4.3

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.3, the fourth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.2 and 4.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

  • Add custom unbound-variable exception reporter in guile that identifies what module provides the missing symbol.
  • Balsheet-pnl report: show most recent period first by default
  • Change register page icon to a padlock if read only
  • When a resister is read only make whole sheet insensitive.
  • Add account name to the read-only-register dialog box because under some circumstances it may be unclear to which register the message applies.
  • Strictly use use-modules to import Scheme symbols: Guile 3.0 doesn't like the alternatives. This can cause problems resolving symbols if the source of those symbols isn't yet compiled and hasn't been symlinked into the builddir.
  • Don't try to reload report if the first attempt raised an html error.
  • Barcharts: Limit account drill-down depth to 6.
  • I18N:glossary: add mortgage terms ARM, APR, FRM
  • Change the icons used for the file locked dialog box.
  • Add support for the opening balance accounts flag

    Up to now, opening balance accounts have been identified by means of fixed names and their translations. Support Replacing this with a consistent non-translated tag. The actual replacement will be added to Gnucash 4.4; this change is to ensure a migration path.

  • Replace TravisCI with Github actions for CI testing. TravisCI sharply restricted their free support of Free Software projects.
  • Use LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH instead of (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH in environment file.
  • Add a few more CSS classes for labels
  • Add GoogleMocks of some engine objects and refine Import-export unit tests using them.
  • Add auto-clear to register page
  • Change source files dialog-dup-trans.* for space and tabs
  • Fix exception when converting to decimal values that reduce to N/1.
  • Add confirmation of Main Window close when more than one window is displayed
  • Add keyboard shortcuts <Ctrl><Alt><Menu> for the notebook page selection menu and <Ctrl><Alt>A to jump to the Accounts page.
  • Allow using the Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/Down to scroll the report view.
  • Fix report page keyboard focus in the scroll window.
  • Fix some incorrect links to the help file
  • Fix section help on windows not working.
  • Set the visibility of the account column in import-main-matcher depending upon the nubmer of accounts being displayed.
  • Add option to hide memo column on import-main-matcher
  • Fix pressing help button in OFX importer causing main-import-matcher to disappear
  • Preferences dialog: Display the invalid account separator message box only when the user closes the Preferences Dialog instead of after every change to any control.
  • Expose ngettext as gnc:ngettext
  • Add tooltip in import matcher window for description and memo column.
  • Put Macs back on WebKit2.
  • CMake: Mute guile-2.2 again
  • Fix several report stylesheet font-handling issues especially on macOS.
  • Fix price-renderer not converting to decimal.
  • Add some additional places where Check&Repair can be aborted
  • Make the price database list obey the force-prices-to-decimal preference.
  • Several improvements to the auto-clear dialog.
  • Fix some errors found by i18nspector in po files
  • Tax Report Options appeared twice on menu for Chart of Accounts
  • General Journal Report: Allow Report Options>General Title to render document title.

GnuCash 4.0 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.0

Changes

Baseline requirements

Operating Systems:

  • Linux: Ubuntu 18.04LTS
  • MacOS: 10.13
  • Windows: 8.1

Software Dependencies:

  • C++ standard is now C++17, requires gcc 8.0 or clang 6.0.
  • Cmake 3.10
  • boost 1.67.0
  • gettext 0.19.6 for general use, 0.20 to generate gnucash.pot.
  • glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
  • googletest 1.8.0
  • ICU, any version.
  • libdbi 0.8.3
  • libxml2 2.9.4
  • swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
  • Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD

New Features

  • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • Business Document Column Widths:

    Entry column widths in Invoices, Bills, and Employee Vouchers may now be saved as defaults for each type of document.

    Two menu items are added to the View menu when a Bill, Invoice, or Voucher tab has focus:

    • Use as Default Layout for Vendor Documents
    • Reset Default Layout for Vendor Documents

    Vendor Documents is for Bills and is replaced by Customer or Employee Documents for Invoices or Vouchers respectively. The first saves the current document's column widths and makes them the default for all documents in the same type. The second menu item removes the customization and documents of that type will therafter use the computed default widths.

  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the Update Association for Transaction menu item that has replaced the two association items in 3.x, allows setting, changing, and deleting associations.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
  • A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.
  • The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time. This does not work on MacOS, which will continue to use a letter.
  • A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
  • Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
  • The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
  • OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
  • Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
  • The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
  • When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
  • New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
  • New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
  • Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
  • Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
  • Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
  • Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
  • Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols for the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
  • GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
  • Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
  • The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
  • The Customer, Vendor, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
  • Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).

