What’s new in version 5.5-1

Updated on Dec 20 2023

  • Bug 607000 - SLR visible transactions. Change the Since Last Run dialog to show only transactions with a non-empty Status.
  • Bug 792241 - Allow sorting scheduled transactions
  • Bug 798025 - SLR Value entry not tied to location. Disable scrolling and the horizontal scroll bar while an entry has focus.
  • Bug 798760 - SLR OK button to complete value entry. With this change the Since Last Run dialog's OK button will commit an in-progress edit and advance to the next edit requiring input. It will close the dialog only if there are no more edits.
  • Bug 798760 - SLR change reminder with value entry. Change transaction state from Reminder to ToCreate when the user has provided the needed value and clicked OK.
  • Bug 798890 - Printing Problem
  • Bug 799087 - Import - Unbalanced (need acct) transactions now show in red (previously orange).
  • Bug 799090 - Right Clicking scheduled transaction. Ensure that the selection highlight changes to the item under the pointer when right-clicking in the SX Editor.
  • Bug 799092 - GnuCash 5.4 leaves background process running on exit. Clear the schema_hash at app shutdown via gnc_prefs_remove_registered and make that function available to the Python bindings so that python programs can do so too.
  • Bug 799099 - Crash when trying to get quotes
  • Bug 799104 - "Asset Chart" broken
  • Bug 799108 - "Since Last Run" crashes if there are any errors creating a scheduled transaction. Capture errors and display them in a dialog box instead.
  • Bug 799113 - "Start Import" button reports "Failed"
  • Bug 799121 - Parse error on CSV import on MacOS
  • Bug 799130 - split-register.c:1847:gnc_split_register_save: assertion failed: (xaccTransIsOpen (blank_trans))
  • Bug 799134 - Fails to build with GCC 14 ('find_if' is not a member of 'std'; did you mean 'find')
  • Bug 799138 - Port to new Python C config API
  • Bug 799143 - FTBFS on 32bit architectures
  • Bug 799144 - Date Completion is broken after 5.4 upgrade
  • Bug 799148 - Reliable crash when saving a modified saved report configuration
  • Bug 799150 - Can't paste text (with Ctrl+V) in Notes field in Account Tree View
  • Bug 799151 - gnc_date_get_last_mday () does not account for leap years correctly.
  • Bug 799152 - normalize_reldate_tm() does not handle dates with months greater than 11 or less than -11 correctly.
  • Bug 799156 - normalize_struct_tm() does not normalize seconds,minutes, and hours correctly.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
  • Cancel the QIF import instead of inserting the default directory if the user cancels the file-selection dialog.
  • Memory leak fixes
  • Rename the scheduled transaction edit/new/delete menus to resolve a shortcut conflict.
  • Allow saving the sort column in the Since Last Run dialog
  • Ensure that Print Checks obtains for the check amount the sum of all splits in the current register account and subaccounts.
  • Ensure that report page actions are re-enabled after editing options. Some actions (Print, PDFExport, and Report Options) had been left disabled.
  • Ensure GncDateEntry always reverts to today if the user enters an invalid date string.
  • Direct cmake to find the base installed Python3 instead of the latest version installed. Reference Cmake Issue 24126, Cmake Issue 24878, and CMake merge request 8287. Note that this requires CMake 3.20 or later; users of older versions will still get the newest installed Python version.
  • CI: Run distcheck on one workflow to catch quickly instances where someone adds a file but forgets to update the distribution.
  • Primarily of interest to developers: We've added a new CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, Asan, with two options -DLEAKS and -DODR, both of which default to OFF. This creates a non-optimized, with-symbols build with the Address Sanitizer hooks compiled in. While the primary motivation is a CI run to ensure that there aren't any memory allocation errors revealed in the test suite, this is also a useful build to use when debugging a segfault crash, many of which are caused by use-after-free errors. When building on non-Apple platforms -DLEAKS=ON will add leak detection, dumping a stack trace for the allocation of any leaked heap or free-store allocations. Similarly and on non-Apple platforms only -DODR=ON will log violations of the C++ one definition rule.
  • Also of interest to developers: A new cmake option -DCOVERAGE. When on and in a non-optimized build this will instrument the program and libraries to count usage for every source line. The option also adds three targets, lcov-initialize, lcov-collect, and lcov-generate-html. The primary motivation is to assess the completeness of tests in CI, see Coverage-HTML for the latest results.

It's a full-featured app, of that there is no doubt. But, it's very poor when it comes to user experience: headache-inducingly bad. In only a short time of managing several bank accounts and using several of its everyday banking functions I encountered over half-a-dozen glaring issues that really affect its usability. One major issue for me is the paucity of default keyboard shortcuts coupled with an apparent inability to acknowledge custom shortcuts created in the Keyboards prefPane. Another glaring omission is the ability to select more than one transaction in the ledger at a time. I could go on… It'll get the job done, there's little doubt about that, but it'll take considerably longer than it would on a properly integrated native app. If time is money then this app's too expensive…

Gnucash is cool because as a Mac owner you can use .qif downloads from your bank. I used to use an old version of quicken but it wasn't supported on Yosemite, and I didn't think paying intuit every month for cloud access to use their newer interchange formats was worth it. Gnucash can be used with newer interchange formats too. It takes a little getting used to and is not as smooth an interface as most Mac apps, but I am finding it does everything I want and for free! Startup tip- categories and bank accounts are both treated as accounts by Gnucash. Each transaction is added or subtracted from a bank account or credit card account and balanced in the category account.

This is not software for a novice such as myself, no matter how many years they have used a Mac. There is a lot to it, and although the documentation has a great deal of information about every menu item, there is no tutorial or introductory explanation for a novice such as me. For example, I started it up, using all the defaults, and tried to enter a Transaction. But I got an error "This account register is read-only. If you want to edit transactions in this register, please open the account options and turn off the placeholder checkbox." But I could not find any "account options" nor any "placeholder checkbox", so I was not able to use this software. Also its response seems rather slow on my iMac. But if you can figure out how to use it, and do not need any support, probably it will do all sorts of things for you.

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.

It may be good for small businesses but for personal use it is over the top. Buddi is the best application for personal home use.
