ANNOUNCE:Release of GnuCash 1.7.2 alpha: "Antipodean Nightmare"
The GnuCash team is pleased to announce the release of the second alpha version 1.7.2: "Antipodean Nightmare". This release is the result of the development team working so hard the GnuCash developers topped the GNOME Summary commits list last week. Highlights of this release are: o you can now search by reconcile flag for transactions o ability to set posted invoices and payments read-only in the small business module. o New commodity matcher for OFX generic import. o latest libofx is needed for OFX support o Investment transactions now create two accounts, one is for the stock, the other is the account defined by the FI, where the cash is swapped. o Updated glossary o HBCI improvements to transaction retrieval o Add Direct Debit HBCI action and add caching of the PIN to user preferences. o HBCI suport requires OpenHBCI 0.9.3 or current OpenHBCI CVS o loads of bugfixes, keep those bugs coming! o NOTE: Report bugs to bugzilla.gnome.org This release features HBCI online banking support. This makes it the world's first *free* HBCI-enabled personal finance manager. HBCI (Home Banking Computer Interface) is a standard used by German banks for offering online banking service. Through this standard, business actions like statement retrieval, bank transfer, or direct debits can be invoked by any HBCI-compliant client application, i.e. now also from GnuCash. Authentification and encryption is done through a bank-issued chip card or a self-generated file-based RSA key pair. (In the latter case, the user prints out his public key finger print on paper, signs it, and sends it to his bank.)
