German AQBanking Users:
The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code finalized
so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the last
stable version, 6.5.4. The GnuCash nightly builds have beta releases with the
new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable AQBanking
doesn't work for you.
