John,

I am unsure if the Burke patch is included in this revision
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695423). If so, I suggest a
notice informing users that this revision allows the same commodity to be
held in different accounts, whereas in the past, only one account could be
associated with a specific commodity. This patch adds the account_online_id
as well to differentiate between commodities held in different accounts.
Most important - Users will be required to re-associate their downloaded
transactions to a specific commodity in the Generic Transaction Matcher.
This re-association is initially required until GnuCash "learns" the new,
unique ID of a specific Account/Commodity. (Or something to that effect...)

Just a nit-pick grammatical note; you probably meant -
         " Gnucash now requires Gtk+-2.24 and GLib-2.26. We've removed
	 most of the dependencies on libraries obsoleted by project
	 Ridley and will /be/ in position to move to Gtk+-3.x once the
	 GtkTreeModel register window work is complete. This means..."

Thanks.
