| | Announcement: GnuCash 1.8.4 Release
- (2003-05-27 03:44:57) |
|
The GnuCash team is pleased to announce the release
of stable version 1.8.4.
What's New in GnuCash 1.8.4?
o Fix transfer dialog to not hang if OK button is clicked w/o filling
in dialog properly.
o Add HTML::Parser to the list of items checked/installed.
o Updated translations: Brazilian Portugese, Czech, Italian, German
o Fix the "View xxxbar" menu items to track properly when a new data
file is opened. Consolidate the code for manipulating the
View/Statusbar and View/Summarybar menu items. Work around a Gnome
MDI bug as best as possible.
o The numeric test regex was broken and would fail on ALL numerics,
causing all imports to be of value zero.
o Fix for creating new template transactions [from Scheduling
existing transactions], such that they have valid Posted dates.
o Fix for existing/old data without posted dates. If we encounter
the condition, fixup the transaction's Posted date to that of the
Entered date.
o Add LOT_IS_CLOSED and LOT_BALANCE query parameter methods
o Fixes for 64-bit architectures.
o Add gncQueryGetBooks() API to return list of books in a query.
o Add INVOICE_POST_LOT query parameter methods
o Add an api to force an event even when events are suspended.
Without such an API, events can be lost if the event system is
suspended when the event comes in.
o Added gnucash wrappers around gnome-print's rotate, translate,
gsave, and grestore APIs. All to allow sideways printing (by
rotating the image).
o Wrap the new print-session apis.
o Modify the AC_GWRAP_CHECK_GUILE() macro to take an argument, the
g-wrap module directory. Then actually test that the g-wrap module
loads. This should detect systems without slib installed.
o New gwrap check macro
o Deal properly when there are no prices for a commodity.
o Supply a start date (as well as an end date) and don't print
invoices that occur prior to the start date or after the end date.
The aging information ignores the start date, but not the end date.
This means the aging information will always be acurate through the
end date (even if all the invoices and payments are not displayed).
o Limit the itemized invoices/payments to the start/end date range,
but print out a "Balance" line if there is a non-zero balance as of
the start date.
o Nikos Charonitakis's account chart updates: added new carloan
account chart, updated account chart.
o Use the correct columns when printing the Gain column, don't reuse
the same column as profit; we want to report different values.
o Don't let the user do anything with the options dialog until
Apply() finishes.
o Had the wrong number of arguments in gnc:account-get-balance-at-date
o Add some (commented out) code to support a start date for computing
the Net Income (aka Net Profit) in the Balance Sheet.
o Move the instantiation of File -> Properties into main-window.scm
(out of business-gnome.scm) for future cases where we might decide to
ship the business modules separately.
o Fix the ofx test program to make sure it links on many weird
platforms.
o When we are asked to reload the report, queue the request, queue a
draw event, and then return immediately. When the draw event
happens, load the report then. This lets you hit Apply and then OK
before the report finishes loading.
o Make sure we can find libofx/libofx.h
o Include split transactions in the filtering of the transaction
report.
o Use a 'from' date to better compute the Net Income on the report.
o Change the default Search Operation for numerics from "less than"
to "equals" -- so by default you would search for an exact value.
o "eval" changed API on guile-1.6. Use the existing API to convert a
delta symbol to a delta time.
o Call eval with the right number of arguments based on early or late
versions.
o Change the date format string to be consistent with other places
(e.g. the check print dialog) and use '%' instead of '~'.
o Make the Bill Due Days option selectable based on the setting of
Notify Bills Due?
o Don't crash if you remove the last entry and then add another one.
o Deal with the case where the first transaction found for a
particular company is a payment
o Also print out any overpayment in the total column.
o Catch errors when running the child reports so we display the
failed report backtrace but also display an error and continue with
the multicolumn report.

