I thought capital gains calculations were possible with the new
release? Or is that going to be in the release after 1.8.10?
Thanks,

DRAFT
This is a proposed draft for the release announcement of the
(hopefully) upcoming 1.8.10 release. I thought it might make life
easier for wilddev if I already summarize some points from the
ChangeLog. I thought the release announcement should probably be
rather short to read, but since the gnome2 question will immediately
be asked, we should answer this FAQ right up front.
Also, the HBCI online banking library change is quite a big issue for
the people involved, so I would like to have this pointed out already
in the announcement.
Here's what we might send out as release announcement:

The GnuCash development team proudly announces a new stable release of
the GnuCash Open Source Accounting Software.
FAQ: "Is this a gnome2 application?" A: "No." This release still
belongs to GnuCash's 1.8.x series which is not yet ported to
gtk2/gnome2. Read more below.
New features in 1.8.10:
- HBCI online banking improved and ported to the new library
AqBanking. Those who are using HBCI online banking need to perform
some extra steps when upgrading, see
http://gnomesupport.org/wiki/index.php/GnuCash (or in German:
http://www.linuxwiki.de/GnuCash )
- OFX import improved and based on the new libofx version 0.7, which
gives Microsoft OFC support among other things
- Added saving and restoring of customized reports
Improvements and bugs fixed:
- Updated Brazilian Portugese, British English, Czech, Dutch, French,
German, Italian, Russian translations
- HTML export of transaction report improved
- Reports and accounts with zero balance work nicer
- Problems with libltdl3 resolved
- Improved performance when opening large register windows
- Checque printing for Quicken cheques added
- Fixes for the x64_64 platform
- Fixes for the new g-wrap 1.9
- C99/C89 compatibility problems resolved
FAQ: "Is this a gnome2 application?" A: "No." This release still
belongs to GnuCash's 1.8.x series which is not yet ported to
gtk2/gnome2. In other words, this release is still based on
gtk1.2/gnome1. The developers are working on a gtk2/gnome2 version of
GnuCash, but it still takes a lot of time. See
http://gnomesupport.org/wiki/index.php/GnuCashPortingStatus for the
status of the Gtk2 port. GnuCash makes use of several custom widgets
as well as the Guppi graphing library. To port to gtk2 involves
rewriting those widgets (e.g. the ledger, or the account hierarchy
which uses GtkCTree) into the appropriate GTK2 widgets and would
require the changing of the graphing code to probably use Jody's new
gnome-office-graph code in Gnumeric (Guppi was never ported to gtk2
and is a dead project). But given that the GnuCash team is extremely
short on programmers, the process has to exist in parallel to existing
product improvements, resulting in a very gradual porting process. If
you can code C, by all means, volunteer your time, see
