3.8 - 29 December 2019
Note for German FinTS users: This release includes the latest fixes
in support of the PSD2 changes. The Mac and Windows bundles include
the current beta releases of AQBanking and its support library needed
to work with most German banks' implementations of FinTS.
Translators, Note Well: The obsolete "disambiguation prefix" translator
comments are removed in favor of three-parameter gettext(). See

Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
The Customer/Employee/Vendor reports have been rewritten. The new
versions may be found in Reports>Experimental.
[stylesheet-css] a user-customisable CSS based stylesheet
New stylesheet. Exposes a single text box for full CSS
customisability.
Allow account selection by typing into the post-to field of the payment
window
When sizing some register columns take account of 'Tot' being added.
Take account for the pop up button border in the register.
Change the date sample so it has the maximum text width possible
[new-owner-report] bugfix: balance row needs variable linked cols
Improve translations by scriptedly removing the removed colon suffix.
[report-utilities] bugfix: aging-list was incorrect. off-by-1 error.
[report-utilities] bugfix: overpayment works for AP accounts.
Swap the buttons around on the Budget Open dialogue
Swap the OK and Cancel buttons so they conform to the normal layout.
[report-utilities] bugfix: fix overpayment detection
For 1 payment to >1 invoices, previously would miscalculate
overpayment.
[budgets.scm] Budget reports handle both natural & reversed budgets.
This change is protected by a Feature: Using it will prevent the file
from being opened by earlier versions of GnuCash.
[gnc-budget-view.c] totals - 5 fundamental types
previous showed income/expense/transfers/totals budget totals, of
uncertain meaning. now shows income/expense/asset/liability/equity
budget totals. The 5 lines also become sensitive to the global
sign-reverse property.
bindings-python - drop references to gnucash-env
We no longer ship a gnucash-env script, directly use python(3)
instead
[balsheet-pnl] fix: single-date balsheet missed printing date
[balsheet-pnl] fix: hide Equity sections when not needed
* If currencies are not converted, Unrealized Gains are meaningless.
Hide them. * If there are no income/expense accounts, retained
earnings will be nil. Remove row.
Ignore trailing noise on imported transaction account numbers.
AQBanking6 uses a separate method for retrieving account numbers for
account info and transactions, where the transactions method can have
additional characters, most often the ISO4217 currency code. That
results in match failures when importing. As a work-around, compare
only the length of the account-info-generated online id when
comparing it to the transaction-generated one. Note that this is only
a partial solution: At least one German bank also appends characters
to the transaction-generated bank id and that will still cause the
match to fail.
[dialog-payment] Add warning label if payment is unattached
Completing a payment for a customer without associating with an open
invoice is allowable and is used for prepayments. Enable a warning to
inform that the payment does not have an invoice/bill document attached.
[aging] update error reporting
This error handling was for transactions in APAR accounts whereby
Transaction Currency != Owner Currency. An example is a manually
entered transaction, then assigned as payment to a customer with a
different currency. Update to modern API calls. Show the culprit
split details. Fixed example output: IGNORING TRANSACTION! Invoice
Owner: [None:] Transaction:Txn<d:28/10/19> Splits are:
Split<d:28/10/19,acc:Current,amt:$150.00,val:£150.00>
Split<d:28/10/19,acc:AR,amt:$0.00,val:-£150.00> Transaction
Currency:GBP Client Currency:AUD
Fixed German IBAN error message
Allow edit of some fields for posted invoice
Allow editing of some fields for posted invoice. For reasons, see bug
report: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797400
[average-balance] show monetaries instead of numbers in data table
UK VAT template: replace obsolete EEC and EC by EU
Implements the presentation of static optical TAN challenges (photoTAN
and QR) inside the enter TAN dialogue.
[budget] fixcrash: fix crasher for some periods
eg. the following combo would previously crash: - periods from next
to current - use accumulated amounts
[budget] fixcrash: prevent crash if periods start > end
It's silly to input start-period > end-period. Nevertheless handle it
by swapping them instead of crashing. i.e. report budget periods from
end to start.
[budget-flow] fixcrash: exchange-fn needs to specify exchange date
because some exchange-fn *do* require date eg. pricedb-nearest. use
the period end-date for the exchange date.
[portfolio report] There's no report-currency. Use currency.
[window-report] show backtrace when report crashes
* exposes a SCM string last-captured-error containing last backtrace
* when rendering report-crash window, include it
New Scheme Functions:
gnc:html-markup-ol: creates an HTML ordered list.

The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 605602 - precision of Financial Calculator seems to depend on
locale
Bug 746937 - Template transaction splits are loaded in reverse order
and then not sorted before saving. Actually not sorted
after loading because the template accounts weren't being
committed.
Bug 752395 - Start Day of weekly report doesn't respond to change in
locale
Redefines some functions to ensure weekly grouping in
transaction report obeys locale's start-of-week.
Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend, I can open
in read only mode. Upgrade the splits table as well, an
oversight from the original fix.
Bug 793018 - Balance (with >>eguile<<) - Report Title can't be changed
Bug 795251 - googletest detection cannot be overridden
Bug 796819 - bad icon with Spanish localization
Temporary fix for Farsi, which was afffected, too. As it
is maintained by TP, the final fix has to come from them.
Bug 796952 - Report formatting (justify) is broken
Previous patch reverted and replaced with a more correct one.
Bug 797085 - Import Bills & Invoices – headers not translated.
Make strings translatable. Translators: This adds 22 new
translatable strings.
Bug 797158 - gnc:make-account-sel-limited-option is not working
Option was being deliberately reset to default_value every
time.

Bug 797319 - Mauritanian ouguiya MRO shows too few decimals
Bug 797339 - Online banking frame to small
Bug 797349 - "A"ssociate header badly translated.
Note to translators: This is about msgids of the form
"Associate:A". The correct msgstr includes the part up to
the ':' verbatim with only the part to the right of it
tranlated, e.g. "Associate:П" from uk.po. Each such msgstr
has a comment explaining this.
Bug 797353 - Add copyright and release info in appdata file
Bug 797355 - General Journal report seems to be off balance
Previously, for general-journal, each split was being
analyzed, and only the source split was counted for
totals. This change will means the source split *and* its
peers are accounted for.
Bug 797377 - cmake fails on debian-8 and ubuntu-14.04 with
gnucash.appdata.xml.in does not exist
Bug 797378 - QIF file import fails: Loading gives wrong type argument
in position 2
Bug 797389 - Random Crashes while attaching a document.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
New feature: Multiselection in the import transaction matcher. Use
control-left-click, shift-left-click, or click-and-drag to select
multiple unmatched transactions to match them with a single account,
then right-click to bring up a single-item context menu sith
"Assign Transfer Account".
Set a FinTS product version key when the installed AQBanking supports it.
Reworking of many translatable strings with context to use the modern
gettext three-parameter function instead of the ':' hack noted in
bug 797349.
Stop duplicate entries for the invoice taxtable cell
Do not log an error when no default tax tables are set.
Fix cmake dependency tree so that make/ninja check works without having
to first run make/ninja.
Remove the accelerator for the Clear buttons on the Loan Calculator
because they were all the same and also the same as the Close button's
accelerator.
Change the transfer account notation for single-split transactions in
basic view from "--Split Transaction--" (they're obviously not) to "None".
Correctly parse decimal values between 0 and -1 (e.g. -0.5) in register
caclulations: The negative sign was being stripped.
Require CMake 3.5 or later for all platforms.
Rework the building of libgtest.a from source when the builder sets
GTEST_ROOT or the distro doesn't provide a pre-build one.
Fix crash when trying to display a tooltip in the register split view
when a split has focus.
Fix repeated requests to create a new account when you click No.
Suppress bogus error when creating a new account from register split view.
Fix price conversion report crashes in Balance Sheet PNL and all
average balance calculations.
Upgrade the Budget reports to support accumulated accounts.
Redefine gnc:debug to use QofLog instead of writing to stdout.
Change the Balance Sheet PNL account depth to mean the deepest *selected*
account rather than the deepest account.
Set the Owner Report date option to default to today.
Much Scheme cleanup and more testing.

'From Namespace' and rename 'Commodity From' to 'From
Symbol' so they match the Security Editor.
Bug 797281 - Gnucash crashes when attempting to match online accounts
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
Rewrite the Customer Summary Report to correctly handle multiple currencies.
Improve the Owner Report's find-first function to consider currency when
selecting the account.
Prevent cutting the "anchor" split or pasting another split on top of
it in account registers so that the transaction won't suddenly
disappear from the register page. Displays an explanatory dialog just
like trying to delete the anchor split does. Allow deleting, cutting,
and pasting over all splits in Journal View registers which don't have
anchor splits because they're not associated with any account.
Disable editing the "blank split" (the new split at the bottom of a
transaction in split view) if the transaction itself is read-only.
Use the customer and vendor currency instead of the default currency from
preferences when generating bills, invoices, or credit notes.
Allow assigning a single target account to more than one transaction in
the import matcher. To do this select the new transactions and
right-click to open a single-item context menu. Click the menu item
to open the account selection dialog box. Note that imported
transactions that match transactions already in the eriger,
i.e. those marked "update" or "reconcile and update" are not eligible
for inclusion.
This feature still has some rough edges that are being addressed for
the next release.
Use the default currency from Properties>Accounts for the summary bar
currency to make it configurable.
Allow CSV export of grand total amounts from reports using the trep-engine.
Fix XML file import failures into GnuCash for Android.
Raise minimum CMake version to 3.5 for all platforms.
Prevent crash in Aging Report when the book has no AP or AR accounts.
Fix operation of the "default budget" option.
