3.0 - 1 April 2018
|
|
|
|
|
The first release of the 3.0 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New editors to remove outdated or incorrect match data from the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
|
|
|
|
|
- OS X: $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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Features for Developers:
|
|
|
|
|
Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten
|
|
|
|
|
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. KVP and GUID are
|
|
|
|
|
reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and boost::UUID respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
C++ unit tests require GoogleTest. While it's possible to use prebuilt
|
|
|
|
|
libgtest and libgmock on some distros, building static libraries for
|
|
|
|
|
GnuCash is preferred. It may be necessary to provide the paths to
|
|
|
|
|
the googletest and googlemock source with CMake parameters
|
|
|
|
|
GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
The date implementation is migrated 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.
|
|
|
|
|
Distribution tarballs can now be built with CMake as well as
|
|
|
|
|
Autotools. (Rob Gowin)
|
|
|
|
|
We've reorganized the code into a core library directory, libgnucash, and
|
|
|
|
|
application-specific directory, gnucash. The python bindings are now
|
|
|
|
|
in a top-level directory, bindings; code pinched from other projects
|
|
|
|
|
is in borrowed, the account templates, check templates, and pixmaps
|
|
|
|
|
are consolidated in data, and common holds the cmake modules and test
|
|
|
|
|
framework code. The bin directory's contents have moved to the top
|
|
|
|
|
level gnucash directory and bin is removed.
|
|
|
|
|
There are now directories for gschema, gtkbuilder and ui files directly
|
|
|
|
|
in gnucash. In principle all files of each type should go into these
|
|
|
|
|
global directories. The only exception is if such a file belongs
|
|
|
|
|
to an optional module. In that case the file remains located inside
|
|
|
|
|
that module's directory. Currently we have ui, glade and gschema file
|
|
|
|
|
exceptions in aqb and ofx importers.
|
|
|
|
|
The build system is changed from Autotools to CMake. All options except
|
|
|
|
|
python bindings and the python console demo are enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
|
Highly parallel builds with Ninja are possible and recommended,
|
|
|
|
|
except on Microsoft Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
The Windows build system is rewritten to use MSYS2, Mingw-w64, Powershell,
|
|
|
|
|
and jhbuild.
|
|
|
|
|
Add a "pot" target to the build system so that translators can easily
|
|
|
|
|
generate a new gnucash.pot from a git repository.
|
|
|
|
|
Detect presence or absence of libxml2 and makeinfo during configuration;
|
|
|
|
|
abort if the first is missing and don't build the (mostly
|
|
|
|
|
obsolete) texinfo documentation if the latter is. Document
|
|
|
|
|
both in README.dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
Replaced Timespec with time64 in the Scheme and Python bindings,
|
|
|
|
|
introducing many new C time64 functions to accomodate the
|
|
|
|
|
replacement. Timespec will eventually be removed from the C API
|
|
|
|
|
as well.
|
|
|
|
|
Some cruft removal in libgnucash/scm plus moving some code to its
|
|
|
|
|
only use location. "main.scm" is renamed to "utilities.scm".
|
|
|
|
|
The "printf" family of Scheme custom functions is replaced with
|
|
|
|
|
the built-in "format" facility.
|
|
|
|
|
Change a generally unnecessary warning about being unable to open
|
|
|
|
|
a module (usually because the file is still being created) to a
|
|
|
|
|
debug message. It appears mostly during highly parallel builds and
|
|
|
|
|
was distracting.
|
|
|
|
|
Appstream configuration is updated to the latest spec.
|
|
|
|
|
Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
|
|
|
|
|
* gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a
|
|
|
|
|
derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide
|
|
|
|
|
it from the user.
|
|
|
|
|
* gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily
|
|
|
|
|
useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from
|
|
|
|
|
transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with
|
|
|
|
|
different parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts"
|
|
|
|
|
name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. limited account types.
|
|
|
|
|
Drop intltool in favour or using modern gettext.
|
|
|
|
|
By default we require gettext 0.19.6 as this is needed to generate a
|
|
|
|
|
translated version of gnucash.desktop and gnucash.appdata.xml.
|
|
|
|
|
For platforms where this isn't available, setting ALLOW_OLD_GETTEXT=ON
|
|
|
|
|
will allow building but some strings will not be extracted to
|
|
|
|
|
gnucash.pot
|
|
|
|
|
Pass GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT through to distcheck.
|
|
|
|
|
So that they don't have to be exported in the environment if they're
|
|
|
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
|
The Python Bindings and Console are now for Python 3, and enahanced to
|
|
|
|
|
expose more GnuCash API.
|
|
|
|
|
Compilation of GLib Schemas during build and installation can be
|
|
|
|
|
disabled by setting -DCOMPILE_GSCHEMAS=OFF. This is intended
|
|
|
|
|
*only* for distribution packaging scripts that run
|
|
|
|
|
glib-compile-schemas themselves. Otherwise note that if you install
|
|
|
|
|
to a DESTDIR you'll need to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving
|
|
|
|
|
the contents of $DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
|
|
|
|
|
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. The register drawing code has been
|
|
|
|
|
upgraded to draw directly on a cairo surface, removing the dependency
|
|
|
|
|
on libgnomecanvas.
