Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 4.901 Released

2023-02-05 Thread John Ralls
BTW, www.gnucash.org isn't accepting changes so the announcement isn't visible 
there and the unstable download link remains at 4.900.

Corrected Github Links:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.901/gnucash-4.901.setup.exe
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.901/Gnucash-Intel-4.901-1.dmg
