The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.10, the tenth
maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Please take the tour of all the
new features.
Changes
Between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug #627692 - Report options, Account Selection, "select all" => not all
accounts selected, only visible ones.
Bug #646129 - Account selection in reports: 'Select Children' doesn't
actually select children if they are collapsed.
Bug #662126 - Cannot create scheduled transaction for dividend reinvestment.
Bug #742321 - Reset temporary prefs on application startup.
Bug #745101 - No warning when quitting with unsaved file. When the file was
first created without the New File Assistant.
Bug #746155 - Reports: html-acct-table prepend-row! & prepend-col! unknown
variables Fixed following the suggestions by Tony Kerns.
Bug #754192 - Since Last Run Dialog asks for security price even if not
needed.
Bug #754533 - No Account Templates Error Patch.
Bug #755781 - Files with copyright but no grant of license.
Bug #756335 - When importing, date selection causes exit crash.
Bug #756339 - Prices table not updated.
Bug #756720 - configure fails to find libgoffice 0.10-10 (0.10.18-1) While
we can't support libgoffice 0.10 because that would require gtk3 we can improve
the error message if no libgoffice 0.8.x version is found.
Bug #757378 - Display the user-defined display symbol for non-currency
commodities.
Bug #759224 - illegal dates in stock transactions cause corrupt file.
Bug #759294 - New the billing term are not saved during invoice editing.
Prevent editing the terms from the invoice view.
Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
Revert the automatic inversion of prices whose value is less than 1.0. This
corrects several regressions from 2.6.8 and 2.6.9; it proved to be to big a
change for a maintenance branch and will re-appear in the next major release.
Fix test failure due to trying to parse nanoseconds, which we don't
actually use.
Use @SHELL@ instead of hardcode /bin/sh in test shell scripts. This is a
workaround for MacOS X 10.11's System Integrity Protection.
Improve the revert action: Ask user confirmation and don't ask to save
before reverting.
Have a more generic mechanism to set Save action's sensitivity and use it
for Revert action as well.
Avoid assert in gnc_split_register_balance_trans if default_account is null.
Performance improvements in the Cash Flow report.
Add new account chart for Duch small businesses.
Add some developer documentation.
New Translation: Portugal Portuguese
Translations Updated: Arabic, German.
Important update notification
If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to
remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work
properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in
your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.
Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change
your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.
