+2024-09-29
+
+<h2>GnuCash 5.9 Released</h2>
+
+<p>The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.9, the tenth release in the stable 5.x series.</p>
+
+<h4>Between 5.8 and 5.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724745">Bug 724745 - Added new transaction during reconcile, didn't show up in reconcile window.</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797045">Bug 797045 - Improve error reporting for bad credentials with MySQL backend ("bad or corrupt data" => "access denied")</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798568">Bug 798568 - Transaction Copy/Paste problem</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799308">Bug 799308 - sqlite backend: Example Python script prints error when creating new file.</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799370">Bug 799370 - Transaction Journal view cursor placement after commit to transaction change.</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799384">Bug 799384 - Reconciled date cannot be parsed.</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799389">Bug 799389 - Crash when removing an account</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799391">Bug 799391 - Transaction Cut/Paste doesn't move the transaction to the target account</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799395">Bug 799395 - relative date offset quarters occasionally wrong</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799399">Bug 799399 - Windows Keypad decimal locale error</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799416">Bug 799416 - Post invoice: post to account dropdown listbox too small</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799419">Bug 799419 - Intermittent quote price issue</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li>Add YH Finance (FINANCEAPI) API Key to Quotes infrastructure with a preference in the Online Quotes page and add financeapi to known sources. </li>
+ <li>Move copied_class and copied_leader_guid<p>Move static copied_class and static copied_leader_guid to be part of the copied_item structure. This makes it more evident that calling clear_copied_item needs to be called before copied_item is used. </p></li>
+ <li>[gnc-datetime] improve CSV date parser with ICU and Boost.
+ <ol><li> Add dateformat "Locale" with ICU; uses current locale for date parsing. ICU's locale date parser may parse "3 May 2023" or "2024年9月13日" (LC_TIME=zh_TW.utf8) and maybe others.</li>
+ <li>Augment d-m-y m-d-y and y-m-d with boost UK/US/ISO parsers. This allows CSV import of dates with months as words as "30 Sep 2023" or "May 4, 1978" or "2023-Dec-25". Note boost parser cannot recognise 2-digit years, therefore "30 Sep 24" is invalid.</li>
+ </ol></li>
+ <li>Csv Import - improve assisant's introduction page</li>
+ <li>Correctly handle uncommitted edits when opening a file from history.</li>
+ <li>Don't use gnc_difftime and deprecate it because it casts time64 to doubles </li>
+ <li>[gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_substitute_commodity</li>
+ <li>[gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_lookup_at_time64</li>
+</ul>

+<h4>German AQBanking Users:</h4>
+<p>The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code finalized so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the last stable version, 6.5.4. The <a href="https://code.gnucash.org/builds/">GnuCash nightly builds</a> have beta releases with the new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable AQBanking doesn't work for you.</p>
