<<snip>> the main Gnucash page (www.gnucash.org) includes release announcements that include substantial lists of changes from version to version. I don't know if the lists are exhaustive, but they are sure exhausting to wade through.
There may be a better way to get this information, since I believe it's culled from svn somehow. David <</snip>> Hi David, Thanks for pointing out the lists of changes. I have scanned the current page and see what you mean. It looks like among what is there I could get an idea of the kinds of changes that occur. A lot of the present entries mention bug fixes. I hope to identify main software enhancements, the end results of all the individual correcting steps. It is certainly a place not to be overlooked. The present pages documents only from version 2.3.7 thru 2.3.14. I have to review from 2.0.0 to 2.4 (whenever that is released), so I have a much bigger list. Do you know where I can get changes listed from 2.0.0 thru 2.3.6? Thanks. Tom -----Original Message----- From: David T.
