2.2.0 - 14 July 2007
o Welcome to the GnuCash 2.2.0 Release.
o With this new release series, GnuCash is available on Microsoft
Windows for the first time, and it also runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD,
Solaris and Mac OSX.
o This release has only a few user-visible new features, except for
the completed port to the Microsoft Windows operating system. In
summary, the following features are new, compared to the older 2.0.x
series:
o Port to Microsoft Windows completed. Note that Windows 2000, XP, or
Vista is required; GnuCash does not run on Windows 98 or 95.
o Data file notice: In version 2.1.2 the format for scheduled
transactions in the data file was changed. Files using the old format
will be read without problems by this new version, but the new
version of GnuCash only writes the new format. The new file format
cannot be loaded by older versions of GnuCash. (If you try, the file
will fail to be loaded with an error message.) As a result, if you
begin using the new Gnucash, and you have data files with scheduled
transactions, then these files will not be readable by older
versions. If you have to make a new data file readable by older
versions of GnuCash, this can be achived by deleting all records of
scheduled transactions in the scheduled transaction editor.
o SWIG is now used instead of g-wrap for providing language bindings.
o The Scheduled Transaction list view is now improved and summarized
more compactly. The Since-Last-Run dialog has been simplified.
o Check printing has been improved, with new formats and simpler
format descriptions.
o Automatic saving of the data file was added.
o Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.5 include:
o Updated translations.
o Improved handling of Online Banking wizard on Windows.
2.1.5 - 02 July 2007

the discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you will find at
http://www.gnucash.org. We especially need people to help with
updating the documentation as all texts refer currently to the 1.8.x
series. Please see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to
get involved.
o PS I'm not going to list the many features changed or updated in
this release because obviously there is so much that has changed.
1.8.12 - 19 Oct 2005
o Online Banking/HBCI improvements: Debit notes are fixed
again; Bank-internal money transfers are now supported, if
the HBCI bank offers them; Setup wizard can now works with
HBCI, OFX-Connect, and other AqBanking backends; Fix
character encoding issues in utf-8 locales; Fix date interval
in the import transaction matcher for OFX and HBCI import;
Fix PIN entry bug.
o New currencies added: Romanian Leu, Bulgarian Lev, Malagasy Ariary
o Fix problem with long date formats in some locales (bug#170444)
o Add configure macros for mips, mipsel, arm, and m68k; Fix
compilation on OpenBSD 64bit architectures
o Updated translations: German, Italian, Kinyarwanda
1.8.11 - 06 Feb 2005
o Add extra sanity checks and verbose error message if the setup
wizard of aqhbci cannot be found.
o Fix potentially missing initialization of gwenhywfar library, as
reported by Peter O'Gorman on Max OS X.
o Properly accumulate splits (bug #165053). Also fixes a (related)
memory leak
o Add explicit dependency on business-utils.
o Adapt to latest changes in aqbanking; external wizard name is no
longer hard-coded here but is asked from aqbanking.
o Enable debit notes again in HBCI.
o Update German translation.
o Thomas Bushnell's patch to protect non-backup pruning (#164875)
o Add the transaction guid to some error warning messages.
o Fix HBCI date range for statement download.
o Fix the last-day-of-month computation for leap years.
1.8.10 - 11 Dec 2004
o Don't use C++/C99 declarations. Declare variables at the top of
the function.
o Updated British English, Czech, Italian, Russian, German,
Brazilian Portugese, Dutch, French, Spanish, translations.
o Fabien COELHO's zero-balance patch to remove accounts of zero
balance from the report.
o Fix a broken recursion problem. Don't call show-acct? from
use-acct? so we don't recurse ad flictum. This recursive call isn't
necessary, just have use-acct? recurse unto itself.
o look in ${srcdir} for build-config.scm.in
o Work around problems with libltdl3.
o don't automatically try to (require 'format), so gnucash will build
on an slib-3 system.
o Added quote sources for Indian Mutual Funds.
o Skip the case when a token is the empty string. This caused many
warnings about a NULL kvp_frame lookup.
