Download GnuCash 3.7

Version 3.7 of GnuCash has been released. GnuCash is a cross platform and open source accounting program for individuals and small businesses. It uses the double-entry bookkeeping system and is able to easily keep track of, for example, bank accounts, investments, income and expenses, budgets, mortgages and loans and can of course create reports and graphs. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Between 3.6 and 3.7, the following bug fixes were accomplished:

• Bug 605602 – precision of Financial Calculator seems to depend on locale
• Bug 746937 – Template transaction splits are loaded in reverse order and then not sorted before saving.
  Actually not sorted after loading because the template accounts weren’t being committed.
• Bug 752395 – Start Day of weekly report doesn’t respond to change in locale
  Redefines some functions to ensure weekly grouping in transaction report obeys locale’s start-of-week.

  Upgrade the split table as well, an oversight from the original fix.
• Bug 793018 – Balance (with >>eguile<
• Bug 795251 – googletest detection cannot be overridden
• Bug 796819 – bad icon with Spanish localization
  Temporary fix for Farsi, which was affected, too. As it is maintained by TP, the final fix has to come from them.
• Bug 796952 – Report formatting (justify) is broken
  Preveious patch reverted and replaced with a more correct one.
• Bug 797085 – Import Bills & Invoices – headers not translated.
  Make strings translatable. Translators: This adds 22 new translatable strings.
• Bug 797158 – gnc:make-account-sel-limited-option is not working
  Option was being deliberately reset to default_value every time.
• Bug 797279 – Reports RTL do not support RTL
  Fix guile-2.0 string handling to prevent munging unicode in report-titles etc. while loading/saving reports.
• Bug 797295 – problems with entering swedish åäö in company address
• Bug 797297 – GNUCash is in English even though MacOS is set-up to French.

• Bug 797353 – Add copyright and release info in appdata file
• Bug 797355 – General Journal report seems to be off balance
  Previously, for general-journal, each split was being analyzed, and only the source split was counted for totals. This change will means the source split *and* its peers were accounted for.

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

• New feature: Multiselection in the import transaction matcher. Use control-left-click, shift-left-click, or click-and-drag to select multiple unmatched transactions to match them with a single account, then right-click to bring up a single-item context menu sith “Assign Transfer Account “.
• Set a FinTS product version key when the installed AQBanking supports it.
• Change translatable strings with context to use the modern gettext three-parameter function instead of the ‘:’ hack.
• Stop duplicate entries for the invoice taxable cell.
• Do not log an error when no default tax tables are set.
• Fix cmake dependency tree so that make/ninja check works without having to first run make/ninja.
• Remove the accelerator for the Clear buttons on the Loan Calculator because they were all the same and also the same as the Close button’s accelerator.
• Change the transfer account notation for single-split transactions in basic view from “–Split Transaction–” (they’re obviously not) to “None”.
• Correctly parse decimal values ​​between 0 and -1 (eg -0.5) in register caclulations: The negative sign was being stripped.
• Require CMake 3.5 or later for all platforms.
• Rework the building of libgtest.a from source when the builder sets GTEST_ROOT or the distro doesn’t provide a pre-build one.
• Fix crash when trying to display a tooltip in the register split view when a split has focus.
• Fix repeated requests to create a new account when you click No.
• Suppress bogus error when creating a new account from register split view.
