Important update notification
If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to remove
the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work properly. This
user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in your home
directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.
Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change
your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.
Documentation
Concurrent with the release of Gnucash 2.6.11 we're pleased to also release
a new version 2.6.11 of the companion Help and Tutorial and Concepts Guide.
More German Translation work from Mechtilde Stehmann.
New German illustrations from Mechtilde Stehmann.
Use letter size paper only in US or C locales. The rest of the world uses
