New Features

The matcher window columns are changed from R to C and from U+R to U+C, reflecting that the matcher marks transactions cleared but doesn't reconcile them. (Bug 797338)
OFX imports having balance information will now offer to immediately reconcile, passing the balance information in the file to the reconcile info.
Improve quickfill in the account pickers to filter the choices based on any part of the name.
The GnuCash widget hierarchy for CSS has been revised to be more consistent with Gtk practice. You may need to spend some time with the GtkInspector to get your custom CSS back the way you like it.
When creating a new account hierarchy it's now possible to load account templates from locales other than the one set for the user interface. (Bug 797472)
New Account - Online Account match list to the Import Map Editor.
New invalid maps dialog in the Import Map Editor. (Bug 797612)
Optionally include the account code option in budget view.
Account matcher will decline to match accounts with a different commodity from the imported split if the import information includes the commodity.
Ellipsize the Description and Memo fields in the account matcher.
Enable adding notes to budgets. (Bug 693180)
Support for AQBanking Version 6. This is required to support new FinTS protocols and the European Privacy Directive.
GnuCash 4.x will not migrate old gconf settings from GnuCash 2.4.x.
Reversing transactions will now pop a dialog box to request a posting date. (Bug 782455)
The Accounts page has a new optional column for the hidden property to make it easier to toggle it. Note that in order to see hidden accounts you must still enable that in the Filter by... dialog. (Bug 797486)
The Customer, Vender, and Employee overviews have a process-payment toolbar. (Bug 797605).
Account codes may now optionally be displayed in the Budget Tree View. (Bug 797489).

New/Revised Reports

Owner Report

Significant Code Changes

The source directories have been rearranged and most of the loadable modules (e.g. libgncmod-engine.so) are now normal dynamic libraries (libgnc-engine.so), shorn of their gnc-module adapters. Make sure that you clean and rebuild your build directory.
All functions marked as deprecated in 3.x are now removed. If you have custom reports be sure to examine gnucash.trace for deprecation warnings and update your reports before trying them in GnuCash 3.91.
libgncmod-generic-import is now libgnc-generic-import.
Scheme no longer uses libgncmodule, always do (use-modules (gnucash foo))
Autocompletion improvements for the transfer-account field.
New test for invalid mappings for online accounts and a dialog to fix them.
jqplot is replaced by chartjs.
Separate most Guile binding code from the code that it wraps. It's now located in bindings/guile.
Improve Google test integration in cmake. CMake now requires only GTEST_ROOT and only when cmake isn't able to find Google test without help.Unit tests for Scheme code with SRFI64.

Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 5.0

gnc:substring-replace-from-to

Between 3.10 and 3.902, the following bugfixes were accomplished. Some of these will also be fixed in GnuCash 3.11, some are for 4.0 only.

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

Fix 3 problems with the scheduled transactions calculations
- Set a monthly recurrence on the 10th with a start date on the 20th of this month. The editor correctly shows the next occurrence to be on the 10th of the following month. The schedule transaction summary dialog incorrectly shows the next occurrence to be on the 10th of this month (before the start date!)
- Set a monthly recurrence on the 19th, with a start date on the 20th of this month. The editor's calendar marks incorrectly show the next occurrence to be on the 19th of this month (before the start date).
- Set a monthly recurrence on the 18th, with a start date on the 20th and an end date on the 17 of the following month. The calendar should show no mark, but fails to erase the marks that were present.
Fix issue when editing the account tree view notes field
When you try to edit a multiline account notes field in the account tree view you end up with just one line with control characters as it is being edited with a GtkCellRenderText cell. To fix this I have added a new cell renderer based on a text view.
Fix failed build of python tests and failed test in 3.10 tarball.
