Apologies for threading/formatting issues as I was not subscribed to the
list for this message.
Is there any way to manually revert the size to 72/inch on Mac? The larger
font now causes major issues on my 13" pre-retina (1280x800) screen,
including an inability to resize the window width to be less/equal to
screen width. It's bad enough from a usability standpoint that I reverted
to 3.2.
Best,
Greg

That’s the result of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787867
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787867> and some related
bugs and changes. After much thrashing about Behdad discovered that
even though Apple says that resolution is in points, they actually
mean CSS points (96/inch) instead of printer’s points (72/inch).
Regards,
John Ralls

most aspects of the program has increased by 6 or so points (this is
on MacOS). Actually it was quite pleasing to my old eyes, but
unexpected.

changed to 'GnuCash Bugzilla'.

*>>* The Following fixes and improvemts were not associated with bug reports:
*>> >>* • Set toolbar buttons to show both icon and text.
*>>* And make the icon small to recover some vertical screen estate.
The motivation for this is that Gtk has dropped the ability for users
to change a toolbar's appearance. And as our icons are often less than
descriptive many users benefit from having textual descriptions as
well. This is the best compromise we can make until the gui gets an
in-depth redesign.
*>> >>* • Add preference for forcing prices to decimal display.
*>>* Anticipating that some users might prefer to see exact prices,
add a preference to General>Numbers to configure whether prices are
rounded to decimals or are displayed as exact fractions.
*>> >>* • Revert the "Average Cost" pricing changes made in 2.6.17.
*>>* These changes broke trial balances in many books.
*>> >>* • Allow saving to xml over an existing sqlite3 file and the
other way around.
*>>* • Add customer/vendor ID in client section of invoices.
*>>* Partly fixes bugs 430259 and 742086; full fixes would require
not-backward-compatible data model changes.
*>> >>* • Change the default filter for General Ledger.
*>>* The General Ledger default for the number of days shown is 30 but
for the Register it is 0, meaning show all. So change the default
filter based on ledger type and use this when determining if the
setting should be saved or removed.
*>> >>* • Fix gtk accelerator mixups by explicitly disabling actions
that are not relevant.
*>>* For example, File->Print and its variants for various page types
all use the same '<primar>p' as global accelerator. It was possible to
have gnucash invoke the 'Print Report...' action instead of the 'Print
Invoice...' action when hitting <primary>p on an invoice page. If no
report page was open at this point, gnucash would crash. If a report
was open, gnucash would invoke the print action on that report instead
of opening an invoice report for the invoice.
*>> >>* • [job-report] Prevent Crash if there is no AR account
*>>* • Add the ability to cascade account colours in account tree.
*>>* The colour on an account that has sub-accounts can be applied to
its sub-accounts; by default only those sub-accounts that don't have a
colour set are affected, but there's a preference to override that.
*>> >>* • Speed up loading the preference dialog by blocking register
updates until the dialog is fully loaded.
*>>* • Update change_tax_code.py, add basic test for python query.
*>>* • Simplify GNCQueryView's data model: It was managing a number
of redudant parameters which were leaking memory all over the place.
The information that was tracked could easily be extracted from the
underlying GtkTreeView, GtkTreeModel or GtkTreeSelection when needed.
*>>* • Open customer/vendor/employee report when double-clicking an
the respective owner the cust/vend/empl overview page.
*>>* • Update Overview of README based on
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-September/042748.html
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2018-September/042748.html>
*>>* • Many new tests for reports.
*>>* • Some substantial speedups when loading large amounts of
business transactions from a SQL backend.
*>>* • Clean up a lot of memory leaks.

*>>* The following translations are updated: Farsi, Ukrainian
