No, you can't. Runtimes are a fundamental base concept of flatpaks (and snaps or appimages by the way) and you can't avoid them. These runtimes ensure that there's a known common set of libraries available on the system for the flatpak application to depend on, regardless of the state of the base system. Aside from allowing the application to install on systems that don't have the proper base system, it also eliminates a whole host of compatibility issues early on in the development process. Issues that otherwise have to be solved by distribution maintainers when they package the applications for the regular packaging system of said distro. Personally I think both systems (flatpaks vs distro packages) have their own distinct advantages and disadvantages. And I think both have their place. However in this particular scenario - distributing beta software for testing - I believe the isolation is actually a big advantage. So if you want to install the (beta) gnucash flatpak on your system you will also have to accept to install the required gnome runtime for it. If this is a hurdle for you, consider you can also only install it for as long as you want to beta test gnucash. You can easily remove this runtime together with the gnucash beta flatpak when you're done testing with the "flatpak uninstall" command.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
I have installed Fedora 37 with Gnome to a different partition (so I can run different versions). When I try to follow the instructions in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak, to install the beta, I get: [tydeman@x1car2 ~]$ flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo [tydeman@x1car2 ~]$ flatpak install --user flathub-beta org.gnucash.GnuCash Looking for matches… error: No remote refs found for ‘flathub-beta’ [tydeman@x1car2 ~]$ Since I am doing cut and paste, there should not be any typos.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
Hi John and devs, Thanks for the update. I had a number of problems as per the following:- System --- Lenovo laptop, Intel i5, 8 Gb ram, Gnucash 4.13 / Finance Quote 1.54 / Win 10 Pro, Version 22H2, OS Build 19044.2486, Win32 strawberry-perl 5.32.1.1 #1 Sun Jan 24 12:17:47 2021 i386 Process Installed 4.900 which auto uninstalled 4.13. Started Gnucash 4.900 which displayed the "Tip of The Day" and then the "Welcome to Gnucash" dialogs. Unfortunately Gnucash 4.900 didn't seem to find my xml data file and the Most Recent file list just displays "RecentFile0Action" (Function name?) instead of the usual 2-3 file names. Manually opened the last file used which is just a copy of my usual Gnucash file, it opened fine and re-displayed all the tabs that were previously open. Got the message about the Budget amounts being fixed during the open process. It doesn't seem to be finding my saved report options - the report names are included in the save report config list but no options and the Accounts Selected has reverted to all accounts. Get quotes is now not working - the button is simply greyed out. Like Glenn I also can't turn off the Tip of the Day or the Display Welcome Dialog Again? and on exiting and restarting Gnucash I repeatedly get prompted to Create a new set of accounts / Import my QIF files / Open the new user tutorial. Also yesterday I happened to update and save Report Options for a saved report configuration and it seemed Gnucash crashed, repeating the process today did NOT result in a crash. Hope this helps and once again thanks to you and the other devs for all your hard work on Gnucash. Regards David H.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
I thought one of the points of Flatpaks were that they didn't require the base system to match the software being installed.

I am running a different window manager. On another computer, running Fedora 26 (very old) Linux, I get: Unacceptable TLS certificate. Reinstalling ca-certificates did not help.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
Hi John, First, thank you to you and the team for the development! It is very much appreciated! I was able to test 4.900 on a Windows 10 machine. Here are some bugs I have noticed so far. If you want these in Bugzilla I can put them there as well: 1. The tip of the day cannot be turned off. Unchecking "Show tips at startup" and in Preferences > General is ignored 2. "Manage document link" is missing the keyboard shortcut. It has always been the letter "M". 3. Pressing the ALT key does not show the keyboard shortcut letters as before. However, if you open a menu, press, ALT, and wiggle the mouse in the menu they will appear. I had to go back to v4.13 as the keyboard shortcuts are a must for me as I use them for macros.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
For general information... I installed Gnucash 4.900 from the .dmg file on MacOS Ventura 13.1. I created a new file for a project that is starting fresh this year. I haven't done much more with it yet than created accounts in two currencies with a starting balance in one of them. No issues have arisen so far, but it isn't much of a test yet.