Change the account-picker dialog to disable the OK button instead of
raising a warning dialog if the selected account is a placeholder.
Fix crash after unloading all files from the QIF import assistant.
Disable the Next button in the QIF import assistant if no files are
selected for import.
New report "Balance Sheet-PNL" combines a Balance Sheet and an Income
Statement in a single report.
Rework localization in C++ on Win32 builds, fixing several crashes and
speeding up file loading by 10x.
Create a console window for displaying stdout/stderr. Define
__MSWIN_CONSOLE__ and recompile to enable.
Keep the selection in the Securities Editor on the commodity after
editing it.
Allow the Securities Editor to stack separately from the main window.
Much more Scheme cleanup and refactoring.
Python console improvements, including switching to Python3 and not
killing GnuCash when quitting the console.

Updated Translations: Croatian, Farsi, German, Romanian, and Ukrainian
Known Issues: (long list redacted)
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 639049 - Asset Barchart Report includes also the first day of next month transactions
If the original date is an end-of-month date, we take it as an
indicator they always want monthdelta dates to be end-of-months.
This works for monthly/quarterly/halfyearly/annual.
Bug 748431 - Wrong average balance for transactions during DST
Replace average-splits with custom loop, cycling through the
balancelist and splitlist, creating interval summaries along the way.
Bug 787401 - Test for the report system - HTML Tests.
Bug 795729 - Advanced Portfolio Report - Percentage rates not displaying leading zeros.
Bug 796498 - Incorrect starting balance in TXF Report calculations.
Bug 796530 - TxnCsvImport - fix loading of saved preset with update of seperator selection. Previously this would cause all but the first column to lose its assigned types.

Bug 796952 - Report formatting (justify) is broken.
Bug 796956 - Aqbanking 6 will drop DTAUS
Adds support for the upcoming AQBanking 6 and removes support for AQBanking earlier than 5.3.4.

Bug 797041 - enum confusion in qoflog.
Bug 797046 - Tools / Price Database / Currencies UI not working since 3.4.
Bug 797067 - Date displayed incorrectly in register.

Bug 797098 - Quitting Gnucash shortly after clicking Save may abort file save.
Bug 797105 - Incorrect local-symbol for SZL currency
Bug 797136 - Balance sheet report "Show Exchange rate" broken when foreign currency is sold completely
For cases where total(amount)/total(value) = 0/0, the price is reported as 0.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
API: Add dedicated api to query build-time, version related compile constants and use it in several location in the code for consistent behaviour.
Budget: Save and restore the Account filter settings.
Build: Fix deprecation warnings for g_type_class_add_private.
CSV Tokenizer: Add additional test to guard against quote parsing regressions.
GUI: Replace ambiguous mnemonic for File>Export>Export Active Register...
GUI: Rearrange menu accelerators for Actions>Online Actions menu items
GUI: Add mnemonic for File>Import>Import Bills...
GUI: Move Balance-Forecast report to Reports>Assets & Liabilities
GUI: Move Void Transactions item in Report Options from the Accounts tab to the Filter tab.
I18N: Fix erratic localization of dates on Windows.
Date format selection on Windows relies on Windows National Language functions and those are unaffected by the POSIX setlocale(). We have in the past relied upon gtk initialization to handle this but it has not been reliable since the move to Gtk3. Note that this applies only when the locale is set via a Unix-style environment variable (typically LANG) or in the environment file; it's unnecessary and ignored when using the localization settings in Region & Language.
I18N: Unify phrases to remove untranslated msgids.
I18N: Restore the global locale after Guile munges it.
There's no way to change the environment locale on Windows so calling setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), as guile does in its init routine, reads the user's Language and Region settings instead of the environment variables. We save the discovered environment locale and call setlocale with it again after Guile has initialized.
Importing: Remove old (non-SEPA) online transaction code, because now in 2019 the banks will only offer SEPA transactions and no others. This in turn means we don't need the old ktoblzcheck checking functions at all so also remove the dependency.
Importing: Usability improvements for Bayes editor window
Remove the "Are you sure" question as it is simply annoying but does not help. Fix some string wordings to be more understandable.
Online Banking: No longer force existence of local BIC code.
Online Banking: Entering of TAN must use normal visibility
The visibility of the entered content was set to FALSE (=invisible) always, which was wrong for certain types of input as indicated by the GUI_INPUT_FLAGS. This should now be honored and visibility set to TRUE (=visible) for the correct flags.
Online Banking: Fix reconcile timestamps when importing balances.
Used to be start-of-day, but needs to be day-neutral.
Performance: Provide a single static instance of C++ locale.
We can't use std::locale::global because all streams imbue it by default and if it's not 'C' (aka std::locale::classic) then we must imbue all the streams that we don't want localized, and that's most of them.
Performance: Add GncDateTime::timestamp().
To provide a C++ implementation of gnc_date_timestamp and to avoid using the expensive and localized GncDateTime::format().
