+<p>The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.21, the twenty-second and final, final maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. This snap release fixes a brace of significant bugs that would have prevented some users from having a 2.6.x fallback after using GnuCash 3.x.<b> Note:</b> This is the last version of GnuCash that will support MacOS X versions earlier than 10.9 or Microsoft Windows versions earlier than Windows 7.</p>
<h3>Changes</h3>
-<p>Between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20, the following bugfixes were accomplished:</p>
-<ul>
- <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765946"> Bug 765846 - Expense Over Time for subaccounts: An error occurred while running the report</a>: Fix crash if acc-depth too low.</li>
- <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790526">Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug</a> This change will fix 'num-of-weeks-since-1/jan/1970' which formerly used quotient to remove the fractional part of the division. For negative values of num-of-weeks, the number is truncated in the wrong direction (i.e. towards 0). This change uses floor instead to ensure the num-of-weeks found is the nearest integer LESS than the fractional number.</li>
- <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791848">Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7</a> Enable reading ISO-formatted dates, recognize GNC_FEATURE_SQLITE3_ISO_DATES.</li>
- <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782008">Bug 792008 - gnucash 2.6.19 fails to build</a> Replace g_assert_true with g_assert for now</li>
- <li> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793278">Bug 793278 - wrong data in charts with accumulated values (like "net-linechart", "net-barchart" and "liabilities barchart")</a></li>

-<p>Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

+<p>Between 2.6.19 and 2.6.21, the following bugfixes were accomplished:</p>
<ul>
- <li>Online HBCI actions: Remove outdated non-SEPA menu items.</li>
- <li>Add XML namespaces for all Account Hierarchy Templates.</li>
- <li>General cleanup of Account Hierarchy Templates.</li>
- <li>Fix auto-selection of splits in reconcile. Really use all splits of any given day. Up to now usually the splits of the given date were not or not all included, as the time comparison didn't correctly ignore any given time-of-day of the splits. Instead, all possible time-of-days should be included.</li>
- <li>Properly detect git in case of linked worktree.</li>
- <li>Account Hierarchy for India: Set LANGUAGE=hi and LANG=en_IN to access it.</li>
- <li>Improve Import menu entries Customer & vendors use same menu label as others, replace template by tooltip, add ellipsis to entry, add comments to distinguish "Import" as verb and substantive.</li>
- <li>Provide preference panel to set the Alpha Vantage API key needed for Finance::Quote.</li>

<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>
