GnuCash 5.12 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.12, the thirteenth release in
the stable 5.x series.
Between 5.11 and 5.12, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 648768 - Warning "Change Reconciled Split" has wrong cursor
focus
Bug 797766 - Automatic decimal point doesn't work properly with zeros
when entering stocks.
Preserve the decimal point when printing numbers with no decimal places to
stop the auto-decimal code from triggering when exiting the field.
Bug 799490 - Error on start or opening a gnucash file: Can't parse the
URL
Bug 799506 - reconcile bad date pops to 1969
Bug 799521 - Segmentation fault on Autocomplete of Description with ?
Bug 799572 - Return proper status code when Finance::Quote errors during
price quote retrieval via CLI.
Bug 799580 - Swiss currency symbol is displayed as SFr. instead of CHF
Replace SFr. with Fr. as SFr. is obsolete but Fr. is still widely used. This
is the local symbol so users who want CHF can set it in the security editor.
Bug 799582 - Mortgage and Loan Assistant - Compounding Formula
Adds a semi-annual compounding period for Canadians and implements the more
correct simple-rate formula provided by a Canadian licensed accountant. Also
adds support for day-interval loan payments, ensures that the formula on the
repayment page reflects changes on that page, ensures that the number and
amounts of payments are correct when payments are more frequent than monthly,
use the correct intest rate for compunding calculations, and fixes some memory
issues.
Bug 799590 - Pressing enter after changing date on initial reconcile
information window does not change ending balance.
Bug 799592 - "No transactions found" when importing CSV
transactions
Bug 799593 - macOS: mariadb hardcodes plugin paths to original install
directory.
Bug 799594 - GnuCash 5.12 fails to build with boost 1.88
Bug 799597 - Crash when deleting all splits in General Journal
Bug 799602 - Unit Price on Invoice will NOT display as decimals
Bug 799603 - Does not save to mysql on localhost.
Bug 799623 - test-backend-dbi fails after 2038
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
[reports]Lazily generate sub-reports. Reports with links to detail
sub-reports like the budget reports would take a long time to generate because
they built both the main report and all of the sub-reports. Now the sub-reports
generate when the user clicks the link in the main report.
Security editor quote sources: Add new source, China Merchants Bank. Remove
no longer supported F::Q Modules Bloomberg.pm, DWSFunds, Investor's Exchange
(U.S.), Morningstar Australia, Skanddinaviska Enskilda Banken, Tiaacref.pm,
Troweprice.pm and many of the multi-source sources from the Security Editor.
[import-main-matcher.cpp] Add tooltips to transaction A, U+C, and C action
columns in the generic transaction import matcher.
[reports] Use ICU for Unicode string comparison and substring search because
it knows how to correctly localize comparisons of accented and unaccented
characters.
[reports] more robust error handling if target report doesn't exist.
Register: Ensure splits belong to transaction when doing bulk operations on
a transaction's splits.
Drop the definition of __EXTENSIONS__ from three files and instead move it
to compiler options if on a platform that needs it.
Avoid non-POSIX "echo -n" behavior in util/gnc-vcs-info.
Add testbuild target which builds tests without running them to accommodate
packaging processes that run ctest separately.
[engine.i] convert gnc_account_accumulate_at_dates to c++.
[gnc-engine-guile.cpp] helper gnc_split_to_scm function.
[gnc-engine-guile] reduce overhead of gnc_foo_to_scm by caching the result
of SWIG_TypeQuery(typestr)
[balance-forecast] optimise some loops: fewer temporary lists and gc
Let cmake probe for the existence of HAVE_STRUCT_TM_GMTOFF, fix build of
test-gnc-date on systems without HAVE_STRUCT_TM_GMTOFF, and avoid unused
variable warnings on systems without HAVE_STRUCT_TM_GMTOFF
Wrap include of gtest.h and gmock.h with a warning-silencing pragma. See
https://github.com/google/googletest/issues/4701 The warnings cause the Arch
Linux CI to fail because of -Werror.
Fixed GetInvoiceFromTxn to convert to the right type of Python object for a
GncInvoice.
[test-report-utilities] more tests for gnc:account-accumulate-at-dates
testing balances at date boundaries
