Derek hosts the other services (wiki, bugzilla, this mailing list, etc.) are his house and that includes a backup of the website at the URI that you found. That did update.

If you use Windows 10 or 11, you can update gnucash using winget. I did 
that the other day and it picked up 5.15. I think it fetches the 
installer package from code.gnucash.org or possibly from someplace on 
github (github is a Microsoft property now).

* Open a Terminal or Powershell window (command line)
* enter: winget update (or upgrade) gnucash

It'll think a while, then if an upgrade is available it'll go ahead and 
download it, then install it asking you for admin permission of course.

If you're feeling lucky, you could do a full scan and install upgrades 
of most applications on your computer. Use:

* winget upgrade --all --include-unknown

If an upgrade for gnucash is available, it'll be in the list of what's 
found and installed. You will need to sit there and provide admin 
approval for each upgrade (most of them, anyway) if any are found.

Winget may fail to handle an update properly if the version number ends 
in a zero. I complained about that to MS in the past, and I think there 
was an update to winget addressing it, but not sure if it works since 
5.20 hasn't appeared yet ;). For an update to or from a version ending 
in a zero, be prepared to do the full manual upgrade (uninstall, delete 
related directories like the one in Program Files, and reinstall with a 
package from the official gnucash site) if winget fetches the wrong one.
