[GNC] Gnucash Crash

[John Ralls]

No, the release bundles won’t be any different from when they were released. Last night’s nightly build has a change Sherlock made last week that might fix your crash. You can get it from https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable. 

Tomorrow’s nightly has the reversion that Sherlock referred to and that will be in tomorrow’s nightly build. Unless we were chasing entirely the wrong problem that will resolve the crash.

Regards,
John Ralls