New/Revised Reports

  • Income-GST
  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

  • The signature for qof_session_begin(), QofSession::begin(), and QofBackend::begin() are changed to use an enum SessionOpenMode instead of three booleans.
  • gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
    • gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
    • gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
    • gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
    • gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.
    • There's also an auxiliary file, gnucash-windows-locale.c because the localization code proved resistant to compiling as C++. We're planning another auxiliary file for the MacOS localization.
  • A new mock facility for several engine classes to permit better-isolated unit testing of components that depend on those classes.
  • Register filter and sort values are saved in the book's state file (book.gcm) in the user's configdir instead of in the book.
  • QofSession no longer creates its book, instead one must create a book first and pass that to qof_session_new()/QofSession::QofSession().
  • Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
  • gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.
  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 4.0.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
  • Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
  • Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cmake isn't able to find Google test without help.
  • Unit tests for Scheme code with SRFI64.

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.11, the twelfth and final release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.10 and 3.11, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Other fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

  • [eguile-utilities] fmtnumeric displays decimal instead of fraction.
  • L12N: merge recent messages into all po files.
  • Add missing std c++ #includes into gnc-imp-settings-csv-price.cpp.
  • I18N: Improve tooltip about double-line-mode.

  • Invoices were setting the transaction post date to midnight local instead of 10:59 UTC normalized time.
  • Add a tip about announcements and other mailing lists to the Tip of the Day list.
  • Fix three problems with setting dates in the Scheduled Transaction editor:
    • If the recurrence date is before the start date in the current month the SX summary dialog would show the next occurrence in the current month, before the start date.
    • If the recurrence date is one day before the start date the calendar control would incorrectly mark the first instance in the starting month.
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 18th, with a start date on the 20th and an end date on the 17 of the following month. The calendar should show no mark, but fails to erase the marks that were present.
  • Improve python shell output and explanatory comments.
  • Ensure that python help displays help.
  • [fin.scm] return #f instead of -1 if n is out of range
  • Add a "Delete Budget" menu item to Actions>Budgets.
  • [gnc-exp-parser] If gnc:fn returns anything other than a number, abort rather than crash.
  • [window-reconcile] Refactor common actions into WidgetSetAmount.
  • Force WITH_PYTHON=YES for distcheck to ensure that it works from the tarball.

  • glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
  • googletest 1.8.0
  • ICU, any version.
  • libdbi 0.8.3
  • libxml2 2.9.4
  • swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
  • Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD

New Features

  • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --report run --name=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source account. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • The new reports introduced in the Experimental Reports menu are moved to the main menu and the old reports hidden; the old reports can be unhidden by running GnuCash from the commandline with the --extra argument. That will cause the old reports to appear in their regular locations on the menu labeled (legacy). Note that new reports use different options and layouts and you may need to adjust your saved report configurations.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the Update Association for Transaction menu item that has replaced the two association items in 3.x, allows setting, changing, and deleting associations.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
  • A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.
  • The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time.
  • A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
  • Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
  • Add option to save Layout for Business items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing layout for Invoices, Bills and Vouchers to their respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the default layout. Open Business items will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
  • OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
  • Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
  • The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
  • When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
  • New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
  • New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
  • Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
  • Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
  • Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
  • Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
  • Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols for the European Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
  • GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
  • Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
  • The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
  • The Customer, Vendor, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
  • Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).

New/Revised Reports

  • Income-GST
  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

In 3.906

None

In previous 3.9xx releases

  • The signature for qof_session_begin(), QofSession::begin(), and QofBackend::begin() are changed to use an enum SessionOpenMode instead of three booleans.
  • gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
    • gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
    • gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
    • gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
    • gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.
    • There's also an auxiliary file, gnucash-windows-locale.c because the localization code proved resistant to compiling as C++. We're planning another auxiliary file for the MacOS localization.
  • A new mock facility for several engine classes to permit better-isolated unit testing of components that depend on those classes.
  • Register filter and sort values are saved in the book's state file (book.gcm) in the user's configdir instead of in the book.
  • QofSession no longer creates its book, instead one must create a book first and pass that to qof_session_new()/QofSession::QofSession().
  • Add option to save Layout for Register items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing register layout based on the register type to there respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used when opening registers. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the associated default layout. Open registers will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
  • gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.
  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 3.906.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
  • Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings...

Operating Systems:

  • Linux: Ubuntu 18.04LTS
  • MacOS: 10.13
  • Windows: 8.1

Software Dependencies:

  • C++ standard is now C++17, requires gcc 8.0 or clang 6.0.
  • Cmake 3.10
  • boost 1.67.0
  • gettext 0.19.6 for general use, 0.20 to generate gnucash.pot.
  • glib-2.0 2.56.1, gtk 3.22.30
  • googletest 1.8.0
  • ICU, any version.
  • libdbi 0.8.3
  • libxml2 2.9.4
  • swig 3.0.12 Now required for building from tarballs as well as from git.
  • Webkit 2.4.11 Mac & Win32, 2.14.1 Linux/BSD

