Indeed, it looks like it is misnamed as that is the date John announced the "-2" repackage because an intended fix didn't make it in:

"There’s been a long-standing Gtk problem on Macs with both a Retina and a non-Retina monitor where context menus are chopped off on the non-Retina monitor. In spite of having a patch to fix that in place in time for the GnuCash 5.12 release I found to my dismay that the patch hadn’t gotten built into the release bundles. I’ve now built new ones and uploaded them to the usual places. The SHA256s are:

f2e174a64c2e5b3499078d2c15cfb6d041d5cc67adac2d2d5f3bf27582304d60 Gnucash-Arm-5.12-2.dmg 8e3727cf6958a4ee37f1087edc4eebdfcc0f33405d5e581e73063c5822cff00e Gnucash-Intel-5.12-2.dmg"

I'm running the "-1" release from 6/28 just fine. If you aren't having issues with "-1" or you are not affected by that bug, I wouldn't stress over it. Both are essentially the same version otherwise.

Adrien

The questions about upgrading to 5.12 from 4.11 prompted me to check whether I was on the latest. I saw that the current Mac Intel version was 5.12-2, and I'm running 5.12-1.

When I clicked on the Apple macOS Intel ≥ 10.13—"High Sierra" link on the GnuCash home page, but I got a popup that says "The "/gnucash (stable)/5...ash-Intel-5.12-2.dmg" file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file."

That put me in https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/, and when I followed the links there to the 5.12 files (https://sourceforge.net/ projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/5.12/), there was a link to Gnucash-Arm-5.12-2.dmg, but the only Intel "-2" file there was Gnucash-Intel-5.11-2.dmg.

The two files Gnucash-Intel-5.11-2.dmg and Gnucash-Arm-5.12-2.dmg had the same date stamp, but it's hard to tell whether the Gnucash- Intel-5.11-2.dmg that was there is the wrong file, or the right file with the wrong name.

Anyone got any ideas?

Peter
