[GNC] Please address broken QIF import

Hello,

in Gnucash 5.6, importing banking transactions from a QIF file no longer 
works.

Browsing this mailing list, I discovered this has been corrected but is 
only available by compiling the latest source or using a "nightly 
build", both of which are too convoluted for Otto Normaluser (I have 
been dabbing at flatpak and I think I might have managed to install some 
build from a recent commit, but running it seems also not straightforward).

Downgrading to 5.5 is convoluted too -- only advanced GUI/CLI allow this.

This also means that the GnuCash version available from the front page 
"does not work" — not being able to import your bank statements is kind 
of breaking.

Since there is, if I understand correctly, a fix to this major bug, I 
really think a 5.6.1 release would be helpful.