New Features

For 3.903

  • A new separate executable, gnucash-cli (gnucash-cli.exe on Microsoft Windows) for doing command-line things like updating the prices in your book. gnucash-cli gains the ability to run reports from the command line. Specify reports to run by name or guid. It also provides an export format and an output file name without which it will output the report to stdout.
    • gnucash-cli --run-report=[reportname/guid] datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --run-report=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html datafile.gnucash
    • gnucash-cli --run-report=[reportname/guid] --output-file=x.html --export-type=TYPE datafile.gnucash
  • When deleting accounts the destination accounts of moved splits will be checked to ensure that they have the same commodity as the source. If they don't you'll get a warning and the opportunity to pick another account or to carry on regardless.
  • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want.
  • Python bindings are now localized and their strings available for translation.
  • The new reports introduced in the Experimental Reports menu are moved to the main menu and the old reports hidden; the old reports can be unhidden by running GnuCash from the commandline with the --extra argument. That will cause the old reports to appear in their regular locations on the menu labeled (legacy). Note that new reports use different options and layouts and you may need to adjust your saved report configurations.
  • A new Transaction Association dialog, available from the new Update Transaction Association item in the register context menu, provides the ability to have multiple associations for a single transaction. Associations may now be easily removed.
  • Allow Associations to be added to invoices. The actual association when present is added as a link button which is shown below the notes.
  • A symbol is now displayed on transactions in the register when they have an attachment and the selected font supports the symbol.
  • The OFX file importer can now import more than one file at a time.
  • A new report menu supbmenu Multicolumn contains the old custom-multicolumn report and a new Dashboard report containing Account reports for expenses and income, an income-expense chart, and an account summary.
  • When importing, the matcher will no longer offer to match a transaction to one that has already matched in a previous import, nor will it offer to match more than one imported transaction to a single existing transaction.
  • Support for UK VAT and Australian GST added to the Income-GST report. The reports options are changed from source accounts to source sales and purchase accounts to permit proper reporting of capital purchases. N.B. This is incompatible with previous versions of the report and will require regenerating saved configurations.
  • Add option to save Layout for Business items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing layout for Invoices, Bills and Vouchers to their respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the default layout. Open Business items will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

In previous 3.9xx releases

  • The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
  • OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
  • Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
  • The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
  • When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
  • New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
  • New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
  • Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
  • Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
  • Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
  • Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
  • Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols and the European Privacy Directive.
  • GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
  • Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
  • The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
  • The Customer, Vender, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
  • Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).

New/Revised Reports

  • Income-GST
  • Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

In 3.903

  • gnucash-bin.c has been split into 4 parts, mostly C++:
    • gnucash.cpp, the GUI executable.
    • gnucash-cli.cpp, the command-line executable.
    • gnucash-commands.cpp, implementation for the commands that can be run from the command-line.
    • gnucash-app-core.cpp, common code required by both the command line and gui programs.
    • There's also an auxiliary file, gnucash-windows-locale.c because the localization code proved resistant to compiling as C++. We're planning another auxiliary file for the MacOS localization.
  • A new mock facility for several engine classes to permit better-isolated unit testing of components that depend on those classes.
  • Register filter and sort values are saved in the book's state file (book.gcm) in the user's configdir instead of in the book.
  • QofSession no longer creates its book, instead one must create a book first and pass that to qof_session_new()/QofSession::QofSession().
  • Add option to save Layout for Register items

    Add two menu items under windows, one to save an existing register layout based on the register type to there respective default layouts so the user set column widths will be used when opening registers. The second menu item will reset the column widths to defaults and remove the associated default layout. Open registers will also save their column widths to the page section so these can temporarily have different widths.

  • Input Method handling in the register is moved to the GtkEntry where it belongs.
  • gnc_get_current_session() no longer creates an empty session if there isn't one already open.

In previous 3.9xx releases

  • The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
  • All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 3.903.
  • libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
  • Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
  • Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
  • New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
  • jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
  • Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
  • Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cma...

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0

  • gnc:substring-replace-from-to

Between 3.10 and 3.902, the following bugfixes were accomplished. Some of these will also be fixed in GnuCash 3.11, some are for 4.0 only.

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

  • Fix 3 problems with the scheduled transactions calculations
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 10th with a start date on the 20th of this month. The editor correctly shows the next occurrence to be on the 10th of the following month. The schedule transaction summary dialog incorrectly shows the next occurrence to be on the 10th of this month (before the start date!)
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 19th, with a start date on the 20th of this month. The editor's calendar marks incorrectly show the next occurrence to be on the 19th of this month (before the start date).
    • Set a monthly recurrence on the 18th, with a start date on the 20th and an end date on the 17 of the following month. The calendar should show no mark, but fails to erase the marks that were present.
  • Fix issue when editing the account tree view notes field

    When you try to edit a multiline account notes field in the account tree view you end up with just one line with control characters as it is being edited with a GtkCellRenderText cell. To fix this I have added a new cell renderer based on a text view.

  • Fix failed build of python tests and failed test in 3.10 tarball.
