The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.9, the tenth release in the
stable 5.x series.
Between 5.8 and 5.9, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 724745 - Added new transaction during reconcile, didn't show up
in reconcile window.
• Bug 797045 - Improve error reporting for bad credentials with MySQL backend ("bad or
corrupt data" => "access denied")
• Bug 798568 - Transaction Copy/Paste problem
• Bug 799308 - sqlite backend: Example Python script prints error when
creating new file.
• Bug 799370 - Transaction Journal view cursor placement after commit
to transaction change.
• Bug 799384 - Reconciled date cannot be parsed.
• Bug 799389 - Crash when removing an account
• Bug 799391 - Transaction Cut/Paste doesn't move the transaction to
the target account
• Bug 799395 - relative date offset quarters occasionally wrong
• Bug 799399 - Windows Keypad decimal locale error
• Bug 799416 - Post invoice: post to account dropdown listbox too small
• Bug 799419 - Intermittent quote price issue
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
• Add YH Finance (FINANCEAPI) API Key to Quotes infrastructure with a
preference in the Online Quotes page and add financeapi to known sources.
• Move copied_class and copied_leader_guid
Move static copied_class and static copied_leader_guid to be part of the
copied_item structure. This makes it more evident that calling
clear_copied_item needs to be called before copied_item is used.
• [gnc-datetime] improve CSV date parser with ICU and Boost.
• Add dateformat "Locale" with ICU; uses current locale for date parsing. ICU's
locale date parser may parse "3 May 2023" or "2024年9月13日" (LC_TIME=zh_TW.utf8) and maybe
others.
• Augment d-m-y m-d-y and y-m-d with boost UK/US/ISO parsers. This allows CSV import of dates with
months as words as "30 Sep 2023" or "May 4, 1978" or "2023-Dec-25". Note boost parser
cannot recognise 2-digit years, therefore "30 Sep 24" is invalid.
• Csv Import - improve assisant's introduction page
• Correctly handle uncommitted edits when opening a file from history.
• Don't use gnc_difftime and deprecate it because it casts time64 to
doubles
• [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_substitute_commodity
• [gnc-pricedb.h] remove unused gnc_pricedb_lookup_at_time64

German AQBanking Users:
The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code finalized
so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the last
stable version, 6.5.4. The GnuCash nightly builds have beta releases with the
new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable AQBanking
doesn't work for you.

Getting GnuCash as source code
If you want to compile GnuCash 5.9 for yourself, the source code can be
downloaded from:
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnucash/gnucash%20%28stable%29/5.9/gnucash-5.9.tar.bz2
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnucash/gnucash%20%28stable%29/5.9/gnucash-5.9.tar.gz

https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/5.9/gnucash-5.9.tar.gz
To compile GnuCash from the source code by yourself, you will need at least
Gtk+ 3.22.30, Guile 2.0.9, Boost 1.67, WebKitGtk 2.4, GoogleTest 1.8.0, cmake
3.14.5 and SWIG 3.0.12. Please consult the README.dependencies file in the

and may be found on the development server under the locale directory; "C" is English,
"de" is German, and so on.
The documentation is included in the MacOS and Windows application bundles.
If you want to compile the GnuCash Documentation 5.9 for yourself, the source
code can be downloaded from:
Sourceforge:
