The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
• Set up filepath utils to determine the GNC_CONFIG_HOME in the same
way as GNC_DATA_HOME.
Until now GNC_CONFIG_HOME was more or less hard-coded. Now it can be set via
environment variable GNC_CONFIG_HOME. In addition it will automatically be
created to avoid potential user confusion.
• Redesign gnc-uri-utils
• gnc_uri_get_components will now return NULL as protocol if
the input is a normal file system path instead of a uri (it used to return
'file')
• gnc_uri_get_protocol will now return NULL if the input is a
normal file system path instead of a uri (it used to return 'file')
• gnc_uri_is_file_protocol now returns FALSE if protocol is
NULL (it used to return TRUE)
• gnc_uri_is_file_uri now returns FALSE if input is a normal
file system path instead of a uri (it used to return TRUE)
• a new function gnc_uri_targets_local_fs will return TRUE only
if its input is either a file uri or a normal file system path. This function
is now mostly used instead of gnc_uri_is_file_uri in the current code base
• a new function gnc_uri_is_uri is added to check whether its
input is a valid uri (has protocol, path and hostname for non-file uris)
• refer to 'scheme' instead of 'protocol' as that's the more
formal term used in uris This involves renaming 3 functions:
• gnc_uri_get_protocol -> gnc_uri_get_scheme
• gnc_uri_is_known_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_known_scheme
• gnc_uri_is_file_protocol -> gnc_uri_is_file_scheme
• The *_protocol variants are marked as deprecated.
• Additionally a number of local variables have been renamed
from protocol to scheme to support this change.
• Show warnings for deprecated declarations
We're about to announce our own set of deprecated functions in libgnucash. That
would be pretty pointless if we also would silence all deprecation warnings at
the same time...
• More report code-cleanup by Chris Lam, including deprecating the
following functions:
• gnc:account-get-balance-at-date
• gnc:account-get-total-flow
• gnc-commodity-numeric-string
• gnc-commodity-value->string
• gnc:double-col
• gnc:options-add-include-subaccounts
• gnc:options-add-group-accounts
• gnc:options-add-currency-selection
The following modules are deprecated:
• report-system/collectors
• report-system/report-collectors
• Invoice: Remove H1 title and superflous option.
Printing the title twice is silly, so remove the option and the H1 display of
the title. Note that the remaining title is in a div named "invoice-title" so
it can be styled with CSS as the user pleases from the Report Options Layout
tab.
• The preference, use formal accounting labels does not update the
header With a register open and you change preference 'use formal accounting
labels' it does not update the register header so add a call back for the
preference.
• Make the grid lines of totals Budget tree view track the preferences.
Make the grid lines of the totals tree view track the preferences to match the
account tree view above it.
• Add routine to fix Account Color being set to "Not Set"
Previously the account color slot has been populated with "Not Set" when any
field for the account has been edited and saved. This routine should run once
and remove all such entries.
• Performance fix in dom_chars_handler: use g_strndup instead of
g_strdup
• In the appdata/metadata file, rename the ID from org.gnucash.Gnucash
to org.gnucash.GnuCash to match flathub, and add a launchable ID to link it to
the desktop file.
• Added double-click-on-file for the CSV transaction, price, and
account importers and exporters.
• Cleaned up a variety of issues reported by the clang static analyzer.
• Allow the text options widget to use all remaining space
The text option widget used for report options has only about 3 lines visible
currently and will not use any available space in the dialogue. Change the
packing for this widget to expand and fill the remaining dialogue space. If
there are more than one text option widget on a page then the available space
will be shared equally.
• Add short_labels for a few toolbar buttons with long names. That
should fit a few more buttons on the toolbar.
• Update iso-4217-currencies.xml, adddding VES - Bolivar Soberano,
minor updates of other VE currencies.
• Python 3 bindings fixes and improvements from Christoph Holterman and
Sumit Bhardwaj.
We have revised translations for Chinese (Simplified), Farsi, German, Japanese,
Portuguese (Portugal), and Ukrainian
Revised or added account templates for English (US), English (UK), German
(Austria), German (Germany), Portuguese (Portugal)
