GnuCash 2.2.6 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.2.6 aka "Stay@Home v3", the sixth bug fix release in a series of stable releases of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software.

Getting GnuCash

GnuCash 2.2.6 can be downloaded from gnucash.org or sourceforge.net. It is available as source code. For the Microsoft Windows operating system there is a self-installing setup program which includes all necessary additional libraries.

To install GnuCash on other platforms, users will need Gnome 2, guile, and slib. Neither the currently used swig nor the previously used g-wrap packages are needed anymore when compiling from tarball or when installing a binary.

  • If you have the urge to help beyond testing please get involved in the discussions on the GnuCash mailing lists which you will find at http://www.gnucash.org. We especially need people to help with updating the documentation. Please see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get involved.
  • Translating: The GnuCash 2.2.0 release came with some new translation strings. If you consider contributing a translation, we invite you to work with the translation template in this package.
