[GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[David H]

I've been using Gnucash since early 2010 so I guess that qualifies me as an
experienced user.  Not having read the release docs I was surprised when it
first popped up but I'm liking it so far and it's quite good at identifying
inconsistencies in past entries :-)  If you don't like it, stick with 4.14
which I assume doesn't have all the bells and whistles ?

Cheers David H.