| | Announcement: GnuCash 1.8.3 Release
- (2003-05-13 13:15:11) |
|
The GnuCash team is pleased to announce the release
of stable version 1.8.3.
What's New in GnuCash 1.8.3?
o Updated translations: Italian, Swedish, Danish, British,
Traditional Chinese, French, German, Tamil, Brazilian Portugese.
o Turn off the report-total by default
o The Euroland currency rates were inverted in the transfer dialog.
o Chris Morgan's Baysian Matching code, to match transactions based
on Bayesian filtering of previously matched transactions.
o Fix a bug in the account name list when you you filtered down to no
accounts it would ignore the filter.
o The Account Separator option was moved to the Accounts page,
reference correctly.
o Fix the keypress handlers so they work properly for both the text
entry widget and the calendar popup widget.
o Force the cursor to the first line of a transaction split before
disabling "double line" mode in the register. This prevents the
register refresh code from trying to update a cell that is no longer
visible.
o Fix HBCI close-on-finished checkbutton.
o Add descriptions of new HBCI actions.
o OpenBSD fixes by Todd T. Fries
o New report "income vs. day of week" by Andy Wingo
o Fix a couple strings to improve comments when owners and accounts
are missing. Direct the user to select them in the report options.
o When building the "name + address" string, check if the company
name and contact name are the same and, if so, only print one of
them.
o Fix the glade settings so resizing the window will properly resize
the widgets.
o Save the entry cells before adding an it to the invoice, otherwise
it wont get sorted properly.
o Add support in business code for the to-charge amount.
o Don't ask the user in the general case when making changes to
entries. Generally the user should be allowed to make whatever
changes they want without being pestered.
o Guile-1.6 requires empty lists to be quoted.
o Symbols are not strings in guile-1.6.
o Fix "WeekDelta" and add TwoWeekDelta.
o Pop up a dialog if the user tries to transfer from a non-currency
account, and don't let them do it.
o Evaluate the date during get_predicate() in case the user just "hit
return" (and the auto-evaluate didn't happen).
o Fix crash during import of investment accounts.
o Fixes for GCC 3.3 warnings
o Fix HBCI user messages where chip cards were confused with key
files.
o Adapt to latest changes in OpenHBCI CVS.
o Applied Tomas Pospisek's patch to the transaction report.
o Fix the description of gnc:mdi-show-progress.
o Enable changing the "ID" for different business objects.
o Fix the percentage calculations so we don't get GtkCritical
warnings.
o Disable the test-scm-query-import test, since it breaks on
guile-1.6
o Move currency conversion to gnc-pricedb.c
o Improve report for stocks and funds not denominated in report
currency.
o QIF imports don't assume that a date of the form XXXXXXXX is always
YYYYMMDD. Make sure a 4-digit year "makes sense"
o Fix hbci and ofx test for handling --disable correctly.
o Fix openhbci macro again so that it uses a C check program.
o New gnucash-docs release (1.8.1)

