Between 4.6 and 4.7, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

  • Bug 87847 - RFE: Create a 'checkbox' cell type
  • Bug 766052 - Job report payments wrong when payment contains splits
  • Bug 797596 - New-owner - improved representation of payments with multiple non-APAR splits
  • Bug 798142 - Tax rate appears as a fraction
  • Bug 798180 - Update to macOS Big Sur 11.3 breaks Finance Quote
  • Bug 798205 - 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.
  • Bug 798208 - management fee transactions are ignored on OFX import
  • Bug 798211 - Equity statement double calculates unrealized gain
  • Bug 798219 - apply/OK truncates exchange rates from 4 to 2 decimal places; enter doesn't
  • Bug 798221 - Transfer funds between accounts with different currencies crashes Gnucash on macOS
  • Bug 798224 - Scheduled transactions are created with date-entered copied from the template transaction.
  • Bug 798229 - GncDate::c_formats is being created and destroyed twice resulting in a double free crash on every exit.
  • Bug 798234 - Cut Transaction discards the reference to the description/memo strings so that Paste Transaction will paste uninitialised data (or other strings)
  • Bug 798235 - Reconciliation Ending Balance not recalculated the 2nd and subsequent times Statement Date is updated.
  • Bug 798237 - Logging during XML file loading degrades performance significantly
  • Bug 798238 - "New security" dialog doesn't save the "Display symbol"
  • Bug 798250 - Gnucash permanent hang on save while loading report
  • Bug 798256 - Crash in recnFinishCB
  • Bug 798298 - Re-imported transactions no longer ignored
  • Bug 798303 - account list is sorted wrong by amount
  • Bug 798312 - Opening the help for dialogues in the wrong language.
