What's New in GnuCash 2.2.0?
This release has only a few user-visible new features, except for the completed port to the Microsoft Windows operating system. In summary, the following features are new, compared to the older 2.0.x series:
* Port to Microsoft Windows completed.
* Data file notice: In version 2.1.2 the format for scheduled transactions in the data file was changed. Files using the old format will be read without problems by this new version, but the new version of GnuCash only writes the new format. The new file format cannot be loaded by older versions of GnuCash. (If you try, the file will fail to be loaded with an error message.) As a result, if you begin using the new Gnucash, and you have data files with scheduled transactions, then these files will not be readable by older versions. If you have to make a new data file readable by older versions of GnuCash, this can be achived by deleting all records of scheduled transactions in the scheduled transaction editor.
* SWIG is now used instead of g-wrap for providing language bindings.
* The Scheduled Transaction list view is now improved and summarized more compactly. The Since-Last-Run dialog has been simplified.
* Check printing has been improved, with new formats and simpler format descriptions.
* Automatic saving of the data file was added
Bugfixes and improvements since the last version 2.1.5 include:
* Updated translations
* Improved DLL handling on Windows
* Improved handling of Online Banking on Windows
