I ran "flatpak update" in the terminal to update to the latest flathub 
version v5.7 and I see a message that says GNOME 44 runtime is no longer 
supported as of March 20, 2024.  I don't see this message when 
installing from from https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak 
(gnucash-stable-C5.7-D5.7.flatpakref) which used GNOME 46 runtime.

This is the message I get:
"The GNOME 44 runtime is no longer supported as of March 20, 2024. 
Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.
Info: applications using this runtime:
    org.gnucash.GnuCash"

I did not install the flathub version and stayed on v5.7. Build ID: git 
5.7+(2024-06-29).

I attached two text files to compare GnuCash from stable build to 
GnuCash from flathub.

Bruce
