2.7.0 - 19 September 2017
|
|
|
|
|
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.0,
|
|
|
|
|
the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. Geert Janssens did the original conversion and Bob
|
|
|
|
|
Fewell has contributed much UI polishing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Geert Janssens has overhauled the CSV importer, rewriting the
|
|
|
|
|
bulk of it in C++, adding new features including the ability to
|
|
|
|
|
re-import CSV files exported from GnuCash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Geert has also adjusted the data file directory so that it's
|
|
|
|
|
located appropriately to the operating system's conventions by
|
|
|
|
|
default. It's still possible to overried with the environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier
|
|
|
|
|
versions of GnuCash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bob Fewell has converted the account representation in the
|
|
|
|
|
Bayes import map to GUID from strings so that the matcher won't
|
|
|
|
|
have to be retrained if you rename an account. THIS WILL MAKE
|
|
|
|
|
YOUR MAP UNREADABLE BY PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF GNUCASH. Bob has
|
|
|
|
|
also implemented an editor to remove outdated or incorrect
|
|
|
|
|
match data from the import maps, added user interfacs for
|
|
|
|
|
managing files associated with transactions, improved the
|
|
|
|
|
facility for removing old prices from the price database, and
|
|
|
|
|
provided for removing deleted files from the history list in
|
|
|
|
|
the file menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John Ralls has rewritten the numerics to allow for more
|
|
|
|
|
significant digits. The old 6-digit-maximum fraction will be a
|
|
|
|
|
9-digit maximum by 2.8. there is still some cleanup required
|
|
|
|
|
before the limit can actually change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Christopher Lam has contributed a new Income GST Report and
|
|
|
|
|
made some improvements to the Transaction report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carsten Rinke has improved the appearance of the chart reports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John Ralls and Aaron Laws have rewritten several parts of the
|
|
|
|
|
engine and SQL backend in C++, an effort that will continue in
|
|
|
|
|
the next development cycle. KVP is now private to
|
|
|
|
|
libgncmod-engine and accessible outside via qof_instance_set
|
|
|
|
|
and qof_instance_get. Aaron has reimplemented KVP itself in C++
|
|
|
|
|
using boost::variant and GUID based on boost::UUID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John rewrote the date implementation to boost::date-time,
|
|
|
|
|
replacing a Glib GDateTime implementation. This makes the
|
|
|
|
|
earliest date recordable 1 January 1400CE instead of 1 January
|
|
|
|
|
1CE. We doubt any users will be affected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CuteCash front end has been removed. The code we need from
|
|
|
|
|
GOffice has been brought into the GnuCash code base so GOffice
|
|
|
|
|
is no longer a dependency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rob Gowin, in addition to creating the CMake-based build system
|
|
|
|
|
partway through the 2.6 release cycle, has added to it a dist
|
|
|
|
|
function that allows us to distribute tarballs that will build
|
|
|
|
|
with either CMake or Autotools... but look for Autotools to be
|
|
|
|
|
dropped soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of interest mostly to developers, we've reorganized the code
|
|
|
|
|
into a core library directory, libgnucash, and
|
|
|
|
|
applications-specific directory, gnucash.
