What is the best way to upgrade to the latest version.
For some of us that are challenged, maybe write down a step by step
instructions.
Thank you.

GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.14, the fifteenth release in the
stable 5.x series.
Between 5.13 and 5.14, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 799504 - Description of CAMT 053.001.02 has duplicate text
• Bug 799538 - Clipboard pastes to wrong field in SX editor Fixed Cut,
Copy and Paste when focus is not in GnucashSheet. Now, when the user clicks on
the "Scheduled Transactions" tab, the focus goes to the last edited cell.
• Bug 799682 - Unable to "Save As" (or open) a non-xml data file
• Bug 799699 - Inconsistent column headers in scheduled transaction editor
Template transactions can't have totals, the formulas are just strings. Don't
display the Tot Foo labels, they confuse users.
• Bug 799701 - SX Editor error When Frequency=Once
• Bug 799702 - build breaks with guile 3.0.11
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
• Fix crashes in processing invoices and creating mulit-commodity
transactions due to premature destruction of the account tree view. This
unfortunately un-fixes Bug 799249
• Change the Transaction report when show subtotals only is selected: When
Show only subtotals is selected (which suppresses display of individual
transactions) the lowest level of subtotals is displayed in normal type and
with just the category name instead of in bold type with a "Total of" prefix.
• Make the version information and the configured paths part of the About
Dialog selectable.
• About dialog: Use the environment variable names for user directory
labels instead of capitalized versions of the variables in gnc-filepath-utils.
The environment variables are documented in the wiki and are what the user can
change.
• Protect the special environment file prefix variables. A mailing list
post reported that GnuCash crashes when he runs it with GNC_HOME=<somewhere
random>. We use GNC_HOME to set XDG_DATA_DIR in the environment file to
accommodate relocating GnuCash on macOS and Windows and GnuCash crashes when
the schemas aren't found so prevent the user from setting the 6 special
environment variables either from the environment or by editing the environment
file.
• Add a Postponed column to the Scheduled Transactions list as requested
by Bug 799664. The column is hidden by default since it's not useful to people
who don't postpone scheduled transaction instances.
• Fix the overly-narrow text boxes in the options dialogs.
• Improve the algorithm behind autoclearing transactions. It can now
handle up to 30 uncleared transactions in an account reasonably quickly.
• Fix stale account balances and grand total during transaction import
• Removed China Merchants Bank from quote sources. The Finance::Quote
module is no longer working and will be removed in the next release.
• Added US Bonds (usbonds) to gnc-commodity.cpp New Finance::Quote module
to get prices for series E, EE, or I bonds
• Bulgarian Lev (BGN) replaced by Euro 1 Jan 2026.
• SRFI-64 test-equal no longer considers exceptions equal to #f.
• Improve some translatable strings.
• Xml Backend: speed up parsing of node text and of GUIDs.
• A variety of leak fixes and efficiency improvements.
• Replace deprecated g_binding_get_target, and increase glib version to
2.68
• API change: Remove gnc_account_foreach_split reverse iteration, not used
by GnuCash.
• Reset gui component session when saving a new file, including Save As of
an existing book, reset the managed gui components to the new session prior to
clearing the old session.
