 Version History
 ---------------
+ 5.17  - 27 Sept 2026
+ Between 5.16 and 5.17, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
+        o Bug 799744 - Import transaction from CSV skips fields if CSV file has
+	               backslash just before final quote in a quoted field:
+		       Document added checkbox.
+ The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
+         o Guide Basics: Deleted the note about .xac files
+    	 o Guide Accounts: Changed 'account ' to 'account type':These lists
+	   are actually account types.
+	 o Guide Accounts: Changed 'courses' to 'quotes'
+    	 o Manual Account Actions: Remove Account types section as it's
+	   documented in the Guide.
+    	 o Update adjust-dpi.sh to eliminate file changes due to rounding
+	   differences and other very small changes.
+    	 o Resize Investment Lots figures to fit in the page.
+    	 o Document CAGR columns in Investment Lots report: Add Realized and
+	   Unrealized CAGR documentation to the Investment Lots report in the
+	   Help Manual and Tutorial & Concepts Guide
+    	 o Added some field detail to ch_invest. Some clarification added to
+	   "Symbol/abbreviation" and "ISIN, CUSIP, or other code" fields.
  5.16  - 28 June 2026
        o Fix the description of the Character-separated radio button in the
          CSV Import Assistant to match the label.