o Luigi Ballabio's automake patch to gnucash.m4
o guile-1.6 complains about string->symbol when passed a symbol.
o applied Vasil's patch to improve the transaction report for HTML
export purposes.
o Backport of CVS-head changes to improve register open performance
when working with large account trees (>500 accounts). The new code
caches the quickfill tree so that it is shared by all register
windows.
o create gnc:current-saved-reports, as the file to store saved
reports from cstim. Autoload the saved-reports file at startup
(after config.user/config.auto is loaded).
o Added gnc:report-generate-saved-forms that will generate the scheme
code necessary to create a new report from the saved options of an
old report.
o Added example Menu item "File -> Save all reports" that will call
the new report saving function for all reports. This would need more
work so that not all reports are saved but only the currently
selected one -- any volunteer may feel free to add that.
o Fix saving of report: It now appends to
~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 Statusbar tip is now more verbose.
o Add toolbar element for saving the current report.
o Add function for saving one particular report to the
~/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 file. Add extra menu only for customized
reports.
o Remove the previous function for saving all reports since it is no
longer necessary.
o Apply David Reiser's patch for Quicken(tm) cheques with stub.
o Apply David Grant's patch to add TD Efunds.
o make the desktop file HIG compliant.
o change the gtkhtml order to search for >= 1.1 before < 1.1, in
order to try to fix #84707 on systems with multiple versions of
gtkhtml.
o Perry Smith's Null Account Patch. Make sure the security is a real
string before appending an account separator, so we don't try to
create a "null" account.
o Add option to include zero-amount splits in computations.
o fix xaccAccountGetBalanceAsOfDate() to properly compute the balance
at the end of the split list.
o Major change for HBCI, back-ported from HEAD. The HBCI online
banking is no longer based on the openhbci library but instead on the
aqbanking library http://sf.net/projects/aqbanking which is Martin
Preuss' successor of openhbci. This means that now aqbanking-0.9.5 is
required instead of any openhbci package.
o Fixes for x86_64
o Update for new LibOfx, this among other things, gives gnucash
Microsoft OFC support.
o Duplicate match tweaks in import code
o Andreas Rottmann's patch to support g-wrap 1.9.
o provide a default account name so we don't crash when someone
imports a broken QIF that has a !Account without an account name.
o Daniel Lindenaar's patch to implement a check-box in the Invoice
Post Dialog (with a default in the File Preferences) to choose to
accumulate splits when posting an invoice, or post a 1:1 mapping.
o Phil Longstaff's patch to prevent duplicate pricedb entries.
o Heath Martin's x86_64 patch
o Mark search criteria for translation -- somehow this had been
missed all the time.
o Change currency mnemonic for "New Israeli Shekel" from "ILS" to
"NIS".
o Identified and fixed several places with untranslated strings.
o Add configure check for libofx version 0.7.0 and respective error
message. Update docs.
o Improve importer performance by matching imported transactions only
against transactions in the proper time interval.
o send an event when a payment is processed so the invoice gets
updated as "paid" in the search window.
o Make sure we set the proper search-type when we create the query,
otherwise the search will fail later.
1.8.9 - 11 Apr 2004
o Updated Polish translation by GNOME PL Team, updated French, Czech,
Spanish, Russian, Dutch, German and Italian translations.
o dump-finance-quote - Be more explicit when a lookup fails.
o log-replay - Increase read buffer size.
o Make sure to verify that the items in the reconcile hash are still
around after a refresh.
o When the commodity is changed, then set the currency to the
currency of the last price entered for this commodity.
o Add Hungarian account templates by Sulyok Peter
o Patch by Geoff Kassel to work on OpenBSD (allow user to set
diffcmd).
o Don't test double KVPs, on the theory that they will soon be
deprecated.
o When computing the aging report, ignore splits that belong to
closed lots. This way we wont get the wrong values when the invoice
falls outside the 360-day window but its payment falls inside the
window.
o Add gnc_getline() function to read an unlimited line-length from a
file (so you're not limited to a buffer size with fgets() and the
like). It is similar to the getline(3) on Linux except the API is
different and it will always set the return string.
