[GNC] Finance::Quote started multiplying prices by 100

[aeg]

 Hi Bruce,
While using F::Q version 1.5301, the quoted prices always matched the figures obtained elsewhere, and GnuCash displayed those figures in GB Pounds, so all was well. It was only when I transferred my GC file to the computer running GC version 5.4 and F::Q version 1.62 that I started to see prices that were 100 times greater than they should be.
Regards,Alan G

Alan,

In 1.45 Alphavantage started dividing all .L pricing data by 100. Which 
means securities traded in British Pounds were reported as 1/10 their 
actual value. The ".X" workaround was officially released in v1.58 on 
2023-08-12. I'm somewhat surprised you didn't notice incorrect pricing 
for London Exchange securities that traded in Pounds.
