency Updates.
Goals for 6.0
Goals for 6.0:
- Rewrite engine to remove dependencies on GLib/GObject using C++
- Migrate from QofQuery to SQL Query
- Make KVP a backend implementation detail; no direct KVP access except in the backends
- Limit use of Guile to reports and F::Q; all other main application code should be C or C++.
We plan to release GnuCash 6.0 in Spring 2026 with unstable testing beginning in January 2026:
