[GNC] GnuCash 4.2 Released

[Dale Alspach]

On Mint 20 there was no automatic update of the flatpak 4.1 version of
gnucash. Running
sudo flatpak update
I get
        ID                          Branch  Op  Remote   Download
 1. [✓] org.gnucash.GnuCash.Locale  stable  u   flathub  1.0 MB / 7.3 MB
 2. [✓] org.gnucash.GnuCash         stable  u   flathub  1.9 MB / 110.4 MB

I allowed the update and so far 4.1 seems to have been replaced with 4.2
without issues.
