This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
2.2.0 - 14 July 2007
o Welcome to the GnuCash 2.2.0 Release.
o With this new release series, GnuCash is available on Microsoft
Windows for the first time, and it also runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD,
Solaris and Mac OSX.
o This release has only a few user-visible new features, except for
the completed port to the Microsoft Windows operating system. In
summary, the following features are new, compared to the older 2.0.x
series:
o Port to Microsoft Windows completed. Note that Windows 2000, XP, or
Vista is required; GnuCash does not run on Windows 98 or 95.
o Data file notice: In version 2.1.2 the format for scheduled
transactions in the data file was changed. Files using the old format
will be read without problems by this new version, but the new
version of GnuCash only writes the new format. The new file format
cannot be loaded by older versions of GnuCash. (If you try, the file
will fail to be loaded with an error message.) As a result, if you
begin using the new Gnucash, and you have data files with scheduled
transactions, then these files will not be readable by older
versions. If you have to make a new data file readable by older
versions of GnuCash, this can be achived by deleting all records of
scheduled transactions in the scheduled transaction editor.
o SWIG is now used instead of g-wrap for providing language bindings.
o The Scheduled Transaction list view is now improved and summarized
more compactly. The Since-Last-Run dialog has been simplified.
o Check printing has been improved, with new formats and simpler
format descriptions.
o Automatic saving of the data file was added.
o Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.5 include:
o Updated translations.
o Improved handling of Online Banking wizard on Windows.
