Hi everyone,
I just noticed that the main website athttps://www.gnucash.org/ doesn?t seem to
be showing the latest release 5.15 for me. It still shows 5.14 as being the
latest release.
By looking at the Github org, I found that the ?gnucash? repo [1] links
tohttp://code.gnucash.org/website/ instead ? and 5.15 is shown there as the
latest release.
Is there a reason why the code.gnucash.org<http://code.gnucash.org/> subdomain
exists separately, and why the latest release isn?t shown on the main (root) domain?
www.gnucash.org <http://www.gnucash.org/> is hosted at Linas Vepstas?s house
and he just had a change in his internet service that denies him a static IP address.
He instituted a work-around but it doesn?t currently support automatic updates, so
the update with last week?s release announcement failed. Derek hosts the other
services (wiki, bugzilla, this mailing list, etc.) are his house and that includes a
backup of the website at the URI that you found. That did update.
I did say that there was a problem withwww.gnucash.org
<http://www.gnucash.org/> in the release announcement email.
Regards,
John Ralls

********************************************
If you use Windows 10 or 11, you can update gnucash using winget. I did
that the other day and it picked up 5.15. I think it fetches the
installer package from code.gnucash.org or possibly from someplace on
github (github is a Microsoft property now).
* Open a Terminal or Powershell window (command line)
* enter: winget update (or upgrade) gnucash
It'll think a while, then if an upgrade is available it'll go ahead and
download it, then install it asking you for admin permission of course.
If you're feeling lucky, you could do a full scan and install upgrades
of most applications on your computer. Use:
* winget upgrade --all --include-unknown
If an upgrade for gnucash is available, it'll be in the list of what's
found and installed. You will need to sit there and provide admin
approval for each upgrade (most of them, anyway) if any are found.
Winget may fail to handle an update properly if the version number ends
in a zero. I complained about that to MS in the past, and I think there
was an update to winget addressing it, but not sure if it works since
5.20 hasn't appeared yet ;). For an update to or from a version ending
in a zero, be prepared to do the full manual upgrade (uninstall, delete
related directories like the one in Program Files, and reinstall with a
package from the official gnucash site) if winget fetches the wrong one.
