There are no national versions, and in any case even US residents would be
foolish indeed to rely on GnuCash's documentation for tax information. The
Tutorial and Concept Guide presents a very basic overview of accounting to help
new users understand how GnuCash is different from programs like KMyMoney or
Quicken. Beyond that any examples are intended to illustrate how to do tasks in
GnuCash.
No, GnuCash has no "check for updates" function. MacOS and Microsoft Windows
users can install new all-in-one packages. Linux users can either install the
flatpak or rely on their distro's package manager though most of those tend to
lag behind releases. Installing an upgrade in the same major release shouldn't
affect your data.
