Re: [GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 5.9 Released

As Adrien elsewhere has mentioned WinGet is from MS, but WinGet can update more 
than just Microsoft Store packages.
 
I think the details about how to get a package into the supported list is here 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package/ under the 
heading Submit packages to Windows Package Manager
 
It may be that, since GnuCash is already in the list, it may be just a matter 
of updating the entry to reflect the latest version. I have not read the above 
link yet.

I use UniGetUI which uses WinGet and other package managers under the covers 
but provides a helpful UI.
 
If I search for GnuCash in that I find that there are several providers of 
GnuCash
 
The relevant ones are:
 
PackageID                            Version Source
gnucash                               5.8.0     Choclatey:community
GnuCash:GnuCash           5.6         WinGet:winget
 
There is also one from Npm  (NuGet Package Manager) but it does not say what 
version.
So, it looks like WinGet does know it but does not have the latest version. I 
am a newbie to these package managers in Windows and do not know how they get 
updated, but I think David’s suggestion is correct.
 
I will see if I can find out how these things get updated. It may just be up to 
someone to suitably notify the package manager people about the update. They 
are likely a volunteer powered outfit too.

Then you should ask the maintainers of winget when (or whether) they plan to 
add GnuCash to their system.
