What's New
Version 2.4.10:
[Bug #667900] no clipboard editing in Release 2.4.9 Update Gtk+ to 2.24.8 for Windows, to pick up da756d51 (win32: fix gdk clipboard).
Turn on AQBAnking 5 in 2.4 branch.
[Bug 666849] Non-privileged user first run trouble The problem is that the first run was creating the slib catalog. This introduces a script to do that as part of installation, guaranteed to be run as an admin user.
Update xml file backend to recognize a newer version file on load attempt, not load, and alert user of need to upgrade Gnucash.
Reports: Make report Budget Flow 100% translatable
Update txf.scm in stable branch to reflect changes to US Income Tax Forms and Schedules for 2011.
[r21867]Reverse the test for HAVE_DBI ac_cv_header_dbi_dbi_h is set only if want_dbi is true, so testing for != no succeeds if dbi isn't enabled -- which is not what we want.
[21860]Bug #667417 - Fix build with glib 2.31.x Patch by Vincent Untz
[21840] Add dependency on qofbook.h for swig generated file. Otherwise the old generated file complains about a missing declaration from r21832.
The following languages had their translations updated: Lithuanian, Finnish, German.

"The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.9, the eighth bug fix release in a series of stable of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software. With this release series, GnuCash can use an SQL database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL."
This is a full featured accounting tool. The most common complaint is that it is too complex for personal use, only suited for business use, but I've been using it successfully for ten years now (starting on Linux and migrating to Mac years later).
It is focused on double entry accounting, and as such, every transaction has a category or balancing transaction. This is similar to notions that other accounting tools offer, but there is no effort here to hide the accounting.
Budgeting features exist, but I've never used them.
The stock and mutual fund tracking features are reasonably good and includes online retrieval of quotes. If the financial institution supports some well known standards, it can retrieve transactions online, including reconciliation with already entered items.
On the downside, the mutual fund basis calculation is obtuse and I've never managed to figure out what I'm doing wrong to get the basis to report correctly. The importer, while nice, could do with more memory functions and better matching.
I have experienced some minor stability issues, especially when trying to modify or enter transactions. Lately, some pop-up windows are focus demanding, but they appear under the window that called them, making it hard to understand why I can't click on the window in front of me. That should be an easy fix and is hopefully corrected in this new version.
The importer can handle both QIF and OFX files, so even if automatic retrieval isn't an option, it can import a downloaded transaction file. I use OFX because of limitations of the QIF format of old.
The new SQLite backend is speedier than the old XML backend, a nice improvement.
