Announcement: GnuCash 2.4.8 Release

[Jim & Grace Flowers]

I followed the instructions for downloading 2.4.8, I think, but I was
somewhat confused when it mentioned a full installation, when all I thought
I was installing the revision.  Does this completely replace 2.4.7?  If so,
what happens to the changes I made to it?  I stopped the installation
because I had not made backup of 2.4.7.  I felt very uneasy about it.  I'm
running Windows 7 Home Premium, SP 1, 32 bit.

I don't see it spelled out explicitly in the changes, but does this release
support MAC OS 10.7?  I searched around and couldn't find anything
definitive.  Sorry if I missed something obvious.
