New API: + The options system has been rewritten in C++ with Scheme wrappers for report options. While this is invisible to most users, those who have written custom reports should look for deprecation warnings when the custom reports are reconciled. The main difference is that option creation and registration is now done in a single function call. Nearly all standard code defined a local convenience function that wrapped the two steps, for example +
+ (let* ((options (gnc:new-options)) + (add-option + (lambda (new-option) + (gnc:register-option options new-option))))) ++ called as +
+ (add-option + (gnc:make-string-optionpagename title key docstring default-value)) ++ The convenience function is no longer needed, call +
+ (let* ((options (gnc-new-optiondb))) + ... + (gnc-register-string-option options pagename title key docstring default-value) ++ intead. Note that gnc:new-options is now gnc-new-options. There are several similar changes. All of these are wrapped in bindings/guile/options.scm with the old names, but are marked to raise deprecation warnings to encourage you to change. The wrappers will be removed in GnuCash 6.0. + +
Deprecations: See the deprecation warnings in options.scm as noted above. + +
+ +New and Updated Translations: Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil)
+ +Help translate GnuCash on Weblate.
+Translators note that there is a new project Program-beta on weblate for this unstable branch. Having twice the strings causes us to exceed the free account limit, but Weblate has so far just warned us about it. If we need to change the branch we'll announce it on gnucash-devel.
