The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.1, the second release in the
stable 5.x series
Between 5.0 and 5.1, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 765920 - Running balance not accurate when sorted different ways
* Renamed option to "Account Balance" to avoid confusion with
running total.
* Added helper function to ensure running balance and balance forward are
only shown when transaction are
grouped by account and sorted as in register. In that case column
heading remains "Running Balance" and
balance forward is shown. Otherwwise column heading is renamed
"Account Balance" and balance forward is
not shown.
( Also added missing code for Common Currency conversion.

amount column for SAME

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
Add filters to the File>Open dialog in File mode to show only files with
GnuCash extensions, only those
matching GnuCash's backup file pattern, or any extension.
Select the first result in the Customer/Vendor search box. This allows
faster keyboard navigation -- Find
Customer, input search string, press ENTER, use up/down to select desired
object, press ENTER to open
object.
Improve foreign currency handling in budget report
Improve handling of the blank transaction when the register is sorted in
reverse:
* Change the preference option 'Future transactions after blank
transaction'
* Change tooltip for 'Blank Transaction' in register to mention
moving to the blank transaction.
* Show the blank transaction at top of register
Prevent infinite recursion from gnucash_item_edit_focus_out when using an
input method.
Create obsolete features list with first member book_currency.Obsolete
features set in the book will be removed
from the book's KVP and ignored.
Restore existence, but not implementation, of GNC_FEATURE_BOOK_CURRENCY.
At least one user has managed to get it set on their book so even though
it was supposed to be unimplemented
it got through somehow. Restoring it allows books with it set to load.
Offer to force edit non-identical fields when multiple matches are selected
in the import matcher window.
Previously only identical Desc/Notes/Memo were unlocked for editing.
Guard against there being no namespaces in the new security dialog
Fix Finance::Quote use on Win32 by dealing with Win32 \r\n newlines on
return from finance-quote-wrapper.
Fix some menu labels that were not marked for translation
Fix category in CSV export with simple layout.
If Trading accounts is enabled, and the transaction is a transfer between
two accounts of differing
commodities, the CSV simple-layout export would incorrectly show
"--Split Transaction--" as the category.
When configuring Guile use pkg-config before searching for binaries.
