Log Message:
gnucash: update to 4.6.

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.6, the sixth release in the \ 
stable 4.x series
Between 4.5 and 4.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

    Bug 648335 - Display Created Transactions setting

    Add a preference for the 'Review Created Transactions' setting in the 'Since \ 
Last Run' dialog so that the default can be specified.
    Bug 743753 - Nearest in time security price selection is incorrect in reports

    Add new price source - 'nearest before report date' will ignore prices \ 
*after* report date.
    Bug 743999 - Deleting a digit from an existing number greater than four \ 
digits in length generates an error message.

    Because the grouping is off. Checking grouping on input is pointless so just \ 
ignore the grouping separator when parsing number input.
    Bug 753283 - Current Selection Highlight Lost After Transaction Edit in \ 
Scheduled Transaction Window
    Bug 787813 - Price change from editing a transaction not reflected in pricedb.
    Bug 794877 - Intro text of "Online Banking Setup" is outdated
    Bug 795804 - Extremely slow save

    Only update the status bar when the percentage changes by at least 1% \ 
because running the mainloop is expensive on macOS and Microsoft Windows. This \ 
speeds up all operations that run the progress bar with overly-fine resolution.
    Bug 796761 - Newline (char(10)) is inserted into the end of the string if \ 
copy & paste text from excel into the description field of transaction
    Bug 797787 - Feature request: preference setting to open new tabs adjacent \ 
to currently active tab

    tests preference; if enabled then new tab inserted after current. if \ 
disabled then new tab is at the end.
    Bug 797928 - Since last run asks for security price when no shares traded
    Bug 798093 - Changing the symbol/abbreviation of a security after the \ 
trading account was created breaks GnuCash.(Reopened)
    Bug 798133 - Gnucash crash when any custom action is entered
    Bug 798144 - Reconciliation uses different number than entered

    If a number was pasted into the balance end value with a currency symbol the \ 
number would silently fail on evaluate and cause the wrong value to be used. \ 
With previous changes to the GNCAmountEdit widget a warning symbol will indicate \ 
a validation error and prevents going forward.
    Bug 798148 - "Accounts" page Present (USD) column uses future prices
    Bug 798151 - Value entry box not tied to associated transaction in Since \ 
Last Run assistant
    Bug 798156 - glib 2.68.0 breaks gnucash
    Bug 798159 - Keyboard shortcut bug in 'manage document link'
    Bug 798162 - Type Ahead Initialization Problem
    Bug 798170 - Unbound variable: gnc-budget-lookup when running saved report \ 
Budget Report via gnucash-cli
    Bug 798177 - Price of new stock transactions not saved in price database
    Bug 798186 - Incorrect result editting account in register when overtyping a \ 
part selection.
    Bug 798188 - The Invoice Editor -> Printable Invoice toolbar button \ 
crashes on Windows
    Bug 798196 - not building with Boost 1.76
    Bug 798199 - Pasting invalid value in date column crashes GnuCash
    Bug 798202 - Register input ignores theme on KDE rendering black text on \ 
black background
    Bug 798203 - g_assert fault while reversing transaction
    Bug 798204 - Creation of Imbalance Accounts
    Bug 798212 - right-click the down-arrow in the date register changes focus \ 
to first split

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

    Improve transaction sorting on effective num field so that alpha charachters \ 
and numbers larger than 1 billion will be ordered. Ordering is now numeric for \ 
leading numbers (so that 9 sorts before 10) and lexical beginning with the first \ 
non-numeric character. Note that if one of the values begins with an alpha \ 
character ordering will be entirely lexical. Lexical sorting is localized; as in \ 
the rest of GnuCash only standard ASCII numbers (codepoints U+0030 - U+0039) are \ 
treated as numbers.
    Add import preferences for the difference in time considered when matching \ 
an existing transaction to an imported one. A difference less than the \ 
matching-date-threshold raises the score of the match; a difference greater than \ 
match-date-not-threshold lowers the score.
    Add experimental report "IFRS weighted-average cost basis report". \ 
This is a work-in-progress to help calculate the cost basis of securities priced \ 
in a foreign currency.
    [income-gst-statement] amend headers post Brexit. UK left EU, therefore VAT \ 
headers have now changed.
    Plug a bunch of memory leaks.
    Change how the print_info is obtained for the register: Currently the \ 
register sets up some 'print_info' values using the default account but if the \ 
register is a stock register they should be obtained from a parent account with \ 
a currency.
    Change monetary value for gnc_default_share_print_info: Share values are not \ 
currencies so set the monetary value to 0 for the GNCPrintAmountInfo
    Parse the register monetary cells for a currency symbol: Add the ability to \ 
strip the currency symbol from a registry monetary cell if it is pasted with one \ 
so it can be validated.
    SKR-49 Account Template: Add codes 4500-4504, drop a duplicate, correct code \ 
0674.
    [gnc-plugin-page-register] Disable reverse on blank split
    Make balancing transactions with trading accounts easier by removing and \ 
recalculating all trading splits. This ensures that there will be only one \ 
trading split pair per exchange and relieves the user of having to adjust the \ 
trading splits to match the accounting splits.
    Don't bother scrubbing for orphans if there's no transaction currency. If it \ 
found one it would try to create an orphan account with no currency which will \ 
crash later.
    [chartjs] upgrade chartjs to 2.9.4. Fixes CVE-2020-7746
    [report-core] disallow define-report with incomplete export info. If \ 
exporting is allowed, 'export-types and 'export-thunk must both be defined.
    [test-engine-extras] augment book data generators
    ignore .vscode folder
    Reorder and relabel price source list for better coherence
    Python Bindings: Provide a deprecated GncPriceDB.lookup_latest_before_t64 to \ 
avoid breaking user scripts.
    Update gnucash_core.py with gnc-pricedb function name change
    Change some functions to use const gnc_commodity for gnc_pricedb
    Reformat schedule transaction source files for white space
    Add depreciation warnings for the removal of individual option tool tips
    Remove individual tool tips from radio button options

    Removes the function gnc_option_permissible_value_description
    ESC key was not working on load of Scheduled Transaction Editor
    [budget.scm] show correct tooltip for report option
    [html-acct-table] Remove unused 'pre-adjusting balances option
    Bugfix: export-code for category-barchart reports would fail.

    This stems from trying to handle file-name when calling export code. Export \ 
code no longer require file-name, The export-code returns a string in the \ 
html-document object instead. Remove all file-name handling in reports. No \ 
backward compatibility issues because most users would not copy a GnuCash \ 
>=4.6 report code onto a <4.5 installation.
    [gnucash-cli] improve discoverability of export-type. Formerly, selecting \ 
--export-type EXT would dump the cryptic "Report REPORTNAME has no export \ 
code". Modify to hint the user on acceptable reports with export-code.

New API

    [report-utilities] Functions to dump splits in whole book:
        gnc:dump-book - splits grouped by account
        gnc:dump-all-transactions - splits grouped by transaction
        gnc:dump-split - dumps single split
    Rename a couple of gnc-pricedb functions that have not been used:
        gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_t64 to gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_t64
        gnc_pricedb_lookup_latest_before_any_currency_t64 to \ 
gnc_pricedb_lookup_nearest_before_any_currency_t64
    Add retrieval functions for price before the date given:
        gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_nearest_before_price_t64 that retrieves the \ 
balance using the last price dated before a specified date like today for the \ 
preset value.
        gnc_pricedb_get_nearest_before_price does the retrieval.