Performance: Implement a faster date-time serialization function.
Has the side effect of recording all date-times in XML files in UTC instead of local time with a timezone. This will help users who like to keep their files under version control because the time strings won't shift every time Daylight time begins or ends.
Performance: >Fix XML load CPU hotspot: Scrub.c xaccTransScrubPostedDate
The refactoring provides roughly 10% reduction in user CPU use for XML file load by moving an expensive function to within an if-clause where the result is used.
Performance: Speed-up of txn match dialog: Suspend GUI refresh during deletion of selected lines.
Performance: Sorting speed-up: Cache the bool value of Transaction's is_closing property.
Register: Accept URLs or file paths for files associated with transactions. File paths can be relative or absolute. A preference is provided.
Reports: Speed up the budget and cash flow report calculation by iterating over accounts only once.
Reports: Heavy scrubbing for code readability and performance.
Reports: New Report by Ryan Turner: Balance Forecast Report
This report forecasts the combined balances of the selected accounts based on the scheduled transactions and plots them on a line graph. You can set a "reserve" amount, which will draw a red line on the graph, so you can easily see if your forecast dips below a given value. There is also a "future minimum" line which shows what the lowest future balance will be at a given point. I find this useful in conjunction with the "target" line for planning.
Reports: Fix crash when loading saved-report with unknown choices.
If a saved-report with e.g. relative date, multichoice option is unknown, the report would crash, and the Report-Options would segfault. This commit fixes both: report-date defaults to 'today', multichoice-options defaults to default-value. Following this commit, if a report loads a saved-report or .gcm from a future version, a gnc:warn will be emitted and the report will not crash; it will use relative-date today. Multichoice will remain the default value. Report Options will not segfault. The user will be notified via a gnc:gui-warn dialog
Reports: Date intervals at end-of-month:
Instead of recursing the date, we calculate the next month using an index-based multiplier, and apply modulo/remainder as appropriate to determine the next month/year. Then we attempt to create new mktime, and if the resulting mktime's month is not as expected, reduce the mday by 1 until resulting month is correct. This fixes monthly intervals for end-of-month days. Test via monthly/quarterly deltas, and also includes leapyear calculation.
Reports: Date-grouping must allow indenting.
Indenting checkbox was erroneously disabled when: sortkey = date, date-subtotal = not 'none.
Reports: Table display
It is intuitive that if the user wishes to show the subtotal-table, and hide the transactions, then both the main (hidden) transactions and subtotals must be hidden as well.
Reports: Update US Income Tax information for 2018.

Scheme: Replace account and split utility functions with SRFI-1 functions.
Scheme: Testing (create-transaction) adds price trading commodities/currency this will modify a test which was calibrated to record purchase price only. fix transaction creation to add prices for both purchase and sales, and also fix test which was assuming no sale price was bring recorded.
Scheme: Testing (env-create-multisplit-transaction) This is the general case for any transaction creation. Rewrite other transaction creation routines to use it. All tests still work unchanged, which confirms this function works well. This will allow tests to create multisplit transactions, of an arbitrary number of splits. If the list-of-split's values are not balanced (i.e. total 0), the engine will create an Imbalance-CUR split.
The motivation is to allow creation of complex multisplit multicommodity transactions eg USD50 + GBP20 (USD25) = EUR66 (USD75) as well as their prices GBP/USD = 25/20 and EUR/USD = 75/66.
* USD -50
* USD -25 = GBP -20
* USD +75 = EUR +66
This will be useful in creating tests for stock-based reports, whereby stock sales need splits in STOCK/ASSET/INCOME accounts.
Scheme: Redesign gnc:account-get-balances-at-dates, replacing the ignore-closing? parameter with a split->amount function parameter having a default value of xaccSplitgetAmount. (split->amount split) should return the amount of the split or #f; in the latter case the split is skipped. This allows for a more general account balance list accumulator with novel balance strategies. For example a split->amount function could test void status and return xaccSplitVoidForerAmount on void splits; test description/memo for some content and vary the returned amount accoridingly; or test the split and return 1 or 0 creating a counter. To recreate the ignore-closing use case pass (lambda (s) (and not (xaccTransGetIsClosingTxn (xaccSplitGetParent s))) (xaccSplitGetAcmount s)))
Scheme: Replace some option names. Automatically convert usage of the old names and issue a warning.

Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
Set up filepath utils to determine the GNC_CONFIG_HOME in the same way
as GNC_DATA_HOME
Until now GNC_CONFIG_HOME was more or less hard-coded. Now it can be
set via environment variable GNC_CONFIG_HOME. In addition it will
automatically be created to avoid potential user confusion.