Re: [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.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
25 years young! Thanks to all the developers for their tireless efforts. It looks like there are a bunch of changes under the hood in anticipation of future releases.

[GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.900, the first unstable release leading to GnuCash 5.0. This is an unstable release for testing purposes. Do not use it with production data! Make a copy of your book to test this release. New Features A new Stock Transaction Assistant to guide you through entering most investment transactions for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. You can access it from Actions>Stock Assistant when you have the Accounts page ora Stock or Fund account register open. A new Investment Lots report showing a graph of capital gains and losses in a period by investment lot. Note that if you don't use the View Lots dialog to manage capital gains and losses this report won't have anything to show you. Use Reports>Assets & Liabilities>Investment Lots to see the report. A new tab on the New/Edit Account dialog called More Properties includes entries to set a high and low limit on an account. That's coupled to a new column that's available on the Accounts Page, Balance Limit. If you set a high or low limit and the account balance falls above or below the respective limit an indicator will be shown in the Balance Limit column. The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down list of possible completions instead of just one inline completion. File import menu items for the MT940, MT942, and DTAUS formats is replaced with a single Import from AQBanking that supports importing any file format supported by AQBanking, including the frequently requested CAMT. Between 4.13 and 4.900, the following bugfixes were accomplished: The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14: Bug 798588 - sx scrubbing was using incorrect free function Bug 798625 - "Last up through report date" changed in 4.12 Bug 798679 - Unicode normalization should be used for comparison but not stored. Bug 798702 - Crash in gnc_plugin_page_focus_idle_destroy() closing a report before it completes. Bug 798705 - New: UI string mismatch: OK vs. Next Bug 798717 - Reports > Business > Fancy Invoice duplicates company details The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only: Bug 403979 - Balance column shows only low order digits when too narrow If the column is too narrow to display the whole number it will display the leading digits with an ellipsis (…). Bug 769256 - Change New Account Dialog Rearrange the New and Edit Account dialog to move the parent selector under the description field followed by the account type as a combo (i.e. drop down) list. The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports: Unicode normalization for string matches is changed from NFKC to NFC. This means that font and positional variants will no longer match and is unlikely to affect most users. See Unicode Normalization Forms:Canonical and Compatibility Equivalence for the technical details. The Gtk menu structure has been rewritten to use the newer GMenu/GMenuModel system. This change is mostly invisible to users, except that to keep menu accelerators (like Q to quit) working on macOS we had to let macOS handle the events. That will affect using cut, copy, and paste in dialog boxes because the menu will intercept them. That's temporary, we hope to have it fixed for GnuCash 4.901. The Finance::Quote interface is rewritten in C++. This new design will allow much better capture of diagnostics from Finance::Quote making troubleshooting problems much easier. The perl Finance::Quote utilities gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper are removed and new commands added to gnucash-cli: --quotes info replaces gnc-fq-check and --quotes dump replaces gnc-fq-dump. New API: The options system has been rewritten in C++ with Scheme wrappers for report options. While this is invisible to most users, those who have written custom reports should look for deprecation warnings when the custom reports are reconciled. The main difference is that option creation and registration is now done in a single function call. Nearly all standard code defined a local convenience function that wrapped the two steps, for example (let* ((options (gnc:new-options)) (add-option (lambda (new-option) (gnc:register-option options new-option) called as (add-option (gnc:make-string-optionpagename title key docstring default-value)) The convenience function is no longer needed, call (let* ((options (gnc-new-optiondb))) ... (gnc-register-string-option options pagename title key docstring default-value) intead. Note that gnc:new-options is now gnc-new-options. There are several similar changes. All of these are wrapped in bindings/guile/options.scm with the old names, but are marked to raise deprecation warnings to encourage you to change. The wrappers will be removed in GnuCash 6.0.
