The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
[import-main-matcher.cpp] After clicking/toggling A/U+C/C checkbox, reselect the row
because it'll be much faster to use keyboard navigation -- use up/down/left/right to target
desired checkbox, hit <down> <space> repeatedly to repeat the same action over
several consecutive rows.
Implement support for !Type:Prices records in the QIF importer.
Modernize construction of GObjects using G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE,
G_DECLARE_FINAL, etc.
Fix yet more leaks.
[DBI backend] Change DBI test URLs to environment variables from cmake
configuration definitions.
Restore the Stock Transaction Assistant to full operation.
Fix the Fancy Date file property so that it saves.
Fix formatting error in po files project-id line.
[simple-business-create.py] Overwrite an existing file instead of crashing.
Update github action package versions.
Add parsing mixed number and fraction (e.g. 10 1/2) to the gnc_numeric
string constructor.
Bump minimum cmake version to 3.14 and drop some conditionals for older
versions
Major speedup in the SQLBackend by replacing C++ exceptions with
std::optional for null values.
Refresh the GUI on completion of the import matcher so that the imports
are immediately reflected in the register.
Improve online quote retrieval error reporting.
Test loading and saving XML files with and without compression
[import-main-matcher] always defer_bal_computation during import to speed
up both importing new transactions, and destroying existing ones.
GncGtkListUIItem::set_option_from_ui_item: Iterate over selected items
Instead of all possible items.
Convert gnc-ofx-import.c, import-parse.c, import-utilities.c,
import-format-dialog.c, import-account-matcher.c, import-commodity-matcher.c,
import-settings.c, import-pending-matches.c, import-match-picker.c,
import-main-matcher.c, and gnc-pricedb.c to .cpp
By default, filter out online_wiggle in test-gnc-quotes. Running
./bin/test-gnc-quotes from the command line will still include online_wiggle
Replace yahoo_json with alphavantage in test-gnc-quotes. yahoo_json is too
unstable.
Include timezone in price-quote date diagnostic messages.
