Version history:
------- -------
+4.5 - 28 March 2021
+The sixth release of the 4.x stable series.
+
+Between 4.4 and 4.5, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
+ Bug 783283 - Multi-Currency payments use wrong date
+ Also properly handles the user clicking the cancel button on the
+ transfer dialog. It will now just return to the payment window,
+ waiting for further user input.
+ Bug 797621 - GnuCash freezes temporarily and sometimes crashes when
+ selecting Sales Tax Table in Invoices
+ Bug 797630 - Check for missing dependencies of 'Get Quotes' to avoid
+ Gnucash crash.
+ Bug 797906 - GnuCash data file is locked after a "save-as" to mysql
+ database.
+ It's more general, any save-as to a different backend type, i.e.
+ xml->sql or sql->xml, left the previous book locked.
+ Bug 797924 - Crash when searching for customer to process payment.
+ Bug 797997 - File gnucash could note be found
+ On Microsoft Windows when run from a CMD shell and passing a path
+ that contains non-ASCII characters.
+ Bug 798019 - Currency rates in OFX file are ignored
+ Use currency_rate information from OFX file if available. Requires
+ LibOFX v 0.10.0 or later.
+ Bug 798044 - Adding splits to a lot is extremely slow
+ Bug 798060 - Invoices are missing on Customer report after upgrade
+ Bug 798070 - Opening balance does not update when creating account from
+ Account Hierarchy
+ Bug 798078 - Report 'Income Chart' prints stacktrace when end date before
+ start date
+ Bug 798085 - Incorrect transactions import of entires with large number
+ amount
+ Quicken 2005 introduces U amount which sometimes differs from T amount.
+ U amount has larger range, and must override T amount whenever they're
+ not equal.
+ Bug 798093 - Changing the symbol/abbreviation of a security after the
+ trading account was created breaks GnuCash.
+ Makes it possible for the user to rename trading accounts or securities
+ independent of each other.
+ Bug 798096 - can't duplicate TX previous to red line threshold
+ Bug 798098 - Crash popup show when have 3 Windows in OSX
+ Bug 798100 - Equity totals calculating incorrectly
+ Prevents creation of non-currency opening balance accounts.
+ Bug 798101 - Do not #undef __STRICT_ANSI__
+ Remove defines and undefines for Windows, they were needed with
+ MinGW classic but are not with MinGW-w64.
+ Bug 798104 - Menu item for "Import Account" is wrong in danish
+ Bug 798112 - An error occurred while processing mysql ...
+ A "Feature" of MYSQL is that it allows C-style backslash escapes in
+ string constants and replaces them with the actual character (e.g. \n
+ is converted to 0x0a). This causes round trip problems if the escape
+ is one of the allowed ones and a MYSQL error if it isn't. Disable the
+ feature so that MYSQL follows the SQL standard.
+ Bug 798132 - Invoice Importing crashes when importing low quantity values.
+ Bug 798135 - GtkEntry text with search list: shows selected entry again
+ for no reason
+ Bug 798147 - Notes entry crashes program
+ Bug 798149 - CSV transaction Import setting loses account name if it is
+ changed after setting is memorized
+ Account guid is saved as well as the full account name and when
+ recalled the account is looked up first by guid, if this fails the
+ full account name is checked which if successful immediately updates
+ the saved base account setting with the account guid for future use.
+ If unsuccessful the account combo is blank with a error message as
+ before. When save CSV settings button is used, both the Guid and full
+ paths are saved so previous versions can still use the full path as
+ before.
+ Bug 798150 - Error on report over time
+ Caused by incorrect handling of Daylight Savings beginning at midnight.
+ Bug 798154 - Tooltips wrong when multiple charts in one report
+
+The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
+ Fix building based on unix makefiles
+ Make the chart on the report page icon larger to align better with the
+ account page icon.
+ Allow the context menu when GncCellRendererTextView is in edit mode.
+ Restructure early locale initialization
+ * Move macOS specific bits to its own source file. As this is
+ objective-c use .mm extension
+ * Use common function signature for macOS and Windows init function
+ and include via common header file
+ Fix GncDateTime::format_zulu to emit the UTC timezone instead of the
+ GncDateTime's timezone with the UTC timestamp.
+ Fix the implementations of gnc_foo_get_day_neutral. As implemented these
+ returned 10:59 AM local on the day but neutral time is 10:59 UTC.
+ gnc_invoice_window_print_invoice return NULL if invoice is NULL.
+ [dialog-invoice] invoice editor reuses invoice report tab.
