General Ledger

[John Layman]

Thanks, Geert.  I'm downloading the Nov 7th build now.

Speaking of General Ledger, the General Ledger tool has a quirk of including
a phantom transaction for every open register (presumably, the entry line at
the foot of each register since the phantoms are zero transactions bearing
today's date.)  It's just a minor annoyance, but if many registers are open
it results in a lot of slop near the bottom of the ledger.

Indeed, there is a bug in the general ledger in the 2.4 series. I fixed this
last week so the next release should work. Unfortunately I don't know when
the new release will be scheduled. We just recently released 2.4.8.

If you need it more urgently, you have a couple of options:
* On Windows, you could try the weekly build of the 2.4 branch [1]. The
build from November 7th already has the fix.
* On linux or OS X, you will have to rebuild yourself I'm afraid or find
someone who can and wants to do it for you.
