[GNC] GnuCash flatpak "invisible" update?

[Tommy Trussell]

I like to watch for updates and be aware when they happen.

This system is running Ubuntu 22.04.02, so today I kicked off the update
manager (looking for updated .deb packages and their associated changelog
descriptions, if any) then from a terminal I checked for updated snaps, and
then flatpaks.

I was surprised the flatpak "stable" repository was showing an update to
GnuCash 4.13. I was even more surprised it was showing the update would be
to a commit from December. As you can imagine, I've run flatpak update
numerous times since December. Both commits SAY they're GnuCash "4.13+" and
from the same date and time in December.

What happened? Is it something weird with flatpak? From my (naive)
perspective, GnuCash looks exactly the same. The diffs are
tiny, it seems, though I didn't see any way to know that before allowing
the update.


I'm including the terminal output below, showing GnuCash updated from
