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

<li>Major improvement in Python bindings to enable engine methods to return Python objects instead of SWIG pointers. Covers Account, Split, Transaction, GNCLot, gnc_commodity, gnc_commodity_namespace, gnc_commodity_table, GNCPrice, GNCPriceDB, QofBook, QofSession, GncGUID, GncCustomer, GncEmployee, GncVendor, GncJob, GncAddress, GncBillTerm, GncTaxTable, GncInvoice, and GncEntry. GncOwner, the superclass of many of the business classes, is already covered. This allows more pythonic usage:
    <ul>
        <li>Call member functions directly, e.g. <code>price.get_commodity()</code> instead of using the C-function style <code>gc.gnc_price_get_commodity(price)</code></li>
        <li>The C-function call now raises a DeprecationWarning if called with a Python object but <em>not</em> if called with the instance, e.g. <code>gc.gnc_price_get_commodity(price.instance)</code></li>
        <li>It is no longer necessary to test and convert return values for being <code>SwigPyObjects</code> or not Python objects: Code like
            <pre>

if type(desc).name == 'SwigPyObject':
desc = gnucash.Account(instance=desc)
or


if type(split) != Split:

split=Split(instance=split)

is no longer required.
