I'm sure you like to get feedback from someone with absolutely no problems at all.

I was using 2.6.21 on my primary computer and testing 3.1/3.2 on my standby testbed (both on Win 10.1803).  I finally decided to take the plunge and upgraded my primary computer form 2.6.21 to 3.2.  The experience was flawless and now my testbed pc is eagerly awaiting vs 4.0.

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.2, the second release of the 
3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.0 and 3.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

        • Bug 787401 - Test Report System - Report Definition.
        • Bug 794617 - Can't compile with -DWITH_GNUCASH=NO due to 
scm-gnome-utils.
        • Bug 795101 - Scroll Bar in Reconcile Window Floats in and covers the 
check boxes.
        • Bug 795247 - datepicker broken in Persian. GnuCash passes dates as 
integer y/m/d without using locale-specific formats, so we need to strip out 
'E' and 'O' from the format when scanning dates or determining separators in 
gnc-date. None of '-', 'E', or 'O' are supported by boost (and '-' causes 
errors), so strip them out from formatters in gnc-datetime as well.
        • Bug 795253 - Have problems input Chinese.
        • Bug 795272 - QIF importer causes application crash if action is 
invalid.
        • Bug 795276 - Invalid date on price stops file from being parsed.
        • Bug 795362 - Special variable "i" not parsed in function calls. Due 
to balance tests with insane random values.
        • Bug 795471 - Impossible to Edit Budget Unless Maximized.
        • Bug 795519 - Credit card payment after reconciliation.
        • Bug 795666 - Backslash '\' in Description field spoils CSV Import 
without helpful error message.
        • Bug 795831 - When read only threshold set, dates are silently 
changed. Display a message box informing the user of the change.
        • Bug 795944 - Cannot store change to Business Suppliers data.
        • Bug 796079 - Repeatable Crash in Tax Report Options.
        • Bug 796081 - Tax Schedule Report - An error occurred while running 
the report.
        • Bug 796083 - Reconcile Selection Doesn't Work Anymore.
        • Bug 796117 - Connecting 3.1 to an existing mysql db drops all data. 
Provide a backup recovery function that instead of dropping primaries and 
restoring backups merges the primaries and backups. This should handle a 
worst-case safe-save failure where the backup tables don't have a complete set 
of rows for some reason.
        • Bug 796256 - Main Window stays hidden when starting after closing 
main window while minimized.
        • Bug 796369 - Notes lost or perhaps just not displaying when using 
SQLite backend. This bug caused data loss if you saved your SQLite3 database to 
a different file or database. The problem is that in SQLite3 (though not in 
MySQL or PgSQL) the subquery ((SELECT DISTINCT guid FROM transactions)) (note 
the double parentheses) returns only the first guid in the subquery's results. 
Some transactions are loaded by special queries and those queries are also used 
to retrieve the transaction's slots so they weren't affected.
        • Bug 796398 - Restrict accelerator keys to valid date range.
        • Bug 796409 - Incorrect Current Value for Stocks. Missed calculating 
the value in the register summary bar.
        • Bug 796423 - Cannot Input Chinese, seems does not work with other IME 
too. Toggles not in view with all rows selected weren't being redrawn.
        • Bug 796484 - csv import: iostream error. Unfortunately it turns out 
that we can't use filestreams because they can't take path arguments containing 
Unicode on Windows.
        • Bug 796527 - invalid currency on scheduled transactions.
                • Don't even check for price/exchange rate on template 
transactions, there's no point.
                • Check all split commodities are valid, abort transaction 
creation if not.
                • If the template transaction's currency isn't used by any of 
the splits set the new transaction's currency to the first-found currency if 
there is one, otherwise to the first-found commodity.
        • Bug 796537 - Transaction Report cannot sort by "num".
        • Bug 796586 - QIF import incorrectly converts unicode characters from 
UTF8 encoded file.
        • Bug 796595 - QIF Import Select Account button to add a new account is 
labled gnc-account-new but should be New.
        • Bug 796600 - stock split cash-in-lieu income/asset labels backwards.
        • Bug 796614 - Reconciliation report contains incorrect transactions.
        • Bug 796638 - configuration not properly saved for CSV transactions 
import form.
The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:

        • Transaction report improvements:
                • Performance: Do all filtering ops before sorting.
                • Move the options summary before the subtotals table.
                • New unit tests
                • Enable computing averages in subtotal grid.
                • Generate the subtotal grid only if the primary sort key 
enables subtotals.
                • Fix subtotal grid to support multiple commodities.
                • New filters.
                • Much cleaning and refactoring of the internals.
        • Cache the num-split-action book option to avoid thousands of KVP 
queries for the same value when loading a register.
        • Create a static string for book option KVPs to save an extra 
malloc/free on old compilers without small-string optimization.
        • Add tooltip support for register cells.
        • New unit tests for the balance sheet report and invoices.
        • Consolidate charting code into a single module.
        • Removed an incomplete and abandoned C implementation of QIF import.
        • Restored libsecret support that had been left out of CMake.
        • Replace old-style html style attributes with css.
        • Modify emitted html to be parseable by the Guile SXML module for 
testing.
        • Remove support for long-gone gtkhtml renderer.
        • Clean up code generating html tables.
        • Ensure full precision of doubles is saved to SQL. std::iostream's 
operator<<(double) uses only 6 digits of precision by default.
        • Make float database operations more consistent, working around 
dbd-sqlite3's failure to support doubles (dbd-sqlite3, not sqlite3 itself).
        • Prevent crash in gnc-tree-view.c: When getting information from the 
state file, protect against the key not having a '_' which is used to split the 
string.
        • Add the full account name to the saved register settings If you need 
to delete the layout for a register in the settings file, the only thing 
identifying it is the account guid. To make it easier for humans, add the full 
account name also.
        • When register pages are restored it uses the full account name. When 
register pages are restored, the account is found from the full name so if the 
separator changes it will fail. Instead, also save the account guid and use 
that as default to find the account falling back to the full name.
        • Fix misplaced try block that caused unhandled exception if year out 
of range.
        • Fix permanent storage of vendor details: Since the data types did not 
match for the billterms and taxtable, those references/guids were not saved to 
the database.
        • Update invoice reports to use totals calculate by gncInvoice. This 
should give a consistent representation of invoice data across the application.
        • Ensure gncEntry rounding is consistent. Internally calculated values 
in the entry are never rounded. Consumers of gncEntry's calculated values can 
request them either rounded or not. Next use a pragmatical approach for 
calculating values on invoices based on the entry values: do the rounding such 
that we never create an unbalanced transaction while posting. That means:
                • round each entry's net value before summing them in net total
                • accumulate all tax totals on invoice level per tax account 
before rounding
and round before before summing them in a global tax total Hopefully this will 
catch a few more rounding issues in this area. A complete solution can only 
offered if we allow users to manually correct tax entries. This requires 
changes to user interface and data format so that's not going to happen in 
gnucash 3.x.
        • Use Scheme SRFI-64 test framework for new Scheme unit tests.
        • New compilers (gcc-8.0 and Xcode 9) bring new warnings, so several 
fixups to mollify them.
        • Lowercase all cmake commands for better readability.
        • Metadate migration (2.6.x->3.x) fixes for Windows.
        • Ensure timezone is set correctly in FreeBSD.

transactions.
