Changes vs. the 2.0 branch: 2.1.1 - 28 Apr 2007 o Welcome to GnuCash 2.1.1 aka "Bug-begone" the second of several unstable releasese 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. o Please test any and all features important to you. Then post any bugs you find to bugzilla http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash o Compared to the 2.0.x series, there are only very few user-visible new features, except for the completed port to the Microsoft Windows operating system. Minor new features compared to the 2.0.x series are; o The Scheduled Transaction Editor and Management dialogs have been integrated into the overall GnuCash User Interface to give the user a more consistent experience in creating scheduled transactions. o Internally, the programming language wrappers are no longer being generated by the not-so-well-maintained package "g-wrap" but instead by the well-established wrapper generator "SWIG". In effect, gnucash does no longer depend on g-wrap anymore but uses SWIG now. o New printing formats for check printing o Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.0 include: o Start-up behaviour has been improved: Windows size is better, splash screen can be clicked away o OFX DirectConnect import uses correct ID fields for transaction matching o More Scheduled Transactions bugs have been fixed o Windows: Reading/writing to compressed data files has been tested more thoroughly and fixed in various places o Windows: Crash on changing default currencies fixed 2.1.0 - 14 Apr 2007 o Welcome to GnuCash 2.1.0 aka "Opening Windows" the first of several unstable releases of the GnuCash Open Source Accounting Software which will eventually lead to the stable version 2.2.0. This release is the very first of to support Windows as a platform and is intended for developers and adventurous testers who want to help tracking down bugs. o WARNING WARNING 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 guarentee that your data will not be affected if for some reason GnuCash crashes in testing these releases. o PLEASE TEST TEST AND TEST SOME MORE any and all features important to you. Then post any bugs you find to bugzilla http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash o If you have the urge to help beyond testing please get involved in the discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you will find at http://www.gnucash.org. We especially need people to help with updating the documentation as all texts refer currently to the 1.8.x series. Please see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get involved. o PS I'm not going to list the many features changed or updated in this release because obviously there is so much that has changed.
