Perhaps something was lost in translation. When a transaction has an embedded price Gnucash assumes that it is a purchase or sale and the price is exact for that trade. Quotes are generally assumed to be estimates, therefore somewhat soft like newspaper quotes. On Fri, Nov 5, 2021, 5:57 PM Fra

David, Whether you choose to build from source or use a flatpack will depend on your experience and confidence with building software on Linux. The process is described fairly completely in the wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building, https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux and the

Thanks everyone. It looks like I should try upgrading to 4.8. I didn't realize that the official Ubuntu 20.04 repository provides 3.8, and that the ppa:sicklylife/gnucash repository is at 4.2. So one more question: do you recommend the flatpack approach, or attempting to compile from source?

That's a good guide. I'll just nitpick on your description of our version number semantics. The versioning scheme you describe was only used up until gnucash 2.6.x and was copied from the versioning scheme used by gnome*. As of 3.x we have moved to a simplified scheme consisting of only two
