Good to know that you made it to 4.14.
As for which version of 5.x to land on, that's up to you.
Some folks aren't keen on the changes to the auto-fill for the
Description field. (I like it personally)
There were certainly kinks in 5.0 and 5.1 in that regard,
It seems they have been fixed in 5.3, but then potentially new quirks
were discovered, or introduced there. (I might have found/confirmed one
myself which I don't like, but it isn't a deal breaker for me, just an
inconvenience.)
If you really are hesitant, just stay on 4.14 for now and keep an eye
out on this list for discussions around that and other topics that you
find of interest which reference changes in the 5.x series. Then make
the upgrade when ready.
The 'Accumulated Totals' preference is part of the Budget Report. Before
the introduction of this feature, you could only see each period (month)
in isolation, and a 'Totals' column, but that Totals column was for the
entire budget. So you could see your actual spending YTD, but the
variance was based on the entire year. (showing you how much you had
'left' in a budget, but not how you stood at that point in time.)
I find both Accumulated Totals, and the Totals column to be helpful when
understood what they report.
Regards,
Adrien

We started GnuCash from the shortcut on our desktop.
We have now opened the 3.11 files and ran check and repair on them. All
looks good.
I notice that some people have issues with 5.3. Should we upgrade to 5.1
instead of 5.3?
Also once we get into 5.x where do we find the 'Use Accumulated Totals'
report?