Redesign gnc-uri-utils
gnc_uri_get_components will now return NULL as protocol if the input
is a normal file system path instead of a uri (it used to
return 'file')
gnc_uri_get_protocol will now return NULL if the input is a normal
file system path instead of a uri (it used to return 'file')
gnc_uri_is_file_protocol now returns FALSE if protocol is NULL
(it used to return TRUE)
gnc_uri_is_file_uri now returns FALSE if input is a normal file
system path instead of a uri (it used to return TRUE)
a new function gnc_uri_targets_local_fs will return TRUE only if
its input is either a file uri or a normal file system path.
This function is now mostly used instead of
gnc_uri_is_file_uri in the current code base
a new function gnc_uri_is_uri is added to check whether its input
is a valid uri (has protocol, path and hostname for non-file
uris)
refer to 'scheme' instead of 'protocol' as that's the more formal
term used in uris
This involves renaming 3 functions:
gnc_uri_get_protocol -> gnc_uri_get_scheme
gnc_uri_is_known_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_known_scheme
gnc_uri_is_file_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_file_scheme
The *_protocol variants are marked as deprecated.
Additionally a number of local variables have been renamed from
protocol to scheme to support this change.
Show warnings for deprecated declarations
We're about to announce our own set of deprecated functions in
libgnucash. That would be pretty pointless if we also would silence
all deprecation warnings at the same time...
More report code-cleanup by Chris Lam, including deprecating the
following functions:
gnc:account-get-balance-at-date
gnc:account-get-total-flow
gnc-commodity-numeric-string
gnc-commodity-value->string
gnc:double-col
gnc:options-add-include-subaccounts
gnc:options-add-group-accounts
gnc:options-add-currency-selection
The following modules are deprecated:
report-system/collectors
report-system/report-collectors
Invoice: Remove H1 title and superflous option.
Printing the title twice is silly, so remove the option and the
H1 display of the title. Note that the remaining title is in a
div named "invoice-title" so it can be styled with CSS as the user
pleases from the Report Options Layout tab.
The preference, use formal accounting labels does not update the header
With a register open and you change preference 'use formal
accounting labels' it does not update the register header so add
a call back for the preference.
Make the grid lines of totals Budget tree view track the preferences
Make the grid lines of the totals tree view track the preferences
to match the account tree view above it.
Add routine to fix Account Color being set to "Not Set"
Previously the account color slot has been populated with
"Not Set" when any field for the account has been edited and
saved. This routine should run once and remove all such entries.
Performance fix in dom_chars_handler: use g_strndup instead of g_strdup
In the appdata/metadata file, rename the ID from org.gnucash.Gnucash
to org.gnucash.GnuCash to match flathub, and add a launchable ID
to link it to the desktop file.
Added double-click-on-file for the CSV transaction, price, and account
importers and exporters.
Cleaned up a variety of issues reported by the clang static analyzer.
Allow the text options widget to use all remaining space
The text option widget used for report options has only about 3
lines visible currently and will not use any available space in
the dialogue. Change the packing for this widget to expand and
fill the remaining dialogue space. If there are more than one text
option widget on a page then the available space will be shared
equally.
Add short_labels for a few toolbar buttons with long names. That should
fit a few more buttons on the toolbar.
Update iso-4217-currencies.xml, adddding VES - Bolivar Soberano, minor
updates of other VE currencies.

Between 3.0 and 3.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 787401 - Test Report System - Report Definition.
• Bug 794617 - Can't compile with -DWITH_GNUCASH=NO due to scm-gnome-utils.
• Bug 795101 - Scroll Bar in Reconcile Window Floats in and covers the check boxes.
• Bug 795247 - datepicker broken in Persian. GnuCash passes dates as integer y/m/d without using locale-specific formats, so we need to strip out 'E' and 'O' from the format when scanning dates or determining separators in gnc-date. None of '-', 'E', or 'O' are supported by boost (and '-' causes errors), so strip them out from formatters in gnc-datetime as well.
• Bug 795253 - Have problems input Chinese.
• Bug 795272 - QIF importer causes application crash if action is invalid.
• Bug 795276 - Invalid date on price stops file from being parsed.
• Bug 795362 - Special variable "i" not parsed in function calls. Due to balance tests with insane random values.
• Bug 795471 - Impossible to Edit Budget Unless Maximized.
• Bug 795519 - Credit card payment after reconciliation.
• Bug 795666 - Backslash '\' in Description field spoils CSV Import without helpful error message.

• Bug 795944 - Cannot store change to Business Suppliers data.
• Bug 796079 - Repeatable Crash in Tax Report Options.
• Bug 796081 - Tax Schedule Report - An error occurred while running the report.
• Bug 796083 - Reconcile Selection Doesn't Work Anymore.
• Bug 796117 - Connecting 3.1 to an existing mysql db drops all data. Provide a backup recovery function that instead of dropping primaries and restoring backups merges the primaries and backups. This should handle a worst-case safe-save failure where the backup tables don't have a complete set of rows for some reason.
• Bug 796256 - Main Window stays hidden when starting after closing main window while minimized.
