"What's New" for 3.0

[David T.]

John,

I agree that the website would be a better place to promote this new report as well as other changes. Of course, there is already a News page that gathers the release notes for users, but perhaps with the Big Jump it would be preferable to have a special top-level page added. It would be nice if there were some kind of “freshness dating” for this, so that it isn’t still up on display in 2021…

Chris Lam has offered a PR (https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/pull/106) documenting his substantial enhancements to the Transaction Report and included a bunch of "NEW! in 3.0" bullets. Given the way documentation is(n't) maintained I think it wise not to bury something like that in a chapter, and besides we need a summary document explaining everything that's changed between 2.6 and 3.0.
