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

[import-main-matcher.cpp] After clicking/toggling A/U+C/C checkbox, reselect the row because it'll be much faster to use keyboard navigation -- use up/down/left/right to target desired checkbox, hit <down> <space> repeatedly to repeat the same action over several consecutive rows.
Implement support for !Type:Prices records in the QIF importer.
Modernize construction of GObjects using G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE, G_DECLARE_FINAL, etc.

Fix yet more leaks.

<li>[DBI backend] Change DBI test URLs to environment variables from cmake configuration definitions. </li>
<li> Restore the Stock Transaction Assistant to full operation.</li>
<li> Fix the Fancy Date file property so that it saves. </li>
<li>Fix formatting error in po files project-id line.</li>
<li>[simple-business-create.py] Overwrite an existing file instead of crashing.</li>
<li>Update github action package versions.</li>
<li>Add parsing mixed number and fraction (e.g. 10 1/2) to the gnc_numeric string constructor.</li>
<li>Bump minimum cmake version to 3.14 and drop some conditionals for older versions </li>
<li>Major speedup in the SQLBackend by replacing C++ exceptions with std::optional for null values.</li>
<li>Refresh the GUI on completion of the import matcher so that the imports are immediately reflected in the register.</li>
<li>Improve online quote retrieval error reporting.</li>
<li>Test loading and saving XML files with and without compression</li>
<li>[import-main-matcher] always defer_bal_computation during import to speed up both importing new transactions, and destroying existing ones. </li>
<li>GncGtkListUIItem::set_option_from_ui_item: Iterate over selected items Instead of all possible items. </li>
<li>Convert gnc-ofx-import.c, import-parse.c, import-utilities.c, import-format-dialog.c, import-account-matcher.c, import-commodity-matcher.c, import-settings.c, import-pending-matches.c, import-match-picker.c, import-main-matcher.c, and gnc-pricedb.c to .cpp</li>
<li>By default, filter out online_wiggle in test-gnc-quotes. Running ./bin/test-gnc-quotes from the command line will still include online_wiggle </li>
<li>Replace yahoo_json with alphavantage in test-gnc-quotes. yahoo_json is too unstable.</li>
<li>Include timezone in price-quote date diagnostic messages.</li>
