+ <li>Implement support for !Type:Prices records in the QIF importer.</li>
+ <li> Modernize construction of GObjects using G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE, G_DECLARE_FINAL, etc.</li>

+ <li>Bump minimum cmake version to 3.14 and drop some conditionals for older versions </li>
+ <li>Major speedup in the SQLBackend by replacing C++ exceptions with std::optional for null values.</li>

+ <li>Test loading and saving XML files with and without compression</li>
