Version history:

2.6.0 - 29 Dec 2013
The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.0,
the latest stable release of the GnuCash Free Accounting
Software. GnuCash Users can experience the following new features:
* Preferences have been migrated from GConf to GSettings. This
is a simpler and more robust backend which writes to the OS's
native prefs -- defaults on OS X and the Registry on
MSWindows -- and allows us to remove several troublesome
dependencies including GConf, ORBit, and DBus. The change
includes a migration script that will run at Gnucash startup.
* New date handling which allows GnuCash to use dates after March 2038.
* Guile-2 compatibility: GnuCash now requires either Guile-1.8
or Guile-2.0
* Documents outside of GnuCash, images of receipts for example,
can now be linked to transactions, with the facility of
opening them in the default application for the document
type.
* Cutsom Reports can now be saved without renaming the report,
and modifications can overwrite an existing report.
* The import assistant now finishes much more quickly after
assigning contra-accounts.
* GnuCash now requires Gtk+-2.24.0 and GLib-2.26.0. Most of the
dependencies on obsolete libraries have been removed; only
libgnomecanvas remains. Unfortunately the effort to rewrite
the register code to use GtkTreeModel wasn't completed in
time, so GnuCash is not on the cusp of converting to Gtk3.
* The Business Module has been substantially revamped,
including support for Credit Notes and import of customers
and vendors from a CSV file.
* The Num field in the register display is now optionally
per-split, so for example a check number can be entered for
the checking account split and an invoice number for the
expense account split.
* GnuCash can now open locked books read-only so that more than
one user can view a file. GnuCash still does not support
multiple simultaneous writers.
* By agreement of all authors, GnuCash is now licensed under
the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later rather than
simply Version 2. This allows derivative works to be licensed
under the GPL Version 3 if the author of such a work so
desires.
* Fixed more than 500 bugs.
For those keeping score, the following changes have occurred
since 2.5.10:
Bug Fixes:
Bug 157247 - Asset account's "total" value should use most
recent transaction prices
Bug 710823 - libofx can supply broken UTF-8 for account id
Bug 710824 - GnuCash should sanitise UTF-8 before serialising files
to avoid writing broken unparseable XML.
Bug 720555 - General Ledger - Can't Enter Transaction Amounts
Bug 720556 - The Tip of the Day preference isn't getting saved
Bug 720646 - New Book Tabs on Windows
Other Changes:
* Don't create a second account hierarchy page when cancelling
the Hierarchy Assistant or when using Actions->New Account
Hierarchy on an already open book.
* Reset Warnings dialog: show translated warnings
* The locale-names for Help and the Tutorial and Concepts Guide
have been renamed to language-only so that, for example,
someone using the Swiss-German locale will be shown help in
German instead of English.
Translations Updated: British, Dutch, French, Italian, Lithuanian.
2.5.10 - 15 December 2013
This is the eleventh and final release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
It is the second beta release. Barring any surprises, we will release
a STABLE 2.6.0 on 29 December.
Changes since the last release have been entirely bug fixes
and translation updates, though not all bug fixes had
associated bug reports. Note that WebKit 1.2 is now tested
for in configure; it had been 1.0, but GnuCash wouldn't
actually compile with versions earlier than 1.1.5.
Bug Fixes:
Bug 336843 - Attach images/files/urls to transactions:
Disable the "show attachment" menu item if the transaction
has no attached file.
Bug 619478 - Build warning in html/gnc-html-webkit.c
Bug 627575 - Stylesheet names with non-alphanumeric characters
and saved-reports
Bug 630578 - current date instead of posting date in exchange rate,
when posting a bill
Bug 632588 - Scrub doesn't fix missing currency
Bug 639371 - Welcome Sample Report reports wrong version and
has a broken report
Bug 653594 - wrong amount printed on checks
Bug 705714 - QIF Import - File selection pop-up is not on top
during qif import
Bug 708526 - GnuCash Crashes when opening About page:
Downgrade the error to a critical warning.
Bug 711317 - Indian Rupee Symbol appears as "?" marks
Bug 715123 - Post invoice problem, cannot unpost
Bug 719481 - GnuCash report crashes with Guile2
Bug 719521 - Missing radio button in "Edit security" dialog
Bug 719726 - Click on File -> Open seg-faults
Bug 720235 - Python bindings should load environment file just
like gnucash does
Fix Python tests to no longer require gsettings schemas installed.
Fix the CuteCash (Qt GUI based) build
Multi-currency "Post invoice" improvements
Protect gnc_mktime against bad dates.
Protect against null account pointers in a couple of place to
avoid asserts.
Qif Import Assistant: Don't disable the whole dialog, just the
Forward button
QifImport: Fix crash from attempting to import an empty file.
Add the ability to search for transactions that are, or are not,
book closing entries.
Move customer, bill, and invoice importers form the business menu
to the file menu.
Rename some directories in src/import-export so that the
gschema.xml.in.in files within them don't have pathnames that
are too long for tar when the GnuCash version exceeds 5 digits
(e.g., 2.5.10).
Translation Updates: Italian, German, French
New Translations: Arabic!
2.5.9 - 1 December 2013
This is the tenth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
It is the first beta release.
Barring any surprises, there will be one more beta release in
two weeks, followed by the release of 2.6.0 on 29 December.
Changes since the last release have principally been code
cleanup, including KVP storage in the SQL Backend, Python
testing in out-of-source builds, test failures when using
Guile-2, ensure that saved state (especially KVP) is deleted
along with the primary object, use the progress bar when
loading the PriceDB.
Translator note: We found it advisable to correct some typos
and to add two translatable strings "Bill Information" and
"Voucher Information".
Bug Fixes:
644044 - Lots: SQL backend loses link to Gain/Loss Txn
704506 - Connection loss to mysql after resume from hibernation
707311 - Tax Invoice fails to open when using guile 2
710871 - Python site-packages not found when not installed to
default location using --prefix
710905 - Column withs, visibility, order and sort order not saved
and restored
711289 - time zone handling is inconsistent between 2.4 and 2.5
712299 - Tax Invoice with guile 2 doesn't display currency symbols
715041 - Crash opening a file when a file is already open.
715184 - Bill or Invoice; a new Bill gives a new Invoice
719471 - Unused commodities saved to XML file
Translations updated: German, Italian
2.5.8 - 17 November 2013
This is the ninth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series. This
release is the last alpha release.
String and feature freeze are now in effect: Only bug fixes
which have no effect on UI, API, or translatable strings
should be committed to trunk until after the release of
GnuCash 2.6, currently scheduled for 29 December 2013.
Translators: Please use the tarballs from this release to
prepare your translations.
New contributor Patrick has provided a beginning
implementation of linking attachments to transactions. This
is accessed through the Transaction menu and the transaction
context menu. In this initial version, linked files are
displayed in the default viewer for the file type. E.g., html
files will open in a browser and jpegs will open in the

