[GNC-dev] Browse Documentation Online by Chapter
The web has changed a lot since GnuCash documentation was first accessible online. What are the thoughts about changing online documentation to browse by Chapter rather than Chapter Section? The ability to scroll forward and back gives much more context to the documentation. The effect s shown in https://gnucash-docs-rst.readthedocs.io/ The ability to link to specific parts of the chapter is still useful. ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
In the case of the Fedora 26 system it won't even let him connect, probably because it doesn't have TLS 1.3 and Flathub (rightly) refuses to connect. Fred, there's not enough info on the other failure. AFAIK Flatpak does indeed work only on Linux, but doesn't care about the desktop environment. It installs its own Gnome runtime and all the other needed dependencies.

Flathub is your best option, see the beta instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Regular_releases_at_flathub.org. ***But note that this is an unstable release!

[GNC-dev] Configurable Year Start Day/Month
I'm seeking comments on a proposal to support a configurable year start day/month. This goes back to https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2021-September/045946.html but I see the issue a bit clearer now. Firstly, GnuCash already supports Accounting Period Start/End Date eg https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/4.12/libgnucash/app-utils/date-utilities.scm#L621-L625 (Note: even code variable names demonstrate the confusion between accounting and fiscal year) Accounting Period only supports a single period changed manually which is very limiting compared to Previous/This/Next Year variants automatically updated each day as supported elsewhere in GnuCash and other packages. I've hacked a different start year month into each version over the last couple of years which could be modified to change day: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-October/097880.html On year-start day/month (ie new year) the year is numbered by the calendar year at the end of the period (eg 1 Jul 2020 to 30 Jun 2021 is 2021). Reporting by year variants works well (although I don't use Business Features) but the change process is inconvenient and too complex for most users. If the changes are likely to be accepted I'm happy to: * do any changes required as described in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports * update the documentation to explain the preference setting * rename variable: cal-year to cur-year * add a previous 2Year Start/End period so preparing reports for the previous year allows the year before that to also be accessed I understand the GnuCash Preferences, Report, year-start day/month would need to be in a compiled executable. I'd ask someone to send me one as a windows executable. A default of 1 January would ensure users are not affected unless they change the setting. ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
Note also this release will perform a one-time change to the internal representation of budget amounts to fix a class of bugs. The budget amounts will hopefully be more stable and reliable, and reflect the reverse balanced accounts global preference closely. Beta testers are needed to verify the behaviour of the budget editor and reports.
