Advance Portfolio Report Retrieval of Stock Prices

[Geert Janssens]

Richard,

The fact that price quotes stopped working after you updated gnucash is 
a coincidence. Just today yahoo seems to have changed its price 
retrieval interface (again), which break price retrieval in gnucash and 
other programs that depend on the finance-quote package. I have already 
suggested to other people to contact the finance-quote maintainers to 
check into this. If you wish to contact them as well, their bug tracker 
is here:
