I have been using GnuCash for several years. Recently (end of Jan. 2012)while using ver. 2.4.8 on Mac os the finance::quote for currencies stopped updating. I updated to ver 2.4.10 but did nothing to resolve the problem. I have been manually updating the currencies that I use (USD. AUD, CAD. SGD, CHF, HKD, MOP, EUR) and all was ok. But then last week the CAD just would not update, and all calculations between USD and CAD also stopped working. (I have several Canadian stocks and I am unable to update current prices for them, or translate the exchange rate of the currency with USD.) Price updates on other currencies (although done manually through the price editor) are working ok. It would be nice for the updates to work, but I can live with manual. But the problem with CAD is a real problem. I would greatly appreciate this problem getting fixed. Regards, lelliott5@gmail.com

Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