• Bug 796369 - Notes lost or perhaps just not displaying when using SQLite backend. This bug caused data loss if you saved your SQLite3 database to a different file or database. The problem is that in SQLite3 (though not in MySQL or PgSQL) the subquery ((SELECT DISTINCT guid FROM transactions)) (note the double parentheses) returns only the first guid in the subquery's results. Some transactions are loaded by special queries and those queries are also used to retrieve the transaction's slots so they weren't affected.
• Bug 796398 - Restrict accelerator keys to valid date range.
• Bug 796409 - Incorrect Current Value for Stocks. Missed calculating the value in the register summary bar.
• Bug 796423 - Cannot Input Chinese, seems does not work with other IME too. Toggles not in view with all rows selected weren't being redrawn.
• Bug 796484 - csv import: iostream error. Unfortunately it turns out that we can't use filestreams because they can't take path arguments containing Unicode on Windows.
• Bug 796527 - invalid currency on scheduled transactions.
• Don't even check for price/exchange rate on template transactions, there's no point.
• Check all split commodities are valid, abort transaction creation if not.
• If the template transaction's currency isn't used by any of the splits set the new transaction's currency to the first-found currency if there is one, otherwise to the first-found commodity.
• Bug 796537 - Transaction Report cannot sort by "num".
• Bug 796586 - QIF import incorrectly converts unicode characters from UTF8 encoded file.
• Bug 796595 - QIF Import Select Account button to add a new account is labled gnc-account-new but should be New.
• Bug 796600 - stock split cash-in-lieu income/asset labels backwards.
• Bug 796614 - Reconciliation report contains incorrect transactions.
• Bug 796638 - configuration not properly saved for CSV transactions import form.
The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:
• Transaction report improvements:
• Performance: Do all filtering ops before sorting.
• Move the options summary before the subtotals table.
• New unit tests
• Enable computing averages in subtotal grid.
• Generate the subtotal grid only if the primary sort key enables subtotals.
• Fix subtotal grid to support multiple commodities.
• New filters.
• Much cleaning and refactoring of the internals.
• Cache the num-split-action book option to avoid thousands of KVP queries for the same value when loading a register.
• Create a static string for book option KVPs to save an extra malloc/free on old compilers without small-string optimization.
• Add tooltip support for register cells.
• New unit tests for the balance sheet report and invoices.
• Consolidate charting code into a single module.
• Removed an incomplete and abandoned C implementation of QIF import.
• Restored libsecret support that had been left out of CMake.
• Replace old-style html style attributes with css.
• Modify emitted html to be parseable by the Guile SXML module for testing.
• Remove support for long-gone gtkhtml renderer.
• Clean up code generating html tables.
• Ensure full precision of doubles is saved to SQL. std::iostream's operator<<(double) uses only 6 digits of precision by default.
• Make float database operations more consistent, working around dbd-sqlite3's failure to support doubles (dbd-sqlite3, not sqlite3 itself).
• Prevent crash in gnc-tree-view.c: When getting information from the state file, protect against the key not having a '_' which is used to split the string.
• Add the full account name to the saved register settings If you need to delete the layout for a register in the settings file, the only thing identifying it is the account guid. To make it easier for humans, add the full account name also.
• When register pages are restored it uses the full account name. When register pages are restored, the account is found from the full name so if the separator changes it will fail. Instead, also save the account guid and use that as default to find the account falling back to the full name.
• Fix misplaced try block that caused unhandled exception if year out of range.
• Fix permanent storage of vendor details: Since the data types did not match for the billterms and taxtable, those references/guids were not saved to the database.
• Update invoice reports to use totals calculate by gncInvoice. This should give a consistent representation of invoice data across the application.
• Ensure gncEntry rounding is consistent. Internally calculated values in the entry are never rounded. Consumers of gncEntry's calculated values can request them either rounded or not. Next use a pragmatical approach for calculating values on invoices based on the entry values: do the rounding such that we never create an unbalanced transaction while posting. That means:
• round each entry's net value before summing them in net total
• accumulate all tax totals on invoice level per tax account before rounding
and round before before summing them in a global tax total Hopefully this will catch a few more rounding issues in this area. A complete solution can only offered if we allow users to manually correct tax entries. This requires changes to user interface and data format so that's not going to happen in gnucash 3.x.
• Use Scheme SRFI-64 test framework for new Scheme unit tests.
• New compilers (gcc-8.0 and Xcode 9) bring new warnings, so several fixups to mollify them.
• Lowercase all cmake commands for better readability.
• Metadate migration (2.6.x->3.x) fixes for Windows.
• Ensure timezone is set correctly in FreeBSD.
The following translations are updated: Dutch
3.1 - 29 April 2018
The second release of the 3.0 stable series.
