+<h2>GnuCash 2.6.18 released</h2>

+<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 2.6.18 we're pleased to also release a new version 2.6.18 of the companion <em>Help</em> and <em>Tutorial and Concepts Guide</em>.</p>
+<ul>
+         <li> The Italian Help translation, which uniquely uses a PO file, is frozen at commit 78cfa76 because of lack of a translator to maintain it.</li>
+         <li><a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120940">Bug 120940 - Document how automatic decimal points work.</a>
+         <li>Begin a Russian translation of the Guide by Dimitry Mangul.</li>
+         <li>Some spelling corrections in the German Guide.</li>
+</ul>
