Hi all

That makes it slightly harder to check translations.

For normal visitors are now only the 2.0 screenshots shown  under
Features. OK, I know the nonexistant GTK3 screenshots would look
different - much more ugly IMHO. ;-)

So the question arises: Would somebody volunteer, to create a new
Features pages, taking the best from
http://www.gnucash.org/features.phtml and
http://www.gnucash.org/2.6-release-tour
and create an updated Gnucash 3.x feature page with fresh screenshots?

Required knowledge: HTML, PHP

Should we forward an improved version of this message to gnucash-user?


I made some gtk3 screenshots for the docs for 3.0. They’re in 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/tree/maint/guide/C/figures 
 and 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/tree/maint/help/C/figures 
. Doesn’t cover 
everything but they might be helpful.


They'll be random for many people until the keys get normalised (have a 
z in normal if you voted for the fuckwit in charge of the USA).

IIRC boost-1.54 is what’s in Ubuntu-14.04 and that’s what we picked as our 
baseline release for developing master after 2.6.0 was released. The cast in 
that patch may be the only issue, but afaik no-one has tested boost 1.53 for 
other issues.

Re: [GNC-dev] Issues building in ubuntu Bionic Beaver

[Geert Janssens]

Hi Nate,

Thanks for informing us of the bug in webkit and how to work around it on 
Ubuntu Bionic.

And more help in the code is certainly welcome!

The last couple of months the active devs have been busy mostly with cleaning 
up and fixing bugs as the result of the switch to gtk3/webkit2 which was 
forced upon us. So there wasn't much activity on our C++ porting effort.

We usually suggest to start by getting familiar with the current code base. A 
good way of doing so is to browse our bug list in bugzilla (https://
bugs.gnucash.org) and try and fix some of those. Usually from there 
contributors find areas they are more interested in and go work on that.

As for the c++ port in particular, this has started in libgnucash/engine. A 
few source files have been converted to c++ classes but there is still a lot 
to do. As we can't do it all at once our strategy is to keep the c-interface 
unchanged, but replace the implementation with c++ classes. Any c++ code can 
use the new c++ interfaces directly instead of going through the old c-
interface. In the end when everything has been ported, the old c-interface 
will be dropped.

You may also want to read https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development
It has several useful pointers to start contributing.

I would also suggest to communicate a lot with the devs in the beginning, 
either here or on irc. That way we can help you avoid certain pitfalls or 
prevent double work.

Other than that, just dive in and have fun!

Geert
