GnuCash 5.17 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.17, the seventeenth release in the stable 5.x series.
Between 5.16 and 5.17, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 797872 - Multiple check printing results in nothing sent to print queue after first check
- Bug 799753 - Reconciliation error when reconciling transactions posted after the reconcile date
- Bug 799772 - Invoice layout: footer should span both columns and header tables should be easier to align/style
- Bug 799774 - Import transaction from CSV skips fields if CSV file has backslash just before final quote in a quoted field
- Bug 799790 - RFE: Always put Debits before Credits for CSV register export (order transaction splits as shown on screen)
- Bug 799791 - Unvoid is not available (Bug from the mailing lists): Use the existence of void timestamp instead of void reason to determine if a transaction is voided. A user can void a transaction without providing a reason.
- Bug 799798 - bringing back the previous tooltip (from 4.x) as a configurable choice: Enable tooltips on line and bar charts to represent individual points as well as all the points on a particular date.
- Bug 799799 - Enhancement - making the tooltip more readable
- Bug 899803 - Split context/category to msgctxt field in gnc-glossary.txt to provide better translation experience Translations aren't changed but are marked fuzzy. Keywords that aren't proper nouns are lower cased, consistent with how words appear in a dictionary.
- Bug 799806 - Locale "C.UTF-8" crashes the Mortgage and Loan Repayment Assistant
- Bug 799813 - gnucash-cli issue for price updates using Postgressql back-end
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Better handling of stocks that have split in the Show Lots dialog: Lot split transactions are hidden and the changes in the amount of the stock are tracked so that the capital gains calculation can determine the correct basis.
- Reformat chart tooltips to improve readability.
- Charts: Add global preferences for marker style and size.
- Charts: Add global preferences for engagement radius, tooltip pointer size, and the position of grouped tooltips.
- Charts: Add option to show only non-zero values in tooltips.
- Cash Flow report: Add option to hide the list of involved accounts at the top of the report …