2.5.7 - 3 November 2013
This is the eighth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
Register2 is now a configure option. Default builds,
including the Windows and Mac All-in-one packages, will use
only the old register. We've decided that it isn't ready for
general use and the principal author doesn't have time to
make it ready in time for a 2.6 release.
Frédéric Perrin has contributed a change to display currency
symbols whenever they are known and unambiguous.
Geert Janssens has cleaned up most of the issues from the
initial GSettings preference changes. There's a new
configure option, --with-xdg-data-dirs to overide the
environment and defaults if necessary.
Building Gnucash now requires Automake version 1.11 or later.
Configure will abort if --enable-ofx is set but no libofx
configuration files are found. Budget periods may no longer
set to values greater than the budget's num_periods, and the
budget options descriptions will wrap. Contributed by Robert
Ratliff.

2.5.6 - 7 October 2013
This is the seventh release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
Geert Janssens has rewritten the preferences system to use
GSettings from GIO (GLib) instead of GConf. This is a simpler
and more robust backend which writes to the OS's native prefs
-- defaults on OS X and the Registry on MSWindows -- and
allows us to remove several troublesome dependencies
including GConf, ORBit, and DBus. The change includes a
migration script that will run at Gnucash startup.
WARNING: the saved settings in gconf are not (yet) migrated
to gsettings ! running gnucash as of this commit will start
you with default values for all preferences ! You can of
course change your preferences, your changes will be saved
properly in gsettings and restored when you restart
gnucash. But what has been set in GConf before will basically
be ignored.
Bug Fixes:

transaction Account Report from "Accout Transaction Report" to
"Account Report - Single Transaction" Author: Carsten Rinke

charts). Add new procedure gnc:substring-replace-from-to
Similar to gnc:substring-replace, but offers the possibility to
replace substrings in a range of occurances. Add calls to

and some date and cursor changes.

