General Rules

  • Usually stable versions are released at the last weekend of a quarter.
  • String freeze is 2 weeks before. To pubish the changed messages to Weblate a make pot; msgmerge … as described in Language_Administration#Program is required.
It is also a good opportunity for packagers to check for Dependency Updates.

Goals for 6.0

Goals for 6.0:

  • Rewrite engine to remove dependencies on GLib/GObject using C++
  • Migrate from QofQuery to SQL Query
  • Make KVP a backend implementation detail; no direct KVP access except in the backends
  • Limit use of Guile to reports and F::Q; all other main application code should be C or C++.

We plan to release GnuCash 6.0 in Spring 2026 with unstable testing beginning in January 2026:
