I’d made an error when I wrote bit in the bundler script that derives the version to pass to the setup-generator: It gets the release instal directories, sorts them, and grabs the last one. The problem with that is that it’s a lexical sort so if say 5.8, 5.9. and 5.10 directories exist then the sort order is Gnucash-5.10 Gnucash-5.8 Gnucash-5.9
LOL, back in my working days, one of those really had the programmers stumped. And I only immediately saw WHAT went wrong because intimately familiar with what sequence of machine code instructions to expect from a COBOL statement. Saw "hey, using a logical compare -- now why did the compiler do THAT?" (arithmetic compare intended). From there not all that long to find the field redefinition and have the programmer switch to the numeric field name vs the alphameric field name.
