The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
• The Customer/Employee/Vendor reports have been rewritten. The new
versions may be found in Reports>Experimental.
• [stylesheet-css] a user-customisable CSS based stylesheet New
stylesheet.
Exposes a single text box for full CSS customisability.
• Allow account selection by typing into the post-to field of the
payment window
• When sizing some register columns take account of 'Tot' being added.
• Take account for the pop up button border in the register.
• Change the date sample so it has the maximum text width possible
• [new-owner-report] bugfix: balance row needs variable linked cols
• Improve translations by scriptedly removing the removed colon suffix.
• [report-utilities] bugfix: aging-list was incorrect. off-by-1 error.
• [report-utilities] bugfix: overpayment works for AP accounts.
• Swap the buttons around on the Budget Open dialogue
Swap the OK and Cancel buttons so they conform to the normal layout.
• [report-utilities] bugfix: fix overpayment detection
For 1 payment to >1 invoices, previously would miscalculate overpayment.
• [budgets.scm] Budget reports handle both natural & reversed budgets.
This change is protected by a Feature: Using it will prevent the file from
being opened by earlier versions of GnuCash.
• [gnc-budget-view.c] totals - 5 fundamental types
previous showed income/expense/transfers/totals budget totals, of uncertain
meaning. now shows income/expense/asset/liability/equity budget totals. The 5
lines also become sensitive to the global sign-reverse property.
• bindings-python - drop references to gnucash-env
We no longer ship a gnucash-env script, directly use python(3) instead
• [balsheet-pnl] fix: single-date balsheet missed printing date
• [balsheet-pnl] fix: hide Equity sections when not needed
• If currencies are not converted, Unrealized Gains are
meaningless. Hide them.
• If there are no income/expense accounts, retained earnings
will be nil. Remove row.
• Ignore trailing noise on imported transaction account numbers.
AQBanking6 uses a separate method for retrieving account numbers for account
info and transactions, where the transactions method can have additional
characters, most often the ISO4217 currency code. That results in match
failures when importing. As a work-around, compare only the length of the
account-info-generated online id when comparing it to the transaction-generated
one. Note that this is only a partial solution: At least one German bank also
appends characters to the transaction-generated bank id and that will still
cause the match to fail.
• [dialog-payment] Add warning label if payment is unattached
Completing a payment for a customer without associating with an open invoice is
allowable and is used for prepayments. Enable a warning to inform that the
payment does not have an invoice/bill document attached.
• [aging] update error reporting
This error handling was for transactions in APAR accounts whereby Transaction
Currency != Owner Currency. An example is a manually entered transaction, then
assigned as payment to a customer with a different currency.
• Fixed German IBAN error message
• Allow edit of some fields for posted invoice
Allow editing of some fields for posted invoice. For reasons, see bug report:
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797400
• [average-balance] show monetaries instead of numbers in data table
• UK VAT template: replace obsolete EEC and EC by EU
• Implement the presentation of static optical TAN challenges (photoTAN
and QR) inside the enter TAN dialogue.
• [budget] fixcrash: fix crasher for some periods
eg. the following combo would previously crash: - periods from next to current
- use accumulated amounts
• [budget] fixcrash: prevent crash if periods start > end
It's silly to input start-period > end-period. Nevertheless handle it by
swapping them instead of crashing. i.e. report budget periods from end to start.
• [budget-flow] fixcrash: exchange-fn needs to specify exchange date
because some exchange-fn *do* require date eg. pricedb-nearest. use the period
end-date for the exchange date.
• [portfolio report] There's no report-currency. Use currency.
• [window-report] show backtrace when report crashes
• Exposes a SCM string last-captured-error containing last
backtrace
• when rendering report-crash window, include it

min-width style attribute
