+<b>Announcement:</b> GnuCash 2.6.8 Release
+2015-09-27
+
+<h2>GnuCash 2.6.8 released</h2>
+
+<p>The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.6.8, the eighth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Please <a href="http://gnucash.org/2.6-release-tour.phtml">take the tour</a> of all the new features.
+
+<h3>Changes</h3>
+
+<p>Between 2.6.7 and 2.6.8, the following bugfixes were accomplished:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724738">Bug #724738 - Value in "Display Symbol" field not saved.</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746998">Bug #746998 - "Months Remaining" spinbox in Loan Assistant is non-obvious. Provide a tool tip explaining what it's for.</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747795">Bug #747795 - Attached file not found. MSWin only. ShellExecuteW("open") doesn't decode http escapes on file: IRIs.</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749077">Bug #749077 - wrongfully invalidating any account save location/path starting with ".gnucash"</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752035">Bug #752035 - Transaction Report "Filter By" Not Always Working.</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752204">Bug #752204 - .gml2 files are modified during build. Since there's no real benefit to saving the files most of the time, don't, but leave the save line in, commented out, to make it easy to write new files if necessary.</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752879">Bug #752879 - Finance::Quote TZ Date::Manip config variable is deprecated.</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753146">Bug #753146 - free(): invalid pointer on duplicate transaction when Use Split Action Field for Number is set.</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754617">Bug #754617 - Gnucash should use PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG</a></li>
+ <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754764">Bug #754764 Budget Doxygen documentation - gnc-budget-view.c.</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:
+<ul>
+ <li>Clean up deprecated Gtk functions to make eventual migration to
+ Gtk3 easier.</li>
+ <li>Improve storage of prices in the price db so that there is only
+ one per day and a preference list determines what sources can
+ overwrite existing prices. Prices are stored in the direction
+ that the price is greater than one to preserve precision for
+ large prices that would be small in the other direction.</li>
+ <li>Correct the Stock, Bond, Market Index, and Mutual Fund account
+ types to ASSET in the template accounts. STOCK and MUTUAL are
+ not compatible with currency.</li>
+ <li>Clean up some non-fatal asserts.</li>
+ <li>Developer documentation improvements.</li>
+ <li>Fix backend Sync errors not being reported.</li>
+ <li>Restore Date::Manip as an explicit dependency in gnc-fq-update;
+ it's required for gnc-fq-helper, not Finance::Quote.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Translations Updated: Danish, Dutch, French, German.</p>
+
+<h2>Important update notification</h2>
+<p>If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work properly. This user cache can be found in <em>.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/</em> in your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.</p>
+<p>Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.</p>
+
+<h2>Documentation</h2>
+<p>Concurrent with the release of Gnucash 2.6.8 we're pleased to also release a new version 2.6.8 of the companion <em>Help</em> and <em>Tutorial and Concepts Guide</em>.</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Extensive German Translation improvements -- Mechtilde Stehmann</li>
+ <li>Bug 705309 - A/R & A/P Need Warnings, Sales Tax Table and
+ Billing Terms Editor need documentation -- Chris Good</li>
+ <li>Expand Help for Transfer Dialog, Multicurrency, and Price Editor
+ -- John Ralls, David Carlson, Geert Janssens</li>
+</ul>
