[GNC] Changes in gnucash 4 vs 3

[Peter Ratzlaff]

I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 21.10 (gnucash 3.8) to 22.04 (gnucash 
4.9), and am seeing some odd behaviour. These are just the things I 
immediately notice.



When gnucash is run without a command line argument, it no longer opens 
the most recently-opened file. The specific filename must be given each 
time.



Income accounts now have negative balances. Same for equity. Liability 
balance signs are flipped as well.



I have a saved report which generates a plot of assets over time, and 
that report no longer displays the plot. The table of values vs time is 
still printed and the numbers look correct. This seems like it could be 
some sort of unmet graphics package dependency, but there is no error 
message generated on the terminal or in the GUI.



There seems to be nothing on the "GnuCash News" page at 
https://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml, on the changes introduced in gnucash 
4.0. Is there somewhere else to find them?



Thanks for any input.