|
|
|
|
|
GnuCash 3.0 adds the following dependencies: Boost, ICU, Googletest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known Problems:
|
|
|
|
|
It is not possible to overwrite SQL Databases from within GnuCash, even
|
|
|
|
|
though GnuCash will ask if you want to. Bug 789594
|
|
|
|
|
There is no theming tool for Windows or Macs so users of those platforms
|
|
|
|
|
must apply theming by hand. Bug 791823
|
|
|
|
|
Accounting Period dates are subject to change with time zone and
|
|
|
|
|
daylight-time changes. Bug 791825
|
|
|
|
|
Opening a large SQL database on Windows is very slow on some machines,
|
|
|
|
|
merely slow on others. Bugs 792105, 794482.
|
|
|
|
|
Some HBCI information is not loaded correctly so the first transaction
|
|
|
|
|
download will re-retrieve transactions unless the beginning date is
|
|
|
|
|
set explicitly. Bug 792397.
|
|
|
|
|
The new CSV importer's Price of Shares column doesn't work. Bug 793306
|
|
|
|
|
Importing an OFX file on Windows fails with an empty matcher window.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 793461.
|
|
|
|
|
The Bayes account matcher can take a long time to convert the accounts
|
|
|
|
|
from name string to guids. This is a one-off, happening only the
|
|
|
|
|
first time one imports into an account on GnuCash 3.0. Bug 794334.
|
|
|
|
|
The new CSV importer's numeric parser can't parse numbers of the form
|
|
|
|
|
x + y/z. Bug 793556.
|
|
|
|
|
Python bindings may not work in some installations because the bindings
|
|
|
|
|
are unable to find the backend modules (libgncmod-backend-dbi and
|
|
|
|
|
libgncmod-backend-xml). Bug 794526
|
|
|
|
|
Get Quotes can be slow if one has a large number of saved prices.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 794644.
|
|
|
|
|
Some users see 1 January 1970 instead of the default date in the New
|
|
|
|
|
Invoice or New Bill dialog and on the unposted bill and invoice.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 794767.
|
|
|
|
|
The Mac localization code can set the wrong encoding for strftime causing
|
|
|
|
|
the register's date picker to label months "Null" in some locales.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 794807
|
|
|
|
|
On Mac, the File Open dialog will crash if one types anything. Bug 794809
|
|
|
|
|
An open register is not immediately updated when the Since Last Run
|
|
|
|
|
dialog creates transaction splits in the register's account. Bug 794854
|
|
|
|
|
GnuCash asks if one wants to save changes when quitting or opening a file
|
|
|
|
|
even if there's no book open. Bug 794870
|
|
|
|
|
The Online Actions menu includes some obsolete and non-functional
|
|
|
|
|
selections. Bug 794880.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.6.20 - 1 April 2018
|
|
|
|
|
This is the final release in the 2.6 stable series.
|
|
|
|
|
The following bugs are fixed:
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 765846 - Expense Over Time for subaccounts: An error occurred while
|
|
|
|
|
running the report: Fix crash if acc-depth too low.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7
|
|
|
|
|
Enable reading ISO-formatted dates, recognize
|
|
|
|
|
GNC_FEATURE_SQLITE3_ISO_DATES.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 792008 - gnucash 2.6.19 fails to build
|
|
|
|
|
Replace g_assert_true with g_assert for now
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 793278 - wrong data in charts with accumulated values (like
|
|
|
|
|
"net-linechart", "net-barchart" and "liabilities barchart")
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 794030 - relative date functions compute wrong day of month
|
|
|
|
|
Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug
|
|
|
|
|
This change will fix 'num-of-weeks-since-1/jan/1970' which
|
|
|
|
|
formerly used quotient to remove the fractional part of the
|
|
|
|
|
division. For negative values of num-of-weeks, the number is
|
|
|
|
|
truncated in the wrong direction (i.e. towards 0). This
|
|
|
|
|
change uses floor instead to ensure the num-of-weeks found
|
|
|
|
|
is the nearest integer LESS than the fractional number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other repairs or enhancements not marked as bugs:
|
|
|
|
|
Online HBCI actions: Remove outdated non-SEPA menu items.
|
|
|
|
|
Add XML namespaces for all Account Hierarchy Templates.
|
|
|
|
|
General cleanup of Account Hierarchy Templates.
|
|
|
|
|
Fix auto-selection of splits in reconcile
|
|
|
|
|
Really use all splits of any given day. Up to now usually the splits
|
|
|
|
|
of the given date were not or not all included, as the time comparison
|
|
|
|
|
didn't correctly ignore any given time-of-day of the splits. Instead,
|
|
|
|
|
all possible time-of-days should be included.
|
|
|
|
|
Properly detect git in case of linked worktree
|
|
|
|
|
Account Hierarchy for India: Set LANGUAGE=hi and LANG=en_IN to access it.
|
|
|
|
|
Improve Import menu entries Customer & vendors...
|
|
|
|
|
use same menu label as others, replace template by tooltip, add ellipsis
|
|
|
|
|
to entry, add comments to distinguish "Import" as verb and substantive.
|
|
|
|
|
Provide preference panel to set the Alpha Vantage API key needed for
|
|
|
|
|
Finance::Quote.
|
|
|
|
|
Correct the appstream definition to match the current spec.
|
|
|
|
|
Fix collectors and min-date handling in reports.
