Gnucash 2.4.0 released
Announcement: GnuCash 2.4.0 Release 2010-12-21 GnuCash 2.4.0 released The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.0, the latest stable release of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software. With this new release series, GnuCash can use an SQL database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX. WARNING: You should uninstall any earlier GnuCash version from your system prior to installing 2.4.0. Failing to do so may result in startup errors. In particular on Windows this may cause "Parse error: entry point not found" errors. Major changes in the 2.4.0 release include; * In addition to the XML backend, Gnucash can now use a SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL database to store the data. This is a new implementation using libdbi. It supports all features including the business features. In order to build with this, add --enable-dbi to the configure command. In addition to the libdbi-dev package for your distribution, you will also need the appropriate DBD (libdbi driver) package for sqlite3, mysql or postgresql. * As a replacement for the current GtkHTML HTML engine used to display reports and graphs, Gnucash can use WebKit. WebKit is the engine used by Google Chrome on Windows and Safari on Apple. In order to build with this, add --with-html-engine=webkit to the configure command. You will need an appropriate webkit-dev package. On win32, you will need to download the webkit-1.1.90-win32.zip file from the source repository and put it into the downloads directory of your gnucash build area. * Updated AqBanking on Win32. Getting GnuCash Source code for GnuCash 2.4.0 can be downloaded from: * Sourceforge: bzip2, gzip, all files. * You can also checkout the sources directly from the subversion repository with this command: svn co http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags/2.4.0 gnucash To install GnuCash, you will need Gnome 2, guile, slib. In addition you will need swig if compiling from subversion. Win32 binary The Gnucash 2.4.0 Win32 setup executable can be downloaded from Sourceforge as well. Mac OSX binary The Gnucash 2.4.0 MacOSX package can be downloaded from Sourceforge as well. Changes between 2.3.17 and 2.4.0 include: * User-visible changes * Update copyright notice dates to include 2010 * Use proper decimal separator for monetary amounts * If you have a parent account with a subaccount whose commodity allows more decimal places in the amount field than the parent account does things don't work right if you open a register for the parent account and all subaccounts. This situation can occur if you have a broker account with subaccounts for the securities held in that broker account. If you open a register for the top account and all subaccounts, it is impossible to enter a transaction to buy or sell a fractional share of the security where there are more digits after the decimal point than the parent account allows. This change fixes this if the subaccount allows no more than six digits after the decimal point. * When creating a new style sheet, make sure the name for it is non-empty. * Implement (but currently deactivated) auto-completion in the invoice ledger using all entries from the current book. Eventually, this will enable drawing the auto-completion from all entries in the previous invoices (i.e. book-wide), but in order to give the user a good enough feedback during typing we additionally need a quick-fill object over those book-wide entries. Currently, the user cannot see whether the current description would result in an auto-completion from another invoice, and that's not yet enough. * Implement auto-completion in the invoice/bill entry ledger. * Take a first shot at adding auto-completion in the business ledger, but currently it doesn't do anything yet. * Updated translations or translation-related changes * Updated POTFILES.in * Mark erroneous translation as fuzzy because it doesn't have the correct c-format. * Reverse inadvertent mods to po/POTFILES.in in r19904 * Updated Greek translation provided by Nikos Charonitakis. * Updated Japanese translation, copied from the Translation Project. *

Re: Budget report with a different format
Keith, I don't know anything about that program. I'll look into it, though maybe one of the other developers knows. Phil - I used to be a hypochondriac AND a kleptomaniac. So I took something for it.

The wiki page refers to a non-existent program - gnucash-make-guid. There is a gnucash-make-guids which core dumps when I run it as myself but that works when run as root.

OK. there is a GUID in the PSL Budget Report so I figured you knew how to create them. On , Phil Longstaff wrote: Keith, I don't know anything about that program.

Re: Re: Budget report with a different format
I think I took the budget report, copied the file, then added 1 to the GUID. Phil - I used to be a hypochondriac AND a kleptomaniac. So I took something for it.

Re: Re: Budget report with a different format
The GUID is just a random number. One way to generate it: uuidgen | sed -e 's/-//g' -derek On Wed, December 22, 2010 3:19 pm, Phil Longstaff wrote: > I think I took the budget report, copied the file, then added 1 to the > GUID. > > Phil > - > I used to be a hypochondriac AND a kleptomaniac.