The following bugs have been fixed:
Bug 118391 - Long currency names untranslated
Bug 769686 - Notes not imported when using update and reconcile in
import transactions from CSV
Bug 772776 - VERY large queries (over 11000 fields in IN clause) slow
down GnuCash
Bug 782144 - git-master - Save Corrupts Data File / Not Open Data File
Bug 792105 - Startup takes several minutes
Bug 793461 - Transaction matcher window blank when importing QFX
Bug 794767 - Dates default to 01/01/1970
Bug 794916 - Fails to find environment file at startup when installation
prefix is '/opt'
Bug 794936 - 3.0 does not open previously saved sqlite3 files properly
- corrupted business data
Bug 794941 - Both print icons export to pdf
Bug 794953 - Ellipsize on short tab labels
Correct error on when to ellipsize tab labels. Also as this
is used in two places separate out this to new function so
it is not duplicated.
Bug 794990 - Double click does not work on saved reports
When you double click on the saved report description nothing
happens. This was down to a conflict on a couple of call
backs and one of them was incorrectly setup.
Bug 794994 - Display Alphavantage key in full
Set the entry to expand so all the space is used to display.
Bug 795031 - 3.0 Crashes on loading when opening 2.6.19 file
Bug 795039 - Crash on startup using Technicolor Style sheet in report
Bug 795040 - GnuCash crashes when searching for a newly created bill
Bug 795049 - GnuCash 2.6.20-1 (Fedora Linux package) is unable to open
MariaDB.
Bug 795064 - Enable subtotal-only if either sortkeys are dates
This will allow 'show subtotals only' if sortkeys are
date-types. This allows, for example, prime-sortkey=date,
yearly. sec-sortkey=date, monthly.
Bug 795068 - src/optional/python-bindings missing several files
Bug 795080 - Some dates reset to 01/01/1970
An odd corner case: BST apparently came off of DST at 23:00
26 Oct 2014, so midnight that day was ambiguous about being
DST or not; that causes the local_date_time constructor to
throw in spite of the tm.is_dst element being 0 (meaning pick
standard time). Instead of just failing in that case, try
constructing a local_date_time three hours later then adjust
it back three hours. If *that* doesn't work then throw a
std::invalid argument.
Bug 795082 - CSV import crashes if a transaction's 'Account' field is
empty and no default Account set
Bug 795101 - Scrollbar floats and covers toggle buttons
When the scrollbar appears for the reconcile windows it can
float above the reconcile toggle button which make it
difficult to toggle. Move this column to the start which has
the advantage of aligning the amount column above the Total
value.
Bug 795142 - Unable to enter account codes in business sheets
In Bills, Invoices and Expense vouchers you can not enter an
account code in an account field like you can on a normal
register, enable this.
Bug 795155 - CSV import does not distinguish between deposit and withdrawal
Bug 795347 - Australian (GMT+10) OFX transactions imported have previous
days date
Bug 795377 - Reads and saves Gnucash 2.6.19 XML file, then can't reread
it, due to bad date in old file
Bug 795389 - Hard to see figures in the budget window
The budget view had hard coded black for normal values and
dark grey for other values. Changed this so normal values
are reset to default color and adjusted the grey based on
default color for theme.
Bug 795405 - All Dates in Price Database Off-By-One After 3.0 Upgrade
Bug 795446 - On Windows there is a blank tip of the day
When the tip_of_the_day.list is created a new line is
appended to the list file and on Windows this causes a blank
tip so remove the adding of the extra line.
Bug 795471 - Budget window scrolls edited cell out of site
When editing cells that have been revealed on the right by
scrolling the window snaps back to the left hiding the cell
being edited. This may be due to an underlying gtk issue
but these changes fix the issue visually.
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
On Windows the tooltip for saved reports was incorrect
When the mouse was placed over a saved report description on Windows an
empty tooltip was displayed. Setup the query tooltip callback so it does
not display a tooltip for description column.
Fix crash when loading sql book with posted transactions
Add ability to recognize and use a pre-compiled libgmock.so.
html-font: add default font family
Windows ships with GTK2 in which the default font styles are named
"Sans" "Sans Bold" "Sans Normal" etc. There is no "Sans" font in
Windows; I vote to add a default "Sans-Serif" font-family which is
valid CSS. This ensures exported reports are shown as intended.
Several improvements to the Transaction and GST reports.
csv-impport - Allow empty amount fields
Treat empty amount fields as 0. This is necessary for example in
the case the csv import file has both a deposit and a withdrawal
column.
Remove the set transient parent setting for Reconcile window
The Reconcile option is already a window so it is not necessary to set
this value which allows the jump to transaction to work properly.
Date Format dialog flashes up when file/properties used
When you select the File/Properties dialog, in the construction of that
a 'Date Format' dialog flashes up while the date component is moved to
the properties dialog. Can mainly be seen on Windows so remove the
visible setting in glade file.
Prevent throw in gnc-pricedb.
If a price lookup is given an invalid time64/timespec (i.e. INT64_MAX)
then just return NULL instead of trying to find the nearest price.
Set GNC_VCS at build time instead of when making the tarball.
Because the tarball is always made from a VCS repo.
