GnuCash 2.1.2 Released

Sun May 20 13:09:55 EDT 2007

The download is missing http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/tags/ 
2.1.2/macros/svn2cl.xsl file.
For some reason, when I try to build on MacBookPro, make wants to  
generate ChangeLog using this file. If it is not present, the break  
builds at the start. If I download it, the build continues.

Regards,
v.
