Getting the same for Windows. No links for 4.9 -- still shows 4.8

Maybe it's a timing thing -- will try later this afternoon

I'm getting the same as David H. When I click on the GnuCash home page link for 'GnuCash 4.9 for Apple macOS ≥ 10.13—"High Sierra" ', I get a SourceForge "Whoops, we can't find that page." error page, presumably for a HTTP 404 Not Found error.
