When 4.0 arrived I was intrigued by the experimental new-owner-report.scm. I had customized the regular owner-report.scm several releases ago, and forward-ported my changes to create a customized new-owner-report.scm that I had working fine with 4.0.
I’ve just installed 4.1 and I saw errors when Gnucash tried to load the report. Comparing that report’s source in 4.0 vs. that in 4.1, I see that uses of “(_” have become “(G_”. I made those corresponding changes in my customized copy and now it seems to be working with 4.1. Now, I understand that experimental reports are just that — experimental — and not guaranteed to work in a future release. But this same change was made in the non-experimental owner-report.scm from 4.0 to 4.1 (and, I assume, other reports — I have not checked). I also freely admit that I’ve customized reports by learning just barely enough about reporting to accomplish what I need, not by mastering all of the reporting infrastructure. So maybe this is something that would be obvious to people with a more thorough understanding of all that. Still, I think anyone who has customized reports will run into this and I was a little surprised seeing a breaking change in a dot release and no release note about it. If there *was* something in the release notes that I’ve missed, I apologize and please point me to it.
