The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.3, the fourth release of the 3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.2 and 3.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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
  • 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.
  • Remove all use of Timespec in the program. Provide deprecated wrapper functions supporting timespecs for custom reports; users should update the reports as soonas possible.
