Re: [GNC] Moving to Gnucash 3
That’s not necessarily true, see Geert’s discussion of Bayesian import-matching. There are some other feature blocks but they require overt user action to use a new feature. The block is easily worked around by making a separate backup of your data file before trying GnuCash 3.x., though you would have to re-do any work done in 3.3.

Re: [GNC] Moving to Gnucash 3
I found it odd to get stuck on an earlier version without testing a new one before. I use GnuCash 3.3 on W10 without major issues, except for what development has not yet given us and the critical version migration issues have already been resolved and I've helped in this. Bug reporting is one way we can help. Updating and downgrade is very simple. -- Regards GTI Em dom, 25 de nov de 2018 às 11:57, Geert Janssens < geert.gnuc...@kobaltwit.be> escreveu: > David, > > You keep saying this.

Re: [GNC] Moving to Gnucash 3
In retrospect it may be interesting to add a bit more detail to my train of thought. I skipped it in my original mail as David is a long-time user so I took some parts for granted. Installing a different version of gnucash can introduce issues on several levels: Firstly, format changes in how we store your financial data itself can result in issues, which is stored wherever you chose the first time you created your book. We support incompatible changes between two major releases only. So gnucash 3.x will be able to load books saved with 2.6.x. And the other way around the last 2.6 release (2.6.21) will be able to load books saved with gnucash 3.x. If you skip major releases (say you last used 2.4 and now want to use 3.x), you are advised to first open the book and resave it in the last intermediary recent release (in the example that would be 2.6.21). In this area we still have an issue to solve with the import matcher bayesian data. In human terms, the importers keep some history on your previous imports to improve their suggestions during future imports. The format in which we store this data has changed and running the importer for the first time sometimes seems to choke on the conversion from the old to the new format. If you're heavily dependent on this, you may have good reason to hold off for a while, though as said, the only way to know for sure is to try (on a copy of your book). Working on a copy will also allow you to revert back to another version if there are issues. Next gnucash also stores user's settings. We sometimes introduce new settings or otherwise modify settings between major releases. I am not aware of any issues in this area during the migration from 2.6.x to 3.x. Which is a good thing, because it's much harder to back up and restore these settings. Thirdly, gnucash also stores meta data in a platform dependent, user specific directory. The location if this directory changed between 2.6 and 3.x and your meta data will be migrated automatically the first time you run gnucash 3.x. After that the 2.6 version of your metadata will not be touched again. So if this goes wrong, you can safely revert to 2.6 and see all the state again as it was before you tried gnucash 3.x. That means which reports you had saved, which reports and tabs were open. Whatever you experiment with in 3.x it will not be carried back to 2.6. The only extra bit of advice I'd give here is: if you decide to revert back to 2.6.x, do remove the 3.x metadata directories. Otherwise the migration will not be rerun in the future when you really are ready to switch to 3.x. The relevant metadata directories are GNC_CONFIG_HOME and GNC_DATA_HOME as described on this wiki page: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations Lastly there can be issues in the interaction with gnucash, like it crashes or autocomplete is no longer working, issues with scrollbars, slow saves... While these can be annoying or problematic enough to make you switch back to 2.6, they generally don't affect any of your data directly. So based on these four areas, and the issues you may encounter in each you can evaluate whether or not it's worth for you to make the switch. I'm not pushing anyone, yet on the other hand I love to hear the experiences as that helps us identify which areas to focus on first.

Re: [GNC] Moving to Gnucash 3
Paul, No, but it's easy to up-or downgrade the installed version. You can just run the installer of the version you want and it will replace the one currently installed. The ability to install two versions side by side is something I am interested in setting up though.

Re: [GNC] Moving to Gnucash 3
David, You keep saying this. While I respect your choice to stay on the safe side, the only way to know if gnucash 3.x works for you is to test it. That's pretty easy in Windows. So I encourage you to run a few tests on a backup of your data file and evaluate how good or bad that works out. I'd love to hear your personal, first-hand experience instead of how you're currently expressing concerns based on what you've read. There are issues, but it's not like gnucash 3.x has suddenly become completely unusable.
