Hello Thomas,
This is a version compiled from the 4.8.1 git tag.
However, I just tried a freshly compiled version from git master - and
it is as I expected - using -32.45 instead of (32.45).
I'll call this a "Never mind." as I can easily generate the few files
I need from the pre 5.0 version.
Sorry for the noise.

I'm doing some preliminary end of year tax planning, so I modified
one of my tax reports from last year just changing the dates to this
year, and then exported to csv. I have a script that adjusts some
of the columns so things look better to me when imported into
LibreOffice.
Unfortunately, the script didn't work correctly, as it appears this
year the export of negative numbers uses parentheses (123.45)
instead of a negatives sign -123.45. Is this something that was
intentionally changed that I just missed, or is it something I can
configure (or even adjust with a local patch) ? I can certainly
adjust my script, but I'd rather not have to, if there is any easier
fix.
