[GNC] ANNOUNCE: (Re) GnuCash 5.14 Released

[David G. Pickett]

Some products do a software install in a parallel directory, hard linking unchanged files and copying in new files, so any debris is side-stepped.  Of course, this makes more sense if you do not skip versions, or id all files have a version in the name, and then the fetch needs to pull down just the missing files!  You can even save the old dir for quick roll back.  Sometimes the current version is a soft link to one of the install directory trees that were named with a version suffix, so roll back is just a soft link replacement.

If you send everything to everyone, you can install in a new replacement or parallel directory, so old debris is ignored.  The user and specific book settings live in a different folder, as I recall.
