FYI --- Installed Version 5.10 on Sunday evening.  Have been running with n=
o issues.  Running with Windows 11 Pro.

Have noticed a very curious thing, however.  Revo Uninstaller and Windows C=
ontrol Panel is reporting it as version 5.9 even though the startup screen =
in GNU Cash shows 5.10.

Not sure why it is still registering as 5.9.  I uninstalled it and re-insta=
lled and splash screen says 5.10 but still registering as 5.9.

This is something very minor I suppose since functionality does not appear =
to be affected.

Downloaded latest version from SorceForge.

Ken

Subject: [GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 5.10 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.10, the eighth release in =
the stable 5.x series.
Between 5.9 and 5.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
    Bug 798789 - Trading Accounts
    Bug 799283 - Segfault/Crash if payment dialog change from customer to v=
endor
    Bug 799420 - gnucash 5.8 crashes on windows 10 while importing qif
    Bug 799423 - Crash when creating ETF transaction
    Bug 799429 - Crash when changing accounting period end date
    Bug 799430 - Type-Ahead feature lost account setting functionality
    Bug 799433 - Right-click issue in import window

    Make the context menu apply to the row under the pointer instead of the=
 selected row.
    Bug 799435 - Right-click issue in reconcile window

    Right click should open the context menu, not extend the selection.
    Bug 799437 - Crash deleting and recreating an SX with the scheduled tra=
nsaction editor open
    Bug 799439 - Duplicate information in description when importing CAMT.0=
53.001.02 via aqbanking
    Bug 799443 - Edit find account jump then open, open the last highlighte=
d account not the jumped to account
    Bug 799444 - Silent crash on CSV import
    Bug 799451 - Cannot translate different meanings of string "_Balance" t=
o Chinese.

    Add context to the msgids.
    Bug 799452 - Transaction Report: Cannot subtotal based on Number field

    enable grouping and subtotals for Num field
    Bug 799454 - Numeric value in exported CSV transactions
    Bug 799456 - Tabbing through fields autoselects all but Num field

    By which the reporter means that the value in every cell except Num is =
selected on cell entry.
    Bug 799458 - Crash attempting to edit a scheduled transaction
    Bug 799470 - Crash when clicking on Schedule Transaction Editor

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

    Tabs now close when you middle-click on them.
    The SX editor's saved duration and height are stored differently in pre=
ferences so values previously saved will be lost when switching between ver=
sions 5.9 and 5.10 (and later). We regret the inconvenience but the new sch=
eme better matches GnuCash's use of the preferences.
    Allow 0 cash amount when using the Stock Assistant to create a sell tra=
nsaction. This might happen if the commission and fees exactly balance the =
proceeds of the sale.
    Enforce searching for our gsettings schema files first where they were =
installed. This was not done when the installation prefix was /usr or /usr/=
local which could potentially cause gnucash to find other schema files firs=
t.
    Set tooltip text on the outer tab container again so that it can be upd=
ated by main_window_update_page_long_name.
    Tooltips on chart reports now appear any time the pointer hovers in the=
 chart area and reflect the nearest point. Previously the pointer had to be=
 very close to a point.
    Updated the quote source lists in the Security Editor dialog to reflect=
 the current Finance::Quote version.
    Display a warning dialog when a transaction is unbalanceable because th=
e user has set a minimum fraction on an account smaller than the security's=
 fraction in a book using trading accounts.
    Deleting a commodity will fail if there are accounts denominated in the=
 commodity. When reporting the error to the user list those accounts.
    Correct in Tips of the Day the IRC network where GnuCash's channel can =
be found.
    Ensure Python bindings Session constructor loads the session's data.
    Fix compile failures with Boost 1.87. This requires the minimum Boost v=
ersion to be 1.67, removing the option for distributions to patch older ver=
sions.
    Prevent deleting an account with an open register from logging spurious=
 errors
    Check that GUI refreshes are not suspended before calling gnc_gui_refre=
sh_all.
    Unify wording for alphavazntage tooltips.
    New script to update translator-credits.

    See POD for usage instructions.
    Document cmake 3.14 requirement set a year ago.

German AQBanking Users:
The AQBanking author is still working to get his updated PIN/TAN code final=
ized so the Flatpak, macOS, and Windows bundles of this release contain the=
 last stable version, 6.5.4. The GnuCash nightly builds have beta releases =
with the new implementation, so consider using one of those if the stable A=
QBanking doesn't work for you.
