Updated via https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-htdocs/commit/bba9a572 (commit)
This update added new revisions after undoing existing revisions. That is
to say, the old revision is not a strict subset of the new revision. This
situation occurs when you --force push a change and generate a repository
containing something like this:
* -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O (https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-htdocs/commit/36089dbc)
\
N -- N -- N (https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-htdocs/commit/bba9a572)
When this happens we assume that you've already had alert emails for all
of the O revisions, and so we here report only the revisions in the N
branch from the common base, B.

+<b>Announcement:</b> GnuCash 5.15 Released
+2026-03-29
+
+<h2>GnuCash 5.15 Released</h2>
+
+<p>The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.15, the sixteenth release in the stable 5.x series.</p>
+
+<h4>Between 5.14 and 5.15, the following bugfixes were accomplished:</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666536">Bug 666536 - smallest fraction of KRW is invalid</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798122">Bug 798122 - Message about unable to balance transaction</a>: Implement better can't-balance messages for scheduled transactions with more than one template transaction.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798873">Bug 798873 - Crash when scrubbing after "undoing" changes</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799705">Bug 799705 - Remove Old Prices by Namespace</a>: Display namespaces and allow selecting particular namespaces in the Remove Old Prices dialog.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799706">Bug 799706 - Rename Namespace</a>: Add a rename namespace button to the Security editor that is enabled by the selection of a namespace row in the tree view. </li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799713">Bug 799713 - Account Editor changes account color to gray when default selected.</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799722">Bug 799722 - Inconsistent wording: Bill and Invoice</a>: Use "Business Item" in messages that could apply to any of Bill, Credit Note, or Invoice, including where we reuse the same message in different cases.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799734">Bug 799734 - mapped OFX income account not listed</a></li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799745">Bug 799745 - Import matcher doesn't handle zero length memo and description properly</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:</h4>
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Major improvement in Python bindings to enable engine methods to return Python objects instead of SWIG pointers. Covers Account, Split, Transaction, GNCLot, gnc_commodity, gnc_commodity_namespace, gnc_commodity_table, GNCPrice, GNCPriceDB, QofBook, QofSession, GncGUID, GncCustomer, GncEmployee, GncVendor, GncJob, GncAddress, GncBillTerm, GncTaxTable, GncInvoice, and GncEntry. GncOwner, the superclass of many of the business classes, is already covered. This allows more pythonic usage:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Call member functions directly, e.g. <code>price.get_commodity()</code> instead of using the C-function style <code>gc.gnc_price_get_commodity(price)</code></li>
+ <li>The C-function call now raises a DeprecationWarning if called with a Python object but <em>not</em> if called with the instance, e.g. <code>gc.gnc_price_get_commodity(price.instance)</code></li>
+ <li>It is no longer necessary to test and convert return values for being <code>SwigPyObjects</code> or not Python objects: Code like
+ <pre>
+if type(desc).__name__ == 'SwigPyObject':
+ desc = gnucash.Account(instance=desc)
+ </pre> or
+ <pre>
+if type(split) != Split:
+ split=Split(instance=split)
+ </pre> is no longer required. </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>Enable copy-and-paste in Scheduled Transaction template transactions.</li>
+ <li>Disable the <code>Transaction Paste</code> or <code>Split Paste</code> menu items in the register's <code>Transaction</code> menu when there is no transaction or split in the clipboard.</li>
+ <li>Check all template transactions in a Scheduled Transaction for balance instead of only the first.</li>
+ <li>Fix the last reconcile date sort in the Accounts page so that unreconciled accounts sort after reconciled ones instead of before.</li>
+ <li>Ensure that custom report sub-menus can receive custom report entries.</li>
+ <li>Import Matcher: Add trace messages to make it easier to track why some transactions aren't considered possible matches and uncomment the debug statements so that they can be emitted with <code>--log</code> arguments on the command line.</li>
+ <li>Fix segfault in gnc_gsettings_get_settings_obj when GSettings schemas are not installed.</li>
+ <li>Add tooltip explaining date-format selection to the CSV Import Assistant.</li>
+ <li>CSV Importer: Reparse all import lines when changing date or currency formats or when setting base_account. </li>
+ <li>[new-owner-report.scm] fix display/due-date tooltip</li>
+ <li>Transaction report efficiency improvements.</li>
+ <li>Ensure that <code>gnc_commodity_compare</code> produces a stable sort.</li>
+ <li>Implement full test coverage of libgnucash/engine/qofid except for some unreachable code.</li>
+ <li>Remove unused qof_collection_from_glist function.</li>
+ <li>New function <code>gnc_account_get_earliest_date</code> returns the account's earliest split date. This usually reflects the account opening date.</li>
+ <li>Provide an earliest-date sort option in the Accounts page and the balance-forecast report.</li>
+ <li>Support 64-bit compilation on Windows.</li>
+ <li>gnc_account_child_index: return -1 for non-child.</li>
+ <li>Turn off deprecation warning for wstring_convert. It's deprecated in C++17 with no replacement until C++26. </li>
+ <li>Update GncDateTime to handle new exceptions from Boost::DateTime</li>
+ <li>Use std::chrono to create a GncDateTime. Boost::DateTime uses <code>time_t</code> and in some cases that's still 32-bit, leading to a potential 2038 bug.</li>
+ <li>Fix GUI leaks in register completion cell, GncPluginPageRegister, and GNCPluginPageReport.</li>
+ <li>[gnc-datetime.cpp] Fix potential bug in fast_iso8601_utc_parse</li>
+</ul>
