The known issues list in the release notes is only the bugs that have been reported against 3.x releases. We didn't include open bugs in earlier release notes, but you can see the current list for the 2.6 series at https://preview.tinyurl.com/y6ztsgyn. It has 260 bugs... of course most of those also apply to GnuCash 3.
