What's New
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.6, the seventh release in the stable 5.x series.
Between 5.5 and 5.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 798946 - start/end of current/last quarter have off-by-one error
- Bug 799093 - Cannot reconcile since v5.4
- Bug 799179 - SLR won't allow change from "Reminder" to any other state
- Bug 799210 - Bad encoding of accented chars in account names in "Import CSV" wizard
- Bug 799213 - SIGSEGV caused by revising an auto completed transaction
- Bug 799222 - Crash when changing the parent of an account that has had two or more levels of sub-accounts auto-created using the register in the current session.
- Bug 799224 - Import of QIF gets Bug detected during duplicates (partial fix: If the new-splits object is null, it means the new account tree from the current import has no splits. Therefore the (apply min|max dates) will fail. Omitting the date query is a simple fix to prevent crashing. This is a partial fix because the crash is likely a symptom of another bug which causes the new account-tree to be empty.
- Bug 799225 - QIF Importer Crashes Silently after "Start Import" Button: Don't allow a QIF investment transaction without an action (buy/sell/etc)
- Bug 799246 - import matcher will rename incorrect splits
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend.
- [gnc-dense-cal.c] sx popup: show date in preference (cf.locale) format because the date format preference is user-facing and customisable. it's jarring if the preference is dd/mm/yyyy and the display shows mm/dd/yyyy in accordance to the locale.
- Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction.
- Date parsing efficiency improvements.
- Update minumum Python version to 3.8, made necessary by updating the C API in the Python bindings.
- Replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig. distutils is not present in Python 3.12.2.
- Query user via dialog for date when creating a reverse transaction.
- More C++ conversions
- Avoid deprecation warning for -py3 in swig >= 4.1
- [gnc-commodities.cpp] gnc_new_iso_codes is a std::unordered_map
- Replace some naked for loops with C++ algorithms
- Convert gnc-commodity to C++ and make GncQuoteSources a C++ class.
- [test-commodities.cpp] add some tests for gnc_quote_sources
- Remove the SLR status sort as it is too confusing
- Allow sorting of the transaction column in the Since Last Run dialog by schedule name or occurrence date. To sort by schedule name, a schedule name is first selected and then the column header is pressed to change order. To sort by occurrence date, a date is selected and then the column header is pressed to change order based on the date of the first occurrence. A tool tip has been added to indicate the sort order being used.
- [gtest-gnc-numeric] add operator comparisons with example int64 numbers
- [assistant-stock-transaction] store & retrieve associated account as metadata
- Update Form/Schedule line references for 2023 for the US Income Tax Report
- Update another gnucash-help to gnucash-manual
- [invoice.scm] centralize layout components into layout-key-list instead of maintaining 2 assoc lists.
- [invoice.scm] normalize header section generators, changing the functions to require 1 options argument only
- Update invoice.scm: Add spacing for long Invoice ID's (Displayed as "Reference" on the Invoice)
