The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.13, the twelfth maintenance
release in the 2.6-stable series. Please take the tour of all the new features.
Changes
Between 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 637004 - Optionally allow customer and vendor address info to display.
Bug 736352 - Expense Voucher adds tax automatically.
Bug 748983 - Crash after opening money transfer dialog twice.
Bug 760021 - File "Save As" to an existing file...overwrites without
warning.

Bug 765859 - The budget reports missing in Hungarian edition
Bug 766028 - crash on manual addition of price entry in Price Editor.
Bug 766200 - Three-up printing does not position the third check properly.
A few bugs in the calculation of check positions while printing checks have
been corrected. If you manually edited the check formats to compensate for
these positioning errors in previous versions of gnucash, you may have to undo
these changes. Please check this before printing your next check.
Bug 766688 - Minimal fraction of BYN should be 1/100.
Bug 766960 - gnucash-make-guids fails to run due to hardcoded paths.
Bug 767824 - Some UTC timezones incorrectly recognized on Windows 7
Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
The gnc_gui_refresh_all statement in gnc_book_options_dialog_apply_cb
causes the 'apply' and 'OK' buttons to be set to sensitive on the open Book
Options dialog in some circumstances; this commit causes them to be reset to
insensitive, as they should be.
Check printing: make logic easier to follow.
Fix adjust_sql_option_string test on Windows.
Don't try to compile test_adjust_sql_options on windows, it won't link.
Fix the CMake build by linking gnc-backend-dbi for test-backend-dbi.
Improved adjust_sql_options_string, added tests.
Improve quickfill performance on huge registers.
Mac Localization: Prefer the country to the language for fall-back locales,
on the theory that in countries where multiple languages are in use similar
date and number formats will apply regardless of language, and especially that
the default currency will be the same regardless of language. Also ensure that
the specified language is in the list passed to gettext; the net effect of
which is that the user will effectively get the requested localization behavior.
Update README to refer to wiki Submitting_Patches and regarding pull
request policy.
Translation Updates: Dutch, Russian, Serbian
Standard Chart-of-Accounts Localizations Updates: Finnish, Sweden_Finnish, and
Åland Islands Finnish.
Important update notification
If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to
remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work
properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in
your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.
Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change
your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.
