+<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 2.6.19 we're pleased to also release a new version 2.6.19 of the companion <em>Help</em> and <em>Tutorial and Concepts Guide</em>.</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782423">Bug 782423 - Help 10.2. Setting Preferences is outdated.</a></li>