+ Allow for Header Bar use in CSV transaction Assistant
+ There are a couple of action buttons that are added to the CSV
+ transaction assistant with added alignment based on the action area
+ being a GtkBox which causes errors if the header bar is used so test
+ for the action area type and use appropriate specific functions.
+ Drop default locale currency special case for euro
+ The condition mentioned in the comment no longer applies. All European
+ locales on Windows (MingW64) properly present EUR as currency these
+ days.
+ Fix fencepost error in calculating the week_num for POSIX timezone rules.
+ Include the contents of PROJECT_DESCRIPTION in the PACKAGE_PREFIX.
+ If it's defined. PACKAGE_PREFIX is used to name tarballs and set their
+ base directory. The translation project has requested that we name
+ freeze-string tarballs with a pre1 suffix; this makes that possible.
+ Update python/gnucash_business.py to reflect rename of gncOwnerApplyPayment.
+ I18N: don't mark "<<", ">>" translatable
+ They get properly reversed for RTL writing
+ From Budget editor, add toolbar and Edit menu to run budget report
+ This parallels the invoice editor "Print Invoice" functionality.
+ Runs the budget report using current budget.
+ [gnc-plugin-page-budget] change note icon to a note page
+ Allow the find account dialog position to be saved when using 'X'
+ Update price database for imported transactions.
+ Replace g_memdup by memcpy
+ GLib is deprecating g_memdup and will immediately remove it in the
+ next micro-release because of a CVE.
+ [html-fonts] Prevent sup/sub from affecting baseline
+ Source: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/prevent-superscripts-and-subscripts-from-affecting-line-height/
+ Previously <sup> and <sub> would cause the baseline to move vertically.
+ Replace stat calls with GFile to retrieve last modified info
+ Avoids code-page problems with non-ASCII characters on Microsoft
+ Windows.
+ [gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c] use xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed
+ which is then reversed if required. this removes the need for double
+ reversal.
+ [Split.c]New function xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactionsReversed
+ Same as xaccSplitListGetUniqueTransactions but doesn't reverse the
+ list prior to returning. To be used by gnc-tree-model-split-reg.c
+ Several optimizations
+ * doesn't call g_list_find and g_list_append for every iteration
+ * uses g_hash_table to cache list of txns already added instead of
+ g_list_find
+ * does not reverse the result, thereby returning a reversed list.
+ [gnc-recurrence.c] avoid O(N^2) children traversal
+ Ensure that any GncMainWindows containing no tabs are destroyed at shutdown.
+ I18N: drop translatable flag from "xxx" dummies and remove trailing spaces
+ from translatable strings
+ Update Form/Schedule line references for 2020 for the US Income Tax Report.
+ Fix build with glib2 2.67.x.
+ glib headers should not be included with 'extern "C"'.
+ [balsheet-pnl] Use last day of the month prices instead of first day of
+ next month.
+ [options.scm API] Remove canonically-tabbed parent-subtotal-mode
+ This mode had been marked experimental for 17 years and was never
+ improved. Any saved reports with this option will be switched to
+ parent-subtotal-mode enabled.
+ Accommodate Gwenhywfar 5.5.0 signature change for some GUI callbacks.
+ This is a breaking change that matters only in Win32. No ifdeffing
+ because Win32 builds and dependencies are well synchronized.
+ L10N: Move translation authority for Turkish from the GNU Translation
+ Project to Weblate.
+ Make prototypes static for autoclear unit test, fixes build on Debian
+ Buster.
+ [income-gst-statement] trep-engine currency section moved
+ From "General" to "Currency". Missed out in 854c11782 commit
+ [test-scm-utilities] test-end properly so that test failures set the exit
+ code correctly
+ Create opening balance accounts only when there are opening balances.
+ [qif-file.scm] Don't use match as an identifier
+ It is a (ice-9 match) keyword.
+ Change the CSV export account tree header line
+ Change the headings of the CSV account export header line to be more
+ friendly which uses existing translations.
+ [new-owner-report] Don't create empty rows on report when splits have no
+ entry in the memo field.
+ [gnc-report] dump backtrace to console when report crashes
+ Because gnc:backtrace-if-exception, not used anymore, would dump
+ guile backtrace to console. restore this behaviour.
+ [report-core] remove 2.6/2.4 compatibility code
+ [gnucash-commands.cpp] display report errors to stderr
+
+New API:
+ [report-core.scm] create and expose gnc:render-report
+ similar to gnc:report-run but *always* returns a 2-element list
+ containing data OR captured_error
+ [report-core.scm] create and expose gnc:render-report
+ similar to gnc:report-run but *always* returns a 2-element list
+ containing data OR captured_error
