[Andreas Köhler]

      GnuCash 2.2.3 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.2.3, the
third bug fix release in a series of stable releases of the
GnuCash Free Accounting Software.  GnuCash is available on
Microsoft Windows since the release of 2.2.0, and it also runs on
GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX.


      Getting GnuCash

GnuCash 2.2.3 can be downloaded from gnucash.org or
sourceforge.net.  It is available as source code.  For the
Microsoft Windows operating system there is a self-installing
setup program which includes all necessary additional libraries.

To install GnuCash on other platforms, users will need Gnome 2,
guile, and slib.  Neither the currently used swig nor the
previously used g-wrap packages are needed anymore when compiling
from tarball or when installing a binary.

      How can You help?

* We would like to encourage people to test this and any further
    releases as much as possible and submit bug reports in order
    that we can continuously polish GnuCash to be as stable as
    possible.  Simply post any bugs you find to bugzilla
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash

* If you have the urge to help beyond testing please get involved
    in the discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you
    will find at http://www.gnucash.org. We especially need
    people to help with updating the documentation. Please see
    http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get
    involved.

* Translating: The GnuCash 2.2.0 and 2.2.3 releases came with
    some new translation strings. If you consider contributing a
    translation, we invite you to work with the translation
    template in this package. Our development is in String Freeze
    now, so you can safely work on our translation. Please check
    http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation_Status for updates
    on this.
