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.
2.1.5 - 02 July 2007
o Welcome to GnuCash 2.1.5 aka "Release Candidate 2", the fifth of
several unstable 2.1.x releases of the GnuCash Open Source Accounting
Software which will eventually lead to the stable version 2.2.0.
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.
This release is intended for developers and testers who want to help
tracking down bugs.
o WARNING: Make sure you make backups of any files used in testing
versions of GnuCash in the 2.1.x series. Although the developers go
to great lengths to ensure that no data will be lost we cannot
guarantee that your data will not be affected if for some reason
GnuCash crashes in testing these releases.

bugs you find to bugzilla

RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).

* Remove USE_MAKEINFO and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=makeinfo.
* Get rid of all the "split" argument deduction for makeinfo since
the PLIST module already handles varying numbers of split info files
correctly.
NOTE: Platforms that have "makeinfo" in the base system should check
that the makeinfo entries of pkgsrc/mk/tools.${OPSYS}.mk are
correct.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
1.9.1 - 19 Feb 2006

the GTK2/GNOME2 version of GnuCash.
NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT RELEASE!!! THIS VERSION HAS NOT
BEEN TESTED PROPERLY AND MAY DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK (AND KEEP *LOTS* OF BACKUPS)
See the pkgsrc/finance/gnucash package for the stable version.
GnuCash is a personal finance manager. A check-book like register GUI
allows you to enter and track bank accounts, stocks, income and even
currency trades. A full set of reports allow you to see the state of
your finances. The interface is designed to be simple and easy to use,
but is backed with double-entry accounting principles to ensure
balanced books.
Features include:
- An easy-to-use interface. If you can use the
register in the back of your checkbook, you
can use GnuCash. Type directly into the register,
tab between fields, and use quick-fill to
automatically complete the transaction.
The interface is customizable from within the
application itself (no editing config files :) )

account groups to be transmitted to other processes
via pipes or sockets.
- International date handling, many different translations.
- New User Manual and Help
- Redesigned Menus
Gary Duzan in PR 32439:
This is the LibOFX library. It is a parser and an API designed to
allow applications to very easily support OFX command responses,
usually provided by financial institutions for statement downloads.
To my knowledge, it is the first working OpenSource implementation
of the OFX (Open Financial eXchange) specification on the client
side.

and of course, lots and lots of bug fixes

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.
around at either build-time or at run-time is:
USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time
Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
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.

o Fix the last-day-of-month computation for leap years.
1. Alert handling : Xquote can send e.g. an E-mail when some value
exceeds boundaries set by the user.
2. Enhanced the use of XbaeMatrix : allow the user to change settings
on the matrix directly instead of via custom dialogs.
3. Publish full documentation at

Changes:
1.8.10 - 11 Dec 2004
o Don't use C++/C99 declarations. Declare variables at the top of
the function.
o Updated British English, Czech, Italian, Russian, German,
Brazilian Portugese, Dutch, French, Spanish, translations.
o Fabien COELHO's zero-balance patch to remove accounts of zero
balance from the report.
o Fix a broken recursion problem. Don't call show-acct? from
use-acct? so we don't recurse ad flictum. This recursive call isn't
necessary, just have use-acct? recurse unto itself.
o look in ${srcdir} for build-config.scm.in
o Work around problems with libltdl3.
o don't automatically try to (require 'format), so gnucash will build
on an slib-3 system.
o Added quote sources for Indian Mutual Funds.
o Skip the case when a token is the empty string. This caused many
warnings about a NULL kvp_frame lookup.
o Luigi Ballabio's automake patch to gnucash.m4
o guile-1.6 complains about string->symbol when passed a symbol.
o applied Vasil's patch to improve the transaction report for HTML
export purposes.
o Backport of CVS-head changes to improve register open performance
when working with large account trees (>500 accounts). The new code
caches the quickfill tree so that it is shared by all register
windows.
o create gnc:current-saved-reports, as the file to store saved
reports from cstim. Autoload the saved-reports file at startup
(after config.user/config.auto is loaded).
o Added gnc:report-generate-saved-forms that will generate the scheme
code necessary to create a new report from the saved options of an
old report.
o Added example Menu item "File -> Save all reports" that will call
the new report saving function for all reports. This would need more
work so that not all reports are saved but only the currently
selected one -- any volunteer may feel free to add that.
o Fix saving of report: It now appends to
~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 Statusbar tip is now more verbose.
o Add toolbar element for saving the current report.
o Add function for saving one particular report to the
~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 file. Add extra menu only for customized
reports.
o Remove the previous function for saving all reports since it is no
longer necessary.
o Apply David Reiser's patch for Quicken(tm) cheques with stub.
o Apply David Grant's patch to add TD Efunds.
o make the desktop file HIG compliant.
o change the gtkhtml order to search for >= 1.1 before < 1.1, in
order to try to fix#84707 on systems with multiple versions of
gtkhtml.
o Perry Smith's Null Account Patch. Make sure the security is a real
string before appending an account separator, so we don't try to
create a "null" account.
o Add option to include zero-amount splits in computations.
o fix xaccAccountGetBalanceAsOfDate() to properly compute the balance
at the end of the split list.
o Major change for HBCI, back-ported from HEAD. The HBCI online
banking is no longer based on the openhbci library but instead on the
aqbanking library http://sf.net/projects/aqbanking which is Martin
Preuss' successor of openhbci. This means that now aqbanking-0.9.5 is
required instead of any openhbci package.
o Fixes for x86_64
o Update for new LibOfx, this among other things, gives gnucash
Microsoft OFC support.
o Duplicate match tweaks in import code
o Andreas Rottmann's patch to support g-wrap 1.9.
o provide a default account name so we don't crash when someone
imports a broken QIF that has a !Account without an account name.
o Daniel Lindenaar's patch to implement a check-box in the Invoice
Post Dialog (with a default in the File Preferences) to choose to
accumulate splits when posting an invoice, or post a 1:1 mapping.
o Phil Longstaff's patch to prevent duplicate pricedb entries.
o Heath Martin's x86_64 patch
o Mark search criteria for translation -- somehow this had been
missed all the time.
o Change currency mnemonic for "New Israeli Shekel" from "ILS" to
"NIS".
o Identified and fixed several places with untranslated strings.
o Add configure check for libofx version 0.7.0 and respective error
message. Update docs.
o Improve importer performance by matching imported transactions only
against transactions in the proper time interval.
o send an event when a payment is processed so the invoice gets
updated as "paid" in the search window.
o Make sure we set the proper search-type when we create the query,
otherwise the search will fail later.
Package changes:
. install documentation in share/doc instead of share/doc/html
. cleanup of the Makefile
