[GNC] gnucash.org is down -- for how long?

[Libby Shaw]

Thanks for the update, John. 
 
Gnucash.org is still down today.  I sure hope this isn’t a permanent condition.  

Meanwhile, a question to the Gnucash community — 

I’m a Gnucash user since 2016 with an urgent issue I’d really like some help with.  This winter I bought a 2020 Macbook Air laptop running MacOS 12.6.2, to replace my 2010 Macbook Air running MacOS 10.12.6.  Gnucash 2.6.15 has been running fine on my older laptop and I want to continue maintaining my financial records in Gnucash on my new laptop.

First issue:  I copied Gnucash 2.6.15 from my older laptop to my newer laptop, but it won’t start in MacOS 12.6.2.  when I click on its icon there's no response except that the icon does an aborted opening-zoom animation.  

Questions:
     Is there a Mac installation procedure for Gnucash beyond copying it into the Applications folder and clicking on it?
     Can Gnucash 2.6.15 run on MacOS 12.6.2?  

Second issue:  I came across a message online saying that importing older Gnucash records to a later major release of Gnucash requires installing a sequence of intermediate versions of Gnucash.

Questions:
     What’s the oldest version of Gnucash that will run well on MacOS 12.6.2?
     What intermediate versions should I install between Gnucash 2.6.15 and the latest version?
  
Here’s hoping gnucash.org will be well again soon.  
Thanks for any help!

Libby

We don't know, we haven't heard anything from Linas. Based on some trace route probing it looks like it might be an upstream network problem at Grande Commnication Networks, his ISP.
