Being a Linux GNUCash personal finance user, not doing electronic imports of
anything but stock prices, I have found it to be relatively stable using the
flatpak updates, which are far more current than the apt updates. More
aggressive users, and those on other platforms, may have more

Speaking as a long time gnucash user and an active computer scientist,
I'd like to point out that some of these

The easiest way to get into settings s the Windows Logo key + I, if you

Thanks; I haven't played with GnuCash Portable, and I don't know if that
would help do beta testing.

Noted, but is that really the case in 5.4 where a process was left running
(in Windows), causing problems for GnuCash users? That didn't seem to be
related to externals.
And the bug in 5.5 where Scheduled transactions don't work with variables,
or crash the system -- that seems to be tied to a
That's fine, and I ponder upon what I wrote, I think that "worse" was not
the best word... GnuCash is adding some nice features and I enjoy it very
much... A better word may have been "more bug-ridden". I don't remember
having as many problems with releases until this year.

If you are already running Windows 10/11 with an existing Pro,
Enterprise, or Education licence (but not a Home licence) then Windows
Sandbox is an easy way to create a (temporary) Virtual Machine, and it
only requires 4GB RAM and 1GB free disc space. You don't need a
separate licence.

I'm fairly certain you can create a VM of a running instance of Win10

MS does allow some testing VMs, so perhaps investigate that first and
how to set it up to their liking.
Another option might be a container like Docker, though I'm not

Richard,
Given the relatively small pool of active developers it is inevitable that there
will be occasions where major changes in external libraries, operating systems
as well as banking systems and technology and accounting practice can result in
a cascade of bugs in the program and the

GnuCash is great. There aren't really any other open source

Hi R Losey,
Your concerns are appreciated. As a currently non-active developer I was a bit
sad to see
the struggles of the two most recent releases. I know the current devs do what
they can
though.
Their issue is not a lack of money. It's less available time in a shrinking
pool of

Well, I will add my 2 cents worth (for that is probably all it is really worth
anyway). With no disrespect to R Losey (I can appreciate what you are
saying) I will say this:
I have been using the product since at least version 2.3. I have had few, if
any, complaints with the software.
