Thanks to John and all the team. Builds and runs with no obvious problems from the tarball on Linux Mint 21.3.

Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote Default Currency Module
Bruce: I try to run GnuCash's "Get Quotes" feature every day, so every day I use your hard work on Finance::Quote and am grateful for it. Thank you. On 2024-03-30 15:09, Bruce Schuck wrote: Hello all, I'm getting ready to release Finance::Quote v1.60 to CPAN. It appears that AlphaVantage has again changed how they deal with throttling for requests using the free API keys/tokens. This has affected some users that may have data that requires doing more than a handful of currency exchange calculations. While the currency module used can be changed using the FQ_CURRENCY environment variable, I have been asked to change the default to YahooJSON instead of AlphaVantage. Before I make such a change I wanted to get a general consensus from the GnuCash users. Thank you for asking. But I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking. Is there any written description of what throttling behaviour F::Q observes from AlphaVantage? I have an AlphaVantage API key registered in GnuCash's settings. I have about four currencies and 10-20 stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs which get price updates through my daily GnuCash "Get Quotes" regimen. Is this "more than a handful" of currency exchange calculations? Will I be one of the users affected by the throttling? Is the proposed change only for looking up currency exchange rates, so does not affect lookup of securities prices? What is the difference to a consumer like me of F::Q getting the data from YahooJSON rather than from AlphaVantage? —Jim DeLaHunt ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 5.6 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.6, the seventh release in the stable 5.x series. Between 5.5 and 5.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished: Bug 798946 - start/end of current/last quarter have off-by-one error Bug 799093 - Cannot reconcile since v5.4 Bug 799179 - SLR won't allow change from "Reminder" to any other state Bug 799210 - Bad encoding of accented chars in account names in "Import CSV" wizard Bug 799213 - SIGSEGV caused by revising an auto completed transaction Bug 799222 - Crash when changing the parent of an account that has had two or more levels of sub-accounts auto-created using the register in the current session. Bug 799224 - Import of QIF gets Bug detected during duplicates (partial fix: If the new-splits object is null, it means the new account tree from the current import has no splits. Therefore the (apply min|max dates) will fail. Omitting the date query is a simple fix to prevent crashing. This is a partial fix because the crash is likely a symptom of another bug which causes the new account-tree to be empty.

Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction. Date parsing efficiency improvements. Update minumum Python version to 3.8, made necessary by updating the C API in the Python bindings. Replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig. distutils is not present in Python 3.12.2.

David, That would be pretty easy to do, particularly since the alphavantage key also works by setting an environment variable. Unfortunately your suggestion is too late to make today's release.

Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote Default Currency Module
In recent years, I've been using GnuCash on Windows machines, and the idea of environment variables is foreign, so providing that option is, perhaps, less than ideal. Although the developers of GnuCash dislike it, I wonder whether it would be possible to have a user-visible setting for the currency lookups, placed on the settings page with the AlphaVantage key. This would allow users an easy way to change this setting, and would also make it clearer to users that F::Q is retrieving currency info (which messages on this list have demonstrated that people don't realize). Not a developer, not a programmer. David T. On Mar 31, 2024, 1:10 AM, at 1:10 AM, Bruce Schuck wrote: >Hello all, > >I'm getting ready to release Finance::Quote v1.60 to CPAN.
