Log Message:
Update to 2.6.0

Changelog:
2.6.0 - 29 Dec 2013

       The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.0,
       the latest stable release of the GnuCash Free Accounting
       Software. GnuCash Users can experience the following new features:

       * Preferences have been migrated from GConf to GSettings. This
         is a simpler and more robust backend which writes to the OS's
         native prefs -- defaults on OS X and the Registry on
         MSWindows -- and allows us to remove several troublesome
         dependencies including GConf, ORBit, and DBus. The change
         includes a migration script that will run at Gnucash startup.

       * 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
         multiple simultaneous writers.

       * By agreement of all authors, GnuCash is now licensed under
         the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later rather than
         simply Version 2. This allows derivative works to be licensed
         under the GPL Version 3 if the author of such a work so
         desires.

       * Fixed more than 500 bugs.

       For those keeping score, the following changes have occurred
       since 2.5.10:

       Bug Fixes:

       Bug 157247 - Asset account's "total" value should use most
                    recent transaction prices
       Bug 710823 - libofx can supply broken UTF-8 for account id
       Bug 710824 - GnuCash should sanitise UTF-8 before serialising files
                    to avoid writing broken unparseable XML.
       Bug 720555 - General Ledger - Can't Enter Transaction Amounts
       Bug 720556 - The Tip of the Day preference isn't getting saved
       Bug 720646 - New Book Tabs on Windows

       Other Changes:

       * Don't create a second account hierarchy page when cancelling
         the Hierarchy Assistant or when using Actions->New Account
         Hierarchy on an already open book.

       * Reset Warnings dialog: show translated warnings

       * The locale-names for Help and the Tutorial and Concepts Guide
         have been renamed to language-only so that, for example,
         someone using the Swiss-German locale will be shown help in
         German instead of English.

      Translations Updated: British, Dutch, French, Italian, Lithuanian.

2.5.10 - 15 December 2013
         This is the eleventh and final release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
         It is the second beta release. Barring any surprises, we will release
         a STABLE 2.6.0 on 29 December.

         Changes since the last release have been entirely bug fixes
         and translation updates, though not all bug fixes had
         associated bug reports. Note that WebKit 1.2 is now tested
         for in configure; it had been 1.0, but GnuCash wouldn't
         actually compile with versions earlier than 1.1.5.

         Bug Fixes:

         Bug 336843 - Attach images/files/urls to transactions:
            Disable the "show attachment" menu item if the transaction
            has no attached file.

         Bug 619478 - Build warning in html/gnc-html-webkit.c
         Bug 627575 - Stylesheet names with non-alphanumeric characters
             and saved-reports
         Bug 630578 - current date instead of posting date in exchange rate,
            when posting a bill
         Bug 632588 - Scrub doesn't fix missing currency
         Bug 639371 - Welcome Sample Report reports wrong version and
            has a broken report
         Bug 653594 - wrong amount printed on checks
         Bug 705714 - QIF Import - File selection pop-up is not on top
             during qif import
         Bug 708526 - GnuCash Crashes when opening About page:
             Downgrade the error to a critical warning.
         Bug 711317 - Indian Rupee Symbol appears as "?" marks
         Bug 715123 - Post invoice problem, cannot unpost
         Bug 719481 - GnuCash report crashes with Guile2
         Bug 719521 - Missing radio button in "Edit security" dialog
         Bug 719726 - Click on File -> Open seg-faults
         Bug 720235 - Python bindings should load environment file just
             like gnucash does
         Fix Python tests to no longer require gsettings schemas installed.
         Fix the CuteCash (Qt GUI based) build
         Multi-currency "Post invoice" improvements
         Protect gnc_mktime against bad dates.
         Protect against null account pointers in a couple of place to
             avoid asserts.
         Qif Import Assistant: Don't disable the whole dialog, just the
             Forward button
         QifImport: Fix crash from attempting to import an empty file.
         Add the ability to search for transactions that are, or are not,
             book closing entries.
         Move customer, bill, and invoice importers form the business menu
             to the file menu.
         Rename some directories in src/import-export so that the
             gschema.xml.in.in files within them don't have pathnames that
             are too long for tar when the GnuCash version exceeds 5 digits
             (e.g., 2.5.10).

