That has always(1) also been the case with Gnucash. Back many years ago
though, there used to be semi-regular odd-numbered development releases
throughout the development cycle. That practice has fallen by the
wayside in the last couple of years.


(1) Where "always" in this case translates to "ever since I started
using gnucash", which was in the run-up to the release of 1.4.
