[GNC] Where is GnuCash 5.12-2 for Intel Mac?

[Peter Lamb]

Thanks, Adrien.

I had that problem with chopped-off menus in 5.11 (and I posted about it 
in this list), but it was fixed for me in 5.12-1 (and I posted about 
that, too), so I probably don't need to update to 5.12-2.

But it would probably be a good idea if the file naming was fixed so 
that people who do need the update can get it more conveniently and with 
more certainty that they're getting the right version.

Regards,
Peter