         Translation Updates: Italian, German, French
         New Translations: Arabic!

2.5.9 - 1 December 2013
         This is the tenth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.
         It is the first beta release.

         Barring any surprises, there will be one more beta release in
         two weeks, followed by the release of 2.6.0 on 29 December.

         Changes since the last release have principally been code
         cleanup, including KVP storage in the SQL Backend, Python
         testing in out-of-source builds, test failures when using
         Guile-2, ensure that saved state (especially KVP) is deleted
         along with the primary object, use the progress bar when
         loading the PriceDB.

         Translator note: We found it advisable to correct some typos
         and to add two translatable strings "Bill Information" and
         "Voucher Information".

         Bug Fixes:
         644044 - Lots: SQL backend loses link to Gain/Loss Txn
         704506 - Connection loss to mysql after resume from hibernation
         707311 - Tax Invoice fails to open when using guile 2
         710871 - Python site-packages not found when not installed to
                 default location using --prefix
         710905 - Column withs, visibility, order and sort order not saved
                 and restored
         711289 - time zone handling is inconsistent between 2.4 and 2.5
         712299 - Tax Invoice with guile 2 doesn't display currency symbols
         715041 - Crash opening a file when a file is already open.
         715184 - Bill or Invoice; a new Bill gives a new Invoice
         719471 - Unused commodities saved to XML file

         Translations updated: German, Italian

 2.5.8 - 17 November 2013

         This is the ninth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series. This
         release is the last alpha release.

         String and feature freeze are now in effect: Only bug fixes
         which have no effect on UI, API, or translatable strings
         should be committed to trunk until after the release of
         GnuCash 2.6, currently scheduled for 29 December 2013.

         Translators: Please use the tarballs from this release to
         prepare your translations.

         New contributor Patrick has provided a beginning
         implementation of linking attachments to transactions. This
         is accessed through the Transaction menu and the transaction
         context menu. In this initial version, linked files are
         displayed in the default viewer for the file type. E.g., html
         files will open in a browser and jpegs will open in the
         default picture viewer.

         Bug Fixes:
         707311 - Tax Invoice fails to open when using guile 2
         709589 - make check fails with guile 2
         711289 - Time Zone Handling is Inconsistent between 2.4 and 2.5
                 Partial fix that may also correct 699997
         711294 - Gnucash repeatedly ask associated income account
                 when import qfx file. Patch by Kuang-che Wu 
<kcwu%csie.org@localhost>

         711493 - Fix unselected account that is NULL

         Translations Updated: German

 2.5.7 - 3 November 2013
         This is the eighth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.

         Register2 is now a configure option. Default builds,
         including the Windows and Mac All-in-one packages, will use
         only the old register. We've decided that it isn't ready for
         general use and the principal author doesn't have time to
         make it ready in time for a 2.6 release.

         Frédéric Perrin has contributed a change to display currency
         symbols whenever they are known and unambiguous.

         Geert Janssens has cleaned up most of the issues from the
         initial GSettings preference changes. There's a new
         configure option, --with-xdg-data-dirs to overide the
         environment and defaults if necessary.

         Building Gnucash now requires Automake version 1.11 or later.

         Configure will abort if --enable-ofx is set but no libofx
         configuration files are found.  Budget periods may no longer
         set to values greater than the budget's num_periods, and the
         budget options descriptions will wrap. Contributed by Robert
         Ratliff.

         Bug Fixes:

         668530 - In budget flow report options, change the maximum
               value for period to 60 (Note the FIXMEs) Author: Robert
               Ratliff
         687478 - Bills due reminder doesn't work well with credit notes
         687479 - Automatic invoice/payment matching on posting an
               invoice should be an optional feature
         693244 - View Lots window enhancements
         708659 - Totals column moves to right hand side when periods are added
               Remove unneeded gnc_plugin_page_budget_refresh_cb
               Author: R Ratliff
         710055 - advanced portfolio report counts capital gains split
               as dividend. Author: Jason McCarty <jmccarty%sent.com@localhost>
         710311 - Missing ChangeLogs
         710739 - Fill in field for remote bank account information
               also for SEPA transfers.
         710871 - Fix for Python site-packages not found when not
               installed to default location
         710979 - Crash in gnc_plugin_page_invoice_summarybar_position_changed

         Translations Updated: None

 2.5.6 - 7 October 2013
         This is the seventh release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.

