The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.1, the second release in the stable 5.x series

Between 5.0 and 5.1, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

  • Add filters to the File>Open dialog in File mode to show only files with GnuCash extensions, only those matching GnuCash's backup file pattern, or any extension.
  • Select the first result in the Customer/Vendor search box. This allows faster keyboard navigation -- Find Customer, input search string, press ENTER, use up/down to select desired object, press ENTER to open object.
  • Improve foreign currency handling in budget report
  • Improve handling of the blank transaction when the register is sorted in reverse:
    • Change the preference option 'Future transactions after blank transaction'
    • Change tooltip for 'Blank Transaction' in register to mention moving to the blank transaction.
    • Show the blank transaction at top of register
  • Prevent infinite recursion from gnucash_item_edit_focus_out when using an input method.
  • Create obsolete features list with first member book_currency.Obsolete features set in the book will be removed from the book's KVP and ignored.
  • Restore existence, but not implementation, of GNC_FEATURE_BOOK_CURRENCY.

    At least one user has managed to get it set on their book so even though it was supposed to be unimplemented it got through somehow. Restoring it allows books with it set to load.

  • Offer to force edit non-identical fields when multiple matches are selected in the import matcher window. Previously only identical Desc/Notes/Memo were unlocked for editing.
  • Guard against there being no namespaces in the new security dialog
  • Fix Finance::Quote use on Win32 by dealing with Win32 \r\n newlines on return from finance-quote-wrapper.
  • Fix some menu labels that were not marked for translation
  • Fix category in CSV export with simple layout.

    If Trading accounts is enabled, and the transaction is a transfer between two accounts of differing commodities, the CSV simple-layout export would incorrectly show "--Split Transaction--" as the category.

  • When configuring Guile use pkg-config before searching for binaries.

New and Updated Translations: Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, English (Australia), English (New Zealand), English (United Kingdom), Estonian, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian
