+<b>Announcement:</b> GnuCash 5.8 Released
+2024-07-07
+
+<h2>GnuCash 5.8 Released</h2>
+
+<p>The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.8, the ninth release in the stable 5.x series. This is a snap releae to fix a serious bug in GnuCash 5.8.</p>
+
+<h4>Between 5.7 and 5.8, the following bugfixes were accomplished:</h4><ul>
+ <li><a href="https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799347">Bug 799347 - Edit account to make it sub account under other account</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>There were no other changes.</h4>
+
+<p>New and Updated Translations: Chinese (Traditional), Hebrew, Hungarian, Macedonian, Spanish</p>
+
+<a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/gnucash/">Help translate GnuCash on Weblate</a>
+
+<h4>German AQBanking Users:</h4>
+<p>The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code finalized so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the last stable version, 6.5.4. The <a href="https://code.gnucash.org/builds/">GnuCash nightly builds</a> have beta releases with the new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable AQBanking doesn't work for you.</p>
