The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.3, the fourth release of the
3.x stable release series.
Changes
Between 3.2 and 3.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 771667 - Different warnings when changing reconciled splits vs.
splits linked to reconciled splits.
• Bug 784420 - "Save changes on closing" window waits 2^32 seconds when
"Time to wait for answer" is set 0.
• Bug 786708 - GnuCash won't load currency fractions larger than
1000000. Also create larger fractions for the account dialog.
• Bug 787439 - Segmentation Fault in Transfer dialog after clearing
Date field and pressing escape.
• Bug 789594 - Unable to overwrite sqlite3 database file.
• Bug 792446 - Mixed languages in error dialog.
• Bug 794526 - Python bindings can't find loadable modules.
• Bug 794755 - Commodity Register displays fractional prices.
Prices will now be displayed in decimal, rounded to two more places than the
currency's smallest unit.
• Bug 794870 - If no book is opened, gnucash still asks if the user
wants to save changes when opening a file.
• Bug 795821 - GnuCash could not obtain the lock for
file://C:\Users\username\Documents\GnuCash\2.6.21\xxxx\xxxx.gnucash
• Bug 796054 - Unposting and reposting invoice doubles amounts.
• Bug 796137 - query.search_for outputs critical qof.object errors and
prevents queries being run.
• Bug 796248 - Editing Scheduled Transaction.
In addition to not begining to edit already-loaded transactions, don't try to
load splits that are already loaded. It shouldn't be possible to load a
transaction without also loading its splits.
• Bug 796474 - Segmentation fault while setting up online banking.
Allow only a single instance of the assistant.
• Bug 796509 - Saved reports don't respect *some* 'Edit report options'.
• Bug 796579 - Cannot go forward with empty duplicates screen.
• Bug 796665 - Backspace Key Inoperable After Ctrl+V.
• Bug 796669 - Dark Theme Text Colors Hard to Read.
Only add the register-foreground class when using Gnucash built in colours.
When this setting not used, the foreground colour by default will be what ever
the theme has set and will be down to the user to over ride along with the
other register colours.
• Bug 796724 - Can't overwrite gnucash DB on MariaDB.
• Bug 796725 - 4 of 6 Date Posted options fail to return matching
transactions.
• Bug 796734 - Auto-complete entry not highlighting to allow for
incremental entry.
• Bug 796737 - Patch to restore gncmod-python.c.
• Bug 796739 - Toolbar buttons have no labels.
• Bug 796751 - reconcile window usability - R column should be next to
Amount.
• Bug 796755 - buggy window handling at startup.
• Bug 796756 - OFX import fails to recognize associated income accounts.
• Bug 796759 - --add-price-quotes leaves a lock on the file.
• Bug 796762 - Scrollbar partially hides the delete button in the Saved
Report Configurations window.
The vertical scrollbar obscures the delete button in the tree view so add a
dummy blank column to the end and set it to the width of the vertical scrollbar.
• Bug 796766 - Credit note creating 'imbalance' with wrong entries.
• Bug 796777 - CVE-2008-1391: Integer overflow in included strfmon
function.
• Bug 796788 - Strange behaviour in options of multicolumn report.
• Bug 796792 - SaveAs Overwrite dialogue in background and not visible.
• Bug 796812 - gnc_date_cell_get_date and gnc_date_cell_get_date_gdate
have different date validation behaviour.
• Bug 796813 - Date validation inconsistent.
• Bug 796814 - Changing a book's read-only threshold doesn't
immediately affect open registers.
• Bug 796816 - Notes field in Duplicate Invoice dialogue is 'read-only'.
• Bug 796819 - Bad icon with Spanish localization.
Drop translations of the 'gnucash-icon' string from our po files and add a note
for translators to not translate this string or use the literal 'gnucash-icon'
as translation.
• Bug 796820 - References to 'Gnome Bugzilla' should be changed to
'GnuCash Bugzilla'.
• Bug 796833 - Excel csv Format misprocessed.
Convert all line ending styles to the one expected by the C++ standard library
before starting to parse a csv file.
• Bug 796839 - Find transaction won't filter on Date Posted.
• Bug 796858 - TypeError: in method 'qof_query_int32_predicate',
argument 2 of type 'gint32' on gnucash.gnucash_core.QueryInt32Predicate.
The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:
• Set toolbar buttons to show both icon and text.
And make the icon small to recover some vertical screen estate. The motivation
for this is that Gtk has dropped the ability for users to change a toolbar's
appearance. And as our icons are often less than descriptive many users benefit
from having textual descriptions as well. This is the best compromise we can
make until the gui gets an in-depth redesign.
• Add preference for forcing prices to decimal display.
Anticipating that some users might prefer to see exact prices, add a preference
to General>Numbers to configure whether prices are rounded to decimals or are
displayed as exact fractions.
• Revert the "Average Cost" pricing changes made in 2.6.17.
These changes broke trial balances in many books.
• Allow saving to xml over an existing sqlite3 file and the other way
around.
• Add customer/vendor ID in client section of invoices.
Partly fixes bugs 430259 and 742086; full fixes would require
not-backward-compatible data model changes.
• Change the default filter for General Ledger.
The General Ledger default for the number of days shown is 30 but for the
Register it is 0, meaning show all. So change the default filter based on
ledger type and use this when determining if the setting should be saved or
removed.
• Fix gtk accelerator mixups by explicitly disabling actions that are
not relevant.
For example, File->Print and its variants for various page types all use the
same '<primar>p' as global accelerator. It was possible to have gnucash invoke
the 'Print Report...' action instead of the 'Print Invoice...' action when
hitting <primary>p on an invoice page. If no report page was open at this
point, gnucash would crash. If a report was open, gnucash would invoke the
print action on that report instead of opening an invoice report for the
invoice.
• [job-report] Prevent Crash if there is no AR account
• Add the ability to cascade account colours in account tree.
The colour on an account that has sub-accounts can be applied to its
sub-accounts; by default only those sub-accounts that don't have a colour set
are affected, but there's a preference to override that.
• Speed up loading the preference dialog by blocking register updates
until the dialog is fully loaded.
• Update change_tax_code.py, add basic test for python query.
• Simplify GNCQueryView's data model: It was managing a number of
redudant parameters which were leaking memory all over the place. The
information that was tracked could easily be extracted from the underlying
GtkTreeView, GtkTreeModel or GtkTreeSelection when needed.
• Open customer/vendor/employee report when double-clicking an the
respective owner the cust/vend/empl overview page.
• Update Overview of README based on
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-September/042748.html
• Many new tests for reports.
• Some substantial speedups when loading large amounts of business
transactions from a SQL backend.
• Clean up a lot of memory leaks.
• Remove all use of Timespec in the program. Provide deprecated wrapper
functions supporting timespecs for custom reports; users should update the
reports as soonas possible.
