This is a draft

GnuCash 2.2.5 released

The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.2.5 aka "Do what I mean", the fifth bug fix release in a series of stable releases of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software.

Getting GnuCash

GnuCash 2.2.5 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.

How can You help?

  • We would like to encourage people to test this and any further releases as much as possible and submit bug reports in order that we can continuously polish GnuCash to be as stable as possible. Simply post any bugs you find to bugzilla http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash
  • 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. Our development is in String Freeze now, so you can safely work on our translation. Please check http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation_Status for updates on this.
