[GNC] Flathub does not install Gnucash ver. 4.10 flatpak, but only installs lower ver. 3.7

[parag puranik]

The first Flathub release (for 32 bit OS) was not ver 3.11 ( it could be earlier version), since I have installed ver. 3.7 on my 32 bit OS.
That said, my conclusion is : Flathub installs ver. 3.7 on 32 bit systems (that could be last ver. offerred by Flathub for i386).
To get higher versions than 3.7, you have to look out providers other than Flathub.
Can someone help me identify providers other than Flathub for a higher version flatpak for i386 systems ?

Then went to Flathub.org , then searched for Gnucash, then clicked Install button to install GNUcash Flatpak.
The website showed version 4.10, but version 3.7 got installed.

 1: I have no way of knowing what you did.
2: Command line expertise is pretty central to using Linux. Consider either spending some time learning how to use it or going back to Windows.
3: Yes, but you've already established that you're not able to install them, see answer 2.

Thanks for yourfeedback John.

(1) If the firstever version is 3.11 by Flathub, how the random version 3.7 gotinstalled ?

(2) Gone through thetwo links. However, being new to Linux (1 year) pulling older releasefrom Flathub via CLI is beyond my capacity/skill level. Neither can Ibuild the flatpak myself.

(3) Just like allhistorical versions of Gnucash (.exe) for Windows are available onSourceforge, are there any archived Gnucash flatpaks for Linux ?

I tried to install the latest Flatpak version of Gnucash 4.10 from Flathub.org through clicking 'Install' button on its site. 
However it installs the  lower version 3.7, without even giving me warning that - 'instead of ver 4.10, it is installing lower ver. 3.7'. 
Please help me know the reason where I am going wrong ? 
Actually I wanted to install Flatpak of version 3.11 first- (not going straight to ver. 4.10 from my default repository ver. 2.6.19). But unfortunately Flathub.org does not have version 3.11 listed.
Alternatively, what is the 'way to go' to install latest Flatpak ver. 3.11 ? 
Is there any (.deb) installation file ? or is there any available archived Flatpak of ver, 3.11 ? 


That doesn't seem likely since the first flatub release was 3.11.
https://discourse.flathub.org/t/install-an-older-version-of-an-app/320/3 explains how to get an older release from flathub and the commit history can be found at https://github.com/gnucash/gnucash-on-flatpak. The hash for 3.11 is c354cee.There are nightly builds going back to 3.4 at https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/maint/.
