I've written a fairly extensive change to manage database version changes, and I'd like to add unit tests for the new functions before I commit it. Longer-term, of course, I'd like to have full unit test coverage of the non-gui parts of Gnucash before we start on the major surgery we've been dis

I don't think that the actual information on Advanced Portfolio are useful to take a decision on the investments because there is no information considering the duration of the investments. And for me this is the main missing feature in gnucash compared

Yes, you are right, IRR can be misinterpreted because it assumes reinvestments with the same return rate, but this is anyway widely used and is present on other products. NPV can be easily added starting from my code (we just need to add an option to take the rate to calculate NPV, and add the col

At least as I understand it, branches in git are nothing more than a pointer to the "head" commit and, structurally, are pretty much the same (if not identical) to tags. A branch in git is a tag on point in development that is moved to other commits if you commit "to" that branch. In simpler wo

In my opinion, it is great that Scheme and Guile are on the way out. I would suggest though, that something more than how few lines of code are needed go into the determination of the language for the UI. Otherwise, APL is going to win hands down. Even the presence of bindings doesn't sway me
