The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.20, the twenty-first and
final maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Note: This is the last
version of GnuCash that will support MacOS X versions earlier than 10.9 or
Microsoft Windows versions earlier than Windows 7.
Changes
Between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
* Bug 765846 - Expense Over Time for subaccounts: An error occurred while
running the report: Fix crash if acc-depth too low.
* Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7
Enable reading ISO-formatted dates, recognize GNC_FEATURE_SQLITE3_ISO_DATES.
* Bug 792008 - gnucash 2.6.19 fails to build Replace g_assert_true with
g_assert for now
* Bug 793278 - wrong data in charts with accumulated values (like
"net-linechart", "net-barchart" and "liabilities barchart")
* Bug 794030 - relative date functions compute wrong day of month
* Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug This change will fix
'num-of-weeks-since-1/jan/1970' which formerly used quotient to remove the
fractional part of the division. For negative values of num-of-weeks, the
number is truncated in the wrong direction (i.e. towards 0). This change uses
floor instead to ensure the num-of-weeks found is the nearest integer LESS than
the fractional number.
Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
* Online HBCI actions: Remove outdated non-SEPA menu items.
* Add XML namespaces for all Account Hierarchy Templates.
* General cleanup of Account Hierarchy Templates.
* Fix auto-selection of splits in reconcile. Really use all splits of any
given day. Up to now usually the splits of the given date were not or not all
included, as the time comparison didn't correctly ignore any given time-of-day
of the splits. Instead, all possible time-of-days should be included.
* Properly detect git in case of linked worktree.
* Account Hierarchy for India: Set LANGUAGE=hi and LANG=en_IN to access it.
* Improve Import menu entries Customer & vendors use same menu label as
others, replace template by tooltip, add ellipsis to entry, add comments to
distinguish "Import" as verb and substantive.
* Provide preference panel to set the Alpha Vantage API key needed for
Finance::Quote.
* Correct the appstream definition to match the current spec.
* Fix collectors and min-date handling in reports.
Translation Updates: Dutch, German, Spanish, Russian
Important update notification
If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to
remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work
properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in
your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.
Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change
your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.
