The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

• The type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions has been substantially overhauled based on extensive user feedback. Matches are now only on the beginning of words and are now sorted by age since last use. This both substantially reduces the number of matches and prioritizes the most recently used as being the most likely candidates for re-use. To help distinguish cases of long descriptions where the match would be outside the popup's viewport the viewport is automatically scrolled horizontally so that the end of the left-most (right-most in rtl languages) matches is centered in the view. Completion can be aborted with the key or a new Don't autocomplete selection that's the first entry in the popup.
• Fix lockup on Windows in type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions.
• More budget-module sign fixes and improvements.
• Lots of memory-leak fixes, GLib modernization, and code cleanup by Richard Cohen, Simon Arlott, & Chris Lam.
• bugfix xaccTransGetTxnType: avoid returning TXN_TYPE_LINK incorrectly: A TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT will have non-APAR splits; a TXN_TYPE_LINK will not have non-APAR splits. This bug manifests as a regular TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT transaction being later voided being incorrectly changed to TXN_TYPE_LINK.
• Including brokerage fees in Money Out calculation (if not ignoring them) in advanced-portfolio.scm report and updating the "advanced" tests to reflect selling fees being included into the money out value
• [stock-txn-asst] Don't use the initial value in amount edit widgets unless they're valid. Otherwise the invalid value will log an error that will prevent later valid input from working.
• BUGFIX: Actions > Online Actions > Show log Window does not open when it is first clicked.
• cmake: check gdk only when building GUI
• Get the tooltip working on "Online Banking Setup"

Between 5.2 and 5.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

• Bug 798967 - Cannot Save to Any Path After Upgrading to 5.2 Fix inverted if statement condition for save success flag

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

• Some memory cleanup by Chris Lam.
• Missing from the 5.2 release notes is that Chris streamlined the transaction scrubbing so that each transaction gets scrubbed only once. This improves--in some cases substantially--the time to load and to run Check and Repair.
