GnuCash 2.4.9 on Windows: errata

After GnuCash 2.4.9 was released a number of issues were discovered with GnuCash on Windows:

• Due to a bug in the installer package, GnuCash 2.4.9 will fail to start if you installed it over an existing previous installation. The solution is simple: uninstall GnuCash before you install GnuCash 2.4.9.
  If you already installed GnuCash 2.4.9 and are experiencing this problem, the same solution works equally: uninstall GnuCash and install it again. Your data will not be affected by this.
• Copy/Paste is not working in the account registers. Until now, no workaround exists yet. If you depend heavily on copy/paste you may consider staying with GnuCash 2.4.8 for now.

We are currently working to solve these problems and will release a fixed version as soon as possible. You can find more details on the copy/paste bug and track its progress on this bug report.

GnuCash 2.4.9 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.9, the eighth bug fix release in a series of stable of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software. With this release series, GnuCash can use an SQL database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX.

Getting GnuCash for Windows (Win32 binary)

The Gnucash 2.4.9 Win32 setup executable can be downloaded from Sourceforge. It will install everything needed to run GnuCash.

Mac OSX binary

The Gnucash 2.4.9 MacOSX package can be downloaded from Sourceforge as well.

Getting GnuCash as source code

If you want to compile GnuCash 2.4.9 for yourself, the source code can be downloaded from:

• Sourceforge: bzip2, gzip, all files.

To compile GnuCash from the source code by yourself, you will need Gnome 2, guile, slib. In addition you will need swig if compiling from subversion.

Changes

The headline change is for Microsoft Windows(TM) users: The underlying versions of Gtk+, Guile, and AQBanking (along with some dependencies) have been updated so that a separate GUI library (Qt) is no longer needed for AQBanking and those users can finally have the features of AQBanking5 which have been available to Linux and Mac users since 2.4.0.

Between 2.4.8 and 2.4.9, the following bugfixes were included:

• Bug #666329 Empty database after a little while Separate the two uses of QofBook::dirty -- indicating that the book object itself has been edited and indicating that some object in the dataset has been changed -- into two separate variables with separate getters & setters. Use gnc_dbi_safe_sync_all (which doesn't lose data if the save partion errors out) for all be->sync. Reverse qof_book_mark_saved and qof_instance_mark_clean so that the book is dirty for qof_book_mark_saved when it's the instance. Original commit by jralls
• Bug #667105: Fix grammatical error in some accounts file.
• Bug #667276 : Fiix Korean accounts files. Patch submitted by Eulgyoon Lim.
• Bug #457401 - Print invoice should not be disabled for unposted invoices. Enable printing for unposted invoices.
• Add a "features" table to the KVP frame, and pop up an error message if we find a feature we don't know about. Currently there are no known features, so essentially we will error out if we see anything.
• Bug #665998 Replace no-op function force_account_dirty with qof_book_mark_dirty.
• Bug #658247 - First time setup should prompt to save file. Fix supplied by Bob referenced in bug #665996.
• Bug #642276 Bayesian association with Sqlite Wraps the kvp_frame_set_slot_path with xaccAccountBeginEdit()/xaccAccountCommitEdit(). Also clean up some other cases where KVP was set without committing an edit.
• Fix table number alignment.
• Fix number alignment in table.
• Bug #649362 - Transfer Funds Window Exchange Rate and Decimal Points Rounding in Bill/Invoices This patch fixes the rounding by showing the actual value to convert. As a result the exchange rate direction had to be swapped as well to avoid lots of confusion.
• Abort posting if not all required exchange rates are given. Note that any exchange rate successfully entered before the posting is aborted are still saved with the invoice.
• Bug #665202 - Improve python-finding code. Patch by Pacho Ramos
• Bug #661383 - GnuCash segfault on Linux (Fedora 16 beta) because of shared library load / unload weirdness
• Fix right align for number cells in table.

Scheduled GnuCash Server Downtime

The GnuCash "everything" server will be unavailable Thursday, October 20, 2011, in order to move the hardware to a new location. The shutdown will start around 3pm US/EST (1900 UTC) on Oct 20 and will hopefully last only 3 hours while the machines get moved to their new location. It may last longer in the event that the network move does not happen on schedule.

This outage will affect all GnuCash services except for www.gnucash.org. Affected services include Email, Email Archives, Subversion, Wiki, Trac, GNCbot, IRC Logs, and all Build Services run on lists, code, and svn.gnucash.org.

Please stay tuned to this location for further updates.

Gnucash MacOS X Packages Updated for Lion Compatibility

New downloadable disk images (DMGs) are available for Mac users of Gnucash; follow the link at the top of the page or the Downloads page to get them.

No changes to Gnucash itself are in the new images; rather, a new build of Gtk+ provides compatibility with OS X Versions 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and 10.7 (Lion), as well as several bugfixes and stability improvements. We recommend this update for all OS X users, not just those using Lion.

The GnuCash website gets a facelift!

As you can see, the GnuCash website got updated in appearance and content. Cristian Marchi worked for the last couple of months to get what you see now. He mainly reworked the appearance of the website while most of the framework is still the same of the old website.

The features page got some attention and now it better showcases what GnuCash is able to offer to its users. In addition to the features page, the content was updated also for the download and documentation pages. In this last page, you can now download the GnuCash docs in the epub format (e-book file format), thanks to the work provided by SASAKI Suguru.

The GnuCash team hopes that you will enjoy the new look and contents of the refreshed website.

For any problem concerning the new website or to help translating it in your language, feel free to contact the GnuCash devel mailing list

• [20800] Bug #646541: new invoice line items default to invoice open date instead of current date This commit partially reverts the changes in r19134 so that customer invoices and employee vouchers default to the current date. Vendor bills still default to the invoice open date.
• [20798] Fix report reload and options change that got broken by the previous commit.
• [20796] Force custom url handlers to lowercase to deal with Webkit 1.4's case sensitivity. For more details, consult this Fedora bugreport: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712268