2.5.3 - 7 July 2013
This is the fourth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
New Features:
Save and Save As for custom report templates (Geert Jansens)
Customized report settings can now be saved without renaming
the report, and updates saved directly replacing the previously
saved report or "saved as" to a new name.
It's now possible to post multiple invoices from the find
dialog. GnuCash was crashing if you searched for all unposted
invoices, selected two or more of them, and posted them.
This was because the list of invoices to be posted changed
while it was being processed. As part of fixing this the
prompt for post date, due date, etc. will only be given once,
not once per invoice.
Register2 work: Better commodity/currency handling, sanity checks
when converting TreePaths, Posted Dates now work like the old Register,
PostedDate is now recorded only as a date, with no time.
Peter Broadberry contributed faster versions of several reports.
Bug Fixes:

2.5.0 - 30 Mar 2013
The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.5.0,
the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.6.0.
This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.
Robert Fewell has contributed a rewrite of the ledger
(Gnucash's primary interface window) to use the GtkTreeModel
(select "register 2" from the menu) as well as a new CSV
import/export facility for account trees.
Gnucash now requires Gtk+-2.24 and GLib-2.26. We've removed
most of the dependencies on libraries obsoleted by project
Ridley and will be in position to move to Gtk+-3.x once the
GtkTreeModel register window work is complete. This means
that Gnucash 2.5 requires Debian 6, RHEL 6, or one of the
more aggressive distributions like Ubuntu.
Gnucash now works with Guile-2.0.
The business module has been revamped and we introduce a new
feature, Credit Notes. It is now possible to import customers
and vendors from a CSV file as well.
The "Num" field is now optionally per-split rather than
per-transaction.
When opening a locked "book" one now has the option of
opening it read-only. Note that Gnucash is still a
single-user program and that the database backends are still
used only as a data store.
Gnucash is no longer subject to the "2038" bug, so that
30-year mortgages can now be entered correctly.
By agreement of all authors we have relicensed Gnucash to the
Gnu Public License Version 2 or later from just Version 2.

2.4.0 - 20 Dec 2010
The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.0,
the latest stable release of the GnuCash Free Accounting
Software. With this new release series, GnuCash can use an SQL
database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL. It runs on
GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX.
Major changes in the 2.4.0 release include
* In addition to the XML backend, Gnucash can now use a
SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL database to store the data. This
is a new implementation using libdbi. It supports all
features including the business features. In order to build
with this, add --enable-dbi to the configure command. In
addition to the libdbi-dev package for your distribution, you
will also need the appropriate DBD (libdbi driver) package
for sqlite3, mysql or postgresql.
* As a replacement for the current GtkHTML HTML engine used to
display reports and graphs, Gnucash can use WebKit. WebKit is
the engine used by Google Chrome on Windows and Safari on
Apple. In order to build with this, add
--with-html-engine=webkit to the configure command. You will
need an appropriate webkit-dev package. On win32, you will
need to download the webkit-1.1.90-win32.zip file from the
source repository and put it into the downloads directory of
your gnucash build area.
* Updated AqBanking on Win32.</li>
2.3.0 - 14 May 2009
o Welcome to GnuCash 2.3.0 the first of several unstable releases of
the GnuCash Open Source Accounting Software which will eventually lead
to the stable version 2.4.0. This release is the very first to use an
SQLite3 database as the default data store. It 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 2.3.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. Please see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development
on how to get involved.
o Major new features:
* All features, including business features, are supported by a new
SQL datastore, which can use SQLite3 (default), MySQL or PostgreSQL.
The legacy XML data format is still supported
* Replacement of the aging GtkHTML engine used for reports/charts
with the WebKit engine used by Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome
web browsers.
o PS I'm not going to list the many minor features changed or updated in
this release because obviously there is so much that has changed.
