Norman, While the “FinanceQuote Update” module might not have been changed since 2010, *Finance Quote* (which actually performs quote retrieval for GnuCash) most certainly has been updated numerous times since then. If you *run* “FinanceQuote Update,” it will … update Finance Quote for you. The most recent version of Finance::Quote is 1.47, and is dated November 12, 2017.
Please note that there has been a huge amount of discussion about F::Q over the last year and a half (which is probably what underlies your note about it stopping working); to keep the story short, Yahoo! decided to stop providing price quotes. From the resulting hullaballoo, F::Q changed primary quote providers, either to AlphaVantage or to Yahoo! Json. You will need to reset your commodities each to use a currently-valid source. Much of this is explained on the wiki at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Why_doesn.27t_online_quoting_work.3F <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Why_doesn.27t_online_quoting_work.3F> Note Paragraph 3.
