The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.10, the tenth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Please take the tour of all the new features.

Changes

Between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Revert the automatic inversion of prices whose value is less than 1.0. This corrects several regressions from 2.6.8 and 2.6.9; it proved to be to big a change for a maintenance branch and will re-appear in the next major release.
  • Fix test failure due to trying to parse nanoseconds, which we don't actually use.
  • Use @shell@ instead of hardcode /bin/sh in test shell scripts. This is a workaround for MacOS X 10.11's System Integrity Protection.
  • Improve the revert action: Ask user confirmation and don't ask to save before reverting.
  • Have a more generic mechanism to set Save action's sensitivity and use it for Revert action as well.
  • Avoid assert in gnc_split_register_balance_trans if default_account is null.
  • Performance improvements in the Cash Flow report.
  • Add new account chart for Duch small businesses.
  • Add some developer documentation.

Important update notification

If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.

Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.