         Geert Janssens has rewritten the preferences system to use
         GSettings from GIO (GLib) instead of GConf. This is a simpler
         and more robust backend which writes to the OS's native prefs
         -- defaults on OS X and the Registry on MSWindows -- and
         allows us to remove several troublesome dependencies
         including GConf, ORBit, and DBus. The change includes a
         migration script that will run at Gnucash startup.

         WARNING: the saved settings in gconf are not (yet) migrated
         to gsettings !  running gnucash as of this commit will start
         you with default values for all preferences !  You can of
         course change your preferences, your changes will be saved
         properly in gsettings and restored when you restart
         gnucash. But what has been set in GConf before will basically
         be ignored.

         Bug Fixes:

         Bug 632362 - Unable to create "reversing transaction" again
         after it is removed

         Bug 654196 - "make check" fails when built with --enable-dbi

         Bug 674862 - 2038 bug in libdbi

         Bug 682280 - bill/invoice importer fails to save imported bills/invoice

         Bug 684670 - Interest amount calculation is wrong in Sqlite3 format

         Bug 699450- New budgets cause Account Name column to expand
         until display bigger than screen. -- Robert Ratliff
         <ratliff.bobby%gmail.com@localhost>

         Bug 708700 - "make check" fails (missing glib bits)--
         Frédéric Perrin <fred+gnome%resel.fr@localhost>

         Bug 704039 - time zone is not respected in Windows -- Thanks
         to Kuang-che Wu <kcwu%csie.org@localhost>

         Translations Updated: Dutch

 2.5.5 - 10 September 2013
         This is the sixth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.

         No new features are added in this release.

         Bug Fixes:

         334939 - Account Report and Account Transaction Report are
         apparently the same, but different. Change menu entry for the single
         transaction Account Report from "Accout Transaction Report" to
         "Account Report - Single Transaction" Author: Carsten Rinke

         603183 - Equity statement shows incorrect changes
         Add function gnc:account-get-total-flow to report-utilities.scm
         This function filters the splits from the source to the target accounts
         and returns a commodity collector.
         It does NOT do currency exchanges. Export the new function
         gnc:account-get-total-flow from report-utilities.scm. Apply the new
         function gnc:account-get-total-flow for the "Withdrawal" calculation.
         Author: Carsten Rinke

         629136 - Move the code that updates the sensitivity
         of immutable page actions from gnc_main_window_switch_page to
         gnc_main_window_generate_title. Patch by Guilherme Salgado.

         696492 - Change report name in menu or in report output to be
         consistent Change the register name to "Accout Transaction Report"
         when the register type is GENERAL_LEDGER, INCOME_LEDGER, or default

         704039 - time zone is not respected on windows Author: Kuang-che Wu

         704525 - When you have a mix of chart types (bar charts and pie
         charts). Add new procedure gnc:substring-replace-from-to
         Similar to gnc:substring-replace, but offers the possibility to
         replace substrings in a range of occurances. Add calls to
         gnc:substring-replace-from-to to procedure gnc:report-run.
         Filter out all occurances of jquery.min.js and jquery.jqplot.js
         except for the first occurances.  Author: Carsten Rinke

         Translations updated: Lithuatnian

 2.5.4 - 4 August 2013
         This is the fifth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.

         New Features:

         Register2 work: Restore the delete-transaction-up/down
         feature, replace the filter-and-sort model with a qof query
         which loads only a subset of transactions to improve speed,
         and some date and cursor changes.

         Aurimas Fišeras contribued patches to make CSV Account import
         table header translatable, to fix translation of table
         headers, fix dash marker usage, and some other translation
         issues.

