The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.16, the seventeenth release in
the stable 5.x series.
Between 5.15 and 5.16, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 421610 - RFE: Include logical dates for View->Filter by "date range"The
Select Range section of the Date tab of the register's Filter By dialog box is
changed to provide relative, specific date, or days ago options for the start
and end of the filter range. The Show number of days item label is changed to
Show from days ago to better reflect what it does.
Bug 436105 - esc key not working as expected in register: Enable the escape
key to cancel a field edit.
Bug 797384 - Gnucash doesn't handle commodity prices with big
numerator/denominator properly.
Bug 798004 - Next gen UI for stock transactions
Bug 799314 - Add "enter now" option in scheduled transaction editor. tab to
allow users to select the scheduled transactions to be included in a “Since
Last Run…” window. If there are no instances of a selected transaction
triggered by today’s date, the next instance is triggered.
Bug 799751 - autocomplete crash
Bug 799759 - Users can't Enable entries via Checkboxes on Scheduled
Transactions PageAllow the Enabled box in the list of scheduled transactions to
be operated instead of having to open the transaction editor dialog and change
the Enabled checkbox. Also added use of the Name column as the secondary column
sort for all the other columns.
Bug 799762 - Poor handling of cases where hidden/placeholder accounts are
used in the account register
Bug 799766 - Double line preference not respected in search register
Bug 799767 - POST /accounts in bindings/python/example_scripts/rest-api is
broken
Bug 799777 - `xaccSplitSetParent`: reparenting a committed split silently
drops its KVP slots (online_id, cap-gains links)
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Numeric values may now be selected to copy in the Accounts page.
Add new Finance::Quote source Finnhub.io: Free API key
(personal/non-professional use) available at https://finnhub.io. Set
FINNHUB_API_KEY environment variable to API key to use this source. As of June
2026, free tier API limit is 60 API calls/minute.
The Investment Lots report has new optional columns for Computed Annual
Growth Rate.
Python Bindings: Improved translation of primary object (Account,
Transaction, Split, etc.) so that they can be treated as normal Python objects.
This is accomplished with SWIG magic so no existing code is obsoleted.
Python Bindings: Better conversion of GLists to Python lists.
Python Bindings: Destroy the QofSession in the Python Session dtor to
prevent leaving the database locked.
[engine] Add first-class online_id accessors for Split and Account and make
them available to Python bindings, removing the unused Transaction online_id
property.
Improve C++ implementation of QofBook.
Correct the Doxygen doc for qof_instance_get/set_kvp.
[gnc-log-replay.cpp] fix incorrect guid dump
Add some Boost library requirements needed by libgnucash-guile to
CMakeLists.txt so that missing feature will fail at configure time.
Use Compile-time Regular Expressions instead of std::regex in
gnc-filepath-utils.cpp and instead of boost::regex in the CSV importer, with
the CTRE v3.11.1 header added to borrowed
[gnc-filepath-utils.cpp] null check char* arguments
Add ChartJS licenses.
Removed AEX from list of commodities. euronext.com is now using JS based
anti-webscraping.
[report-core] always offer options summary in reports. This is useful to
debug reports. The Add options summary option is removed because it's no longer
optional.
Remove remaining obsolete IMContext from sheet
Fix blurry text in HiDPI offscreen-rendered widgets
Add port field to database connection dialog: The convention of appending
the port number after the host isn't obvious.
When editing a split in the register treat the account as being changed
only if it isn't the one selected before editing instead of if the user
performed an edit
Return immediately from qof_book_destroy if hash_of_collections is null. If
qof_book_destroy is called on a QofBook* freshly created with qof_book_new
(usually because it was used to create a session that now must be destroyed) it
would try to empty the non-existent hash tables, crashing.
Clean up Flathub metadata to solve warnings at flatpak build time.
Be consistent in naming GncPluginPage and GncPluginPageRegister
HTML: Remove unimplemented function declarations.
[gnc-html.cpp] remove unused buggy string conversion functions
Convert libgnc-html to C++
Apply -Wall -Werr -Wmissing-prototypes to C++ compilation on Windows and
fix the resulting errors.
