[GNC] Gnucash,org url is now working

Sat Mar 4 02:38:03 EST 2023

Thanks to John, Fred, Derek, Geert, & Ken for clarifying the situation 
with the website & mailing lists.

Are there any plans to upgrade the GnuCash mailing lists 
(https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo) from Mailman2 to Mailman3 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html)? I mentioned before 
that I am on the board of the North Bay Linux Users Group (NBLUG - 
https://nblug.org/) and we recently upgraded from Mailman2 to Mailman3 
(https://nblug.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/), with plenty of hiccups 
along the way...

I am not sure what version the majority of GnuCash users have on their 
various machines, but the version I have on my Dell E7440 laptop is 
"Version: 3.8, Build ID: 3.8b+(2019-12-29), Finance::Quote: 1.49" as 
that is the most current version available in the Linux Mint software 
manager. Linux Mint also has a FlatHub version that appears to be listed 
as "4.10+" available in the Software Manager. I am running Linux Mint 
20.3, but the current version is 21.1 (https://linuxmint.com/), so maybe 
that is the reason I have an older version available via the Software 
Manager...?

Does GnuCash recommend using the FlatHub version when it is newer than 
the version offered in the various Linux distro repositories?

https://code.gnucash.org/website/download.phtml lists the stable release 
version as 4.13 and the unstable release version as the 4.901 one that 
John mentioned below.

Has Grande Communication Networks (https://www.astound.com/texas/ & 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Communications) been able to get 
Linas & the host machine back online yet since the February 11 storms in 
Austin, TX?