         Revert the Bitcoin support until the patch is rewritten with
         a better UI.

         Bug Fixes:
         703897: Functions which can return null always return a Python
          object, Tom Lofts.
         704183: ofx file import tries to match online_id against
          ACCTID[space]ACCTKEY even when ACCTKEY is empty, G. Paul Ziemba
         704185: GnuCash 2.5 doesn't build on FreeBSD

         Translations Updated: Catalan, Danish, Italian, and  Lithuanian

 2.5.3 - 7 July 2013
         This is the fourth release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.

         New Features:
         Save and Save As for custom report templates (Geert Jansens)
         Customized report settings can now be saved without renaming
         the report, and updates saved directly replacing the previously
         saved report or "saved as" to a new name.

         It's now possible to post multiple invoices from the find
         dialog. GnuCash was crashing if you searched for all unposted
         invoices, selected two or more of them, and posted them.
         This was because the list of invoices to be posted changed
         while it was being processed.  As part of fixing this the
         prompt for post date, due date, etc. will only be given once,
         not once per invoice.

         Register2 work: Better commodity/currency handling, sanity checks
         when converting TreePaths, Posted Dates now work like the old Register,

         PostedDate is now recorded only as a date, with no time.

         Peter Broadberry contributed faster versions of several reports.

         Bug Fixes:

         702899: Fix crash in scrubbing code
         703305: Fix crash on entering a non-valid date
         The crash that occurs when duplicating multiple invoices from Find
          results.
         691587: Catch scheme exceptions when converting error messages
         669964: Fix txn creation that forgot to set a txn currency.
         672595: After creation of a new book, make sure to set it to dirty
         700582: Enable online actions in Register2
         Now works with automake 1.13

         Translations Updated: Catalan, Italian, Lithuanian

         including better transaction editing without using the mouse and
         some display issues.

         Sam Morris contributed a patch supporting retrieving Bitcoin and
         Litecoin exchange rates from Mt. Gox with Finance::Quote

         Bug #589865 - Budget flow period doesn't work. Patches by Carsten
         Rinke and Mikhail Tsaplin

         The translation files have been copied from the 2.4 branch.
         Translators may start working on the new strings, though string
         freeze is scheduled for 2.5.5 in early September.

         Translations Updated: Danish, German, Italian

 2.5.1 -  5 May 2013
         This is the second release in the UNSTABLE 2.5 series.

         Robert Fewell has continued his work on the GtkTreeModel register.
         It is now the default for account registers.

         Geert Janssens has begun work on replacing the GConf configuration
         management tool with the newer GSettings API from recent versions
         of GLib.

         Tom Lofts contributed the beginning of a RESTful Python API
         to enable access to minimal account, invoice, and customer

 2.5.0 - 30 Mar 2013

         The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.5.0,
         the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.6.0.

         This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

         Robert Fewell has contributed a rewrite of the ledger
         (Gnucash's primary interface window) to use the GtkTreeModel
         (select "register 2" from the menu) as well as a new CSV
         import/export facility for account trees.

         Gnucash now requires Gtk+-2.24 and GLib-2.26. We've removed
         most of the dependencies on libraries obsoleted by project
         Ridley and will be in position to move to Gtk+-3.x once the
         GtkTreeModel register window work is complete. This means
         that Gnucash 2.5 requires Debian 6, RHEL 6, or one of the
         more aggressive distributions like Ubuntu.

         Gnucash now works with Guile-2.0.

         The business module has been revamped and we introduce a new
         feature, Credit Notes. It is now possible to import customers
         and vendors from a CSV file as well.

         The "Num" field is now optionally per-split rather than
         per-transaction.

         When opening a locked "book" one now has the option of
         opening it read-only. Note that Gnucash is still a
         single-user program and that the database backends are still
         used only as a data store.

         Gnucash is no longer subject to the "2038" bug, so that
         30-year mortgages can now be entered correctly.

         By agreement of all authors we have relicensed Gnucash to the
         Gnu Public License Version 2 or later from just Version 2.