If there are no prices in the db, critical errors are flagged
When dialog transfer is used between two commodities and there are no
prices in the db a critical error is logged. Test for price object
being NULL before retrieving the price for the error message.

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 3.0, the
first release in our new 3.x stable series.
New Features for Users:
The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses
the Gtk+-3.0 Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was
forced on us by some major Linux distributions dropping support
for the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the Webkit project doesn't
support Microsoft Windows so that platform will continue to
use the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0
as the minimum version because it fully supports CSS theming.
New editors to remove outdated or incorrect match data from
the import maps, a new user interfacs for managing files
associated with transactions, an improved facility for removing
old prices from the price database, and a way to remove deleted
files from the history list in the file menu.
New Reports: A Reconciliation Report based on the Transaction
Report,a Income GST Report, and a Cashflow Barchart report.
A new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new features
including the ability to re-import CSV files exported from
GnuCash, along with a separate CSV price importer.
A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that
Finance::Quote users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment.
We've removed all references to the various Yahoo! quote sources
and made Alphavantage the default.
Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating system's conventions by default:
Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
MacOS: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
It's still possible to overried with the environment variable GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash.
Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead
of names so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you
rename an account. The Bayesian import maps are also stored in
a flatter structure to allow faster access, especially in SQL.
These changes mean that if you have Bayesian mapping data, once
converted your database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.20
and later.
MySQL and SQLite3 date storage has changed a bit. Once converted,
MySQL and SQLite3 database will be loadable only by GnuCash
2.6.19 and later.
Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits.
The old 6-digit-maximum fraction is now 9-digits, and prices
may have up to 18 digit precision.
Chart Reports appearance is improved, including more modern
chart colours as suggested by http://clrs.cc/.
Transaction Report improvements, including regular expression
filtering and many more options and features including a
"Subtotal Summary Grid" The subtotal summary-grid will tabulate
subtotals - prime-sortkey vertically, sec-sortkey horizontally.
For example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date,
sec-subtotal = monthly will produce a monthly time series table.
The About dialog box layout is improved and now includes the
detected Finance::Quote version.
GnuCash will always build the locale-specific tax modules. This
was optional when building with autotools and never enabled
when building with cmake. Note that the only supported tax
locales are en_US and de_DE.
On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2
Between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 787497 - Disabling OFX, AqBanking or python-bindings support
cripples the dist build target. (Partial: The requisite files
for AQB and OFX are provided. There remain ways to break the
distribution.)
Bug 789928 - FTBFS with libdbi 0.9.0-5 on Debian
Failed to create file
"/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled.XY789Y".

2.6.17 - 2 July 2017
The following bugs are fixed:
Bug 603379 - Prevent changing some Account Options if it has transactions
Followup: Relax the account type change restrictions again.
In the new implementation account types can'tz be changed
for an account with splits:
- if the change woud force a commodity change
(to/from normal accounts from/to stock related accounts)
- for immutable accounts
At the time of this commit the following account types are
considered immutable:
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts Payable
- Trading accounts
Bug 776396 - Foreign currency reports, amounts are not aligned correctly
Improve the styling of the table element used for foreign
currencies in the Balance sheet report so they end up
aligned with the other currencies.
Bug 780845 - link in github repo README file needs correction/editing
Bug 780889 - Split-register transactions result in invalid price:type
"transaction": Add 'transaction' to the schema and document
it in gnc-pricedb.h.
Bug 781634 - Alert on missing account currency when opening account
Also separate translatable commodity namespace strings
from those used in storage:
There is now a separate GNC_COMMODITY_NS_ISO_GUI
label to be used everywhere the user needs to read
'Currency namespace'. It's currently set to
'Currencies' and can be translated.
Bug 782274 - Transactions produced by Transfer Funds or Process Payment
dialogs sort to beginning of day and do not honor NUM field
for custom sorting.
Bug 782897 - Stock Split Assistant crashes GnuCash if you enter a New
Price and that already exists in the Price DB
Bug 783095 - gnucash-2.6.16 segfaults on startup
Bug 784317 - typo in 'import customers or vendors from text file' dialog
Other repairs not marked as bugs in git:
Properly define the template namespace rather than using a local string
everywhere
Correctly store time64 0 in the SQL backend: The SQL backend ignored
time64 0 when saving dates. time64 is a perfectly valid timestamp
(1970-01-01 00:00:00) and should be stored.
Clamp time64 values passed to GDateTime functions to the valid range.
Fixes a bug reported on the mailing list wherein a date of 0000-00-00
in a MySql database would crash GnuCash. Such dates may come from a bad
conversion of 1970-01-01 or from a crash.
Add XSU to iso-4217-currencies
Some banks include additional purpose information for a transaction in
non-swift-section 17 (aka transaction text). If available, this
transaction text is put in front of the other purpose texts to provide
full transaction information. Adds a preference to control import
behaivour of transaction text.
