The <literal>netcat</literal> package is now taken directly from OpenBSD's
|
|
<literal>libressl</literal>, instead of relying on Debian's fork. The new
|
|
version should be very close to the old version, but there are some minor
|
|
differences. Importantly, flags like -b, -q, -C, and -Z are no longer
|
|
accepted by the nc command.

<literal>gnucash</literal> has changed from version 2.4 to 3.x. If you've
|
|
been using <literal>gnucash</literal> (version 2.4) instead of
|
|
<literal>gnucash26</literal> (version 2.6) you must open your Gnucash data
|
|
file(s) with <literal>gnucash26</literal> and then save them to upgrade
|
|
the file format. Then you may use your data file(s) with Gnucash 3.x. See

|
the upgrade

using

<literal>config.security.dhparams.params.<replaceable>name</replaceable>.path</literal>
