The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.11, the eleventh release in the
stable 5.x series.
Between 5.10 and 5.11, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
? Bug 797824 - Inconsistent behavior in Loan Review
? Bug 798946 - start/end of current/last quarter have off-by-one error

lock on the origin SQL book.
? Bug 799465 - Register Filter Today radio buttons don't work correctly
? Bug 799480 - Fails to build with ICU 76

? Bug 799501 - Gnucash grashes on startup ice-9/read.scm error
? Bug 799502 - Autocomplete of split only completes description
? Bug 799514 - Pie chart hovering shows wrong information in pop-up
? Bug 799528 - Crash on account deletion (edit)
? Bug 799533 - Saved reports configurations are opening with?
? Bug 799562 - Import Map Editor Non-Bayesian crashes gnucash
? Bug 799564 - Decimal point confusions when getting stock quotes from aex
? Bug 799565 - Reconcile date default doesn't update to reflect previous
reconciliation.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
? Adjust quarter begin and end dates to align with Accounting Period (Fiscal
Year) start and end dates when the latter are not the first/last of the month.
? Update Form/Schedule line references for 2024 for the US Income Tax Report
? Better handling of complex Jump to other split operations:
? Expand multi-split transactions in the destination register after a
jump and select the destination split.
? Emit a warning when a Jump to other split operation can't be
performed instead of doing nothing.
? When there are multiple splits but only one other account Jump will
jump to the transaction in that other account's register regardless of what
split is selected in the original register.
? Do nothing when the user attempts to jump to another split in the
current register's account.
? Add a new Register preference "Jump action for multiple
splits"
Make the behaviour when the "Jump" operation encounters a transaction
with more than two splits configurable. This can be configured as:
? Do nothing (this is the default)
? Use the split with the largest value
? Use the split with the smallest value
This makes it much easier to jump between accounts for stock transactions that
include splits for fees and taxes, or dividend transactions that have a zero
value split for the stock account.
? Allow more account types in the payment window's transfer account list
So far it was limited to Asset, Liability, Credit Card and either Income (for
customer payments) or Expenses (for vendor payments). There are however use
cases where a customer payment also covers expenses (like for example a Paypal
service charge). To allow for as many edge cases as possible the filter now only
excludes those account types I worry will break the business logic: AP and AR
accounts. That is, with this change you won't be able to create a customer
payment (which necessarily has one split an an AR account) that transfers to
another AR or to an AP account. While even that may work, I am sure the business
features weren't designed to cope with this and I can't exhaustively
test that.
? Support for enums as GtkRadioButton preferences
The "=" in the widget name will separate the pref name from the enum
string value that is used when the radio button is activated. When the radio
button is deactivated, its preference update is ignored because another button
must have been made active.
? Allow warning dialogs to be the dismiss-only variant
All existing dialogs are either QUESTION or WARNING. Allow INFO, ERROR and OTHER
to remember being dismissed without asking a question.
? Improve GncNumeric(std::string) to handle unicode spaces and thousands
separators.
? Add function to GncQueryView to expand column
Add function gnc_query_set_expand_column to GncQueryView so that the expand
column can be specified that takes up any available free space. Use this
function in the Due Bills/Invoice Reminder to to set the expanding column to the
company name.
? [Account.hpp] New function gnc_account_get_all_parents returns reversed
path vector
? Fix python bindings built with Swig-4.3.0.
