The SHA hash for GnuCash 5.7 doesn't match the published one, presumeably
because the published one's actually for version 5.6. So it's described.
MacOS version but probably true for the others.

?I?m confused and my age sometimes makes my brain burp.
This is the first time I?ve ever seen Gnucash mail asking someone else
for confirmation of their email address. It?s to a Frederick Bambrough.
Just asking if this is a fluke or a phish?
Thanks, Po

the transaction account cell will show the sum of the 2 splits - note if
a transaction's currency is different from the account's currency, both
amounts will be shown into the appropriate currency. [txn-columns]
multilevel sorting - type then name. ? Add ability for the dense
calendar to start from any week day.
? In the dense calendar, add a default number of months per column entry
to the view model to get a better layout when the function
gnc_dense_cal_set_num_months is solely used.
? Add today indication on the dense calendar
? Updated the Quote Sources list in the Security Editor to match F::Q v1.59
? Import Matcher - select row if none is selected yet when
right-clicking the list of matches
? Change the default visible period for General Ledger from 1 calendar
month to 30 days.

? Ensure that filters are re-applied to multi-account registers when the
number of included sub-accounts changes.
? Copy the latest price when creating a new entry in the Price Editor
from a commodity selection
? New function gnc_account_foreach_until_date uses binary search to find
first split after date, then for_each from earliest split to (but
excluding) that split. ? New function gnc_reports_foreach to abstract
GHashTable-base implementation.

either in Doxygen comments or in the Wiki.
? Remove XCode info from HACKING, obsolete. Move valgrind/callgrind
instructions to the Wiki.

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 GnuCash nightly builds have
beta releases with the new implementation, so consider using one of
those if the stable AQBanking doesn't work for you.

Heh, that was almost the least of the problem with that announcement
email. I've sent a new one with the correct SHA256s and also the release

A fluke (a kind of fish, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_flounder,
but not a phish ;-) ) I think: It looks like Mr. Bambrough accidentally
replied to the email instead of using the link.

Message-ID: <f6bb4012-7d2c-446b-ba3a-abb0e79107b4 at app.fastmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain
I was just reconciling the last quarters books and could not get the
damn things to reconcile. I finally tracked it down to a client
overpaying on an invoice by a small amount, transposing some digits on
the invoice.
Now I am no accountant.
I thought I could fix the books by just sending the client another
invoice of the difference, with a nice funny charge.
Is there any way I can change the date of an invoice in GNUCash to last
month to reconcile to the bank statements?
Is there a more correct accounting way to correct this?
Thanks,
Michael Campbell

When you are at the 'Import Preview' window/step, you can click on the
arrow pointing downward next to label of each column which will expand
to all available assignments that can be done for that column. You can
select from that drop down list. Each column is individually controlled
so that you can assign it however you like. Additionally, after you are
satisfied with setting up the import how you like it to be, you can type
in a name underneath the 'Load and Save Setting' and then clicking
button that looks like arrow pointing down on top of a underscore right
of the input field. Next time you can click the down arrow button in
the same area to select and recall back previously saved setting.

I want to import from a CSV file It has both debit and credit transactions.
When I am labeling the CSV columns I don't see where I label Withdrawal

I have set up a test GNUCash file and am running test data. It sees the

Thanks again, David, for your guidance. Obviously I had previously made
one or some mistakes, so when I tried to follow the advice in your mail
down here, it did not work.
But now I am happy.
I uninstalled GnuCash, cleaned my computer from all? remaining GnuCash
rest pieces, made a new installation, and followed all the steps in your
mail down here, and everything showed up as you had written.
A big THANKS. But I need further guidance - please.
WHAT NEXT?
