These are not extremely significant changes but if you are subject to US Income Tax reporting requirements and use gnucash to aid in preparing your US tax returns, you should upgrade so that your Tax Report reflects these latest updates. If you are using Windows or a Mac, the announcement tells you where to get the update. If you are using another operating system (Linux, etc.), the easiest way to get the update is to wait until it becomes available through your normal package distribution mechanism. But sometimes there can be significant delays between the gnucash release and its availability through these normal distribution channels. And since tax time in the US is upon us now, there is a way that you may be able to get just the US Tax updates into your existing gnucash installation before the 2.4.10 release is available to you, if certain prerequis</pre> Alex Aycinena 2012-02-08T19:58:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.announce/158 <pre>Hey all, I appologize again for the 16 hour outage. Comcast, my network provider, inadvertantly double-booked a net-block and assigned me the same block as another customer. So the outages over the past few days have been the result of that customer and I fighting it out. I finally got to someone last night who determined the actual problem, but as a result I got renumbered. As a result of the renumbering I had to get a number of other pointers updated to the new address and that finally took as of a few minutes ago. SO.... Packets are now flowing again, and HOPEFULLY we wont have this kind of outage again. *fingers crossed* Again, I am very sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully this will be the last one. (at least until the power outages start ;) -derek, your friendly neighborhood sysadmin. </pre> Derek Atkins 2011-10-27T14:13:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.announce/157 <pre>Hey all, You may have noticed an outage since about 1pm US EDT yesterday. There was a total network failure and my network provider (Comcast Business Class) didn't actually track it down until this morning. It should be all fixed now and services should be up and running normally. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. Long version: At shortly after 1pm I noticed my network was out and I couldn't get to any websites. I quickly determined that I could only get 3 hops out into Comcast's network so I called Comcast support to report the problem. I spent an hour on the phone with them during which time they blamed me for bad settings on my systems!!!! Stupid first-line techs. Anyways, I escalated and was supposed to get a callback from 2nd tier support within 4 hours. That didn't happen so I called back again around 7pm only to be told that no, it was an 8 hour callback window. Of course I never got the callback. This morning I called back yet again and this time the tech worked through the problem. </pre> Derek Atkins 2011-10-26T12:25:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.announce/156 <pre>GnuCash 2.4.8 released The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.8, the eigth bug fix release in a series of stable of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software.

I plan to move the hardware on Thursday, October 20th sometime in the afternoon US/EDT. I'm leaving a 6-hour window in which I will shut down the servers, unplug everything, haul them to the car, drive them to the new location, haul them from the car, plug them in and turn them on. During this outage there will be no access to Email, Wiki, Subversion, Email Logs, IRC Logs, or gncbot. Access to www.gnucash.org will remain, as it's hosted elsewhere. I will send an email prior to shutting down the services, and I'll keep people updated on IRC while I'm still online. Note that there will be a followup outage sometime in a few weeks while the hardware gets properly installed once the server fa</pre> Derek Atkins 2011-10-17T16:44:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.announce/153 <pre>Hi all, You may have noticed that the mailing lists have been quiet, and if you're a developer you may have noticed that SVN has been inaccessible. This is due to a network outage at my location that took over 48 hours for my ISP to correct. I plan to change class of service in a few months which should speed up recovery of any future outages. The outage started around 1pm on Thursday and the ISP was notified within 15 minutes. Of course due to the plebian level of service I currently purchase from them they couldn't schedule a technician until today. The technician replaced some equipment and the packets began to flow again. I am extremely sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused you. As of 6:11pm US/EDT all services should be running normally again. -derek </pre> Derek Atkins 2011-08-06T22:41:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.announce/152 <pre>Hey all, You may have noticed that SVN, Wiki, Email, and Trac have been down for the past 13 hours. Comcast decided that they didn't want to provide service for about 12 hours starting around 1:30am. Once they decided to restore it they decided I needed a new IP address so I needed to get the network reconfigured, which took another hour. Packets seem to be flowing as of 3:05pm EDT. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. -derek </pre> Derek Atkins 2011-07-27T19:15:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.announce/151 <pre> GnuCash 2.4.7 released The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.7, the seventh bug fix release in a series of stable of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software.

It's currently running a 2.5-year-old system (Fedora 10). I'd like to upgrade it to Fedora 15. The upgrade will probably take the better part of a day, considering I need to go through each step from 10-15, and each upgrade will probably take an hour or two. So I expect total time offline to be around 5-10 hours, give or take. During the maintenance period there will be no access to: * Subversion * Trac * Wiki * Email * Email Archives Access to www.gnucash.org will NOT be affected. My plan would be to shut down the system and bring it up on a private address during the upgrade process. Then I'll revert over to the regular address once it's upgraded and tested. I plan to start the process around 0800 US/EDT (1200 UTC) on Tuesday, June 6. I hope to finish before 2200 US/EDT (0200 UTC). Status updates will be sent to the #gnucash IRC channel on irc.gimp.org Developers: please let me know if this window does not work for you. </pre> Derek Atkins 2011-06-03T20:22:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.announce/145 <pre>GnuCash 2.4.6 released ------------------------------- The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.4.6, the sixth bug fix release in a series of stable of the GnuCash Free Accounting Software.

Unfortunately some of that surgery failed, requiring a quick reboot of the machine. I expect downtime of less than 15 minutes. I plan to perform the reboot tonight at 11pm US/EDT (0300 UTC). During this time email, wiki, subsversion, and trac will be inaccessible. I'll send updates out to IRC before and after the outage, and I'll send a follow-up mail once services are restored. I'm sorry for the short notice, but the server is unstable at the moment and I want to back out one change in order to increase the long-term stability.

Power stayed down long enough that my UPSes expired. Power came back and got lost a few times over the course of the early morning and came back completely around 1:30. Unfortunately the VM Server hosting code did not. At around 4:30 I woke up, came down to the server, and determined the issue and was able to recover the system relatively quickly. I took the opportunity to update some software and reboot the system cleanly again to test it all. The final reboot happened around 5:45am and the VMs came back up shortly thereafter. All services should now be running normally. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this outage may have caused. For those that care about the gritty details, the failure was due to the way I added additional disk space to the VM server.

Unfortunately the clamav people pushed out a bad update that caused the version of clamd on the server to crash.

Long version: (Note that all times are in US EST (GMT-5)). I know the server was still alive as of 11am on Tuesday when I was in the Johannesburg airport and checking my email waiting for my flight. I know that it had shutdown sometime before 5pm EST on Wednesday when I tried to access it from Newark airport, the next time I had Network access.
