[GNC] GnuCash 3.6 for MacOS 10.15 Catalina

Apple introduced a new security feature last fall, Notarization [1]. As anyone trying the new Catalina public beta may have discovered, it declines to open signed but not notarized programs downloaded from the web, including GnuCash 3.6-1.

I've worked out how to sign GnuCash while still allowing it to work on older MacOS versions (it took a bit of experimentation, Apple's documentation isn't quite right) and I've uploaded a new dmg to SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/3.6/Gnucash-Intel-3.6-2.dmg/download

SHA-256: 184ae9693582fb11c4ee2c3cb5a329faf470f601d842ff6f2db5a16aedd239a5

I encourage testing by the adventurous, especially anyone who's installed the Catalina public beta, to try it out. If there aren't any problems I'll notarize all (well, until the next Apple security change) future releases the same way.

Regards,
John Ralls
