This announcement was made on September 27th 2008.

GnuCash 2.2.7 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.2.7 aka "Dates'n'Prices", the seventh bug fix release in a series of stable releases of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software.

Getting GnuCash

GnuCash 2.2.7 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.
