• Bug 799224 - Import of QIF gets Bug detected during duplicates (partial fix: If the new-splits object is null, it means the new account tree from the current import has no splits. Therefore the (apply min|max dates) will fail. Omitting the date query is a simple fix to prevent crashing. This is a partial fix because the crash is likely a symptom of another bug which causes the new account-tree to be empty.

Fixes and improvements not associated with bug reports:

• Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend.
• [gnc-dense-cal.c] sx popup: show date in preference (cf.locale) format because the date format preference is user-facing and customisable. it's jarring if the preference is dd/mm/yyyy and the display shows mm/dd/yyyy in accordance to the locale.
• Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction.
• Date parsing efficiency improvements.
• Update minumum Python version to 3.8, made necessary by updating the C API in the Python bindings.
• Replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig. distutils is not present in Python 3.12.2.

• Allow sorting of the transaction column in the Since Last Run dialog by schedule name or occurrence date. To sort by schedule name, a schedule name is first selected and then the column header is pressed to change order. To sort by occurrence date, a date is selected and then the column header is pressed to change order based on the date of the first occurrence. A tool tip has been added to indicate the sort order being used.
