David,
I'm on travel this week and can't check on Windows, but GnuCash should both
accept and display 4-digit years in the Register. It does on MacOS. If it's
doing otherwise on Windows that's a pretty serious bug.
GnuCash 2.6 accepted dates from year 1 (that's proleptic Gregorian, actual
European accounts from then would have called it 755 AUC) to 9999 but GnuCash
3.x can handle only dates after 1 January 1400. A common problem for people
migrating is having mistakenly entered a 3-digit date (e.g. 219 for 2019) in
2.6 and having GnuCash 3 fail to load their database because the date is out of
range. That was fixed in 3.2; GnuCash changes the year to 1970.
Regards,
John Ralls
