Re: [GNC] Is it safe to update?
Hi Michael: I am impressed with Snap, which seems to be a very elegant way to install apps. I too hate to mess up my systems and waste a lot of time.

Re: [GNC] Is it safe to update?
Thanks Les, I also used snap to put 2.6.21 on a test machine, also Linux Mint, and it seems to be fine. My first use of snap and took a while to find the executable. Maybe I'll try it for a while.

Re: [GNC] Is it safe to update?
Hi , I upgraded from v2.6.19 to v3.0 recently. I had some initial build problems, mainly to do with not having cleared out the previous versions libraries and my own lack of understanding of CMake, but otherwise pretty painless. No problems opening my datafiles and so far looks good. There have been changes in the storage of the user data (different location but it automatically creates the new user data for v3.0 and gives you the option of retaining the previous data in place should you need to revert) but as far as I know none in the main (XML) data file.

Aside from the tab names oddity and the fact that the summary bar for mutual fund accounts treats everything as being 1 dollar per share, I've found no show-stoppers with version 3. Of course, being out here on the bleeding edge, I have an elaborate backup scheme, paper records, and a selection of other distros (even the two expensive OSs that shall not be named) on this and other computers to fall back on if things blow up. So far, no problems. I like the new look, and things seem a bit faster too. -- N. B.

Re: [GNC] Is it safe to update?
I'm on Windows and have decided to wait a few months so that some of the bugs can get worked out. I did compile v3 on Linux and didn't have any issues with using it on a copy of my main datafile, but for "production" I don't think it hurts to wait a bit. There are some really interesting features in v3 I'd like to play with (and I will on my Linux VM) but I'm getting more patience in my old age Michael On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 11:18 AM, Michael via gnucash-user < gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > I have the same question wrt Linux.