| | SERVER BACK ONLINE, SOME DATA LOSS
- (2003-04-30 14:59:36) |
|
The GnuCash.org Server is back online, and should now be fully operational.
However, there has been some data loss: if you subscribed (or unsubscribed)
to any mailing list, between 12 December 2002 and 28 April 2003, your
membership info has been lost. Furthermore, all configuration
info for the German gnucash-de mailing list has been lost.
(My sincerest apologies, Christian). However, most of the mailing list
archives should be intact (possibly excepting Jan-April 2003, which might
be damaged). All web pages should work at least as well as before,
and all FTP site contents have been restored and should be fine.
If you experience problems, please report them to me.
Mail is still not being delivered; investigating
So what happened?
It was the classic server-failure triple-whammy.
This server has RAID disk mirrors to minimize down-time due to a
failed disk, and is backed up nightly in order to safeguard against
catastrophic data loss. Hard-drive status was monitored with
smartmontools and reported regularly with logcheck.
So how could this belt-and-suspenders system be down so long, and
result in lost data before its all over?
Over the last few months, smartmontools was reporting occasional
disk status changes, but none of these seemed to be in the form of warnings,
or had any hint of being dire. At the same time, there were increasing
numbers of status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
messages showing up in the system log. In mid-April, these messages started
showing up at least hourly, and were coupled with the cryptic S.M.A.R.T. messages
(it didn't help that I was running the older, more cryptic smartsuite,
not the new, improved smartmontools). Finally, the server locked
up, waiting for a DMA to complete, that never would. Reboot. Locks up.
Reboot again, locks up (warlord calls by phone to point this out).
I disabled DMA, went to PIO-mode for the disk in question, and things
cleared up. I then made my first thinko: I concluded that one of my hard
drives was on the verge of failing completely (the DMA should have clue-trained
me in). I procured a replacement disk, and then made my second
'operator error': I replaced the failing disk.
My logic was this: there are two disks in the raid array; both are exact
duplicates of each other. Therefore, if I replace the failed disk, the
contents of the good disk will be restored onto the blank disk automatically.
Easy as pie. I've done it many times before. It didn't work this time.
Upon reboot, I got a gazillion fsck'ing errors, the file system was corrupted.
In addition, I was getting a lot of status error: status=0x58
{ DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } from what used to be the 'good' disk.
I plowed on. At this time, I assumed that maybe both disks were bad,
a reasonable assumption; these were the infamous IBM-lawsuit drives.
I guessed that the raid array was hiding the badness from me:
whenever one disk had trouble, the RAID would go to
the other disk, and all was well in the kingdom, even though anarchy seethed
just below the surface. Oh well. I procured a second hard drive, and
replaced that. With more fsck'ing error in the process. Then I notice
that I'm still getting SeekComplete's in the syslog, even with the new
disks. Now, the replacement disks are the same lawsuit-brand and model number
as the old disks, so woe is me, this is my third mistake, I assume, incorrectly,
that its the brand and model number, and get a new third disk. When the errors
don't abate, it suddenly becomes clear that its not the drives, its the
controller or cable).
Now the fun and hacking begin. Stay up til three AM playing the
swap-the-cables-and-reboot game. The failing controller was on the
system planar ('motherboard'), so there is no way to remove it; one
can only play with BIOS settings. But BIOS (and the Linux kernel
shares the blame) has this magic way of renumbering IDE drives when
one plugs in or removes controllers, enables or disables controller
ports, etc. This can be overcome, but is a provides a steady stream
of hurdles to jump: one must boot a rescue diskette first, then
mount, then re-write the boot sector, then reboot, then edit
/etc/fstab, and then try again. Over and over and over.
It didn't help that my rescue diskette didn't have RAID on it:
so that was one more thing to hack around. Finally build
a stable system, and now it comes time to restore the data
files that were fsck'ed out of existence. To restore
/usr, I decide that reinstall of the OS is appropriate.
I then restore the FTP site, which was badly corrupted. Restore
the mailing lists; no problems, only October 1998 was lost and
restored. Restore the website; only minor damage there.
Then restore the mailing list subscriber info in
/var/lib/mailman/lists ... Uhh ... whoops. That directory
was not backed up nightly. I had falsely assumed that
everything in /var/lib/mailman/lists was stuff that could
be recovered by re-installing mailman. I had no idea that it
kept subscriber info there. Mistake number four (number zero?):
this critical directory was not one that was backed up nightly.
I was lucky to find a December 2002 backup of it; it could
have easily been December 2001 and then I really would have felt
sorry. Mistake five: turns out the backup machine had overflowed,
and stopped making backups on 5 April. Fortunately for me, not
much has happened since 5 April. I hope this little story makes
it clear that running a public web site in a professional manner
can sometimes be a walk in the park, and sometimes guerilla warfare.
BTW, yes, every now and then, this server is backed up to an
off-site location, so that if the machine is stolen, or the house
burns down, all is not lost.
Also, BTW, my 'failed' disks are fine: once they were off the bad
controller, the errors stopped. I am still eyeing them with suspicion,
but ...
Some lessons drawn from this, or rather some complaints, are
documented at

| | SERVER OUTAGE: Continuing File System Problems
- (2003-04-29 14:10:54) |
|
The GnuCash Server is continuing to experience an assortment of problems,
whose root cause is a set of failing hard drives and is masked by a faulty
ide controller and/or ribbon cables.
The drives have been replaced, and the ide controller has been replaced.
However, in the process, data has been corrupted, and has not yet
been restored.
The mailing lists appear to be broken,
and I am attempting to fix this. If you subscribed since April 4th,
it is possible that your subscription is lost, and you may have to
resubscribe. Some of the mail archives got corrputed, and are
permanantly lost (they were'nt being backed up due to backup
configuration error). Some of the ftp site may possibly be corrupted,
I haven't yet had the time to restore the ftp site. its possible that
parts of the web site may be corrupted; I haven't yet restored
the web site. Please bear with, things should get fixed in a few days.
If you are curious about the agony of dealing with this, see

OFX and HBCI support has also resulted in an improved
transaction matching system that
more accurately picks duplicate transactions.

