? Bug 797566 - Crash on use of context menu in importer
? Bug 797569 - Swedish account templates not accessible
? Bug 797570 - Unable to import vendors.
In the import of Customer/Vendor or Bill/Invoice, the dialog that lists rows
that were not imported shows a scrollable view of only four rows.
? Bug 797572 - Customer Report (beta): "Period Totals" includes total
debit and credits outside the current period
Previously Credits was rendered before Debits. Change to formal accounting
convention. Can swap to informal headers if set by global preference.

? Bug 797631 - Superfluous account selection dialog on first online retrieval
The online id, which is needed to find a GnuCash account for a transaction or
the balance retrieved from an online account, is already assigned to each
matched GnuCash account within the Online Banking Setup tool. The online id is
removed from the GnuCash account if it is no longer matched with an AqBanking
account.
? Bug 797636 - Incorrect Online account matches cannot be deleted
A push button with text "Delete selected matches" is added to the
"Match Online accounts with GnuCash accounts" page of the "Online
Banking Setup" tool. Additionally, the underlying tree view is set to
multiple selection mode from single selection mode. Pushing the button will
remove the matched GnuCash account from all selected AqBanking (Online)
accounts.
? Bug 797638 - SIGSEGV editing transaction after closing Find Accounts dialog.
? Bug 797640 - The Reconciliation Window starting balance calculator needs to
ignore splits after statement date
? Bug 797648 - Cannot reconcile both splits of a transaction with 2 splits for
bank account subaccounts if only 1 is cleared
Force all splits in a transaction for the account being reconciled (and its
children), to have the same reconciliation status. This fixes a problem when the
splits have different statuses.
? Bug 797656 - Immediate crash when retrieving quotes
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
? [report-utilities] fix gnc:account-accumulate-at-dates sorting & operator
This commit performs 2 important fixes:
? The account splitlist walking assumes that the split->date always
increases. This is now enforced by sorting the splitlist, *only* if a custom
split->date is offered. By default the splits are sorted by posted_date, and
if a custom split->date is used, will be stable-sorted to ensure the
algorithm works.
? The handling of splits *ON* date boundaries is fixed. Previously if a
split->date was equal to a date boundary, it would be considered part of the
"after" date section. It is more intuitive that a date boundary
includes all splits on and before the date.
? When selecting a file for OFX import, restrict the files listed to .OFX (or
.QFX)
? Fix crash when changing account-separator.
? Change the default focus to search entry for 'Find Account'
Fix rounding precision when importing prices from CSV
? [trep-engine] subtotals when cells have monetary only
Instead of accumulating subtotals from any non-#f value, ensure value is a
gnc-monetary before accumulating subtotals. This paves the way to allow
non-monetary in RHS custom-calculated-cells.
? Travis - don't try to copy the removed after-failure file to the test
container
? Travis - use ctest built-in feature to verbosely log test failures
? Fix tokenize_string()to prevent empty strings as Bayes account-matching
tokens and remove duplicated tokens.
? Fix calculation of Bayes account-matching token info to find exactly matching
tokens only.
? Clear online banking KVP from accounts no longer associated with an online
one
? Account template improvements for Swiss-German KMU and Germany SKR04.
? Appdata file allows packagers to include distribution release information.
? Ensure that new budgets are saved instead of saving only the state
information.
? Update US Income Tax information for 2019.
? Correct double-counting of accounts in some cases in US Income Tax Report.
? Housekeeping - reduce the number of PACKAGE and VERSION related cmake
variables
? Restrict gnucash.pot comment collection to ones beginning with
"Translators".
At the recommendation of the Translation Project coordinator.
? [html-table][API] html-table can have multirow-col-headers
? NEW API: gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and
gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! gnc:html-table col-headers have been
augmented to support list of <th> rows.
? BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY is offered. Old use of single-row headers API
gnc:html-table-col-headers and gnc:html-table-set-col-headers! should be
unchanged; will get/set a single row of <th> elements.
? NEW functions gnc:html-table-multirow-col-headers and
gnc:html-table-set-multirow-col-headers! will get/set an arbitrary number of
rows of <th> elements.
? using old API gnc:html-table-col-headers on a table, whose multiple row
headers have been set, will lead to a warning and return the first row only.
We have revised translations for Croatian, German, Polsih, and Ukrainian

3.10, Guile 2.0, Boost 1.54, WebKitGtk 2.4, and GoogleTest 1.7.0. In addition
you will need SWIG 2.0.10 if compiling from git. Please consult the
README.dependencies file in the sources for the exact list of dependencies and
versions.
