+<li>[20804]Bug #653056: Fix menu accelerators not working, crash on save-while-quitting.</li>
+<li>[20800] Bug #646541: new invoice line items default to invoice open date

+<li>[20792] Bug #652257 - Memory leak in gnc-file.c

+<li>[20783] Bug #651889 - Using trading accounts, new non-expanded trading transaction shows inverted rates in exchange dialog
+
+When using trading accounts, the exchange rate dialog has a slightly

+that are created in-line and are not expanded (single-line).
+It does not affect the expanded transactions or transactions created
+in the new transaction dialog.
+Patch by Mathieu De Zutter</li>

+are not working</li>
+<li>[20750] Windows build: change default gtk theme to work around a number of
+problems in the Ms-Windows theme we used before.
+Particularly, this prevents the crash caused by bug #614636 and fixes
+the black notebook tabs that appeared after Phil upgraded webkit and
+many related gnome dependencies.
+The new default theme is "Nimbus" following a suggestion by Kim Wood
+on the mailing list.</li>
+<li>[20746] Bug #652193 - Upcoming Scheduled Transactions Calendar Starting Month
+Error. Patch by Rich</li>
+<li>[20745] Replace deprecated xml tag in chart of accounts templates</li>