GnuCash is the first free software application to support
the German Home Banking
Computer Information protocol which includes statement
download, initiate bank
transfers and direct debits.
- New User Manual and Help:
A brand new user help has been written which focuses on
how to do tasks in
conjunction with a Tutorial and Concepts guide that gives
the user background
information on using GnuCash.
- New Multi-Currency Transaction Handling:
GnuCash no longer requires separate currency exchange
accounts to handle multiple
currency transfers.
- Redesigned Menu's
The GnuCash menu's have been redesigned to conform more
with the new GNOME
Human Interface Guidelines.
Specifically updated in this version;
o Welcome to Release Candidate 3
o Fixed build issues introduced in last release
o Fix compile errors on SuSE 8.0 + 8.1
o Update translations, po/ru.po by Vitaly Lipatov, po/el.po by
ta_panta_rei@flashmail.com
o Ignore certain splits with an "amount" of zero.
o Convert from the old to new symbols for Russian Roubles.
o Invoices change a couple of columns. Enable viewing the "taxable"
entry. Enable viewing all the tax accounts individually.
o Scrub hbci include paths to prevent gcc 3.x compile errors.
o Default the OFX import directory to the directory of the last OFX
file imported, or the user's home dir for the first export.
Remembered across invocations of gnucash.
o Default the save directory to the directory of the last file used.
Default the exports directory to the directory of the last file

dependant load path variable for the SRFI location. (Empty in 1.6
since they're bundled with guile.)
o Limit QIF matches against only the accounts in the old group, so we
don't match against ourselves. This should limit the matches to only
"reasonable" matches.

reported by Christopher B. Browne.

component to it.

The search feature has been fixed (again), and should now work.
Unfortunately, the ranking/relevence of search results
is not very good; we will be looking at other search engines
to see if we can improve this. If you know of any spiders/
search engines with good ranking algorithms, so that e.g. they
will return main site pages before mailing list archives,
and will rank mailing list archives by date as well as relevence,

- (2002-12-18 06:00:41) |
|
The next stable release, 1.8.0, is rapidly approaching, and we need
all language translators to update the message catalogs.
Version 1.8.0 will be based on the development versions 1.7.x,
which contain many new features not in 1.6.x, and thus many
new strings that need translation.
If these translations are not brought up to date, version 1.8.0
will come out with broken or missing translations for many languages.
Now is really the best time to bring translations up to date.

business actions like statement retrieval, bank transfer, or direct
debits can be invoked by any HBCI-compliant client application, i.e. now
also from GnuCash. Authentification and encryption is done through a
bank-issued chip card or a self-generated file-based RSA key pair. (In
the latter case, the user prints out his public key finger print on
paper, signs it, and sends it to his bank.)

The GnuCash Development Team proudly
announces the release of GnuCash 1.6.0, the GNU personal finance
manager.
GnuCash features an account hierarchy creation tool, a checkbook-like
register GUI to enter transactions, and a full set of reports to

configurable main window, a much improved checking and general ledger
entry window, and over ten completely new graphical reports including
pie charts and bar charts using the GNU plot program
Guppi.
Thanks go to all the translators, testers, bug reporters, artists,
and programmers who made this release possible. And thanks to all
our users for choosing GnuCash!
The new release of GnuCash contains many new features including:
Printable, persistent reports (reports are saved between sessions)
XML file format (old binary files are converted automatically)
Account hierarchy creation druid, account hierarchy export
Much improved QIF importing
Financial calculator
Better support for multiple currencies, special support for the Euro
Online stock quotes integrated with the GUI
Expression evaluation (you can type in 40.45 + 31.23)

| Announcement: GnuCash 1.5.98 release!
Note: this is an unstable development release and may be buggy!
Most users should probably stick to version 1.4.12 for day-to-day use.
(All 1.5.x releases will be unstable/buggy. The next stable version
will be 1.6.0).
This is a beta release. GnuCash is now in feature freeze for 1.6.0.

| | Translators Needed!
- (2001-06-01 01:55:25) |
|
The next stable release, 1.6.0, is rapidly approaching, and we need
all language translators to update the message catalogs.
The translatable text strings in 1.5.x have been frozen, we don't
expect any new strings in 1.6.0. However, the text strings in
the current 1.5.x are completely different from those in 1.4.12,
and many new strings have been added since he earlier days of 1.5.x.
If these translations are not brought up to date, version 1.6.0
will come out with broken or missing translations for many languages.
Now is really the best time to bring translations up to date.
