Mostly for Windows users we had some issues due to big changes in the 
build infrastructure compared to gnucash 2.6.3. These forced us to 
rebuild some base libraries we depend on - glib, cairo, and gtk.

This rebuild immediately introduced another bug which has been fixed 
with 2.6.4-2 on Windows. There may be other subtle bugs due to this. And 
unfortunately they can be an *all* areas of gnucash due to the nature of 
these libraries.


Other than that an interesting starting point is the list of bugs that 
was reported as fixed in the release announcement on our website. You 
could verify if each bug is indeed fixed and equally important that they 
don't introduce new failures in the area they touched.

The bar charts issue is one example. Please do report other issues if 
you come across them.
