GnuCash

Old GnuCash Versions

GnuCash has changed across multiple releases, so this archive keeps its earlier package records separate from the current software review. The preserved inventory covers versions 5.1.1, 4.11, 4.10, 4.9, 4.8, 4.6, 4.5, 4.4, 4.3, and 4.2, plus 11 additional entries; the current page identifies 5.4.

Older package data is useful when a system inventory names a retired build or when a compatibility test must be reproduced. Separating that evidence from the current review avoids presenting historical packages as though they were the recommended release.

GnuCash Version Archive

Archive coverage for GnuCash spans 21 versions and 56 package records. The recorded releases are 5.1.1, 4.11, 4.10, 4.9, 4.8, 4.6, 4.5, 4.4, 4.3, and 4.2, plus 11 additional entries, with platform labels including Windows Installer, macOS, Linux, and OS X.

Representative filenames include gnucash-4.12.setup.exe, Gnucash-Intel-4.12-1.dmg, gnucash-4.12.tar.bz2, gnucash-4.11-1.setup.exe, Gnucash-Intel-4.11-1.dmg, gnucash-4.11.tar.bz2, gnucash-4.10-1.setup.exe, and Gnucash-Intel-4.10-3.dmg, plus 48 additional entries. Their recorded package formats are EXE, DMG, and TAR.BZ2; these details help distinguish installers, portable archives, disk images, mobile packages, and other distribution types that may have different setup requirements.

• Archived versions: 5.1.1, 4.11, 4.10, 4.9, 4.8, 4.6, 4.5, 4.4, 4.3, and 4.2, plus 11 additional entries.
• Recorded platforms: Windows Installer, macOS, Linux, and OS X.
• Package formats: EXE, DMG, and TAR.BZ2.
• Stored package records: 56; records with checksums: 56.

Working With Archived GnuCash Releases

Historical builds can matter for controlled rollback tests, long-lived equipment, archived project environments, or software inventories that must name an exact release. The version and filename records above make those cases easier to investigate without confusing them with the current release.

Do not choose a historical package from its filename alone. Check the version label and platform row, then consider whether the surrounding operating system, runtime libraries, drivers, and network services still match the environment that release expected.

Package and Platform Compatibility

The operating-system labels associated with these old releases are Windows Installer, macOS, Linux, and OS X. They provide the first compatibility filter, but architecture, runtime, permissions, and surrounding dependencies may still need separate confirmation.

The formats represented here are EXE, DMG, and TAR.BZ2. Extracted archives may behave differently from installers, while disk images and mobile packages require their platform's normal installation process. Preserve the original filename when documenting or moving a historical package.

Checksums and File Identification

Checksum information is available for 56 of 56 package records, using MD5, SHA1, and SHA256. A matching digest helps identify a file, although it does not establish that an old release is secure or suitable for a modern system.

When verifying an archived file, calculate the listed digest locally and compare every character. A mismatch means the file is not identical to the recorded package and should be investigated before further testing.

Choosing Between Old and Current Versions

GnuCash's current package record identifies 5.4. The releases here, 5.1.1, 4.11, 4.10, 4.9, 4.8, 4.6, 4.5, 4.4, 4.3, and 4.2, plus 11 additional entries, remain available as historical metadata so version research does not blur into the current software listing.

Review the current GnuCash listing before using an old build. A historical release is appropriate when a specific dependency or reproducibility requirement outweighs the benefits of later maintenance.
