Hello to all

First I want to apologize in advance for my bad  English.

Second It's my first entry in this mailing list, I apologize if I'm wrong
some steps.


I use gnucash since the version 2.4 under Ubuntu linux with excellent
result. Always use Finance::Quote for retrieve quotation of a lots of
stocks and currency.

At this time I use Gnucash 2.6.8, last week I update the Finance::Quote  at
the version 1.38 and I notice some difference in Gnucash Price Editor.

I living in Italy and the local currency it's set EUR.
So all the currency are calculated against EUR for example 1 EUR = 0.8948
UDS

Before I have a row for each single currency updated every day:
CURRENCY
|- AUD
      |-- AUD   EUR    30/09/2015   0.6276
      |-- AUD  EUR    29/09/2015   0.6211
      etc...

|- NZD
|- CAD
|- CNF
|- CYN
|- GBP
|- NOK
|- USD
etc...

After the update for some currency I have a row for each single currency as
previous:
CURRENCY
|- GBP
|- NZD
|- XAG
|- XAU
|- XPT

But Gnucash add a new currency EUR and under this there are the other
currency

|- AUD
      |-- AUD    EUR    30/09/2015   0.6276     \     Notice than are
calculated AUD/EUR
      |-- AUD    EUR    29/09/2015   0.6211       |
      etc...                                                              |
|--CAD                                                                 |
|--CHF                                                                  >

|- NZD                                                                /

|- GBP  \
|- XAG   |
|- XAU    > Updated as usual
|- XPT   /

All seem to work fine with the conversion.

My question are:
It was a wanted change in the management of currency inside Gnucash?
I honestly do not see any benefit.
If not it's a problem introduced by the new version of Finance::Quote?

Thanks to anyone who can clarify my doubts.

And I want to thank all those who work to improve this fantastic program.

Best regards
