This month the community focused on the trytond core. The XML data import grows a new way to find existing records, the database schema shrinks oversized character columns automatically, and the test suite for function fields and button methods gets more coverage. On the user-facing side, the accounting menus are tidied up, and the DPD shipping carrier moves to the latest API. All of this builds on [our last LTS release 8.0](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/tryton-release-8-0/).
For an in depth overview of the [Tryton issues please take a look at our issue tracker](https://bugs.tryton.org/) or see the issues and merge requests [filtered by label](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/labels).
## Changes for the User
### Accounting, Invoicing and Payments
When a user un-reconciles a line that was created by the [receivable rule](https://bugs.tryton.org/14891), Tryton now raises a warning, similar to the warning it already shows for payables. This avoids accidentally leaving too much money in the target account.
The [accounting menus are simplified](https://bugs.tryton.org/14937). The “open journal” entry now opens the journal and period form directly instead of going through a wizard. The “close” prefix is dropped from the processing menu-entries, the reconcile wizard becomes the first one, and the redundant “account” prefix is removed from the moves menu entry.
### Stock, Production and Shipments
The [DPD shipping carrier integration](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commit/57e59f5abf4577ae44534506767b47e38f36351f) now uses Shipment Service 4.5, the latest version of the DPD API.
## New Documentation
The [documentation for creating account moves from a template](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commit/933da40ea9e6b186c65de2fd36b10e25c8dba1d8) now links the accounting menu-entry in the client, so the workflow is easier to find.
## New Releases
We released bug fixes for the currently maintained [long term support series](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/release-process/395) [8.0](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commits/branch/8.0), [7.8](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commits/branch/7.8), and [7.0](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commits/branch/7.0).
## Changes for Implementers and Developers
When all rows of a `char` field fit in a smaller column, the [database schema is now shrunk automatically](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commit/a50b564c40d14499cab06cd18d3e9b660c9832dc). This keeps the database compact without any manual intervention.
The XML data import now supports a [`search` attribute on the `` tag](https://bugs.tryton.org/13247). When the record with the given `id` does not exist, Tryton uses this domain to find an existing record before creating a new one. This makes it possible to import data using natural unique keys like the language code.
The test suite for button methods now [runs each method as a subtest](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commit/a05fa06b3a4ce8ebfacb7fc910148877ff9281a7), so a failure in one method does not prevent the remaining button methods from being tested.
The test suite for [column-based function fields](https://code.tryton.org/tryton/-/commit/5731abbdb2c793075e99d11962f5110f8054ec04) is now added to the tests of fields methods.
Initial draft powered by Minimax-M3. Curated and finalized by human hands.
