The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.9, the tenth release
in the stable 4.x series
Between 4.8 and 4.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 797502 - (RTL) - Right edge of the reports are locked
while scrolling down Running gnucash in Hebrew, the right edge of the
reports are locked while scrolling down and do not scroll with the
rest of the report.
• Bug 797618 - Spanish translation of Shares and Stock
• Bug 797678 - OFX importer should supplement, not replace,
existing Notes (and Description and Memo) fields Add an "Append"
checkbox to the bottom of the "Generic import transaction matcher"
window to the left of the "Reconcile after match" checkbox. When
ticked, this causes the imported Description/Notes to be appended to
the matched transaction Description/Notes respectively. The selected
ticked/unticked state of the "Append" checkbox is saved in a key
value pair for the import account, so the next import for that
account will automatically default it to the saved state. As these
mods are limited to the code for the matcher window, this should work
for all the imports that use it - ie ofx & csv file imports (both tested) &
aqbanking (cannot test).
• Bug 797772 - Allow reconciliation report to double filter
by both posting and reconciliation date
• Bug 798222 - Account search dialog: Pushing enter does nothing
• Bug 798266 - Dropdown picker menu for category does not appear
• Bug 798313 - "File/Import/Import Transactions From CSV"
crashes Gnucash.
• Bug 798320 - Error message indicating a crash of GNUcash
when closing application - MacOS 10.15.7 (19H1419)
• Bug 798325 - New Currency for Venezuela (VED)
• Bug 798327 - Ofx import stops too early for multi-account
OFX and one account has no new transactions
• Bug 798335 - No longer possible to change trading account
Strip trading splits only if "Use Trading Accounts" is enabled for
the book so that users who want to manage trading accounts by hand may do so.
• Bug 798341 - Right align in Hebrew - Account screen
• Bug 798346 - crashes when running check & repair
• Bug 798352 - Decimal Precision when Entering Mutual Fund
Transaction Let xaccParseAmount parse up to 12 decimal places instead
of 8.
• Bug 798382 - Typo corrections in comments The following
fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
• More memory leak plugging and GList efficiency improvements.
• Fix build with cmake older than 3.18
3.18 introduced 'cmake -E cat', but we still have to support versions
starting from 3.14.
• [account-piecharts] don't use gnc:make-internal-option
• Several improvements to the experimental IFRS cost-basis report.
• Fix two minor issues with displaying links in the Document
Link dialog.
• Fix obsolete links to bugzilla.gnome.org in translations.
• L18N: Fix glossary/es.po:906: duplicate message definition...
901: ...this is the location of the first definition
• [budget-flow] delay creating exchange-fn until a valid
budget exists because it needs budget period end-date.
• [options.scm] Addon previous commit... need to initialize
with guid
• [options.scm] gnc:make-budget-option stores guid instead
of object because object may become stale if UI is used to delete it,
leading to stale pointer and segfault. storing guid is safer, and
will return null if budget is deleted.
• support SEPA internal transfer
• Fix issue with failure to run reconciliation with all
accounts present in a multi-account OFX file. Do that by saving a
GList of statements, rather than a pointer to a single one. Also
freeing of info happens during the call to process_next_file.
• Import of OFX files with many securities opens too many
matching dialogs Because ofx import is currently split per target
account, and since each security has its own accounts, importing such
OFX is a tedious process. The fix is to only split the transactions
if we identify a potential transfer, currently based on amount, date
and accounts. To do that, we insert transactions one by one into a
list, making sure we have not already inserted one that has the same
date, and the same absolute amount. If we have, we keep this
potential transfer for a second phase. A naive approach would loop
through added transactions for each new transaction by that ends up
being O(N^2), which matters if we have many transactions. Instead, I'm using a
hash to make this O(N log N).
• [date-utilities.scm] remove unused date selectors code & string
• Adjust GNC_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_END To match new signature
of g_once_init_enter and g_once_init_leave.
• Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.
glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.
• Add explanatory note for gnc_add_scheme_deprecated_module
test code The immediate parent commit removes old deprecated scheme
modules. Link to the old modules for example code.
• [test-engine-extras] don't create splits of opposing
amt/value signs Splits' value and amount should never be of opposite
signs. Fix test book which had created this incorrect value/amount
pair. Strengthen env-create-multisplit-transaction to disallow test
book errors.
• [dialog-search] another QofQuery "q" must be destroyed
because qof_query_merge creates a newly allocated QofQuery, its 2
QofQuery must be freed separately.
• [trep-engine] new option "Date Filter" to specify dates to
filter by
• [dialog-sx-since-last-run] don't allocate repeatedly to
combine strings
• [test-transaction] "Report Currency" renamed to "Report's
currency"
• Separate the warnings for "cut split/transaction" and
"delete split/transaction"
• [gnc-autoclear] Move autoclear algorithm into gnome-utils
• GSettings - fix GObject warning when old prefs-version is
unset This will happen when current master (future 5.0) has been run
at least once.
• [utest-gnc-pricedb] add tests for gnc_price_list_equal
Also need to change PWARN which causes test failure, to PINFO
• [reconcile-view][bug] dr/cr query tests amount instead of
value Because split->amount and split->value are generally of equal
sign, EXCEPT in stock transactions whereby split->value can be zero
and split->amount is non-zero. e.g. a stock split transaction.
Querying the split amount instead will allow stock accounts with stock splits
to be reconciled.
• [split-register-model.c] Hide price==1 for zero-amount
splits mainly of interest in zero-amount zero-value splits in the
stock register eg dividend splits.
• [core-utils] introduce gnc:format (gnc:format str [binding
value]...) str will contain ${binding} which will be replaced to
value.
• [import-main-matcher] show destination acct for auto-match
• GSettings - add 'deprecate' and 'obsolete' conversions for
user preferences 'deprecate' is technically a noop. It serves to
remind maintainers the 'deprecated' preference is to be obsoleted in
the next major release.
'obsolete' goes one step further in that it will cause gnucash to
reset the preference, effectively clearing the value stored in the
preferences backend. This is the final phase of a preference.
Following this it will be completely removed from the GSettings schema in the
next major release.
Notes * 'deprecate' and 'migrate' are related. Both are a reminder
the preference is to be obsoleted in the next major release.
'deprecate' does only that though while 'migrate' will also trigger a
copy of the old value to a new location in the databse. * This commit
readds a couple of preferences that had been removed in the past to
be able to properly obsolete them (and to test the obsoleting code)
New API

Documentation
Concurrent with the release of GnuCash 4.9 we're pleased to also
release a new version of the companion Help and Tutorial and Concepts
Guide
Between 4.8 and 4.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 797950 - Reconcilation docs don't mention automatic
credit card payment feature.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
• Guide:C: Add a directory with datafiles for faster
regeneration of images
• Chapter "Online-Quotes" created.
* Description of the installation and configuration of F::Q (moved
from Help_ch_Account-Actions-xml).
• Remove several Autotools remains
• Drop TravisCI as we are using Github Workflows now.
• Removed the information of HACKING file from README.
• Add ghelp to the default target At some point in the past
ghelp didn't have to be built, as one could develop and test simply
from the source directory. That is no longer the case so perform a
build by default if ghelp is enabled.
