GnuCash

What's new in this version:

Fixes and improvements:
- Display Created Transactions setting
Add a preference for the 'Review Created Transactions' setting in the 'Since Last Run' dialog so that the default can be specified.
- Nearest in time security price selection is incorrect in reports
Add new price source - 'nearest before report date' will ignore prices *after* report date.
- Deleting a digit from an existing number greater than four digits in length generates an error message.
Because the grouping is off. Checking grouping on input is pointless so just ignore the grouping separator when parsing number input.
- Current Selection Highlight Lost After Transaction Edit in Scheduled Transaction Window
- Price change from editing a transaction not reflected in pricedb.
- Intro text of "Online Banking Setup" is outdated
- Extremely slow save
- Only update the status bar when the percentage changes by at least 1% because running the mainloop is expensive on macOS and Microsoft Windows. This speeds up all operations that run the progress bar with overly-fine resolution.
- Newline (char(10)) is inserted into the end of the string if copy & paste text from excel into the description field of transaction
- Feature request: preference setting to open new tabs adjacent to currently active tab

tests preference; if enabled then new tab inserted after current. if disabled then new tab is at the end.
- Since last run asks for security price when no shares traded
- Changing the symbol/abbreviation of a security after the trading account was created breaks GnuCash.(Reopened)
- Gnucash crash when any custom action is entered
- Reconciliation uses different number than entered

If a number was pasted into the balance end value with a currency symbol the number would silently fail on evaluate and cause the wrong value to be used. With previous changes to the GNCAmountEdit widget a warning symbol will indicate a validation error and prevents going forward.
- "Accounts" page Present (USD) column uses future prices
- Value entry box not tied to associated transaction in Since Last Run assistant
- glib 2.68.0 breaks gnucash
- Keyboard shortcut bug in 'manage document link'
- Type Ahead Initialization Problem
- Unbound variable: gnc-budget-lookup when running saved report Budget Report via gnucash-cli
- Price of new stock transactions not saved in price database
- Incorrect result editting account in register when overtyping a part selection.
- The Invoice Editor -> Printable Invoice toolbar button crashes on Windows
- not building with Boost 1.76
- Pasting invalid value in date column crashes GnuCash
- Register input ignores theme on KDE rendering black text on black background
- g_assert fault while reversing transaction
- Creation of Imbalance Accounts
- right-click the down-arrow in the date register changes focus to first split
- Improve transaction sorting on effective num field so that alpha charachters and numbers larger than 1 billion will be ordered. Ordering is now numeric for leading numbers (so that 9 sorts before 10) and lexical beginning with the first non-numeric character. Note that if one of the values begins with an alpha character ordering will be entirely lexical. Lexical sorting is localized; as in the rest of GnuCash only standard ASCII numbers (codepoints U+0030 - U+0039) are treated as numbers.
- Add import preferences for the difference in time considered when matching an existing transaction to an imported one. A difference less than the matching-date-threshold raises the score of the match; a difference greater than match-date-not-threshold lowers the score.
- Add experimental report "IFRS weighted-average cost basis report". This is a work-in-progress to help calculate the cost basis of securities priced in a foreign currency.
- [income-gst-statement] amend headers post Brexit. UK left EU, therefore VAT headers have now changed.
- Plug a bunch of memory leaks.
- Change how the print_info is obtained for the register: Currently the register sets up some 'print_info' values using the default account but if the register is a stock register they should be obtained from a parent account with a currency.
- Change monetary value for gnc_default_share_print_info: Share values are not currencies so set the monetary value to 0 for the GNCPrintAmountInfo
- Parse the register monetary cells for a currency symbol: Add the ability to strip the currency symbol from a registry monetary cell if it is pasted with one so it can be validated.
- SKR-49 Account Template: Add codes 4500-4504, drop a duplicate, correct code 0674.
- [gnc-plugin-page-register] Disable reverse on blank split
- Make balancing transactions with trading accounts easier by removing and recalculating all trading splits. This ensures that there will be only one trading split pair per exchange and relieves the user of having to adjust the trading splits to match the accounting splits.
- Don't bother scrubbing for orphans if there's no transaction currency. If it found one it would try to create an orphan account with no currency which will crash later.
- [chartjs] upgrade chartjs to 2.9.4. Fixes CVE-2020-7746
- [report-core] disallow define-report with incomplete export info. If exporting is allowed, 'export-types and 'export-thunk must both be defined.
- [test-engine-extras] augment book data generators
- ignore .vscode folder
- Reorder and relabel price source list for better coherence
- Python Bindings: Provide a deprecated GncPriceDB.lookup_latest_before_t64 to avoid breaking user scripts.
- Update gnucash_core.py with gnc-pricedb function name change
- Change some functions to use const gnc_commodity for gnc_pricedb
- Reformat schedule transaction source files for white space
- Add depreciation warnings for the removal of individual option tool tips
- Remove individual tool tips from radio button options
- Removes the function gnc_option_permissible_value_description
- ESC key was not working on load of Scheduled Transaction Editor
- [budget.scm] show correct tooltip for report option
- [html-acct-table] Remove unused 'pre-adjusting balances option
- Bugfix: export-code for category-barchart reports would fail.
- This stems from trying to handle file-name when calling export code. Export code no longer require file-name, The export-code returns a string in the html-document object instead. Remove all file-name handling in reports. No backward compatibility issues because most users would not copy a GnuCash >=4.6 report code onto a <4.5 installation.
- [gnucash-cli] improve discoverability of export-type. Formerly, selecting --export-type EXT would dump the cryptic "Report REPORTNAME has no export code". Modify to hint the user on acceptable reports with export-code.

New API:
[report-utilities] Functions to dump splits in whole book:
- gnc:dump-book - splits grouped by account
- gnc:dump-all-transactions - splits grouped by transaction
- gnc:dump-split - dumps single split
- Rename a couple of gnc-pricedb functions that have not been used:
- gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_t64
- gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_any_currency_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_any_currency_t64

Add retrieval functions for price before the date given:
- gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_nearest_before_price_t64 that retrieves the balance using the last price dated before a specified date like today for the preset value
- gnc_pricedb_get_nearest_before_price does the retrieval

Deprecations:
