Folks,
I would like to start by saying that I remain in awe of the ongoing
development effort put forth by the team and community with this
software. It really is amazing.
I am not a developer, and am unable to contribute to the programming
cause. However, the problems with the 2.6.4 release (especially under
Windows) has led to the unfortunate situation that many users are
being advised NOT to install the latest version of GnuCash.
While this was a reasonable solution in the short term, the problems
seem to have gotten drawn out.
Given that circumstance, is there any way to send out a "2.6.5" that
materially contains the last working version of GnuCash (i.e. 2.6.3)?
I think it would alleviate a lot of confusion for users.
David,
Your concerns are valid, but the Windows problems aren’t with GnuCash
code. The short version is that we broke the Windows build system and
can’t at the moment create a working Windows GnuCash to distribute,
regardless of the GnuCash version.
... and 2.6.4-2 isn't broken for everyone, it is in alternate daily use
here on WinXP SP3. e.g. I might use 2.6.3 Portable for a report I've
already set up and 2.6.4-2 if I'm trying out a new one. Because of the
way PortableApps store settings the two versions happily co-exist and
use the same data, though not at the same time, obviously.
