The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.9, the tenth release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.8 and 3.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

  • [report-utilities] fix gnc:account-accumulate-at-dates sorting & operator

    This commit performs 2 important fixes:

    1. The account splitlist walking assumes that the split->date always increases. This is now enforced by sorting the splitlist, *only* if a custom split->date is offered. By default the splits are sorted by posted_date, and if a custom split->date is used, will be stable-sorted to ensure the algorithm works.
    2. The handling of splits *ON* date boundaries is fixed. Previously if a split->date was equal to a date boundary, it would be considered part of the "after" date section. It is more intuitive that a date boundary includes all splits on and before the date.

  • When selecting a file for OFX import, restrict the files listed to .OFX (or .QFX)
  • Fix crash when changing account-separator.
  • Change the default focus to search entry for 'Find Account'
    • Fix rounding precision when importing prices from CSV
  • [trep-engine] subtotals when cells have monetary only

    Instead of accumulating subtotals from any non-#f value, ensure value is a gnc-monetary before accumulating subtotals. This paves the way to allow non-monetary in RHS custom-calculated-cells.

  • Travis - don't try to copy the removed after-failure file to the test container
  • Travis - use ctest built-in feature to verbosely log test failures
  • Fix tokenize_string()to prevent empty strings as Bayes account-matching tokens and remove duplicated tokens.
  • Fix calculation of Bayes account-matching token info to find exactly matching tokens only.
  • Clear online banking KVP from accounts no longer associated with an online one
  • Account template improvements for Swiss-German KMU and Germany SKR04.
  • Appdata file allows packagers to include distribution release information.
  • Ensure that new budgets are saved instead of saving only the state information.
  • Update US Income Tax information for 2019.
  • Correct double-counting of accounts in some cases in US Income Tax Report.
  • Housekeeping - reduce the number of PACKAGE and VERSION related cmake variables
  • Restrict gnucash.pot comment collection to ones beginning with "Translators".

    At the recommendation of the Translation Project coordinator.

  • [html-table][API] html-table can have multirow-col-headers
    • NEW API: gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! gnc:html-table col-headers have been augmented to support list of <th> rows.
    • BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY is offered. Old use of single-row headers API gnc:html-table-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-col-headers! should be unchanged; will get/set a single row of <th> elements.
    • NEW functions gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! will get/set an arbitrary number of rows of <th> elements.
    • using old API gnc:html-table-col-headers on a table, whose multiple row headers have been set, will lead to a warning and return the first row only.

We have revised translations for Croatian, German, Polsih, and Ukrainian
