- Update to version 2.6.0 (bnc#858502):
+ New Major release, see
http://gnucash.org/2.6-release-tour.phtml for a tour through
the new features.
+ Preferences have been migrated from GConf to GSettings.
+ New date handling which allows GnuCash to use dates after March
2038.
+ Guile-2 compatibility: GnuCash now requires either Guile-1.8 or
Guile-2.0.
+ Documents outside of GnuCash, images of receipts for example,
can now be linked to transactions, with the facility of opening
them in the default application for the document type.
+ Cutsom Reports can now be saved without renaming the report,
and modifications can overwrite an existing report.
+ The import assistant now finishes much more quickly after
assigning contra-accounts.
+ GnuCash now requires Gtk+-2.24.0 and GLib-2.26.0. Most of the
dependencies on obsolete libraries have been removed; only
libgnomecanvas remains. Unfortunately the effort to rewrite
the register code to use GtkTreeModel wasn't completed in time,
so GnuCash is not on the cusp of converting to Gtk3.
+ The Business Module has been substantially revamped, including
support for Credit Notes and import of customers and vendors
from a CSV file.
+ The Num field in the register display is now optionally
per-split, so for example a check number can be entered for the
checking account split and an invoice number for the expense
account split.
+ GnuCash can now open locked books read-only so that more than
one user can view a file. GnuCash still does not support (forwarded request 214444 from Zaitor)
