GnuCash 2.2.1 released
The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.2.1, the
first bug fix release in a series of stable releases of the
GnuCash Open Source Accounting Software. GnuCash is available on
Microsoft Windows since the release of 2.2.0, and it also runs on
GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX.
Getting GnuCash
GnuCash 2.2.1 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.

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
