Important update notification
If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to
remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work
properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in
your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.
Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change
your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.
