Changes since version 1.8.4 are numerous. For brevity, I'll include
the changes from 1.8.6 onwards. Other changes available at
http://www.gnucash.org.
What's New in GnuCash 1.8.8?
o HBCI - Improve error message when receiving zero balance from bank.
o Add account template for Swiss German businesses "KMU" by Tom Winterhalder
o Add *big* account template for German businesses "SKR04" by Betina Schmidt
o Add Catalan and Turkish translation, Updated German, Italian, Czech, Greek
o Add Turkish account template. Updated Greek account templates.
o Remove debian scripts
o Add a comment about minimum string length
o Fix the ISO_DATELEN to be "long enough"
o Fix handling of HBCI direct debits (fix wrong textkey). Fix and initially
implement handling of multiple banks/users/customers.
o Fixed extremly stupid, old bug that causes weird HBCI errors. Improved user
messages.
o Refactor some GUI code. Improve user messages.
o BillTermDecRef should have been BillTermIncRef when setting new bill term.
o Applied Frank Pavageau's patch regarding capital gains to handle split
transactions.
o Don't make a timespec with tv_sec == 0. Fixes some tests on the alpha
platform.
What's New in GnuCash 1.8.7?
o Use instead of "libofx/libofx.h" as it's not part of our system. Fixes a
dependency problem in 1.8.6 release.
o Small fix from hawkfan to get tests to work when building outside srcdir.
o Fix a bug introduced by Matthew -- ANSI C does not allow you to declare a
variable in the middle of an expression. Move the declaration to the top of
the function.
o We don't need the trailing semi-colon because the #include adds one. The
double semi-colon causes build failures in some cases.
What's New in GnuCash 1.8.6?
o Updated Spanish, Greek, French, Czech, Slovak translations
o Fixed extremely stupid bug in the import value setting workaround.
o Fixed problem with SX formula_cell calls
o Merge missing part of 2003-05-28 commit. The log format changes didn't get
commited for some reason, making the log replayer completely unusable.
o Fixed crash during dialog startup on Solaris.
o Turn off scheme garbage collection during query->scm and scm->query
conversion. It shaves about 50% off the test-scm-query-string tests.
o Make test-scm-query-string test deterministic by seeding the RNG with a
known value.
o Add a "slots" parameter to allow for future expansion. Right now this is
completely ignored.
perl module outside of pkgsrc).
Remove --preserve-dup-deps from libtool, compiles and links fine
w/o it. Prompted by comment from Ron Roskens.
Add RCS tag to patch.
This update is based on patches provided by Ron Roskens (roskens at elfin dot net)
in PR pkg/20271 and his posts to tech-pkg@. Furthermore, this update fixes
PR pkg/20109 by Bill Sommerfeld.
Changes since our last version include:
* src/register/ledger-core/split-register-control.c
If we're expanded, ignore TRANS cursor classes. This prevents
a bug where the exchange-rate dialog is realized when there really
is nothing to do (because we're in an expanded transaction).
* src/register/ledger-core/split-register-model.c
Don't PERR() if we have no account -- this prevents annoying
messages when handling multi-currency txns in the GL. Note:
all GL txns are displayed in the locale currency (if possible).
* src/register/ledger-core/split-register.c
AUTO_LEDGER and JOURNAL register types _ARE_ expanded -- return
TRUE, not FALSE.
* src/report/standard-report/advanced-portfolio.scm: add extra
arguments to prevent scheme crash.
* src/gnome/glade/sched-xact.glade: Need to start the Editor dialog
as non-visible so the ledger get's sized properly
* src/gnome/dialog-scheduledxaction.c: resize the cal after the
dialog is shown, so it get's sized properly.
* src/register/register-gnome/gnucash-style.c: temporary fix to
prevent 105346, until a real fix can be created. There is still
a visual artifact leftover, but at least it doesn't crash.
* src/scm/tip-list.scm: remove the tip that says that this is a development
version. (Thanks, pogma)
* src/scm/command-line.scm: remove the "development version" string
when running "gnucash --version"
* src/import-export/import-backend.c: Add heuristic for duplicate
matching by check number.
* doc/README.OFX: Update
* src/engine/gnc-lot-p.h: some strange platforms assume "char" is
0..255 instead of -128..127. Force a "signed char" to make sure
we get the latter interpretation.
* src/app-utils/gnc-ui-utils.c: Don't round unless force_fit is true.
Fixes Debian Bug #179802.
* src/bin/overrides/gnucash-build-env.in: add business-utils
* src/business/business-utils/Makefile.am: make scm-links so you
can run gnucash from within the build tree
* po/it.po: Updated Italian translation by Lorenzo Cappelletti
<L.Cappelletti@mail.com>.
* src/import-export/qif-import/qif-file.scm: mark "splits" as negative
to make sure the numbers are reflected appropriately.
* src/import-export/qif-import/qif-objects.scm: add a neg? value to
a qif-split; use this when converting the split-amount.
Fixes bug #105179
* src/calculation/Makefile.am: need to add GUILE_INCS
* src/engine/Makefile.am: add ${INTLLIBS} for gettext() et al on
platforms that don't have it in libc
* src/backend/file/io-gncbin-r.c: don't need to define functions
that are never used, so move the #ifdef around. Fixes # 105124
* src/import-export/qif-import/qif-file.scm: fix a
wrong-number-of-arguments fatal crash when trying to reparse
dates.
* src/scm/main.scm: turn off devel version message
