      GnuCash 2.2.4 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.2.4 aka
"Kicking QIF", the fourth bug fix release in a series of stable releases
of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software.


      Getting GnuCash

GnuCash 2.2.4 can be downloaded from gnucash.org or sourceforge.net.  It
is available as source code.  For the Microsoft Windows operating system
there is a self-installing setup program which includes all necessary
additional libraries.

To install GnuCash on other platforms, users will need Gnome 2, guile,
and slib.  Neither the currently used swig nor the previously used
g-wrap packages are needed anymore when compiling from tarball or when
installing a binary.

      How can You help?

* We would like to encourage people to test this and any further
    releases as much as possible and submit bug reports in order that we
    can continuously polish GnuCash to be as stable as possible.  Simply
    post any bugs you find to bugzilla
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash

* If you have the urge to help beyond testing please get involved in the
    discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you will find at
    http://www.gnucash.org.  We especially need people to help with
    updating the documentation.  Please see
    http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get involved.

* Translating: The GnuCash 2.2.0 release came with some new translation
    strings.  If you consider contributing a translation, we invite you
    to work with the translation template in this package.  Our
    development is in String Freeze now, so you can safely work on our
    translation.  Please check
    http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation_Status for updates on this.
