Title: GnuCash 2.7+ Breaking Change Author: Aaron W. Swenson <titanof...@gentoo.org> Posted: 2018-01-11 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: <app-office/gnucash-4 Along with changes to use modern libraries, GnuCash 2.7+ has changed the schema [1] it uses for both databases and files. GnuCash will automatically modify the file or database in place upon open. Therefore, it is imperative that you back up any files or databases before using GnuCash 2.7 in case you run into an issue and want or need to revert back to 2.6. Instructions for backing up are as follows: For XML (plain files): $ cp /path/to/file.gnucash /path/to/file.gnucash.bak For MySQL: $ mysqldump gnucash_db | mysql gnucash_db_bak For PostgreSQL: $ createdb -U dbadmin -T gnucash_db -O gnucash_user gnucash_db_bak For SQLite: $ cp /path/to/gnucash/sqlite.file.gnucash /path/to/gnucash/sqlite.file.gnucash.bak [1] https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/tag/2.7.0a
