+<b>Announcement:</b> GnuCash 4.902 Released
+2023-03-05
+
+<h2>GnuCash 4.902 Released</h2>
+
+<p>The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.902, the second unstable release leading to GnuCash 5.0.</p>
+
+<h3>This is an unstable release for testing purposes. Do not use it with production data! Make a copy of your book to test this release. </h3>
+<h4>New Features</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li> A new Stock Transaction Assistant to guide you through entering most investment transactions for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. You can access it from <em>Actions>Stock Assistant</em> when you have the Accounts page ora Stock or Fund account register open.</li>
+ <li> A new Investment Lots report showing a graph of capital gains and losses in a period by investment lot. Note that if you don't use the View Lots dialog to manage capital gains and losses this report won't have anything to show you. Use <em>Reports>Assets & Liabilities>Investment Lots</em> to see the report.</li>
+ <li>A new tab on the New/Edit Account dialog called <em>More Properties</em> includes entries to set a high and low limit on an account. That's coupled to a new column that's available on the Accounts Page, <em>Balance Limit</em>. If you set a high or low limit and the account balance falls above or below the respective limit an indicator will be shown in the Balance Limit column.</li>
+ <li>The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down list of possible completions instead of just one inline completion.</li>
+ <li>File import menu items for the MT940, MT942, and DTAUS formats is replaced with a single <em>Import from AQBanking</em> that supports importing any file format supported by AQBanking, including the frequently requested CAMT.</li>
+ <li><p>The report generated by the Print Invoice button on the Edit Invoice tab can now be configured as a book option at teh bottom of the Business tab; this permits selecting a saved configuration of one of the standard invoice reports. Another option enables a delay, during which a dialog box will appear enabling the user to select a different report.</p><p>Note: When saving a configuration make sure that the invoice number is <em>not set</em> or you'll get that particular invoice instead of the one that you pressed the button for.</p></li>
+</ul>
+<h4>Between 4.901 and 4.902, the following bugfixes were accomplished:</h4>
+<h5>The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:</h5>
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798748">Bug 798748 - Transaction Notes field's value does not appear in reverse transaction.</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798754">Bug 798754 - Build fails with gcc 13 and glib > 2.76</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798759">Bug 798759 - Register widths for 'with sub-account' not saved</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798600">Bug 798600 - CSV import of multi-split security transactions fails to load capital gain</a><p>Transactions with capital gains processing can have splits in transaction currency with a zero amount and a non-zero value. To properly import those, prefer the value column even if transaction currency equals account commodity. Previous (wrong) assumption was that in case of a same-currency split, the amount would always be the value. </p>
+ <p>Update csv transaction export format to include split values. In the csv importer the 'GnuCash Export Format' option will now include values. For compatibility with filex exported from older gnucash versions the previous preset is still available under the name 'GnuCash Export Format (4.x and older)'. </p></li>
+ </ul>
+<h5>The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:</h5>
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782141">Bug 782141 - Import CSV - Multi-currency support can cause rounding errors</a><p>Replace the column types 'Deposit' and 'Withdrawal' with 'Amount' and 'Amount (Negated)' that are conceptually applicable more widely. Also introduce column types 'Value' and 'Value (Negated)' to allow construction of splits in commodities different from the transaction currency. While Value is the number in the transaction currency, always use 'Amount' in single-currency transactions.</p></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793306">Bug 793306 - Price is not imported from CSV</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796955">Bug 796955 - Import CSV - Single-line two-currency transactions can't be imported</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797033">Bug 797033 - The CSV Importer should not obey with the "automatic digital point" setting</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797383">Bug 797383 - Import transaction via CSV selects the commodity as a currency, results in an invalid transaction that is uneditable, and a corrupted price database.</a><p>Change the transaction currency to the from or base account's parent account currency if the from or base account is not denominated in a currency. This allows to import stock transactions directly into the stock account. </p></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797903">Bug 797903 - Transaction window: The 'blue line' is always (erroneously) topmost when t. sorting order is inverted.</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798334">Bug 798334 - Importing transactions from CSV with space as thousand separator</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798572">Bug 798572 - Parse numbers with two minus signs as a positive numbers</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798691">Bug 798691 - Memo field not updated on CSV import using U+C</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798732">Bug 798732 - : Type of balance carry forward accounts for german skr49 account template fixed</a><p>The accounts listed are of the EQUITY type and not ASSET. </p></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798749">Bug 798749 - Fails to read gsettings on startup</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798753">Bug 798753 - UX improvements in new import dialog</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798763">Bug 798763 - "Manage Document Link" keyboard shortcut is missing</a></li>

+<p>New and Updated Translations: Czech, Hungarian</p>
+
+<p><a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/gnucash/">Help translate GnuCash on Weblate</a>. </p>
+<p>Translators note that there is a new project <em>Program-beta</em> on <a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnucash/">weblate</a> for this unstable branch. Having twice the strings causes us to exceed the free account limit, but Weblate has so far just warned us about it. If we need to change the branch we'll announce it on <em>gnucash-devel</em>.</p>
