Announcement: GnuCash 2.6.15 Released

[Dave H]

John,

I've installed version 2.6.16-1 and it starts up as expected with the
exception that the Save icon is immediately active/enabled which was
somewhat unexpected, well surprising really as I hadn't had a chance to
make any changes yet.

Are there some time fixes happening as part of the file open - I'm in
Brisbane, Australia (GMT + 10) and the most recent log file has about 5
records in it that look time related - see below ???

Cheers Dave H.
