The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.3, the fourth release in the
stable 5.x series. This is a snap release to fix the bug listed below.
Between 5.2 and 5.3, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
• Bug 798967 - Cannot Save to Any Path After Upgrading to 5.2 Fix
inverted if statement condition for save success flag
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
• Some memory cleanup by Chris Lam.
• Missing from the 5.2 release notes is that Chris streamlined the
transaction scrubbing so that each transaction gets scrubbed only once. This
improves--in some cases substantially--the time to load and to run Check and
Repair.

downloaded from:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/5.3/gnucash-5.3.tar.bz2
