That's fine of course although more recent development has discovered bugs in 
those old versions as well that got fixed in the meantime :)

Just for your convenience if you ever decide to migrate to a newer version be 
sure to first open and save your data file with a gnucash 2.6 version 
(preferably the most recent one) and only then with 3.x. We only support data 
upgrades one major version at the time.

Geert

I still use version 2.4.13.  It has been the least buggiest for me.

GnuCash 3.0 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 3.0, the first release 
in our new 3.x stable series.
New Features for Users:

 The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses the Gtk+-3.0 
Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was forced on us by some major 
Linux distributions dropping support for the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the 
Webkit project doesn't support Microsoft Windows so that platform will continue 
to use the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0 as the 
minimum version because it fully supports CSS theming.
 New editors to remove outdated or incorrect match data from the import 
maps, a new user interfacs for managing files associated with transactions, an 
improved facility for removing old prices from the price database, and a way to 
remove deleted files from the history list in the file menu.
 New Reports: A Reconciliation Report based on the Transaction Report,a 
Income GST Report, and a Cashflow Barchart report.
 A new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new features including 
the ability to re-import CSV files exported from GnuCash, along with a separate 
CSV price importer.
 A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote 
users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment. We've removed all references to 
the various Yahoo! quote sources and made Alphavantage the default.
 Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating 
system's conventions by default:
 Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
 MacOS: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
 Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
 It's still possible to overried with the environment variable 
GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash.
 Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead of names 
so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you rename an account. The 
Bayesian import maps are also stored in a flatter structure to allow faster 
access, especially in SQL. These changes mean that if you have Bayesian mapping 
data, once converted your database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.20 and 
later.
 MySQL and SQLite3 date storage has changed a bit. Once converted, MySQL 
and SQLite3 database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.19 and later.
 Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old 
6-digit-maximum fraction is now 9-digits, and prices may have up to 18 digit 
precision.
 Chart Reports appearance is improved, including more modern chart colours 
as suggested by http://clrs.cc/.
 Transaction Report improvements, including regular expression filtering and many 
more options and features including a "Subtotal Summary Grid" The subtotal 
summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey vertically, sec-sortkey 
horizontally. For example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date, 
sec-subtotal = monthly will produce a monthly time series table.
 The About dialog box layout is improved and now includes the detected 
Finance::Quote version.
 GnuCash will always build the locale-specific tax modules. This was 
optional when building with autotools and never enabled when building with 
cmake. Note that the only supported tax locales are en_US and de_DE.
 On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
 GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2

New Features for Developers:

 Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten in C++, an 
effort that will continue in the next development cycle. KVP is now private to 
libgncmod-engine and accessible outside via qof_instance_set and 
qof_instance_get. KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and 
boost::UUID respectively.
 C++ unit tests require GoogleTest. While it's possible to use prebuilt 
libgtest and libgmock on some distros, building static libraries for GnuCash is 
preferred. It may be necessary to provide the paths to the googletest and 
googlemock source with CMake parameters GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT respectively.
 The date implementation is migrated to boost::date-time, replacing a Glib 
GDateTime implementation. This makes the earliest date recordable 1 

Re: ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 3.0 Released

[David Carlson]

Wes,
That is a known issue which the developers have taken up with Microsoft.

Before you override the warning, however, carefully read the list of known
bugs in the release announcement to see if you would prefer to wait for a
maintenance release in this series.

There is also a thread about release 3.0 crashing in Windows that you
should read.

RE: ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 3.0 Released

[pjlbyrne]

Hi Wes,

The developers assure us in other recent threads that the virus report is a
'false-positive' ie not really a virus. The matter has been reported to
microsoft so it should not be reported in the future.

Patrick

Re: Re: GnuCash 3.0 Released

[Thomas Bray]

Good morning John,

The Github download link for GnuCash's 3.0 release is incorrect on the 
page/mailing list email below:


https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-April/075866.html

(Sorry, I'm fairly new to FOSS and don't quite know the terminology/how 
best to let you know)


The listed Github Win32 link is (incorrectly) listed as the following:

"Download GnuCash for Win32: 
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/3.0/gnucash-3.0.setup.exe; 



The valid direct link for the download is instead: 
_https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/3.0/gnucash-3.0.-setup.exe_ 
(note the extra hyphen between "3.0." and "setup."


