We've begun the 2.7 testing cycle and we're hoping to release 3.0 sometime in the first quarter of 2018. The final part of the 2.7 release schedule leading up to that will depend on how quickly polishing up the remaining rough edges proceeds and how many bugs users find in early testing.

General Rules

  • Usually stable versions are released at the last weekend of a quarter.
  • String freeze is 2 weeks before. To publish 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:
