    earliest transaction date (bug #1159)

  + Check balance assertions against the amount after the
    posting (bug #1147)

  + Allow balance assertions with multiple posts to same
    account (bug #1187)

  + Fix period duration of 'every X days' and similar
    statements (bug #370)

  + Make option --force-color not require --color anymore
    (bug #1109)

  + Add quoted_rfc4180 to allow CVS output with RFC 4180
    compliant quoting.

  + Add support for --prepend-format in accounts command

  + Fix handling of edge cases in trim function (bug #520)

  + Fix auto xact posts not getting applied to account total
    during journal parse (bug #552)

  + Transfer null_post flags to generated postings

  + Fix segfault when using --market with --group-by

  + Use amount_width variable for budget report

  + Keep pending items in budgets until the last day they
    apply

  + Fix bug where .total used in value expressions breaks
    totals

  + Make automated transactions work with assertions (bug
    #1127)

  + Improve parsing of date tokens (bug #1626)

  + Don't attempt to invert a value if it's already zero
    (bug #1703)

  + Do not parse user-specified init-file twice

  + Fix parsing issue of effective dates (bug #1722,
    TALOS-2017-0303, CVE-2017-2807)

  + Fix use-after-free issue with deferred postings (bug
    #1723, TALOS-2017-0304, CVE-2017-2808)

  + Fix possible stack overflow in option parsing routine
    (bug #1222, CVE-2017-12481)

  + Fix possible stack overflow in date parsing routine (bug
    #1224, CVE-2017-12482)

  + Fix use-after-free when using --gain (bug #541)

  + Python: Removed double quotes from Unicode values.

  + Python: Ensure that parse errors produce useful
    RuntimeErrors

  + Python: Expose journal expand_aliases

Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
