Please review. Title: GnuCash 2.7+ Breaking Change Author: Aaron W. Swenson <titanof...@gentoo.org> Posted: 2018-01-11 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: >=app-office/gnucash-2.7.0
Along with changes to updates to use modern libraries, GnuCash 2.7+ has changed the schema [1] it uses for both databases and files. It is imperative that you back up any files or databases that GnuCash uses in case you run into an issue with 2.7+ and want or need to revert back to 2.6. Instructions for backing up are as follows: For XML (plain files): $ cp /path/to/file.gnucash /path/to/file.gnucash.bak For MySQL: $ mysqldump gnucash_db | mysql gnucash_db_bak For PostgreSQL: $ createdb -U dbadmin -T gnucash_db -O gnucash_user gnucash_db_bak For SQLite: cp /path/to/gnucash/sqlite.file.gnucash /path/to/gnucash/sqlite.file.gnucash.bak [1] https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/tag/2.7.0a
