The GnuCash team is pleased to announce the release of the second beta
version 1.7.4: "The water of life".
What's New in GnuCash 1.7.4?
- Scheduled Transactions:
GnuCash now has the ability to automatically create and enter
transactions, remind when a transaction is due, give a choice of
entering a transaction or postponing it and remove an automated
transaction after a certain period.
- Mortgage & Loan Repayment Druid:
Used to setup a variable payment loan scheduled transaction.
- Small Business Accounting Features:
GnuCash now can be used for Customer and Vendor tracking, Invoicing
and Bill Payment, and using different Tax and Billing Terms in a small
business.
- OFX Import:
GnuCash is the first free software application to support the Open
Financial Exchange protocol that many banks and financial services are
moving to use. The development of OFX and HBCI
support has also resulted in an improved transaction matching system
that more accurately picks duplicate transactions.
- HBCI Support:
GnuCash is the first free software application to support the German
Home Banking Computer Information protocol which includes statement
download, initiate bank transfers and direct debits.
- New User Manual and Help:
A brand new user help has been written which focuses on how to do
tasks in conjunction with a Tutorial and Concepts guide that gives the
user background information on using GnuCash.
- New Multi-Currency Transaction Handling:
GnuCash no longer requires separate currency exchange accounts to
handle multiple currency transfers.
- Redesigned Menu's
The GnuCash menu's have been redesigned to conform more with the new
GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
Specifically updated in this version;
o Second beta release
o Problems with importing 1.6 data files fixed
o Updates to generic transaction matching
o More postgres backend fixes
o New progress bar when making reports
o Payment schedule review page added to loan druid
o Fixes to multi-currency support
o Added Brazilian Portugese account templates by Lucimar Moresco
o Added doxygen documentation support, and integrated it into the
build system. There is a new target, make doc, that can
be used to build the documentation if you have doxygen
installed.
o Catch the condition gracefully when OpenHBCI config file does
not exist.
o Compute the implicit exchange rates for ALL transactions when
necessary. No longer requires the pricedb for printing split
values. This will display all transactions in the currency of the
current account, regardless of the number of splits in
the transaction.
o First pass at getting multi-currency transactions to work from
the register.
o Lots more bugfixes
Available at the usual places!
