     Correctly re-value splits when the transaction currency is changed.
     Reset the transaction currency to match the currently open account when auto-completing.
     Refine the MacOS X localization when the system-generated POSIX locale isn't a supported locale: Prefer the country to language when selecting an alternate locale, but still pass the original language to gettext.
     Check printing: extract address from invoice/bill for payment transactions

Robert Fewell has contributed changes needed to allow the 2.6 series to read files from future major versions which use GUIDs instead of names to identify matched accounts with the Bayesian import matcher.

Other repairs that weren't marked as bugs in git:
    Revert the automatic inversion of prices whose value is less than 1.0. This corrects several regressions from 2.6.8 and 2.6.9; it proved to
 be to big a change for a maintenance branch and will re-appear in the
 next major release.
    Fix test failure due to trying to parse nanoseconds, which we don't
        actually use.
    Use @SHELL@ instead of hardcode /bin/sh in test shell scripts.
        This is a workaround for MacOS X 10.11's System Integrity Protection.
    Improve the revert action: Ask user confirmation and don't ask to save
        before reverting
    Have a more generic mechanism to set Save action's sensitivity and use it for Revert action as well
    Avoid assert in gnc_split_register_balance_trans if default_account is null.
    Performance improvements in the Cash Flow report.
    Add new account chart for Duch small businesses.
    Add some developer documentation.

-----------------------------------------------------

Sorry I can't work on this merge as I lack packaging skills.

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta:
  * Drop unavailable "locales-all" build dependency and re-disable tests
    again.
  * No-change rebuild against libktoblzcheck1v5
  * No-change rebuild against libktoblzcheck1v5
  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Avoid apport trying to report: "gnucash crashed with ImportError in
    - /usr/share/gnucash/python/init.py: No module named gnucash". Gnucash
    - is trying to load the gnucash python module, technically a .so that
    - won't load without the gnucash-python package present. The crash, a
    - failed python import, itself does not affect user experience, but is
    - nevertheless caught by apport. Until the right fix enters Debian
    - (cf. #778999), ensure that python-gnucash is always present.
    - LP: #1369273.
