The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.21, the twenty-second and
final, final maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. This snap release
fixes a brace of significant bugs that would have prevented some users from
having a 2.6.x fallback after using GnuCash 3.x. Note: This is the last version
of GnuCash that will support MacOS X versions earlier than 10.9 or Microsoft
Windows versions earlier than Windows 7.
Changes
Between 2.6.19 and 2.6.21, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
Bug 795049 - GnuCash 2.6.20-1 (Fedora Linux package) is unable to open
MariaDB database.
Bug 795068 - src/optional/python-bindings missing several files.
Bug 795078 - missing _inflateValidate symbol has recurred in 2.6.20 on
MacOS.
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.
Documentation
Since this is a snap release there is no new documentation release.
