The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.9, the tenth release in the
stable 5.x series.
Between 5.8 and 5.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
? Bug 724745 - Added new transaction during reconcile, didn't show up in
reconcile window.
? Bug 797045 - Improve error reporting for bad credentials with MySQL backend
("bad or corrupt data" => "access denied")
? Bug 798568 - Transaction Copy/Paste problem
? Bug 799308 - sqlite backend: Example Python script prints error when creating
new file.
? Bug 799370 - Transaction Journal view cursor placement after commit to
transaction change.
? Bug 799384 - Reconciled date cannot be parsed.
? Bug 799389 - Crash when removing an account
? Bug 799391 - Transaction Cut/Paste doesn't move the transaction to the
target account
? Bug 799395 - relative date offset quarters occasionally wrong
? Bug 799399 - Windows Keypad decimal locale error
? Bug 799416 - Post invoice: post to account dropdown listbox too small
? Bug 799419 - Intermittent quote price issue
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
? Add YH Finance (FINANCEAPI) API Key to Quotes infrastructure with a
preference in the Online Quotes page and add financeapi to known sources.
? Move copied_class and copied_leader_guid
Move static copied_class and static copied_leader_guid to be part of the
copied_item structure. This makes it more evident that calling clear_copied_item
needs to be called before copied_item is used.
? [gnc-datetime] improve CSV date parser with ICU and Boost.
? Add dateformat "Locale" with ICU; uses current locale for date
parsing. ICU's locale date parser may parse "3 May 2023" or
"2024?9?13?" (LC_TIME=zh_TW.utf8) and maybe others.
? Augment d-m-y m-d-y and y-m-d with boost UK/US/ISO parsers. This allows CSV
import of dates with months as words as "30 Sep 2023" or "May 4,
1978" or "2023-Dec-25". Note boost parser cannot recognise
2-digit years, therefore "30 Sep 24" is invalid.
? Csv Import - improve assisant's introduction page
? Correctly handle uncommitted edits when opening a file from history.
? Don't use gnc_difftime and deprecate it because it casts time64 to
doubles
? [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_substitute_commodity
? [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_lookup_at_time64

German AQBanking Users:
The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code finalized
so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the last
stable version, 6.5.4. The GnuCash nightly builds have beta releases with the
new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable AQBanking
doesn't work for you.
