The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.13, the fourteenth
release in the stable 5.x series.
Between 5.12 and 5.13, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 343711 - Splits to Imbalance-USD do not disappear when
zero-valued.
To mitigate potential impact, the Imbalance split is only removed when
the split transitions to zero value during the commit of the
transaction and the split's memo and action have no value.
• Bug 799249 - Crash while switch to recently opened file
• Bug 799638 - error: call to non-'constexpr' function
• Bug 799649 - Ensure that GnuCash does not crash when it converts a
foreign-currency transaction into a trading account transaction.
• Bug 799650 - Reconcile Ending Balance Ignored When Statement Date Set
• Bug 799652 - Invoice price decimal places
• Bug 799654 - Zombie entries in the recently accessed file list.
• Bug 799656 - Invoice and bills still display prices as fractional
amounts with "Force Prices to display as decimals"
• Bug 799657 - Incorrect trial Balance report with stocks and multiple
currencies
• Bug 799661 - Exchange Rate entries displayed in reports in an
unstable order
• Bug 799662 - Importing accounts from UTF8 csv file does not work
correctly
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug
reports:
• Provide a new dialog, gnc_action_dialog, for confirming actions that
labels buttons with a active verb (e.g. "Delete") instead of a
confirmation (e.g. "Yes" or "OK"). This is hypothetically less
ambiguous in some cases.
• Transaction Report: Add links to bills and invoices.
• [gnc-plugin-page-report] confirm before overwriting saved report
• Added Swiss Fund Data AG to single_quote_sources. New F::Q source
will be available in v1.67. The selection will be disabled until F::Q
1.67 is released and installed.
• Replace deprecated gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data
• Fix tests so that they run on Win32 builds.
• Fix inadvertant insertion in test-trial-balance.scm.
• extract-translators: Use 'open :encoding' instead of
utf::encode/decode.
• Fix newline disparity in translator-credits
• Translator credits: Separate translators with a newline Instead of a
semicolon. Presents them as a list, one name per line, as with the
other credits.
• [fin.c] fix encoding to utf8
• [new-owner-report.scm] insert job-ID if available
• [balsheet-pnl] use gnc:accounts-get-commodities-sorted
• Set policy CMP0177 and follow the documented recommendations
regarding DESTINATION paths.
• [balsheet-pnl] ensure the account name cell doesn't wrap
• Specialize get_row_value_from_object for int64_t so that it doesn't
try to pass the value in a pointer. That comes out badly on 32-bit
systems.
• [charts] Add chartjs v4 to borrowed so it can be used when available
(meaning not on Windows because Windows's JS support via webkit is too
old).
• [charts] use gnc:html-chart-set-xaxis-type!
• [html-chart] expose gnc:html-chart-set-x-axis-type!; Centralise to
ease chartjs upgrade. The option path changes as follows: '(options
scales xAxes (0) type) in chartjs-2 '(options scales x type) in
chartjs-3
• [gnc-pricedb.cpp] plug leak from gnc_g_date_new_today
• [gtest-xml-contents] test xaccTransGetDatePostedGDate from xml
• Engine: Replace indirect qof_object_set/get calls with direct
qof_instance_kvp ones.
• [gtest-load-and-test-datafile.cpp] add example .gnucash to test
contents
