Thanks to John and all the team. Builds and runs with no obvious problems from the tarball on Linux Mint 21.3.

[GNC-dev] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 5.6 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.6, the seventh release in the stable 5.x series. Between 5.5 and 5.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished: Bug 798946 - start/end of current/last quarter have off-by-one error Bug 799093 - Cannot reconcile since v5.4 Bug 799179 - SLR won't allow change from "Reminder" to any other state Bug 799210 - Bad encoding of accented chars in account names in "Import CSV" wizard Bug 799213 - SIGSEGV caused by revising an auto completed transaction Bug 799222 - Crash when changing the parent of an account that has had two or more levels of sub-accounts auto-created using the register in the current session. Bug 799224 - Import of QIF gets Bug detected during duplicates (partial fix: If the new-splits object is null, it means the new account tree from the current import has no splits. Therefore the (apply min|max dates) will fail. Omitting the date query is a simple fix to prevent crashing. This is a partial fix because the crash is likely a symptom of another bug which causes the new account-tree to be empty. Bug 799225 - QIF Importer Crashes Silently after "Start Import" Button: Don't allow a QIF investment transaction without an action (buy/sell/etc) Bug 799246 - import matcher will rename incorrect splits The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports: Numeric parsing and string handling improvements in the Engine and XML backend. [gnc-dense-cal.c] sx popup: show date in preference (cf.locale) format because the date format preference is user-facing and customisable. it's jarring if the preference is dd/mm/ and the display shows mm/dd/ in accordance to the locale. Correct misleading description about creating Scheduled Transaction. Date parsing efficiency improvements. Update minumum Python version to 3.8, made necessary by updating the C API in the Python bindings. Replace deprecated distutils.sysconfig with sysconfig. distutils is not present in Python 3.12.2. Query user via dialog for date when creating a reverse transaction. More C++ conversions Avoid deprecation warning for -py3 in swig >= 4.1 [gnc-commodities.cpp] gnc_new_iso_codes is a std::unordered_map Replace some naked for loops with C++ algorithms Convert gnc-commodity to C++ and make GncQuoteSources a C++ class. [test-commodities.cpp] add some tests for gnc_quote_sources Remove the SLR status sort as it is too confusing Allow sorting of the transaction column in the Since Last Run dialog by schedule name or occurrence date. To sort by schedule name, a schedule name is first selected and then the column header is pressed to change order. To sort by occurrence date, a date is selected and then the column header is pressed to change order based on the date of the first occurrence. A tool tip has been added to indicate the sort order being used. [gtest-gnc-numeric] add operator comparisons with example int64 numbers [assistant-stock-transaction] store & retrieve associated account as metadata Update Form/Schedule line references for 2023 for the US Income Tax Report Update another gnucash-help to gnucash-manual [invoice.scm] centralize layout components into layout-key-list instead of maintaining 2 assoc lists. [invoice.scm] normalize header section generators, changing the functions to require 1 options argument only Update invoice.scm: Add spacing for long Invoice ID's (Displayed as "Reference" on the Invoice) New and Updated Translations: Croatian, Dutch, English (Australia), English (New Zealand), English (United Kingdom), French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish Help translate GnuCash on Weblate Help translate GnuCash on Weblate: https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/gnucash/ Known Problems Complete list of all open bugs: https://bugs.gnucash.org/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=blocker&bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=normal&bug_severity=minor&bug_severity=trivial&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=REOPENED&limit=0&list_id=8149&order=priority%2Cbug_severity&query_format=advanced Documentation Between 5.5 and 5.6, the following bugfixes were accomplished: Bug 799237 - Dead Link The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports: C, de:Manual:Finance-Quote: Note about Expected Time Commitment C, de:Manual:Finance-Quote: Tip about 'gnc-fq-update: Command not found' docbook: gnc-gui-de: Improve accelerator of menuitems Link https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Translation#The_Procedure in recent gnc-gui-*.dtd files Replace *dquote entities by tags C:Manual:Tools:Unify main section titles and other minor improvements Unify filename extension C:Manual:CSV Import: show icons xmlformat: Apply changes at the element 'scre
