You don't have to, you can have as many different GnuCash versions installed on a Mac as you like, you just need to either rename them or keep them in different directories because they normally all have the same filename. But since you're not going to use GnuCash 3.4 any more you might as well

For now, the likely best method is exporting and using a spreadsheet for multi-period comparisons, though I seem to recall a proper multi-period report is in development. The multi-column report could fit that bill, but as-is, repeats all of the account labels which makes things quite

Probably not. What would change is the Perl version and consequently what folders @INC points to, but that hasn't changed in the last 5 versions, it's been 5.18 since Yosemite. gnc-fq-dump doesn't use Date::Manip, but if your Date::Manip is broken it's quite possible that your Finance::Quote