I'm excited to try out GnuCash; have a great day!

Best,

Thomas Bray

Thanks for the suggestion to revert back to 2.6.20 I just finished the install 
and it seems to be working. I know it is always hard to get every thing to 
function correctly but I appreciate all the work that all the developers have 
put into getting GnuCash 3.0 working.

The changes don’t apply to Postgresql.

Was PostgreSQL omitted from this statement accidentally, or do the
changes not apply to that database backend?

GnuCash 3.0 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 3.0, the first release 
in our new 3.x stable series.
New Features for Users:

 The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses the Gtk+-3.0 
Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was forced on us by some major 
Linux distributions dropping support for the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the 
Webkit project doesn't support Microsoft Windows so that platform will continue 
to use the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0 as the 
minimum version because it fully supports CSS theming.
 New editors to remove outdated or incorrect match data from the import 
maps, a new user interfacs for managing files associated with transactions, an 
improved facility for removing old prices from the price database, and a way to 
remove deleted files from the history list in the file menu.
 New Reports: A Reconciliation Report based on the Transaction Report,a 
Income GST Report, and a Cashflow Barchart report.
 A new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new features including 
the ability to re-import CSV files exported from GnuCash, along with a separate 
CSV price importer.
 A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote 
users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment. We've removed all references to 
the various Yahoo! quote sources and made Alphavantage the default.
 Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating 
system's conventions by default:
 Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/Gnucash
 MacOS: $HOME/Application Support/Gnucash
 Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
 It's still possible to overried with the environment variable 
GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash.
 Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead of names 
so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you rename an account. The 
Bayesian import maps are also stored in a flatter structure to allow faster 
access, especially in SQL. These changes mean that if you have Bayesian mapping 
data, once converted your database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.20 and 
later.
 MySQL and SQLite3 date storage has changed a bit. Once converted, MySQL 
and SQLite3 database will be loadable only by GnuCash 2.6.19 and later.
 Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old 
6-digit-maximum fraction is now 9-digits, and prices may have up to 18 digit 
precision.
 Chart Reports appearance is improved, including more modern chart colours 
as suggested by http://clrs.cc/.
 Transaction Report improvements, including regular expression filtering and many 
more options and features including a "Subtotal Summary Grid" The subtotal 
summary-grid will tabulate subtotals - prime-sortkey vertically, sec-sortkey 
horizontally. For example, with prime-sortkey = accounts, sec-sortkey = date, 
sec-subtotal = monthly will produce a monthly time series table.
 The About dialog box layout is improved and now includes the detected 
Finance::Quote version.
 GnuCash will always build the locale-specific tax modules. This was 
optional when building with autotools and never enabled when building with 
cmake. Note that the only supported tax locales are en_US and de_DE.
 On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
 GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2

New Features for Developers:

 Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten in C++, an 
effort that will continue in the next development cycle. KVP is now private to 
libgncmod-engine and accessible outside via qof_instance_set and 
qof_instance_get. KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and 
boost::UUID respectively.
 C++ unit tests require GoogleTest. While it's possible to use prebuilt 
libgtest and libgmock on some distros, building static libraries for GnuCash is 
preferred. It may be necessary to provide the paths to the googletest and 
googlemock source with CMake parameters GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT respectively.
 The date implementation is migrated to boost::date-time, replacing a Glib 
GDateTime implementation. This makes the earliest date recordable 1 January 
1400CE instead of 1 January 1CE. We doubt any users will be affected.
 We've reorganized the code into a core library directory, libgnucash, and 
application-specific directory, gnucash. The python bindings are now in a 
top-level directory, bindings; code pinched from other projects is in borrowed, 
the account templates, check templates, and pixmaps are consolidated in data, 
and common holds the cmake modules and test framework code. The bin directory's 
contents have moved
