| − | AqBanking3 (and gwenhywfar3) is the most recent library family for online banking by Martin Preuss. It is not source-compatible to aqbanking2. Hence, the current gnucash only compiles and runs with aqbanking2.
| + | As of march 2009 AqBanking 4.x (and Gwenhywfar 3.x) is the most recent library family for online banking by Martin Preuss. It is not source-compatible to AqBanking 2.x. Hence, older Gnucash releases did compile and run with AqBanking 2.x. You can get the most recent AqBanking release from the [http://www2.aquamaniac.de/sites/download/packages.php?package=03&showall=1 AqBanking homepage]. |
| | | | |
| − | These are notes on which tasks need to be completed in order to achieve a full porting to aqbanking3:
| + | This page did describe the necessary changes needed for Gnucash supporting the most recent AqBanking versions. |
| − | | + | Since the release of Gnucash 2.2.7 Gnucash fully supports the newest AqBanking releases. Hence this page is empty now. |
| − | == Already done ==
| + | If you are interested in the gory details of what has been done already, please checkout [http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/index.php?title=AqBanking3_Porting&oldid=4798 this page's history]. |
| − | * Some functions are merely renamed; in gnc-hbci-utils.h line 32 you just have to activate the #ifdef so that the #defines for the renames are being used.
| |
| − | * The AB_Banking_ActivateAllProviders() call is no longer necessary and can disappear.
| |
| − | * The functions using GWEN_XML_Parse are no longer necessary - that job is offered by GWEN_Gui_CGui_GetRawText().
| |
| − | * Instead of only calling AB_Banking_Init(), we additionally have to call AB_Banking_OnlineInit() if we intend to use the online banking features. The former is needed for when we only use the file import facilities.
| |
| − | * The largest sub-task is that aqbanking2 offered in the library a caching of the entered PIN (caching in memory during one session), whereas aqbanking3 doesn't offer this anymore. Hence, gnucash needs to implement such caching itself. In the gnucash-1.8.x series which used the OpenHBCI library (or was it aqbanking1?) gnucash already had such a caching, but it was deleted subsequently because aqbanking2 did this for us.
| |
| − | * Another sub-task is the processing of the data returned from the online jobs. Currently, these are retrieved from the AB_JOB after execution, but in aqbanking3, the AB_JOB won't offer any return data anymore. Instead, the returned data must be retrieved from an AB_IMEXPORTER_CONTEXT. Coincidentally this is already implemented in the file importer submodule of hbci (mt940 import, dtaus import) and only needs to be used from the online-banking parts of the hbci module.
| |
| − | * Another sub-task is that the enqueing of online jobs is not anymore done in a queue which is managed by aqbanking, but instead gnucash has to pass one complete AB_JOB_LIST2 with all the jobs (well, usually only one) to aqbanking. Functionally, this isn't any different from what gnucash currently does, but it's a bunch of type and name changes.
| |
| − | * Another sub-task is that the GUI callback functions are no longer registered via calls to aqbanking functions, but instead via calls to GWEN_GUI_* functions. Functionally, this isn't any different from what gnucash currently does, but it's a bunch of type and name changes only.
| |
| − | * A small task is to hook up our gnucash logging functions into the gwenhywfar logging framework by using GWEN_Gui_LogHook, as Martin pointed out.
| |
| − | * Transactions, Internal Transactions, Direct Debits

| − | == Tasks ==
| |
| − | === Implement remaining features ===
| |
| − | * MT940 Import
| |
| − | * MT942 Import
| |
| − | * DTAUS Import and Send
| |
| − | === Testing / Feedback ===
| |
| − | As [http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-de/2008-June/005986.html announced] on the german user mailinglist the current implementation reached a stage where feedback of users is needed.
| |
| − | The developers successfully fetched online account balances and transactions, and transferred money.
| |
| − | Debit notes should work now too, but are yet completely untested. Currently any AqBanking related import feature is still missing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to go for a test, you can find patches for Gnucash 2.2.4 and Gnucash 2.2.5 here:

| − | You can find also experimental Debian packages here:

| − | If you prefer the hard way, you can find the development branch here:
| |

| − | which you can check out and keep up to date as described on the [[Subversion]] page.

| − | The porting has happened on the aqbanking3 branch initially, but has been merged back into trunk now and is proposed for a backport to the stable branch for inclusion in GnuCash 2.2.6.
