[GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 5.5 Released

Sun Dec 17 22:18:12 EST 2023

Hi,

I just installed 5.5 on Windows and I noticed when opening a Customer
Report (from the customer overview screen of all customers, double-clicking
any customer to bring up the customer report) crashes GnuCash.

In ..\AppData\Local\Temp I do see the report there.
gnucash.trace.######.log is empty.

Rolling back to the last 5.4 stable build (
gnucash-5.4-2023-12-13-git-5.4-156-g273c961fc4+.setup ) works as expected
and the customer report opens.
