Ubuntu grabs the current version when they set their freeze for a release. Newer releases are not backported by the Ubuntu team. (I think there are some technical reasons for the holdup) As for the config issue, the 3.x series changed some config locations to make them more sane across

Simply grabbing the the current package in the Ubuntu repo might not be adequate to reconnect the configuration files. You may need to decide whether you want that package or the recently available flatpak or perhaps stay with 2.6.21, depending on you particular usage preferences. In all of

You mentioned that Ubuntu upgraded a few times. Does that mean that you are no longer on release 16.04? That release is very stale today. If not 16.04, what release are you on? There is currently a flatpak release of GnuCash 3.6 available, but it has limitations that makes it unsuited for some

I’m pretty sure it does give the subject in the header that is included with each message. I should think a horizontal rule wouldn’t be all that difficult for mailman to add if you put in the request. Messages get added to the digest as they are received by the mailing list server and then
