 <ul>
 <li>In addition to the XML backend, Gnucash can now use a SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL database to store the data. This is a new implementation using libdbi. It supports all features including the business features.  In order to build with this, add --enable-dbi to the configure command.  In addition to the libdbi-dev package for your distribution, you will also need the appropriate DBD (libdbi driver) package for sqlite3, mysql or postgresql.</li>
 <li>As a replacement for the current GtkHTML HTML engine used to display reports and graphs, Gnucash can use WebKit. WebKit is the engine used by Google Chrome on Windows and Safari on Apple.  In order to build with this, add --enable-webkit to the configure command.  You will need an appropriate webkit-dev package.  On win32, you will need to download the webkit-1.1.5-win32.zip file from the source repository and put it into the downloads directory of your gnucash build area.</li>

 Along with a new version of webkit which properly handles local image files, a change was needed so that instead of creating an html string and feeding it directly to webkit, it is exported to a temp file which is then loaded as a file:// URI.  On Linux, if this is not done, any embedded images do not appear, and there is a console message that local resources can't be loaded.  On Windows, the embedded images don't appear, possibly for the same reason, but I'm not sure where the console messages go.  </li>

-<li>Cutecash</li>
 
-Some of the GnuCash developers have decided to rewrite the UI for the cross-platform Qt toolkit from TrollTech.  The goal is a simpler UI which is more powerful and easier to develop.  This project has gotten the name "Cutecash".  It uses the same back-ends and engine as gnucash.  Only the UI is different.  The source for the Cutecash UI is in the same tree (and therefore, the tarballs) as GnuCash, but at this point, no MAC or Win32 builds are being produced.
-<ul>
-<li>Cutecash: Add install and packaging rules.
-
-Running "make package" will produce a binary package.
-Running "make package_source" will produce a source package.</li>
-<li>Win/MSVC compatibility: Replace g_* file operations by the direct calls into the MSVC runtime.
-
-This tries to avoid a collision between glib's C runtime vs.
-the one that is used by MSVC (and hence also Qt) by using
-file access only through MSVC's one.</li>
-<li>Win32: Add mingw cutecash build to the install.sh script, enabled by WITH_CUTECASH=yes.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Slightly decrease debug output verbosity.</li>
-<li>MSVC: Add creation of MSVC import library of libdbi.</li>
-<li>Fix CMake for building the dbi backend.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Fix missing #ifdefs for dbi calls.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Compile &amp; link SQL backend as well (but there is no GUI for this yet)</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Fix memory leak of missing cleanup of RecentFileMenu object.</li>
-<li>MSVC compatibility: MSVC must not use g_fopen because it uses a different C runtime than the rest of (MSVC) file-handling functions.</li>
-<li>MSVC compatibility: Always initialize all members of the QofObject struct.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Add more event handler to the account windows so that they will be deleted upon book closing.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Code cleanup. Avoid crashes when undoing adding of new transactions by not deleting the tmp transaction object.
-
-Also, correctly set the document state to "clean" after saving.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Implement account selection in new transaction correctly.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Implement entering new transactions in the register.
-
-Only the account selection is still missing.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Add empty line for entering a new transaction in the register. Doesn't yet store data, though.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Introduce separate base class GncInstance for QofInstance methods.
-
-This is the base class for Account, Book, Commodity, Split, Transaction.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Add deletion of rows/transactions (through "Cut"). With Undo. Hee Hee.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Fix file loading, saving, and save-as. Works fine now.
-
-Also, use the new GDate setter/getter for the transaction time.</li>
-<li>Cutecash: Add separate Cmd class for setting the amount/value.
-
-Setting the amount in the register now works.</li>
-<li>Enable editing of the "other" account of a transaction.
-
-Register Account and our other types in the QMetaType system
-so that QVariant can hold it and pass it between the model,
-view, and delegate. Implement AccountSelectionDelegate that
-presents a QComboBox editor widget for account selection.</li>

 <h3>Caveats for Testers</h3>
 <p>Any 2.3.x version might crash unexpectedly at any point during runtime. If you test some serious work in a 2.3.x release and are using the XML file backend for data storage, make sure you hit "Save" after every non-trivial workstep.  If you are using the SQL backend, this is not required as every change is saved immediately to the database.<p>
 <p>The documentation has had screenshots updated, however, many help texts usually only refers to the 1.8.x series. Everyone is invited to help improve the documentation; see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get involved.</p>
