GnuCash 4.7

What's new in this version:

Fixed:
- RFE: Create a 'checkbox' cell type
- Job report payments wrong when payment contains splits
- New-owner - improved representation of payments with multiple non-APAR splits
- Tax rate appears as a fraction
- Update to macOS Big Sur 11.3 breaks Finance Quote
- Some transactions dropped with no apparent cause or warnings for credit card ofx import
- Do not exclude from import a transaction that has an FITID which matches an already existing split. This is because it (1) may be a coincidence and therefore the transaction needs to be added or (2) could be on a transfer from the account being imported to another bank account which has already been imported, and so needs to be matched, not added.
- management fee transactions are ignored on OFX import
- Equity statement double calculates unrealized gain
- apply/OK truncates exchange rates from 4 to 2 decimal places; enter doesn't
- Transfer funds between accounts with different currencies crashes Gnucash on macOS
- Scheduled transactions are created with date-entered copied from the template transaction.
- GncDate::c_formats is being created and destroyed twice resulting in a double free crash on every exit.
- Cut Transaction discards the reference to the description/memo strings so that Paste Transaction will paste uninitialised data (or other strings)
- Reconciliation Ending Balance not recalculated the 2nd and subsequent times Statement Date is updated.
- Logging during XML file loading degrades performance significantly
- "New security" dialog doesn't save the "Display symbol"
- Gnucash permanent hang on save while loading report
- Crash in recnFinishCB
- Re-imported transactions no longer ignored
- account list is sorted wrong by amount
- Opening the help for dialogues in the wrong language.
- The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Lots of memory-leaks plugged
- Change the preferences path to org.gnucash.GnuCash to comply with flatpak requirements and migrate existing preferences to the new paths. This won't provide for automatic sync between a system-installed GnuCash and a flatpak one unless the system-installed one is GnuCash 4.7 or later. Please see the Wiki for more information and a procedure to convert your existing preferences.
- Cleanup - minimal glib=2.56.1 - drop all conditionals on older versions
- Add code to handle ofx files that include transfers between accounts
- During transaction import, ignore splits whose account is not the destination account
- Do not drop a potential match just because it has an online_id.
- Now that we don't exclude from import a transaction with an FITID that matches an already existing transaction, if one accidentally re-imports a transaction, this allows it to be automatically matched against the previously imported transaction.
- Add test for Transaction GetDate() in python bindings, pursuant to Bug 798284.
- In find customer dialog, add a column for "Shipping Contact" parameter
- Prep early splash screen messages for translation
- Change text for SX preference option 'Review created transactions' to better align with existing SX text.
- Fixed an XML backend problem where trying to open a locked file would clear the lock even if one didn't ask to, so the next attempt would find the file unlocked even if still open in another instance.
- Fix 2 crashes in Generic Transaction Matcher
- Handle very large denominators from Finance::Quote's OpenExchange source
- Update file extension in man pages per mailing list post.

- Changed some option names:
- From "Show Accounts until level" to "Levels of Subaccounts"
- From "Extra notes" to "Extra Notes"
- from "Report title" to "Report Title"
- From "Invoice number" to "Invoice Number" to ensure it matches all other invoice reports.
- Fix missing mnemonic keys after changes to GNCAmountEdit

- With the changes to GNCAmountEdit, the way the mnemonic keys are associated to the entry widget of the GNCAmountEdit needs to change so have created a function gnc_amount_edit_make_mnemeonic_target which does the same as GNCDateEdit.
- Fix rounding in Stock Split Assistant to correct earlier commit that rounded the share price to that of the currency.
- [Portfolio Reports] Allow share digits to 9 decimal places to match the maximum commodity fraction.

- Deprecations:
- Date options with a time of day setting

- Removing the only use, an example in hello-world.scm. GnuCash doesn't use this value in any of its own report options and the feature will be removed in GnuCash 5. Related to bug 798297 Pref "Use 24-hour clock" obsolete?.
- gnc:owner-report-create
- New and Updated Translations: Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Swedish, Ukrainian
