We're contemplating a quicker cycle time between 3.0 and 4.0; depending on progress this may be two or three years, so the 3.x schedule is laid out here for 2 years. If that works out we'll start the 3.9xx alpha/beta releases in the summer of 2019.

GnuCash 4.0 will be released in early 2020. Unstable releases will begin in October 2019. Plan on code and string freezes in early December.

Goals for 4.0

Goals for 4.0:

  • 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++.

Schedules

GnuCash 4.0 will be released in early 2020. Unstable releases will begin in October 2019. Plan on code and string freezes in early December.
