| 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. (Geert Janssens and Robert Fewell) | ||
|
|
||
| There's a new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new | ||
| features including the ability to re-import CSV files exported | ||
| from GnuCash. (Geert Janssens) | ||
|
|
||
| Data file directories are now 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. (Geert | ||
| Janssens) | ||
|
|
||
| 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. THIS WILL MAKE YOUR FILE UNREADABLE BY | ||
| PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF GNUCASH. There's a new editor 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| outdated or incorrect match data from the import maps, a new | ||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. (All from Robert Fewell!) | ||
|
|
||
| Numerics are rewritten 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. (John Ralls) | ||
|

||
| New Income GST Report and some improvements to the Transaction | ||
| report. (Christopher Lam) | ||
|
|
||
| Chart Reports appearance is improved (Carsten Rinke) | ||
|
|
||
| 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. (John Ralls | ||
| and Aaron Laws) | ||
|
|
||
| KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and | ||
| boost::UUID respectively (Aaron Laws). | ||
|
|
||
| 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. (John Ralls) | ||
|
|
||
| Distribution tarballs can now be built with CMake as well as | ||
| Autotools. (Rob Gowin) | ||
|
|
||
| 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. | ||
|
|
||
| Of interest mostly to developers, we've reorganized the code | ||
| into a core library directory, libgnucash, and | ||
| applications-specific directory, gnucash. | ||
|
|
||
| A new Russian translation of the Guide has been started by | ||
| Dmitriy Mandel. Downloads in the usual formats are available at | ||
| https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/; the HTML is at | ||
| https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/gnucash-guide/. | ||
|
|
||
| There will be no unstable documentation release at this | ||
| time. There have been very few relatively minor changes to the | ||
| master documentation branch; those documents may be viewed in | ||
| the nightly builds at https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml. | ||
|
|
||
| The following bugs are fixed only in unstable/master: | ||
| Bug 87652 - KVP modification does not change 'dirty' flag. | ||
| Bug 120250 - KVP XML loader ignores '0' timestamps? | ||
| Bug 122895 - general ledger should be named journal | ||
| Bug 343227 - Summary bar alignment patch. | ||
| Bug 388500 - Add option to remove deleted files from the history list. | ||
| Allows removing files from the MRU list if they no longer exist. | ||
| Bug 541541 - RFE: auto-hide unused accounts | ||
| Bug 608098 - Option is hard to find: Change Transaction Report to show account names in multirow txn | ||
| On the Transaction report the General->Style option | ||
| has been replaced with a similar Display->Detail Level | ||
| option. This was done in order to make the display of | ||
| some columns dependent on the value of this option. | ||
|
|
||
| When upgrading from 2.6.x or earlier to 2.8.x and you | ||
| had saved or open reports that had set General->Style | ||
| to 'Multi-line' you will have to update these reports | ||
| to set 'Multi-line' on the Display->Detail Level | ||
| option instead and optionally resave your report. | ||
| Bug 639401 - Invoices Due Reminder | ||
| Bug 645786 - Fancy invoice report still doesn't use fancy date format preference | ||
| Bug 647230 - Display the blank split after the "now" line instead of at the end | ||
| Bug 679791 - Import Template for importing CSV files - part2 | ||
| Bug 684719 - Man pages for gnc-fq-* perl scripts | ||
| Bug 689489 - Be able to show file location | ||
| The file location is now visible in the status bar | ||
| while hovering over the recent file list of the File | ||
| menu. The currently open file is the top-most file in | ||
| this list so its location can be seen by hovering over | ||
| it with the mouse. | ||
| Bug 695610 - GnuCash Tax Invoice for Australia | ||
| Bug 706021 - Test match text for valid account path | ||
| Bug 726535 - Budget BarChart Report - add option to change to a line chart | ||
| Bug 728136 - Rate in Job | ||
| Bug 729001 - Fix a minor typo affecting the profile option in the previous commit | ||
| Bug 731589 - Add account level selection on accounts option tab | ||
| Bug 733186 - [PATCH] Extend account tree view search function | ||
| Bug 734168 - Tax invoice can be a bill too. | ||
| Bug 737171 - After account creation wizard and saving, empty account window is shown | ||
| Bug 738462 - Fixes Report Scheme error. | ||

| Bug 756373 - Typos in Transaction Rpt options mouse-over text | ||
| Bug 757532 - [PATCH] Make start and end rows editable by keyboard | ||
| Bug 759674 - GNUCash crashes when importing invoices or bills with delimited import | ||
| Bug 760107 - Change default date completion to sliding window | ||
| The default date completion when entering partial | ||
| dates has been changed from "always complete in | ||
| current calendar year" to "complete to a sliding | ||
| window starting 11 months before current month". For | ||
| example if you enter "1/23" (January 23rd) while today | ||
| is December 10th 2015, the date will be expanded to | ||
| January 23rd 2016 rather than 2015. If you prefer to | ||
| keep the old behaviour, you can restore to it via | ||
| Edit->Preferences->Date/Time->Date Completion. In | ||
| addition if you were already using the sliding window | ||
| before, but didn't change the previous 6 months before | ||
| default, you will now also get the new default 11 | ||
| months before. Again if you prefer the old behaviour | ||
| it can be restored via the same Preference. | ||
