Gnucash/gnucash 4.3 on GitHub

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.3, the fourth release in the stable 4.x series

Between 4.2 and 4.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

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

Add custom unbound-variable exception reporter in guile that identifies what module provides the missing symbol.
Balsheet-pnl report: show most recent period first by default
Change register page icon to a padlock if read only
When a resister is read only make whole sheet insensitive.
Add account name to the read-only-register dialog box because under some circumstances it may be unclear to which register the message applies.
Strictly use use-modules to import Scheme symbols: Guile 3.0 doesn't like the alternatives. This can cause problems resolving symbols if the source of those symbols isn't yet compiled and hasn't been symlinked into the builddir.
Don't try to reload report if the first attempt raised an html error.
Barcharts: Limit account drill-down depth to 6.
I18N:glossary: add mortgage terms ARM, APR, FRM
Change the icons used for the file locked dialog box.
Add support for the opening balance accounts flag
Up to now, opening balance accounts have been identified by means of fixed names and their translations. Support Replacing this with a consistent non-translated tag. The actual replacement will be added to Gnucash 4.4; this change is to ensure a migration path.
Replace TravisCI with Github actions for CI testing. TravisCI sharply restricted their free support of Free Software projects.
Use LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH instead of (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH in environment file.
Add a few more CSS classes for labels
Add GoogleMocks of some engine objects and refine Import-export unit tests using them.
Add auto-clear to register page
Change source files dialog-dup-trans.* for space and tabs
Fix exception when converting to decimal values that reduce to N/1.
Add confirmation of Main Window close when more than one window is displayed
Add keyboard shortcuts <Ctrl><Alt><Menu> for the notebook page selection menu and <Ctrl><Alt>A to jump to the Accounts page.
Allow using the Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/Down to scroll the report view.
Fix report page keyboard focus in the scroll window.
Fix some incorrect links to the help file
Fix section help on windows not working.
Set the visibility of the account column in import-main-matcher depending upon the nubmer of accounts being displayed.
Add option to hide memo column on import-main-matcher
Fix pressing help button in OFX importer causing main-import-matcher to disappear
Preferences dialog: Display the invalid account separator message box only when the user closes the Preferences Dialog instead of after every change to any control.
Expose ngettext as gnc:ngettext
Add tooltip in import matcher window for description and memo column.
Put Macs back on WebKit2.
CMake: Mute guile-2.2 again
Fix several report stylesheet font-handling issues especially on macOS.
Fix price-renderer not converting to decimal.
Add some additional places where Check&Repair can be aborted
Make the price database list obey the force-prices-to-decimal preference.
Several improvements to the auto-clear dialog.
Fix some errors found by i18nspector in po files
Tax Report Options appeared twice on menu for Chart of Accounts
General Journal Report: Allow Report Options>General Title to render document title.
[options.scm] rename new-owner-report "Links" to "Transaction Links"
[new-owner-report] enable doclink links
[html-utilities][API] add function gnc:html-invoice-doclink-anchor
Disable chart animation that prevented visual comparison of state before and after reload
Select the register account if Tax Options dialog opened from a register tab.
