When a new version is launched would it be possible to announce when It

I understand the logic of what you describe, but, I started using
GNUCash with effect from 1.1.2018.
The opening balance on the bank statement for one of the asset a/c was
€3,986.22 and the ending balance on 16.2.2018 was €5,117.09
Gnucash shows the ending balance as €5,117.02 but the reconci

finish reconciliation.
The Tutorial explains some of the circumstances that might cause an opening
balance not to match.

Often the justification for not having undo in accounting software is

Hi,
My reconcile is a bit erratic. So, I thought of trying to find the error
by reconciling for different periods. If I put in the date for the last
