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.

file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
1.8.11 - 06 Feb 2005
o Add extra sanity checks and verbose error message if the setup
wizard of aqhbci cannot be found.
o Fix potentially missing initialization of gwenhywfar library, as
reported by Peter O'Gorman on Max OS X.
